Chalk and Cheese David Rose The Other View The most common and, from this writers perspective, irritating charge laid at those of us in the Progressive Unionist Party is the oft repeated allegation that we are some sort of Protestant Sinn Fein.

Beyond those two factors though the case becomes distinctly lightweight exposing the ignorance of the accuser more than it indicts the PUP. Those who make the charge, usually the Unionist old guard clearly do not understand modern Loyalism or Irish Nationalism. If the editorial team at 'The Other View' indulges me, I will attempt to put the record straight. Comments: 1:37:49 PM
