in 1996 I thought that the PUP put their Socialism before their Loyalism during Drumcree & Lower Ormeau disputes, Billy Wright was ostracised and that was wrong, but now 20 years later we need a Loyalist Workers Party, the war is over, we need to match SF in politics
I am from a different tradition however have 100% respect for the ervine family. I believe in real equality + real respect for both traditions. Faugh a’ Ballagh (Fág an Bealach) - an Irish language moto + slogan which unites both traditions.
David Ervine was the first of a group of loyalists who actually impressed me (a Fenian). Himself and Billy Hutchinson were like a breath of fresh air at the time they started to get media exposure. Real working class loyalists devoid of the knuckle-dragging stupidity of Orangeism, and the Paisleyites. But no, their own community rejected their best advocates in generations. I really don't understand it. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a h-anam.
Working class loyalists will never grow up and will continue to vote for upper class unionists. They are not capable of thinking for themselves, poor fools.
