Londonderry/Derry prepares itself for the results of the UK City of Culture awards results (Breaking news - They won). For heavens sake, what are these people thinking about?
I know the riots in Ardoyne have nothing (Directly) to do with the folk in Derry/Londonderry, but we don't have to cast our minds back too far to remember the cultural tolerance shown to the Apprentice Boys of Derry when they parade through this wonderful vibrant city. Nor to those deemed to be homosexual. Those in this Country that are quick to wave Palestinian, Israeli, European and other so called worthy cultural flags are very quick to forget that we can't even get along with our own neighbours in this Province. Whilst ethnically the same, culturally different, we see fit to oppose our own, whilst we promote every other culture in this small piece of land.
Many commentators in Ulster refer to a small proportion of the population that are living in the past. I would suggest that the vast majority of us are living in the past. Just take a look at voting patterns here to see if we have moved on. I don't include myself here as i won't vote for what i can't believe in and that includes any of the local political parties. Mr Griffin come and save Derry, Londonderry, Ulster and Northern Ireland.
