Mural of Gaddafi in Belfast, Northern Ireland.

Living here, I can tell you that the Loyalist murals are far more threatening; they're in black and white while the Republican ones are usually in colour. You'll also notice way more Loyalist murals in commemoration of certain people, more often than not people who committed Sectarian murder, rather than soldiers or police officers. Republican murals don't focus on this as much and usually have a much more international perspective (pro-ANC, Pro-Palestine, Pro-Cuba, Pro-Catalonia etc).

New Republican murals are especially tame (generic Pro-Ireland, anti-Racism stuff). Loyalist murals seem much more bleak and hopeless. Honestly, nowadays you see way more Pro-Palestine messages than Troubles related graffiti about in Republican areas.
