Ah, I left Belfast in summer
1997. That Giros / Warzone scene was so formative. I came from Larne and all of a sudden I was exposed to not only new ideas but this entirely different way of doing things.

I was involved in / adjacent to the hardcore scene in Belfast around 1992 to 1996 and that scene changed my life.

Genuinely incredible. I queued for _that_ exhibit for about 30 mins and it was amazing, something I think about often. And the view from the museum cafe terrace!

Same! I kind of wish they hadn’t come back for an encore as it was (for me) a perfect ending to an incredible performance

The comments section on that FT piece is, predictably, an absolute sewer of pro “Elon” types and Islamophobia. Sort it out please. And describing the named Twitter accounts as “right leaning” or “conservative leaning” is curious given their output.
