Resistance Becomes Duty

“When injustice becomes law, resistance becomes duty.” This is the sole surviving board from a number that were mounted at the height of the “Irish Sea Border” dispute. As can be seen in Street View, there was originally a “No Irish Sea Border” banner (similar to one in Dungannon) underneath this UVF board, a Union Flag board to the right, and three small boards on the railings: We Will Continue The Fight and Time To Decide (also seen in Moygashel) and We Will Defend Our Birthright (as seen in poster form in Belfast).

A very similar UVF “hooded gunman” board, in vertical format, appeared in Moygashel – see If Our Shores Are Threatened.
