Audio interview with John Kyle, PUP Pottinger councillor on Belfast City Council, by Joel Taggart for BBC Radio Ulster The Nolan Show on 5 September 2013. Earlier that month an East Belfast mural of George Best, created using European Union funding as part of a regeneration project, was begun to be painted over with an image of a UVF gunman prompting criticism from some within the local community. In this interview Kyle discusses the political undertones of this action and wider unionist dissatisfaction with the political status quo in Northern Ireland. The Nolan Show is a daily current affairs programme on BBC Radio Ulster.
