We've been coned

Some of the thousands of cones that proliferated in the vicinity of Stormont today but surely they were superfluous to requirement here, since it is an urban clearway and similarly the metal crowd control barriers, since there were no crowds. Full marks to the ingenious camera crew using a crane to get a bird's eye view of the proceedings.

East Belfast Murals

I took this video from the bus so please excuse the poor quality due to the bus acceleration. Just thought you might like to see a few more murals from East Belfast of slightly better artistic quality than the one here: Some of the murals are being replaced by something less politically or religiously sensitive but frankly I cannot see these murals ever being painted over.

This from The Guardian: "Paramilitary murals will be replaced under a government-funded scheme to redecorate Northern Ireland's gable ends and public spaces with more welcoming images."
