“Open gates. Open borders. Open season. Your sheep. Their feast.” Politicians from Sınn Féın, the SDLP, Alliance, and People Before Profit are shown opening the gates for masked and armed men who are coming from the sea and bidding them to enter a sheepfold of “our constituents”.
The PSNI are investigating the banner as a “hate incident” (rather than a “hate crime” – see A New Evil for the difference) (BelTel). The banner was later (July 1st) removed and replaced with Union Flags and an Ulster Banner (Belfast Media | News Letter).
Shore Road, north Belfast
Update, July 3rd: the banner has been restored – see the Seosamh Mac Coılle collection.

This is the new mural to Sister Clare Crockett, replacing the previous mural seen in All Or Nothing!! The new mural was dedicated on April 16th, on the tenth anniversary of her death, and a mass was said in the nearby Long Tower church (Derry Diocese | Derry Journal).
Crockett was born in Derry in 1982 and died in Ecuador in 2016. This mural does not have the information board (and “Sister Clare’s Prayer”) that the previous one did; for information, see the previous mural or the other Sister Clare mural, in Shantallow.
Painted by UV Arts (specifically Ray Bonner) (web) in Deanery Street, Brandywell, Derry.
