Hopeful Belfast
at 12:20pm on Monday, 21st May 2007
I had the pleasure of going to Belfast last week for Thursday and Friday. What a great place to go at the moment. I can’t remember going anywhere with such a sense of optimism. I only met a small number of people but the impression i got was a city on the rise – people realistic but hopeful that they won’t go back to the conflicts of the past, lots of regeneration, a sense that the economy is on the up and a belief that people's lives are about to improve.
I came back feeling a lot better about the world – and more convinced than ever about power of politics, for good or ill. If you can find an excuse to go over there at the moment i'd recommend a visit.
