Fountain Bonfire

Purloined pieces decorating this year’s Relief Of Derry bonfire in the Fountain: a hand-painted “Free Marian Price now!” board, a 32CSM flag, and (flying) flags of Che Guevara on a Tricolour, the IRSP, and a Starry Plough, as well as tricolours, an FAI flag, and an … Argentinian? flag.

Free Marian Price Now!

“End internment – Free Marian Price”. August 2012 and Marian Price has been moved from Maghaberry to Hydebank (in February – BBC) and the charges against her for her part in the 2011 Easter Rising commemoration in Derry have been dropped (in May – BBC).

On the flats and in Queen’s Parade, New Lodge, north Belfast.

We Won’t Bend The Knee

Here are three republican boards, framed: on the left, “Belfast Brigade ONH”; above right, “Until all are free we are all imprisoned – support all republican POWs – RNU (Fb)/Cogús (Fb); below right, the deceased 1981 hunger strikers. The lettering on the left reads “Join the Republican Network For Unity”, and below everything there is a Bobby Sands quote: “We all know the reason that we are being tortured – because we are political dissidents, POWs, and we won’t bend the knee or conform” (from Thoughts From The Shadows).

For What Suffer Our Patriots Today?

Two piece of graffiti along Central Drive, Creggan, Derry. The first – painted by the anti-Agreement group ONH/Óglaıgh Na hÉıreann – is of the closing words of Pearse’s oration at the funeral of O’Donovan Rossa on August 1st, 1915: “Ireland unfree shall never be at peace”; the second is from Luke Kelly’s poem For What Died The Sons Of Róısín?
