"A bottomless pit beset by corruption"

That's the damning verdict on Northern Ireland by the writer and broadcaster Matthew Parris.

He says its costs taxpayers more to keep Northern Ireland in the union 
than the UK will get back from leaving the EU.

But loyalist blogger Jamie Bryson claims his article is ‘offensive’.
