Four images of graffiti in Manor Street, Belfast, beginning with an encomium to Michael Stone, the UDA volunteer who (in 1988) had killed three mourners at the funerals of the IRA’s Gibraltar Three. The last two images show that Manor Street is cut in two, with a Protestant area to the south and a Catholic area to the north.

The fence in the second image is now a wall. “UFF” “UDA” “YCV” “UYM” “SSRUC” “Black bastards” “Kill all cops” “RUC keep out”

Here are four images of a variety of slogans on the Falls Road. The first lists various resistance groups from around the world: IRA, PLO, ETA, ANC. The second has a phone number for “SAS strippers” and something about “One Brit and his dog”. In the third and fourth: “Óglaıgh na hÉıreann”, “Provisional IRA”, “Tıocfaıdh ár lá”, “RUC black bastards”.

The Sınn Féın lettering writ large in Creggan Heights, Derry (with the island of Ireland as a background, though this cannot be seen in the image above). The image below gives a much better sense of what the mural looked like under ordinary lighting.

See also All-Ireland Army, which was at the far end of this block of houses, at the junction with Linsfort Drive,
