  • With the words 'We will never accept a united Ireland' and another quote 'For God and Ulster' we see a detail of a political painting in a street off the Shankhill Road in Belfast, Northern Ireland. This Loyalist mural may have been drawn by a paramilitary artist, whose handiwork is the crest of the protestant Ulster Defence Association (UDA) and the Ulster Volunteer Force (UVF) the organisations behind many a sectarian action against neighbouring catholic supporters of the Irish republican Army (IRA). In loyalist areas, the red, white and blue of the British Union Jack is painted on kerbs, houses and railings to signify peoples' allegiance to the crown, having historically followed the 17th century activities of King William of Orange against Catholics..

  • On a brick wall is a painted red hand that grips an Armalite automatic weapon which has been painted on to a street wall of a house off the protestant Shankhill Road in Belfast, Northern Ireland. The red hand is actually better-known as The Red Hand Defenders (RHD),  a Northern Irish paramilitary group formed in 1998 and composed largely of Protestant hardliners from loyalist groups observing a cease-fire. It is composed of members of the Ulster Defence Association (largely those who once belonged to the now disbanded 2nd Battalion, C Company) and Loyalist Volunteer Force, most of whom are still part of the latter organisation.

  • Using the Latin motto 'Quis Separabit' meaning 'Who shall separate us?' we see a detail of a political painting in a street off the Shankhill Road in Belfast, Northern Ireland. This Loyalist mural may have been drawn by a paramilitary artist, whose handiwork is the crest of the protestant Ulster Defence Association (UDA), the organisation behind many a sectarian action against neighbouring catholic supporters of the Irish republican Army (IRA).

  • With hands in their pockets and walking in step, three friends pass along a street off the Shankhill Road in Belfast, Northern Ireland, have just passed beneath a Loyalist mural drawn by a paramilitary artist, whose handiwork is based on a well-known representation of a kneeling gunman shouldering a rocket-propelled grenade (RPG) and aiming past the crest of the protestant Ulster Defence Association (UDA), the organisation behind many a sectarian action against neighbouring catholic supporters of the Irish republican Army (IRA). In loyalist areas, the red, white and blue of the British Union Jack is painted on kerbs, houses and railings to signify peoples' allegiance to the crown, having historically followed the 17th century activities of King William of Orange against Catholics.   .

  • Sitting on garden seats, a seaside couple enjoy ice creams near broken building materials in the resort of Sandown. A decaying pile of rubble and building bricks have been left on the ground where visitors and tourists sit on their holiday making for a grim and depressing experience and dystopic landscape. This is the seaside resort of Sandown on the Isle of Wight, twinned (jumelée in French) with the town of Tonnay-Charente, in the western French département of Charente-Maritime. Its American twin town is St. Pete Beach, Florida.
