Editor@UnionistVoice.com @JamieBrysonCPNI The headline of the article is “a United Ireland would be good for everyone”. Let us therefore start there; upon what basis does Mr Paris assert a United Ireland would be good for unionists in Northern Ireland, who for over 30 years were subjected to a republican terrorist campaign designed to bring about […]
By Cllr Russell Watton After a week of reflection on the “Stormont Deal”, I think I should now voice my opinion, for what it’s worth. Firstly I cannot believe the DUP agreed to an Irish Language Act and a Commissioner. This is in direct contradiction to repeated pledges and promises. We were told that an […]
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 […]

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 could write a fluffy piece, but Willie would not have appreciated that. If I had done so, he would likely have said to me […]
By Jamie Bryson- Editor@UnionistVoice.com @JamieBrysonCPNI It is reported that the PPS are to prosecute for the alleged offence of conspiracy to commit misconduct in public office in relation to my appearance before the NI Assembly Finance committee in 2015. I understand at least one senior QC returned the papers, unwilling to play any role in […]
By Jamie Bryson- Editor@UnionistVoice.com @JamieBrysonCPNI A recent Unionist Voice article highlighted an imbalance in terms of the religious background of Northern Ireland’s most senior judicial posts.
