"The UVF and its political wing the PUP have sold out Protestant people. We are the young, new face of loyalism." The LVF said the RUC had fired live rounds at loyalists throughout the week, and accused the police of betraying Protestants.

Members of the LVF posed for photographs in paramilitary uniforms before an Ulster flag armed with an AK-47 assault rifle and a Browning .9mm pistol. "Remember we were the last loyalist group to call a ceasefire. We are the militant face of loyalism. We are here, we are ready. We will act."
