It is so sad on the 21st Anniversary of the Good Friday Agreement (or indeed any day or night) that an innocent bystander, Lyra McKee was murdered by the New IRA in Derry.
Can we remember her, and try to reduce the vile rhetoric that seems to exist in society today.
People’s life’s matter, more than politics. |

I was staying in the Stormont Hotel opposite Stormont itself on the night they signed the agreement. The staff were delighted, plenty of people buying drinks that night a real party atmosphere. Just like you Op I truly hope that same amount of optimism I witnessed that night remains, the sad death of this very talented journalist certainly adds a more pessimistic view currently.
RIP Lyra McKee, a real loss to the country and journalism. |

"This thread has only 3 posts because they would rather talk about the knob above..... Fact
Can you explaine please, bit confused  "
Because most forumites are too self absorbed to think of anything other than who’s looking at them.
We used to have decent discussions on here. Now we specialise in the vapid. |

I get your point, sadly we remember how awful it was during the ‘troubles’, clearly if you were in Northern Ireland it was worse, but it affected the rest of us as well. We need to protect the GFA and stop senseless killings - it is so sad  |

Sadly it doesn’t seem to be that obvious, peace is more fragile than we think... |
