By Richard Bullick @RichardBullick1 On Friday, the Belfast News Letter published an article setting out my concerns about a clause in the Executive Committee (Functions) Bill. It was my contention that the bill rolls back some of the key safeguards that were part of the Northern Ireland (St Andrews Agreement) Act 2006. The full article […]
@JamieBrysonCPNI Editor@UnionistVoice.com It is necessary to begin with the legal obligations on the directors when issuing a written resolution. Section 291 (4) of the Companies Act 2006 states that Directors must provide the following: (4) The copy of the resolution must be accompanied by a statement informing the member— (a) how to signify agreement to […]
By Stephen Cooper @S_J_Cooper Twenty-two years on Twenty two years ago last week, the Belfast Agreement was foisted upon a weary and desperate electorate. The coercion and emotional blackmail, intertwined with lies and false claims, embraced an undercurrent of sinister insistence that it was this way, or all hell would break loose. The amount of […]
Editor@UnionistVoice.com @JamieBrysonCPNI There was an interesting side issue during today’s Nolan Show. The broadcaster took to task a group of commentators who spent recent days criticising the media for the platform offered to the Quinn family.

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 […]
Being a Unionist or a Nationalist does not make someone sectarian The recent comment on Twitter of the Alliance Party MLA for Strangford Kellie Armstrong – and I quote: “Can unionists or nationalists be non sectarian?” in a social media discussion is not only foolish but also quite offensive as it makes an assumption on […]
@JamieBrysonCPNI Editor@UnionistVoice.com On last weeks BBC Radio Ulster Stephen Nolan show questions were raised of commentators around how the grassroots unionist/loyalist community would react to the potential for a ‘backstop’ to be imposed on Northern Ireland. The grassroots unionist and loyalist community do not have the same social media presence as pan-nationalism, or the liberal […]
@JamieBrysonCPNI Editor@UnionistVoice.com We are entering constitutionally historic times as Parliament faces off against the people. The Remainer Parliament, many of whom have been colluding with the European Union in order to usurp the democratic will of the British people, have one objective; to stop Brexit.
