Loyalists have to be made to understand, that times have changed. They should not be able to get away with their terrorist tactics as they did in the past. The Brits must be made to rein them in.

Why did they issue a threat?? What did the journalist do or find out to get them that annoyed??

Loyalists up to their old tricks again but I wonder will we see any condemnation from the republican haters on this site? Loyalists hate the press as they are constantly being investigated for their criminality and links to the security forces. Their actions are largely ignored in the Republic where the focus is on one party’s fairy tale links to all sorts of innuendo and a non existent “threat” from a now disbanded former paramilitary army. That still doesn’t stop the “chicken lickin” scare stories being bandied about by people who refuse to move with the times. Printer cartridges and roll calls are after all more important than an ongoing threat from an organized criminal gang that intimidates and assaults people and communities on a regular basis.

Luckily we have reporters who do keep up to date and keep up the pressure on the UDA (who haven’t gone away you know!). The UDA obviously don’t like their continuing existence being brought up seeing as it shows that they are still active in “community development” such as extortion, drug dealing, racketeering and other crime. Hopefully the Press will launch a major campaign in support of one of their own and get this threat lifted.

Loyalists need to realise that times have changed , and they can no longer get away with their terrorist tactics, as they did in the past. The Brits should rein them in
