According to Stormont's Deputy First Minister Marty McFly, the SDLP and the UUP have become 'problem parties.'
Please, stop! My sides are hurting too much here!
We have a DUP/Sinn Fein coalition which has copperfastened water charges, sought to defend funding the UDA, tried to privatise the Giant's Causeway and are now forcing through a cut in heating grants to pensioners by refusing to expand Margaret Ritchie's budget.
Remember, prior to their belated conversions to peaceful democracy, both of these parties were heavily connected to paramilitary terror organisations. Both contributed to the prolongation of three decades of conflict during their existence. Both eradicated prospects for peace and reconciliation for all that time.
But, because they refused to sign off on a budget that will hurt the elderly, the vulnerable and those with special needs, apparently it is the SDLP and the UUP who are the problem parties!
Welcome to Northern Ireland, people.
You really couldn't make it up.

Oh right. So the DUP and SF are hurting the elderly and vulnerable.
No change there, then.
