"I do and I like the political meanings they have it is cool as you see it on the house walls too, one said our day will come  "
Maybe if you understood the meanings behind a lot of it you'd be more disinclined to like it. See if you can find the history of 'our day will come' for example.
That aside the some of the actual artwork is top notch |

How is it cool to have slogans that remember a war that killed hundreds of people? Neither side has been blameless. |

"I was working in Belfast in late 80s and early 90s and if you ignore the political messages they are actually quite beautiful pieces of artwork"
That is right the art work is really good too  |

Most of the "artwork" is a bit rough when seen up close.
The messages are clear. Lamp post pissing territory marking and the two tribes mentality that often blights what is a beautiful place.
One day they may move on from 1690.
The silent majority would rather like the past to stay in the past in my experience. |
