Re: Belfast murals

Bill rolston of Coleraine University edited a couple of interesting photobooks about murals from the 80s; bit odd to see such intensely heartfelt political messages reduced to glossy, coffee table conversational aretfacts for the chattering classes.

Worst mural I ever saw was in a place called Macosquin on way towards Limavady from Coleraine, post 1985 Anglo Irish agreement; UVF shield with "You Have Betrayed the People of Ulster, Margaret THATHER" underneath it.

Dyslexic prods rool KO?
