The DUP has been slinging mud all day and questioning others.
The Education Dept changed its website since this morning as it showed major works are those in excess of £500k - now no figure.
EA has retracted a blatant falsehood about the pitch being out of action for 6 years.

This funding is treating Derry as if it's basically on a par with small towns.
That wouldn't be as bad if Stormont delivered the big-picture items: infrastructure; university expansion; decentralisation of decision-making.
But it hasn't, therefore, this is tinkering.

Move up to further and higher education.
Derry is utterly failed!
Derry is the only city of its size this islands without a proper university - that is one with at least 20,000 students.
But here Belfast gets 83% of uni students. Doesn't happen anywhere else.

If UU can't stand firm on a photo of people wearing GAA jerseys, what are they going to do when the momentum inevitably builds, AGAIN, to deny university expansion in Derry?

The data makes for stark reading:
96% of ammonia and nitrogen deposition comes from agriculture.
Highest pollution levels in UK.
Every habitat from bogs and coastal waters, to grasslands and woodlands badly damaged.
Every species declining - 11% under threat of extinction.

Happy New Year to the real ones 🙂.
As I use social media mainly for work I'd like to thank the sound people who have taken the time to share a story or interact with me on here. I genuinely value and appreciate it.
Let's strive for a 2025 where all lives are valued equally.

Both banks of the Foyle are twinkling.
A very Derry Christmas 🎄
Like the new anti-theft measure on the Guildhall tree. Don't even think about yoinking a bauble after a night out this year, it ain't happening.

A number of MPs, including @zarahsultana.bsky.social , and campaigners have called for a ban on the sale of F-35 parts as they say the jets are being used in an 'extermination campaign'.
