Broadway Defenders

Extramural ActivityLeave a comment

“Broadway Defenders” was originally the name of LOL 824, which was based in what is now An Cultúrlann but was formerly Broadway Presbyterian church. (LOL 824 was included on the mural on the hoarding around Cultúrlann while it was be redeveloped – see the close-up below and for more see M06462.) But the graffiti above is probably from a CNR hand, given its location and the adjacent “KAH” (and previously “Erin Go Brach“) graffiti.

Boycott

“Boycott Assrealy [Israeli] goods. Not so sexy now.” This graffito perhaps belongs to 2008 (see also Anti-Israel) but has recently been revealed by the removal of some Blackie Centre boards (Street View).

Beechmount Avenue, west Belfast.

Saor Uladh member Liam Hannaway went on hunger strike in protest at being held in a Special Supervision Unit at Maghaberry prison rather than with other republican prisoners. He ended his fast when he was moved to a hospital ward after 42 days. For more see RN | BBC-NI.

This is all that remains of a “Join SFY [Sınn Féın Youth]” (top) and “Vote SF” (bottom) wall in Berwick Road, Ardoyne.

For the original boards (a molotov cocktail, 3-in-1 RUC man, and green ribbon), see C01373.

Forget The Past

Extramural ActivityLeave a comment

“HET” was the “Historical Enquiries Team”, investigating unsolved killings from the Troubles. It lasted from 2005 to 2014 (WP). The graffiti in these images from Mount Vernon and the Shore Road, are perhaps specifically in connection with the investigation into the UVF unit in the area (BelTel) and the murder of Jim Harbinson (BelTel). “Forget the past – peace was delivered”, “HET go home”, “Gerry Adams ya peado [sic] – root da kids”.
