Release The Political Hostages
“We have achieved peace, we have maintained peace – now stop the injustice: release our political hostages.” “Dedicated to Mark Rice”, a Tullycarnet resident who was jailed for 20 years for possession of an assault rifle used in the attack on Sean Graham bookmakers on the Ormeau Road in February 1992 (Relatives For Justice). To the left of centre, a red fist smashes through an Irish tricolour; a tricolour is also worn by the volunteer in the crosshairs.

Loyalist Eden
The village of Eden is being absorbed by an expanding Carrickfergus, famous for the castle shown in the UDA board in the first image. King William’s True Blues flute band (KWTB) amalgamated with the South East Antrim Defenders. Sources are few but it seems that SEA Defenders disbanded in 2007 but was re-established in 2010. (See previously 2004.)

Nelson Drive Wombles
The UDA are known as “the wombles” because the fur-trimmed parkas they worn in the early days made them look like the television characters (here is season 1, episode 1).
