PUP accuses British Government of discrimination

The loyalist Progressive Unionist Party today accused the British Government of discriminating against it after being refused compensation for damage to its Shankill Road offices during the loyalist feud in Belfast last year.

The PUP said they had been told they won’t get a penny for damage caused during the feud become some of its members are former prisoners - including Northern Ireland Assembly members David Ervine and Billy Hutchinson.
