Let's hope it won't be a competition between Muslim Extremists and this lot on who can cause the most carnage.
UVF was responsible for atleast 500 murders.

Quite right.
None of that old ****e!
Move along, very little to see here, which is the problem, the SF/DUP coalition has done nothing for Northern Ireland for the past 10 years, it's unlikely to manage much in the next five.
People need to wise up and look around, start thinking of policies which make our local healthcare better, better education, rather than what colour of flag I can fly on which day.

find some more straws to clutch, cons are between a rock and a hard place, if they try to drive a hard brexit they will fail, to simply run the UK they are having to rely on the support of terrorists. Neither Libs nor SNP would be doing any of us a service by trying to prop that witch up
Pinochet was not a terrorist, he was a national leader
Remember when Douglas Hurd was having cosy chats with Gerry Adams and Danny Morrison in '77? Long before JC ever made it to Belfast.
Ulster Resistance were considered to be a Loyalist Paramilitary group, and as for Loyalist groups existing to "resist the ira", the official IRA weren't even doing anything in the lead-up to the troubles it was loyalist paranoia about the 50th anniversary of the Easter rising and some kind of "upsurge" in IRA activity was about to happen, consequently Loyalists caused the first casualties of the troubles, leading to the formation of the Provisional IRA.

Not wishing to derail, but the DUPs newest MP is
Emma Pengelly is the daughter of the loyalist activist Noel Little. He was absent from her life between the ages of nine and eleven following an arrest for arms trafficking.
Pengelly is married to Richard Pengelly, who is the Permanent Secretary at the Department of Health
They're all lovely people.
We're in a new era, there may be a shadow of the past overhanging us, but still, need to look forward, not back at 2000 year old texts.

But the UVF are not formally linked to the DUP. Like I said, there is some crossover for sure, but I think saying the DUP is a terrorist organisation is pretty misleading.
UVF have nothing to do with the DUP, you're mistaking them for the UDA. The UVF have their own political mouthpiece, the PUP.
All the same mess, i'd lump any separatists in with Sinn Fein aswell if i knew more.
No point in making it complex when the goal is ultimately one thing for both sides.
The last time the English tried to make things "less complex" in Northern Ireland you ended up picking pieces of Canary Wharf out of your hair
Not to derail this into a history lesson, but the first sectarian murders, bombings and massacre of the Troubles were committed by loyalist paramilitaries. They existed to violently suppress the Catholic civil rights movement (after being wound up by Paisley and Co), which led directly to the creation of the Provos.

Can anyone clear up exactly what 'providing certainty' means?
