“Supergrass trials amount to a more sophisticated form of internment. Failed 1980, again 2007, doomed 2010.” In 2010 there were one | two trials involving UVF grasses, the latter involving Ian Stewart from Ballyearl Crescent.

The mural to UDA assassin Stevie ‘Top Gun’ McKeag is again (or, still?) in progress. Compared to the 2009 version (itself incomplete) the poppies around the portrait have lost their leaves (perhaps due to a new background colour) and his dates of birth and death have been turned into a Union Flag and Ulster Banner. See also 2008 and 2007.

This “C company, 1st Belfast battalion, Ulster Volunteer Force roll of honour” in Carnan Street, Belfast, uses WWI (USSF insignia, an image of soldiers on the battlefield, poppies, and a verse from In Flanders Fields) to commemorate 25 volunteers from the middle Shankill area. (For the first five, see also the plaque across the street.) The “Four Step” was a pub bombed in 1971 (see X02393).
Replaces the Greengairs Thistle FB mural – the band’s insignia is in the top right.
