Just read this in the Irish News. I had to laugh at the word "oppressed". Yes, because they know what it's like to be oppressed.

Who's oppressing them?
Is it the dole office?

I dont know which is worse - thinking it would be a good move to replace George Best with a UVF gunman - or using a Martin Luther King quote in the mural. MLK will be spinning

Actually, No Soloing, an MLK quote seems appropriate.

First, you have Martin Luther and then King (God and Country).  Of course, they could have picked George Orwell:  "All animals are equal, but Somme animals are more equal than others, so they are."

And isn't painting over George Best some class of sacrilege?

Maybe they are getting Martin Luther and Martin Luther King mixed up - or think that they are one and the same person - and think that they used a quote from the Reformation.

I'm just shocked they have all the words spelt correctly

All the talk of george Best been a hero in east belfast, his wanting of 1 ireland team always did rub the locals up the wrong way, East belfast must see the uvf as more heroes than best, painting over the mural, dont see anyone from the area or unionist politicians standing up and saying its a mistake to paint over this with another loyalist mural, no better an advert for the sydenham area been full of low life scum than the locals going back to what they know best between murals , flags, marches, oh this is the life!

What a ridiculous post.

Just as we had "nationalist" spides aping the Orangement with their marches and bonfires, now we have the other side aping the Republicans with an even more ridiculous mopery.

I'm sure a lot of people in East Belfast would prefer George Best, but you can't exactly go along to these painters and suggest they discuss it.

It is the UVF / UDA who put up the murals.  Do you think they hold some sort of local vote ffs?  As for your own comment about NI football fans, do you really think that they all condone violence / support loyalist paramilitaries?
