The statue of Edward Carson at Stormont taken a few years back.

Hi Phil,

Just thought I’d comment on this lovely photo. I used to live near here back in the late 90′s and this and a few of the other posts on your blog has brought back a few memories for me. I remember walking up to Stormont on the night the Agreement was signed with a mate of mine, thinking there would be a big celebratory crowd there, revelling in the dawning of a new era for Northern Ireland, and actually finding a load of scarry fat skinheads waving Union Jacks with pitbulls declaring the day to be the ultimate betratal of Ulster. We made our excuses and buggered off quick sharp.

Keep up the good work.

James.
