Dear Protestant Coalition.
I am the manager of the Facebook pages Loyalist Against
Demacracy & Loyalists Against Damacracy and today I am not feeling very
funny.
Today on your Facebook page you have labelled my pages ‘republican’.

| The Protestant Coalition - libellous |
This is not true. As I
stated in my statement to The Irish News on Monday when Facebook admitted an
error in unpublishing L.A.D.:
“L.A.D. is delighted that Facebook have recognised the error
of their ways and reinstated Loyalists Against Demacracy, Northern Ireland's
most loyal loyal loyalist page. None are more loyal than us.
In all seriousness, L.A.D. has always enjoyed huge cross community support and
provides a forum for the majority of people to express their frustration with
those intent on wrecking the place regardless of cause or motivation. We do
this using satire and self depreciation and hope we have made people laugh in difficult
times.
We also shine a light on less savoury Facebook pages and hold them up to public
account, scrutiny and mockery. The sectarian bigots in our society are happy to
spout statements of hatred in their own enclaves but less happy when shown to
the majority of decent people.”
In other words THE PAGE IS NOT FUCKING REPUBLICAN.
There may well be republicans commenting on my pages; as
well as unionists, conservatives, socialists, greens, nationalists and
communists. I welcome all sorts as long as they aren’t sectarian bigots, racist,
homophobic, extremely stupid or make threats of violence.
This is a satirical page. If you cannot grasp that concept
please look it up in a dictionary or have a look at the works of Peter Cook,
Stephen Colbert, Charlie Brooker, Sasha Baron Cohen, Bill Hicks, Ian Hislop and
a personal favourite Chris Morris. I don’t
claim to be in their class but I’d like us to be.
Having garnered legal opinion I am informed that your
statement is in fact libellous as you have published an untruth about me which
could potentially do harm to my reputation. Therefore I have instructed a solicitor
to take this matter further.
Please don’t bother removing the post; it will do you no
favours.
With no Love,
L.A.D. (Mr.)
WE are the people
