We in Ulster will tolerate no Sinn Fein but will give you that of knowing
that ... your eyes upon us, separatists would be paralyzed to pass the
machinations of Sinn Fein, and as your troops are withdrawn we
will take the matter into our own hands. – Sir Edward Carson 1912.
This quote is attributed to Sir Edward Carson, a prominent unionist figure associated with the UVF’s origins during the early 20th century, emphasising a stance against Irish nationalism.
Additional Details:
There is a plaque in the center of the mural with additional UVF symbols or commemorative text, which may add historical context or memorialise specific events or individuals.
Various smaller symbols and emblems, including a shamrock design on the left with initials and symbols, might represent specific factions or commemorative details relevant to loyalist communities.
Theme and Context:
This mural reflects a strong message of loyalty to the UVF and unionist heritage, commemorating the organization’s origins and anti-nationalist sentiments. The figures, armed stance, and historical references create a visual narrative of defiance and remembrance within a loyalist context.
