This is the freshly-repainted UFF mural in Ballyduff (former version in purple). As the close-up shows, the figures are quite crudely drawn, with strange lips, elongated fingers, and amorphous limbs.

As its title suggests, this lower Shankill mural was originally painted in 2000, highlighting UDA prisoners specifically, before being repainted in 2008 in orange. But it has been sitting with damaged plaster in the bottom-left corner for two years or more.

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”.
