The delusions are insane
Government negotiators have dismissed UVF demands for senior members to be issued with personal protection weapons.
The outlandish request is believed to have been dismissed out of hand as a condition for the terror group to finally transition away from paramilitary activity.
The UVF have been locked in discussions with government negotiators for a number of years and are understood to be nearing a position where they can announce their disbandment.
Early obstacles included demands for immunity from prosecution for historical conflict-related crimes.
I always take statements from people wearing balaclavas seriously
Next they’ll be looking a company car and a dental plan. Sure the Brits kitted them out the first time, might as well go the full hog; pensions, paid leave, and a free lunch in the canteen
A point I’ve made a few times on the NI sub recently is that the proscription of Palestine Action by Westminster was voted on by three Ulster Resistance terrorists (2 DUP, 1 TUV MPs)
Last week, police in Britain arrested over 100 people on terrorism charges for holding up signs, while PSNI/MI5 estimates put loyalist terrorists at around 12,500
I suppose the bonfires where they burn tricolours and effigies of immigrants are for their personal protection too.
Protections from who? Other loyalist drug dealers?
Must be the first time the UVF were refused guns by the British government.
They survive on outrage, hatred and fear. Don’t give them the satisfaction of reacting to this nonsense.
Their numbers are dropping by more and more with every year that goes by.
They’ll all be gone in a couple of decades.
Ah lads, ffs 🤦♂️
WWN?
If Republicans demands personal protection guns imagine the absolute fucking meltdown from the media, Irish and UK government.
„personal protection“ must have a different definition if you make a prayer to Charles daily.
They have arms already they just want to be able to openly intimidate or worse without psni persecution.
Can’t read the paywalled article, so may have missed the gist here. Is the story that the UVF, a terrorist organization, requested free weapons from the UKG?
WTF?? Should the IRA , and all the other terrorist groups pile on too? Glad rhe UKG said NO!, but still WTF?
