Belfast's Murals

These commenting on collusion victims, on the one hand, and the victims of I.R.A. bombing, on the other..the last one says it all.

...dunno, if the writers of the last one meant (most of) the current crop of politicans then that would be something positive. As it is, what they were trying to say was "fuck politics in general, fuck thinking politically, fuck organising ourselves, fuck trying". Since it's coming from the politically brainless UFF, that's more likely.

Pity. If it was a statement of opposition to politics as usual it would be hopeful, as it is it's just a nihilistic howl of self destructive rage.

How appropriate, given where Semtex comes from. The wordl really needs a study like this, don't they?

- huh what has it got to do with the UFF?? There was a 'Ulster Says No' graffiti, above a UFF mural and someone went and stuck in 'To the Politicans', changing the meaning of 'Ulster Says No'.

I noticed that the detail on some of the pictures of the murals isn't very clear. If you have higher quality pictures, could you email them to me and I (as an editor) can post larger (higher quality) images to the site.

It would be good for the indymedia.ie site to have as comprehensive a collection of street art from the North - and other parts of Ireland - as we have of Dublin street art and graffiti (as regularly published by noise hacker).
