Unionist Voice Editorial
Editor@UnionistVoice.com @JamieBrysonCPNI Loyalists are entitled to be treated equally and fairly by the media. Sadly, this is often not the case. Partly this is due to the fact that loyalism has displayed a remarkable acceptance in relation to the poor treatment by the media over the past 20 years, only recently beginning to mount serious […]
Editor@UnionistVoice.com @JamieBrysonCPNI You can download a comprehensive analysis of the 62-page draft document released by the British and Irish Governments via this link – Analysis of Draft Deal There was a deliberate and clear effort to release the text in such a manner so as to impede grassroots scrutiny of the document. Unionist Voice has sought […]
Editor@UnionistVoice.com @JamieBrysonCPNI The proposals currently on the table include a convoluted ransom payment on the Irish Language. To all intents and purposes it is the February 18 deal, but re-worked in order to present what in practical terms is stand-alone Irish Language legislation so that it appears as if it is not stand-alone, and instead […]
Editor@UnionistVoice.com @JamieBrysonCPNI The publication of four images relating to the Avoniel bonfire has, quite rightly, caused considerable anger amongst the grassroots unionist/loyalist community. The majority of people naturally look to events such as the New Lodge in August 2019 and wonder why there are no similar PSNI media releases of images? This plays into the […]
Editor@UnionistVoice.com @JamieBrysonCPNI As 2020 begins, and it’s 2:30am on the first day of the decade as I sit down to write this having been unwell for a number of weeks, we find ourselves standing on the window ledge of the union, facing the greatest threat to our place in the United Kingdom since the Home […]
Editor@UnionistVoice.com @JamieBrysonCPNI As unionism and loyalism unites like never before in opposition to the Betrayal Act, which seeks to impose an economic United Ireland, the Ulster Unionist Party are engaging in a scorched earth policy. The UUP previously sought to form a de-facto pact with the nationalist SDLP in the form of the humiliating ‘Vote […]
@JamieBrysonCPNI Editor@UnionistVoice.com With intense focus on the loyalist community in recent weeks due to serious discontent around the proposed Betrayal Act designed to create an economic United Ireland, the mainstream media has predictably turned to some academics, semi-retired security journalists and commentators who would have traditionally, in the minds of some, been able to offer […]
@JamieBrysonCPNI Editor@UnionistVoice.com This website spent many months warning that there was a growing anger within loyalism. The liberal elite establishment- whose window into loyalism comes from those who have made a career out of the ‘peace process’- poured scorn on such warnings. Their contacts told them all was fine, indeed even some suggested that a […]
@JamieBrysonCPNI Editor@UnionistVoice.com The governance arrangements for Northern Ireland are given authority in domestic law by the Northern Ireland Act 1998, and this is underpinned by the British-Irish Agreement, an international treaty which includes at Annex 1 the political agreement of the 1998 multi-party talks, commonly known as the Belfast Agreement. Section 26 of the Northern […]
@JamieBrysonCPNI Editor@UnionistVoice.com The red line that has always been the one unifying core issue within loyalism, and across the wider unionist family, is- as you would expect- the union. The Combined Loyalist Military Command statement in 1994 was predicated upon one core premise- the union is safe. And those loyalists who supported the Belfast Agreement […]
