We Deliver British Rule

Extramural 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”.

Stormont Facilitates Internment

Extramural ActivityLeave a comment

“Died before surrender – 5th May – 20th August 1981. 30th anniversary. Erected by Newry Independent Republican 1981 Committee.”

“Stormont facilitates internment” replaces “End Israeli terror in Palestine” on top of the hunger striker commemoration board (erected in 2011) at the junction of Camlough and Carnagat roads at Derrybeg.

Secundus Ad Nullam

Extramural ActivityLeave a comment

Boards of the Rising Sons Of The Valley (Fb), Mourne Young Defenders (Fb), and Pride Of Ballinran (Fb) flute bands in Kilkeel, County Down.

The left part of the RSV board shows the numeral “II” on a “1912” Ulster Volunteers flag. The 2nd County Down battalion of the 1912 Ulster Volunteers became (in 1914) the 16th RIR, the pioneer (engineering) battalion for the 36th Division (Long Long Trail).

The motto on the Ballinran board is “Secundus ad nullam”, which is a word-for-word mis-translation of “second to none”; properly it would simply be “nulli secundus”.

“Justice for the Craigavon 2” – this is the second piece in the Peter Moloney Collection about the campaign to release Brendan McConville and John Paul Wootton, the pair convicted for their part in the 2009 killing of Stephen Carroll (BBC) – the first was a piece of graffiti in Ardoyne in 2013.

The piece features (left) Colin Duffy, who was arrested in November 2012 in connection with the murder of David Black (BBC | WP), and (right) Marian Price (WP) who was released on May 2013 after two years in prison.

This stencil in the New Lodge (Queen’s Parade) replaced the previously graffiti-ed version of the same message in 2012.
