I initially thought the Strabane Town of Culture bid was a good idea.
Unfortunately, Strabane people have been antagonised by an opaque process, the exclusion of some elected reps, & by being asked to jump through hoops by the British state, for investment that's needed anyway.
Strabaneās Town of Culture bid dividing community as opposition to āUK stampā leads to protest

It's fair to say >90% of people in Strabane town vote nationalist/republican.
Most would describe Strabane as 'under British rule' - as in, ruled by another country.
They don't consider that they are 'part of the UK', as if the British state treats them as equals. It doesn't.

Carla Lockhart: *buys a bag of Haribos*
The jelly babies:
šNEW: @duponline MP @carlalockhart takes to social media to show her snack selection for the flight...
I fell short on two aspects here.
1. Unionism is incapable of claiming any kind of win and being satisfied with it - it is always on the back foot.
2. Unionist politicians have since been reminded of their own lawbreaking anyway and have been forced to pivot.
Hard to see what this remark from Wilson achieves.
If he's wrong and Lockhart quits the DUP, this ages very poorly.
If he's right, he's told Lockhart's base here she's made a nothing gesture... which surely pressures her to put even more distance between her and DUP leadership.
Scott Moore retweeted
It's weird how saying "don't touch children against their will" is so offensive to so SO many people...
Carla Lockhart opposed peace for Garvaghy Rd residents.
Carla Lockhart opposes harm reduction drug policy which saves lives.
Carla Lockhart opposes puberty blockers which stop suicide.
Carla Lockhart protested a march against genocide.
Carla Lockhart's politics kills people.
It's worth remembering there are people who look at the Democratic Unionist Party, of all things, and genuinely think to themselves "what a bunch of woke liberals".
DUP MP Carla Lockhart has quit her position as a party officer. The Upper Bann politicianās resignation could be the start of a chain of events leading to her resignation from the DUP.

Didn't realise that it was a *rape crisis centre* which folk were having a go at.
All for the crime of telling people not to hug people who do not want to be hugged.
The "anti-woke" brigade are really outraged at rape crisis centres now?
The Dublin Rape Crisis Centre has taken down three online video advertisements related to its 'We Consent' campaign, following criticism of one advert in particular rte.ie/news/2026/1022/159643ā¦
If your relative wants you to give them a hug, you can give them a hug.
If your relative doesn't want you to give them a hug, don't give them a hug.
If you insist on hugging your relative who doesn't want to be hugged, you are a creep.
Hope this helps!
Whereas being a GB News journalist must be hard, backbreaking work Tom.
You head down to the pub and coal miners buy you pints, I'm sure.
The whole situation with Drumcree could have been totally avoided had the Vienna Academy of Fine Arts not rejected Carla Lockhart all those years ago.
I saw a Facebook post from Belfast Live about how 40 primary school kids from Harryville, Ballymena had never been able to return there after racist rioting.
And the comment section would not have looked out of place at a Nazi rally.
You'll see a Facebook page post about hoarding asylum seekers into gas chambers 'or else they'll slaughter us all'
And then you check the name of the page and it's like
