This entry updates A New Evil to show the addition of three tarps on the fence. These are an Ulster Banner, a ‘stop’ sign reading “Stop uncontrolled illegal mass immigration” on a Union Flag, and a “Concerned Parents Newtownabbey” banner reading “Stop uncontrolled migration – Illegal migrants not welcome – Protect our children”.

This entry provides an update to the images seen in Paddy Duffy’s collection under the title An Ideology Of Hate from the beginning of May, 2026. Compared to those images, the banner above – “Our brave soldiers didn’t die for this invasion – Send them home” – replaces the “Ulster Carrickfergus Loyalists” and “Unite and fight” banners.
The banner above is similar in theme and elements to the large board seen in Sorry It Was All For Nothing: an elderly veteran kneels beside grave-stones with red Christain crosses, in the presence of men carrying the flag of the Islamic Republic Of Pakistan. They are also both products of AI.
Second, “We are united as one & united we shall remain. Never surrender.” with the flags of the “four nations” that make up the current United Kingdom.
Third, Glen Quinn – see Remember Me.
Fourth, “Christ is king. Stand up to radical Islam. Islam is not a race – it’s an ideology of hate.” The language is echoed in the controversial board recently mounted at the bottom of Rathfern, in Newtownabbey – see A New Evil.
For “Ulster Carrickfergus Loyalists”, see No Illegal Immigrants in the Paddy Duffy collection.

“English Brigade Ulster Volunteer Force.” “England and Ulster – the ties that bind.” “United we stand.”
“Let our flag run out straight in the wind/The old red shall be floated again./When the ranks that are thin shall be thinned/When the names that were twenty are ten.” [from Swinburne’s A Song In Time Of Order which was also used as a socialist song]
On the left are the words from William Blake’s poem, which also serve as the lyrics to the hymn Jerusalem.
The images along the bottom illustrate the connection between Northern Ireland and England. From left to right: Edward Carson in Liverpool in 1912; 10,00 pledges from Liverpool men; Carson addressing 100,000 people in Hyde Park, London; a banner reading “City of London supports loyal Ulster”; “Field Marshall Sir Henry Wilson opens the Ulster Tower in 1921. Sir Henry was killed by the IRA in 1922 at his home in London”; GS Cather, VC winner with the Ulster Division; evacuees to Liverpool in 1973.

Part of the most recent development of the upper streets in the Village was not to rebuild the two rows of houses on Ebor and Nubia/Moltke streets and in their place construct a park – the Village Green, and now officially the “Ruby Murray Village Green” – and playground. The board on the outside railings make the park a “community park of remembrance” for WWI, showing an Ulster Banner with a Union Flag in the canton. (Seen previously in The Village Green Preservation Society.)
There is also a memorial to “loved ones and friends”, “volunteers, defenders & civilians” of the South Belfast UVF (though there is 36th (Ulster) Division emblem in the corner!) who were “cruely taken away from us by republican scum”: Dinah Campbell, Francis Campbell, Alexander Scott, Frankie Smith, Stevie McCrea, John Hanna, Sammy Mehaffy, William Kingsberry, Jackie Campbell, David Poots.

Castlemara residents’ various emotions are on display at the entrace to the estates: celebrating the jubilee of Elizabeth II, the coronation of Charles III, the creation of Northern Ireland in 1921, and Rangers’ 55th league title; saluting Tom Moore; commemorating Prince Philip, 1921-2021; and remembering with gratitude the “100th anniversary of the Battle Of The Somme”: “We must not forget what they gave so we may live. Let not their deaths be in vain. Lest we forget.”

There was previously a (painted) mural on this wall – see Passchendaele Court – but this latest display is a large printed board, with photographs blended together and framed by graveside mourners, poppies, and the emblems of the Pride Of Govan flute band and the Govan Somme Association (Fb), which also supported the previous mural.
To the left, as seen in the final images, is a smaller UVF (1st Battalion) A Company 5th Platoon board – like the other new board in the street We Will Always Be Ready (and on the other side of Conway Street – see When Needed We Shall Rise Again).
