Hand-painted “BRY” [Bogside Republican Youth], “No RUC” and “Support our POWs” boards but also computer-designed and -printed stickers in the Bogside, Derry. The boards are probably local productions, while the stickers probably come from the same German store responsible for the anti-fascist, “Irish republican solidarity” and “Good night, loyalist pride” stickers (see Northern Ireland World). The Facebook sticker is presumably for the store or for antifa; as far as we know, BRY has never had a Facebook page or internet presence; the web address “www.irishrepublicansolidarity.info/” is defunct.

RIP Dolours Price

2013-03-262024-12-11Extramural ActivityLeave a comment

Dolours Price died on January 23rd, in Malahide, apparently from an overdose or adverse mixture of medications. Price had served seven years of a twenty-year sentence for the 1973 car bombing of the Old Bailey in London, during which she went on hunger strike and was force fed (WP). She was the sister of Marian Price; both were IRA volunteers. See previously (from 1974): Bring Home The Winchester 8.

“Easter Sunday commemoration march – assemble 2.00 PM Westland Street. Tírghrá [commemoration committee].” The same boards were used in 2011, but the start time was 2:30 (M06631).

The rear of Free Derry Corner has its own Visual History page.

Two Snakes Too Many

2013-03-262025-02-24Extramural ActivityLeave a comment

“End internment”. St Patrick is supposed to have driven all of the snakes out of Ireland, but the work is never done. The “snakes” in question are Theresa Villiers (minister for Northern Ireland in the current Conservative government) and David Ford, leader of the Alliance Party and minister for Justice in Stormont. The issue in question is (probably) the denial of compassionate parole for Marian Price (Oireachtas); “Prisons Crisis Group” published a pamphlet ‘Free Marian Price’ (Socialist Worker).

Matt Baggott RIP

2013-03-012025-02-24Extramural ActivityLeave a comment

PSNI Chief Constable Matt Baggott (here “Baggot”, with only one “T”) in January announced that he would retire from the force in September of this year (2014), after heading the organisation for five years (Guardian). He, and the PSNI generally, will not be missed in Bray Street (first three) and Rathlin Street (final four), Woodvale, west Belfast.

(Update: The date was moved up – Baggott quit at the end of June. BBC)

“PSNI stay out”, “PSNI no go zone”, “PSNI keep out!!!”, “Fuck the Pope”, “PSNI targets”, “KAT”

BRY Rule

2012-10-042025-03-06Extramural ActivityLeave a comment

“BRAG” is “Bogside Republican Action Group” and “BRY” is “Bogside Republican Youth”; the rest of the writing seems to be initials/signatures. See previously: BRY Petrol Bombers. (The petrol bomb was long ago a symbol of Ógra Shınn Féın (J2182).)

Lenadoon Women In Struggle

2012-10-032025-03-06Extramural ActivityLeave a comment

“Strong is what we make each other until we are strong together.” Women in struggle, (clockwise) banging binlids, undergoing strip searches, protesting internment, victims of plastic bullets (Julie Livingstone), fighting in Cumann Na mBan. On the right are the astrological symbol for woman and the republican symbol of “Saoırse” with the green star and fist.

Five small éirígí (web) pieces of graffiti and stenciling from Creeslough Park (at the corner with Lenadoon Avenue), Belfast. The stencils are of James Connolly (“We defy you! Do your worst!”) and the 3-in-1 figure combining police (“RUC-PSNI – different name, same aim”), Orange Order, and paramilitary.
