Red Flame Vandalizes Historic Postbox

A radical group calling themselves Lasair Dhearg—meaning “Red Flame”—vandalized a historic postbox in west Belfast, painting it green and destroying its crown in a video they posted online. Their message? They’re building a “Socialist Republic” and want to erase symbols of “imperialism,” including street names, monuments, and statues they deem representative of an “occupying power.” They also plan to repurpose state institutions for the people. The act has ignited fierce backlash, with unionist politician Jordan Duran calling it “disgraceful.” Meanwhile, police have confirmed no report has been filed, leaving no official investigation underway. This incident underscores how deeply historical symbols and political ideologies still divide communities—even over something as mundane as a postbox.
