Bonfire break-dancers and bouquet-throwing rioters outside the Woodbourne PSNI station, as well as a lambeg drum side-by-side with a bodhrán and “Only God can judge me”, here used (probably) as an anti-suicide message rather than as an excuse to take the law into one’s own hands.

The images above and below show a new UDA mural in memory of John Gregg, “The Reaper”, who waged a campaign of terror against Catholics in south-east Antrim and was reputedly associated with British neo-Nazi groups. Gregg was gunned down in 2003, while returning from a Rangers match, as part of the power struggle with Johnny Adair. Watta-Chip (from the previous mural) has been replaced by Turkish Kebabs (Fb).
