Speaking In Code

03244 2016-01-02 UDA Q-S RSD+

Three images of initialisms: Above in Milner Street, “UVF” [Ulster Volunteer Force] has been painted over but “UDA” [Ulster Defence Association], “Q/S” [quis separabit], and “RSD” [Roden Street Defenders] remain.

In the second image, in Beechmount Grove, we have “CRF” [Catholic Reaction Force?], “UTH” [Up the hoods], “FTDHLA”, [Eff the Divis Hoods Liberation Army”, FTW” [Free the weed?], “FTONH” [Eff the Óglaıgh Na hÉıreann]

The last (in Percy St) is left as an exercise for the reader. (Or: we have no idea what “code 5” is.)
