He campaigns against the privatisation of public housing. One of the only mixed working class areas in Belfast - The Holy Land - was turned into a student ghetto when conversion of houses into homes of multiple occupancy was grant aided by government. So much for a shared future!

He is on a very important issue here and he has been writing about it more eloquently than most - and got beaten up for his trouble.

Murray claims that when he tried to press charges, the police would not cooperate.

I walked down to Donegall Pass to report the assault on me. The desk assistant called a ambulance. Six officers arrived from the scene and took me into a small room. They proceeded to bully me into not pressing charges. They also cautioned me for criticising Katrina O’Neill at the residents’ meeting and on the internet and for “looking” at her outside the Ormeau Bakery.

He claims he was subsequently cautioned that he would be charged with harassment for other comments he’d posted.

Finally, Murray says he was arrested for the harassment of  Katrina O’Neill after publishing this post.
