Oliver Cromwell mural

Here is a Unionist/Loyalist Mural celebrating the Oliver Cromwell's

men moving into Ireland. They massacred Irish Catholics in an effort

to conquer the Island. You can read in the left hand text panel:

"Catholicism is more than a religion. It is a Political Power

therefore I'm led to believe there will be no peace in Ireland until

the Catholic Church is Crushed", in the right hand text panel: "Our

Clergy persecuted and our protestant churches desecrated also our

protestant people slaughtered in their thousands" and surrounding the

portrait of Cromwell: "Lieutenant General Lord Protector of the

Protestant Faith".

We have seen this graffiti last holidays. The whole Belfast looked depressing for us. May be because of these wall paintings and their surroundings. Long lasting hatred can be seen everywhere. Very sad...

Very sad inded... Hatred is nowadays all around us an we don't need to go to Belfast to suffer and smell it, unfortunately...
