George Best's mural replaced

http://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2...n-east-belfast

George Best's image has been replaced by a paramilitary mural glorifying the Ulster Volunteer Force in his native east Belfast.

The replacement of the football icon by a painting of a UVF gunman is being seen as a regressive move during a year when the constituency became a focal point for loyalist street violence linked to the flag and parades disputes.

Sad to see.

the protestants oppressed ?

£#%&!ing hell, that revisionism at its best

Didn't know it was sponsored by a taxi firm tbf

Tell that to real minorities like the Nigerian lad who had his house firebombed the other week.

The mural doesn't actually say who the oppressor and the oppressed are btw.

True that's the Irish for you - history's scousers. Always the victims, presented as happy go lucky jolly up for the craic day toime.

Bit unfair that Sparky.

I think the Irish are going through a major image change. I mean, the old image of Leprechauns, Shamrocks, Guinness, horses running through council estates, toothless simpletons, people with eyebrows on their cheeks, badly tarmacced drives in this country, men in platform shoes being arrested for bombings, lots of rocks, and Beamish is long gone.
