To Protect And Serve

“To protect partition! And to serve capitalism!” The Royal Ulster Constabulary, Police Service of ‘Northern Ireland’, and An Garda Síochána are branded as agents of the status quo, enforcing the partition of Ireland and the capitalist system. “Know your enemy – reject political policing”.

Don’t Mourn – Organise!

Joe Hill was executed by firing squad on November 19th, 1915, at the age of 36, convicted of shooting a father and son in Utah. Before his death, he sent a telegram to Big Bill Haywood, founder-member of the IWW, saying “Don’t waste any time mourning. Organize!” (WP) The centenary of his death was marked by graffiti on Free Derry Corner.

On the back of the wall is an RNU (Fb) board showing a prisoner behind bars, a victim of internment: “End internment and Britain’s torture of Irish POWs”.

On the buttresses are IRPWA flyers: “End controlled movement now!”, “End forced isolation”, “End the brutality of republican prisoners”, “Stop the brutal & degrading strip searches”, “End the brutality in Maghaberry”, “www.irpwa.com‘.
