We Deliver British Rule

2014-04-232024-10-04Extramural ActivityLeave a comment

Here is a gallery of anti-Agreement stencils and hand-painted boards in Newry. The primary concern is the treatment of prisoners in Maghaberry and elsewhere – “Republicans against internment”, “Stop the strip searches in Maghaberry”, “Smash Maghaberry”, “End British torture in Maghaberry”, “Restore political status” – followed by anger at Sınn Féın for its collusion with the organs of Westminster – “Sinn Féin – we deliver British rule” and “Provo puppets still administering British rule”.

“Nor meekly serve my time” (in red on the right) is from Francie Brolly’s ‘The H-Block Song’ (youtube) and the “H” at the centre of “Maghaberry” has been painted in red.

Release The Duffy 3

2013-08-262025-01-10Extramural ActivityLeave a comment

This board on Rossville Street, Derry, originally named only “Colin Duffy”. It was then modified for Marian Price and again for Martin Corey. It now reads “End internment by remand and release the Duffy 3 now!” The “Duffy 3” are Colin’s brothers Paul and Damien and cousin Shane, who are charged with collecting information of use to terrorists (BelTel).

“Release Martin Corey, political prisoner. End internment now” with an unusual use of a dove rather than a lark. For background, see Release Martin Corey. With various other anti-Agreement graffiti and stencils in the area, including a “Join RSF [Republican Sınn Féın] – Éıre Nua” stencil, “SF” in a cross-hairs, and a “CIRA” “RIRA” cross-word.

End British Internment!

2013-08-152024-09-30Extramural ActivityLeave a comment

“End British internment! Maghaberry. End forced strip searching! End controlled movement!” The high-security prison holds 1,000 prisoners and segregates loyalists and republicans, a situation described as “a festering sore” in a recent inspection (Tele). Republicans say that the current crisis overlooks existing issues such as controlled movement and strip searches.

Republican Ardoyne

Here is a gallery of minor pieces from Ardoyne:

“Join RSF [Republican Sinn Féin] – Éire Nua” in Estoril Park
“Free Marian Price” in Flax Street
“Repatriate Michael Campbell – bring him home” in Ardoyne Avenue (BBC)
“No sectarian parade 100%” in Jamaica Road (WP)
“Ha ha Thatcher – IRA” in Havana Court

[…] Dead We Lie – the plaque to Boyle and Somerville remains as before (it was originally mounted in 2005) but…

[…] Korean War 1950-1953, Northern Ireland 1969-2007, Falklands War 1982 (the photo on the right is of troops “yomping”), Iraq…

[…] The board was previously on the rear of Free Derry Corner. […]

[…] is a 2007? repainting of a lower Shankill mural placing Ulster Freedom Fighters/Ulster Defence Association (UFF/UDA) within the historical context […]

Thanks, Jon – the correction has been made
