“…the Progressive Unionist Party (PUP), was forced to pull out of all-party talks following a mass meeting of the terror group last weekend. The UVF’s rank and file told the PUP it had no faith in the direction of the peace process, which the terrorists said was loaded in favour of republicanism.”
We are reader supported. Donate to keep Slugger lit!
For over 20 years, Slugger has been an independent place for debate and new ideas. We have published over 40,000 posts and over one and a half million comments on the site. Each month we have over 70,000 readers. All this we have accomplished with only volunteers we have never had any paid staff.
Slugger does not receive any funding, and we respect our readers, so we will never run intrusive ads or sponsored posts. Instead, we are reader-supported. Help us keep Slugger independent by becoming a friend of Slugger. While we run a tight ship and no one gets paid to write, we need money to help us cover our costs.
