Last I heard he was annoying young yins in the toilets for a line, so probably won’t be long as he looks terrible, him and a close family friend hanged around back in the day, both on the same train, so I suppose I do have a softer spot for him than I ever should.

Disliked him for years though, next time I bumb into my 2nd cuz I’ll ask for a story or 2…:grin:

I don’t think there are any good story’s about him tbh, even the littlest he done was marred in some shit…

Like @fidgetUK says, he beat her more than once.

As a group, have loyalists ever been on the right side of any issue? Serious question.
They supported apartheid in S. Africa, the Confederacy in the US, they’re still homophobic, Islamophobic etc etc

You’d think somewhere along the line, even accidentally, they’d have managed it. Even their pro-union stance some of them had was often as much about protecting their jobs from Catholics as it was about protecting themselves from the bosses’ exploitation.

I do think there is some hope among individual Loyalists. Linda Ervine is an example. I’ve gone to see her speak a couple of times and she comes across very well. I wouldn’t be surprised if she gets hounded out of E. Belfast in the end - despite her family’s UVF/PUP background.

Yeah. I imagine there are a lot of young people from the Unionist community looking at their political leaders’ racism, homophobia, anti-abortion stance etc and thinking these people aren’t for me. I presume that’s why the likes of Alliance are starting to do well. Brexit will only hasten the process, I think.
