Four images of graffiti in Manor Street, Belfast, beginning with an encomium to Michael Stone, the UDA volunteer who (in 1988) had killed three mourners at the funerals of the IRA’s Gibraltar Three. The last two images show that Manor Street is cut in two, with a Protestant area to the south and a Catholic area to the north.
The fence in the second image is now a wall. “UFF” “UDA” “YCV” “UYM” “SSRUC” “Black bastards” “Kill all cops” “RUC keep out”
