Well done Tom in illustrating those murals so well. I also watched with interest your appearance on BBC newsline, the article on the library on the Falls. You should also be applauded for your post as Lord Mayor of Belfast. Slainte
She might be a native of Eire, but many, many people are. But she (and i know im pre-judging) did not lose members of her family to state-violence, to loyalist death squads - or vice versa to the Provos, and did she live in a working-class area? Or did she grow up with a cotton wool up-bringing in a bubble and experienced ZILCH of the conflict/troubles? It depends where you grow up and your surroundings that shape you later in life.. i dont harbor grudges or "chips" i just wont forget the past.
@AaRoNwFoRd ya don't know what it's like living in a catholic area, the paramilitaries have very little say in our areas these days, i know it's not the same in protestant areas.
None of the murals commemorate the Continuity or Real IRA, they're mostly Provo murals, the Provo's have decommissioned. Your not from around here boy, are you?
@AaRoNwFoRd You don't get shot for writing on murals, this place isn't as wild as people think, it would be ignorant to comment on the situation unless you've lived in it. Yeahhhhhhhhh!! Boyyyyyyyyyyy!
@2491cc dont tell me what to do. if you have a problem you can ignore my posts and go away yourself. you can do and say what you want, NI is a time bomb waiting for the right spark.
@2491cc UHM. clearly our problem is easy to diagnose. I was correct in asserting that it is not a community. Obviously there is no in between. you are not part of that region. FYI, eng is doing the right thing, gradually removing themselves from the Country of Ire.
What community are you talking about? there isnt "a" community there, sorry. But is NI safer than the US? Yes, if you stay where you belong and keep quiet. But let things happen there and you will have ethinic warfare on the scales of rwanda or serbia.
Mate its hardly an "ugly history" and if you think the murals are "ugly" you need your eyes checked out, Your either a west-brit or some yuppie who has no political or cultural beliefs am i right? - And i dont mean that in an offensive way. I'm sorry stop swinging your bollix in peoples face because you want to move on, try living on one side of the many peace-walls here mate.. interface areas the like.. "Time to move on" go about 20-30 years into the future - sorry to burst your bubble.

I really enjoyed my trip to Belfast!
@2491cc Point taken. I happened to be in the Falls Road area and bumped into the Lord Mayor. We will be filming on the other side soon!

Cool video. Always nice to see a bit of Norn Iron.
THis was very educational and interesting though it kept stopping ! I don't know why, still this was very good, I liked it.
Very interesting tour by the Mayor there, he did a good factual tour and I enjoyed what he had to say.

My wife is a native of Eire I'll have you know, but she's not got a chip on her shoulder. Life's too short.

@2491cc ok. i enjoy my time with you. Yes, besides extremists, everyone else is cool.

That's 'the tree terrorists shot dead', don't try and water down what they were up to by calling them volunteers. .
