  1. My question here is, why do the two volunteers appear to be wearing blackface?

  2. “Irish Republicans rightfully outraged at British state murders of innocent civilians for expressing their dissent against the government somehow big fans of Muammar Gaddafi”

  3. Republicans and their flegs. Cartoon drawing them and everything. They’re obsessed

  4. Was this modelled on him from his meeting with Tony Blair in the tent when the British government were intent on legitimising him?

  5. I would like to see a mural with Josef Stalin…just saying.

  6. Changed my mind again, maybe a mural of Dodi Fayed…in memory

  7. Looking back, it’s almost unbelievable how much Colonel Gaddafi showered on the IRA. We’re not talking about a few dodgy suitcases through customs – we’re talking about alleged shiploads. Money by the millions, and tonnes of arms: rifles, heavy machine guns, rocket launchers, and, most devastating of all, Semtex. That sticky little block of death became their calling card, thanks to the Colonel playing daddy death from Tripoli.

    The bombs that ripped through town centres, pubs, shopping streets – they weren’t made in Belfast back rooms. They were gift-wrapped in Libya, flown in under Gaddafi’s blessing, and pressed into service against ordinary men, women and children. The IRA became Europe’s most lavishly armed terror outfit not by accident but because a dictator with delusions of grandeur thought funding “the cause” gave him revolutionary chic.

    And then, when the victims tried to claw back some measure of justice decades later, dragging their case through the courts, they found the door slammed. By Tony Blair, no less – ever the star pupil who’ll do his homework for the wrong side if it means another photo-op. He and his cronies managed to smooth the way for a fat American payout while British victims were quietly cut adrift.

    So yes, Gaddafi bankrolled the bullets and the Semtex that tore through our towns – but the final insult was closer to home – being told by their own government that their suffering was, essentially, inconvenient.

    It’s no surprise those adjacent to that organization splattered a gable wall with a ghoulish mural of his likeness, given he threw so much blood money at them – extorted and stolen from a captive population he abused and terrorised. Funny how a particular organisation has such a knack for sucking at the teat of the world’s most grotesquely totalitarian and tyrannical regimes.

  8. They need to do one of his final moments as a reminder to political leaders

  9. He’s a crabbit looking oul bollix……………
