Or in the case of Derry, the 'Gold Star' is to apologise for putting the ****** kid in detention for no good reason. It has thus far been very positive. The development of the Ebrington site across the water has been hugely positive already. The city has been neglected for so long it is about time something good happened here.
BBC Scotland news is always the best in the UK - you very rarely ever get a front page without a rape or a murder. Ever since the ceasefire all we get in NI is car crashes, industrial accidents and boring petty political ****e that Medro never fails to repost on here.
I believe it can be used to showcase what is best about Irish culture through dance, art, music, theatre and poetry. I hope the investment into the regeneration of this city can leave a positive and lasting legacy in the form of improved infrastructure and employment opportunities. If that is within the context of a 'UK City of Culture', then so be it. the overwhelming majority of people here will call it Derry, City of Culture. Others will call it Londonderry UK city of culture. At the end of the day if it is good for the city then it should be welcomed. I'm not going to get hung up on the title Patrick.
UK city of culture being awarded to a city in the UK. The Irish folk should show more restraint and keep their noses out of British affairs as we Brits have always done with their business
Medro still thinks being Irish is incompatible with being in the UK, despite the fact that many people in Ireland are Irish and in the UK.
When did I say this Mickelback? Just askin Billy if he thought it was a good thing to give Londonderry the title UK City of Culture.
It's your pointless pursuit of the question of whether or not Rebel will accept Derry as a UK city of culture (since Rebel has already clearly accepted that it would be a positive thing for the city). It stinks of a sense of nervousness that you constantly have to reassure yourself of the constitutional status of the region. Just keeping telling yourself that "Londonderry is in the UK, Londonderry is in the UK", and keep goading your Irish neighbours to reassert this fact so that you feel more comfortable, to put your unease to rest. But don't worry, Medro, the majority of people hailing from my own political niche accept that Derry is in the UK (although I may not really accept that it is truly a warranted 'city') - but to be sure there is still plenty of scope within strains of our ideology to some day change that fact - and in the mean time you are certainly free to keep reassuring yourself by reciting and goading out of others the current constitutional situation to ease that nervousness.
