LOYALIST activist Jamie Bryson known also known as the 'Pound Shop Lawyer' has slammed the Irish foreign minister Simon Coveney, saying it is "perfectly legitimate" to oppose his actions in *orthern Ireland - so long as it is done peacefully.

On the day armed UVF terrorists hijacked a van on the loyalist Shankill Road and placed what he believed was a bomb into the back of that van and forced the driver at gunpoint to deliver the bomb to the Ardoyne Chapel, close to a republican heartland.
It comes as Mr Coveney was the target of a hoax bombing in north Belfast earlier that day which is now suspected UVF men were responsible for planting.
The scene cordened off by Police close to the hoax bomb scare at Ardoyne Chapel.
Mr Bryson also suggested that the so-called PUL were tricked into inactivity during '2021 Protocol protests'. When it was very clear for (the dogs in the street knew) everyone to see the protests had fewer and fewer people attending and the so-called Protocol protests had run out of steam.
And even at one of the Protocol rally inside an Orange Hall the organiser's of the rally placed 'life-size dummies' (as you can see in the photographs below).
But he pledged not to allow this to happen twice, as he re-stated his 'great expectations' to see the 1998 Good Friday Agreement "destroyed".
He was speaking at a loyalist rally in Ballymoney on Friday evening, with the leaders of the TUV and DUP were in attendance - "putting across their vision of a 'New Ulster' - without the Protocol and now they have decided without the GFA (Good Friday Agreement) also, (photographed above) Jim Allister, Jeffrey Donaldson, Kate Hoey and Ben Babib were lending their support to the loyalist rally where they all criticised everyone and everybody and everything that loyalists and unionists are unhappy with including a Sinn Féin First Minister and no Catholic Judiciary.
He shared his written remarks with the News Litter shortly before the event, and in he said: "[The Belfast Agreement] (that's the 'Good Friday Agreement' to everyone else) is rotten, corrupt and for 24-years (nearly as old as Jamie himself) has brought nothing but destruction to our place in the Union.
"It is the father of the Protocol, and therefore it follows that in order to safeguard the Union, the entire bloodline of the wicked 'process' must be eradicated.
"It isn't the time to meekly keep operating our own destruction - either via implementing the Protocol, or the Belfast Agreement."
He quoted the following extract from the 1912 Ulster Covenant: "[We] do hereby pledge ourselves in solemn Covenant, throughout this our time of threatened calamity, to stand by one another in defending, for ourselves and our children, our cherished position of equal citizenship in the United Kingdom, and in using all means which may be found necessary to defeat the present conspiracy."
He dubbed Simon Coveney a" meddling aggressor".
"The Irish Government come to *orthern Ireland and swan around as if they own the place," he said.
"And it is perfectly legitimate that the so-called PUL exercise a basic right of peaceful protest (and I do emphasise peace protest only) and to ensure that Irish Government officials will no longer be able to behave as if they have some authority in this part of the United Kingdom."
Jamie is this what you call a peaceful protest when a DUP MP (Sammy Wilson) called for Guerrilla Warfare on the streets over the Protocol?
In beginning to draw his comments to a close, he said: "Last summer the temperature was lowered because we-foolishly-trusted the command paper - the one where Boris threw the PUL under the bus again and the DUP got DUPed - issued to try and calm PUL anger."
This is a reference to a paper produced by the Tory government and the DUP last July, in which Boris the Clown said: "It is increasingly clear that we cannot solve the problems simply by a rigid and unpurposive application of the Protocol in its current form" - adding that he would feel justified in triggering Article 16.
Mr Bryson, the 'Pound Shop Lawyer' said: "It was a false promise, a clever device to lower the temperature over the marching season.
I myself personally agree with the comments sent in a tweet by Kevin McGuinness as seen in the Tweet above: "I do think that some of the comments Mr Bryson has made are an incitement to commit terrorism - under the Terrorism Act 2000 and I personally believe that he should be prosecuted by the PSNI for making those comments".
"We won't fall for it again. Its time for action by the government, not more words. We have had enough."
Bryson dubs Simon Coveney a 'meddling aggressor' saying the Dublin government 'swans around NI as if they own the place'
VIOLENCE, MURDER AND GANGSTERISM: TIMELINE OF UVF TERRORISM ACTIVITY SINCE 1998.

March 25th, 2022.
Almost 25 years after the Good Friday Agreement, the UVF remain linked to violence, murder and gangsterism.
On Friday, the PSNI singled out the loyalist terror group as a likely suspect for a hoax bomb alert in north Belfast.
Just as shocking is that an innocent van driver was stopped at gunpoint, and led to believe he was being forced to drive with a live bomb while his family were under threat.
In 2007, the UVF and Red Hand Commando issued a statement stating they were putting their weapons beyond use and would assume a “non-military-civilianised role” but this has not materialised.
Below are some of the criminal activities attributed to the UVF since the signing of the Good Friday Agreement.
