My friend from Belfast says pretty much every sign that leads to londonderry, someone scores out the london, then someone else scores out the derry. Quite a few people call it "Stroke city"

Indeed it is indicative of underlying social problems; but im not sure how religious and sexual orientation divides are not so similar?
By balance; (which might not have been the right word) the way i see things is.. imagine 2d graph with loads of points plotted on it... then draw a line of best fit. Consider that "policy". And then consider the slightly extreme / almost wayward points as "controllers" rather than anomalies.
Im going to stop now because im going to confuse myself but do you understand what im saying
