Stormont Announces Budget Cuts
Education & Learning, Social Development and Justice are to be the hardest hit in the newest round of budget cuts that are in place because the DUP and the Shinners can't agree on welfare reforms in place across the water.
Health & Education are unaffected by the budget but here are the effects the cuts will have:
Education and Learning:
Decrease in the availability of courses to acquire skills for further advancement in employment
Decreased funding for R&D throughout the province
Employment rights to be cut - Doing away with the whole 'racial discrimination' thing and just employing your brother.
Social Development:
No further social housing to be built - fuck people, let them just live on the streets. If they can't find a job, it's not our problem...and with the cuts to Education and Learning, finding a job will be even harder now.
Pensions - With the lack of housing, a lot of people will probably die a lot younger anyway so the shortfall in pensions will even itself out.
No more parks - we might continue renaming our old parks after terrorists but other than that...eh, kids can play on the roads.
Justice:
Cuts to legal aid - if people can't afford to represent themselves, that's not our problem. They should get a better job (see Education & Learning)
Thankfully though, they've found £1,000,000 to save the aquarium so it's not all bad news.
