A hooded gunman welcomes you to “loyalist Sandy Row, heartland of South Belfast Ulster Freedom Fighters. Quis separabit.” The wording is perhaps an imitation of Free Derry Corner.

The same “fuck Rangers” graffitist who sprayed the Sandy Row UFF ‘wings’ mural also got to this mural. “In proud memory of our fallen comrades. We forget them not – at the going down of the sun and in the morning we will remember them.”

In 1690, William III defeated James II at the Battle Of The Boyne, securing Ireland for England. And in legend, Ulster was won in a race by an O’Neill tossing his severed hand ahead of his competitor. Similar battle is needed to preserve Northern Ireland, the mural suggests. “Quis separabit” is the motto of the UDA, and “Terrae filius” (“Son of the land”) is the motto of the Ulster Young Militants, its youth branch. Lord Street, Belfast.
