By Jamie Bryson- Editor@UnionistVoice.com @JamieBrysonCPNI The events at Avoniel over the past week attracted huge media interest across the United Kingdom, and further afield. Mainstream unionist politicians dipped their toe in at various points, but ultimately it was a victory won by the grassroots PUL community who stood in defiance of attempts to railroad the […]
By Jamie Bryson Editor@UnionistVoice.com @JamieBrysonCPNI There has been significant misrepresentation of events over recent days concerning bonfires in the east Belfast area. It appears a narrative has taken hold that loyalists in the East Belfast Cultural Collective were advocating the burning of tyres; nothing could be further from the truth. The group has been clear […]
By Jamie Bryson- Editor@UnionistVoice.com @JamieBrysonCPNI The motion passed on Monday night mandates Belfast City Council officials to take legal action to compel the removal of “paramilitary flags” and “British Army banners”. Therefore, when drafting their proposed legal action council officials will be constrained by the text of Sinn Fein’s own motion. They face several hurdles […]
By Jamie Bryson- Editor@UnionistVoice.com @JamieBrysonCPNI This short piece is little more than a basic attempt to pay tribute to one of the finest Ulstermen that ever lived, William Fredrick Frazer.

I understand at least one senior QC returned the papers, unwilling to play any role in […]
By Jamie Bryson- Editor@UnionistVoice.com @JamieBrysonCPNI In my recent Judicial Review challenge the High Court ruled that in the event that the PSNI had corporate knowledge that a person may be in possession of journalistic material, then the enhanced protections apply- even if the police are not seeking journalistic material- and as such they would be […]
By Jamie Bryson- Editor@UnionistVoice.com @JamieBrysonCPNI The Police Ombudsman has publicly denied that there was any complaint of theft in relation to the confidential Loughinisland material, however Unionist Voice can today publish a full copy of the written statement (below) by the Ombudsman’s Director of Investigations, Paul Holmes.

At the weekend a carload of New IRA members, including Fennell, went in search of the young DJ to issue a ‘punishment beating’ after he made a joke about a relative of Dee Fennell. This is a similar situation to the New IRA murder of Michael McGibbon. His crime had been to allegedly upset a […]
