@GreenPartyNI Cllr for Lisnasharragh in Belfast City Council. In it to build a cleaner, greener more peaceful city. @Briansmyth99.bsky.social
Belfast, Northern Ireland
Joined March 2009
As thousands of people come into Belfast City Centre to celebrate St Patrick's Day, one of its most important & historic buildings lies left to rot by the failure of private developers. It's time for Assembly Rooms to come into public ownership & save it for future generations.

Rest in peace Ozzy, what a rock n roll legacy. It's a testament to modern medicine he got to 76, with the mayhem he got up to for decades.

I wonder which of our basic rights she wants to take away from us? Dragging us out of the ECHR and tearing up the GFA, will make a border poll a certainty. Maybe that's what the little Englanders wants. Political Unionism needs not to make the same mistake it did with Brexit.
Most of us understand why we need to leave the ECHR. Let’s start talking about HOW we do it. My plan goes live at 10am today. Read an exclusive preview in today’s @Telegraph 👇.

Only took 43 days, which is fairly fast for this basket case of a football club. 3 in, another 3 needed. Easier said than done.

Older man rages against young people being allowed to vote. Many young people are engaged, switched on and aware of the world around them. They'll be left to deal with a planet on fire and inherit huge global problems long after the boomer generation has passed away.

Really concerned if this is the thinking. Asking fans to stump up a large amount for a 15 year season ticket, will further exclude working class fans. 40% of the overall capacity as corporate is also grim. The Americanisation of the EPL is turning it into tourists only.
A few weeks ago, United invited supporters to apply to take part in discussions about the proposed new stadium. This week, those sessions were held with the selected participants — and some interesting details have started to emerge. It seems attendance at the sessions was quite.

Now that 16/17 year olds will be allowed to vote, watch the self serving, vested interest Stormont Executive parties & opposition, talk up their environmental credentials to try to sway young voters. Remember these are the same useless tubes who have killed Lough Neagh.

Fantastic to see 16/17 year olds being allowed to vote. Yet there is still so much to do. The House of Lords should be abolished & first past the post replaced with Proportional Representation. The 2 party state in the UK has killed ideas, vision and ambition at Westminster.
As usual, Labour are tinkering at the edges. While giving 16 year olds the vote is a positive step in the right direction, it doesn’t go nearly far enough. The whole system needs upending and we should start with abolishing the Lords and instituting PR.

Threatened by children playing different sports together. The fear and loathing is ridiculous and shameful.

Whilst other regions in the UK are supporting households make a transition to cleaner cheaper energy, the Stormont Executive twiddles its thumbs and does nothing. No ambition, vision or ideas. Just deflection politics whilst more families sink into poverty.
BBC Technology have been to visit the Octopus heat pump factory. It comes with a punchline.
