Does anyone remember Jim (Dodgy) Dowson?

The Scottish shit-stirring windbag was very prominent in the early days of the fleg protests and was likely to be seen at Belfast City Hall wielding his trusty bucket collecting money for "loyalist prisoners" or whatever cause he was "supporting" that week.

So successful was Dodgy at the old shit-stirring thing that he was swiftly arrested by the peelers - pretty much at the same time as fellow C.U.N.T.s (Citizens Under Nationalist Threat) Wee Jamie Bryson and Willie (The Tazer) Frazer.

Before getting involved in saving Belfast from the horror of Belfast City Hall only flying the Union Fleg on designated days (in common with other U.K. cities) Dowson (a former Calvinist Minister) had been involved in all sorts of dodgy money making schemes exposed by anti-fascist group Hope Not Hate.  His so-called Life League - an extremist anti-abortion group specialised in sending photographs of foetuses to schools and the like.

Most famously Dowson was fund raiser for the BNP and managed the membership of the right-wing organisation from his HQ in Dundonald. Dowson subsequently fell out with Nick Griffin over, you guessed it money, but not before some high profile industrial tribunal cases, claims that Dowson "owned" the BNP and rows over European funding. Dowson finally 'quit' the BNP (he claims he was never a member!) " after being accused of groping a blonde activist".


Before leaving the BNP in 2010 the Scottish Daily Record published an expose of Dowson detailing his criminal convictions including breach of the peace in 1986, possession of a weapon and breach of the peace in 1991 and criminal damage in 1992. He was forced out of his local Orange Lodge and took part in demonstrations against fellow Orangemen, attacking them as "atheists and boozers" after he was "born again".

Dowson subsequently set up a rival far right racist group called 'Britain First' in 2011 with fellow BNP outcast and trusted lapdog Paul Golding using the database of contacts he had gathered in his Dundonald operation to secure support - and funding.

After his arrest in March 2013 Dowson set up an offshoot of Britain First - the Protestant Coalition with fellow hardliners Wee Willie Frazer, former UPRG man Davy Nicholl, Tiger's Bay Loyalist Bill (Bollocks) Hill, Woodvale self-confessed "dangerous man" Rab McKee and notably Paul Golding.

Dowson claimed that everyone was welcome to join the Protestant Coalition!

Before long Dowson (and his new friends) were up to his old tricks:

1. The Bucket is Back

2. Claiming victory over the PSNI

The Protestant Coalition, claiming violence against the PSNI is justified
3. Putting up misleading shit-stirring photographs

The Protestant Coalition: shit stirring bollocks
 4. Exploiting the tragedy of Omagh

The Omagh Bombing: All Catholics were to blame
Jim Dowson's time at the Protestant Coalition came after a very public row on social media with the PUP's Izzy Giles when he launched a series of homophobic tirades.

It's worth pointing out at this point that as part of Dowson's bail conditions he is banned from using social media. Izzy was unconvinced that Jim was obeying this ruling.

I'm not Jim Dowson - honest officer
Not long after the Protestant Coalition apologised for Dowson's rant and quickly thereafter Dowson ostensibly left the party. We have it on very very good authority that Dowson was told to step down by "the boys".

Dowson has due to his bail conditions been quiet in Northern Ireland of late but has found other ways to stay active notably via the Facebook account of one 'Alice Dowson'. Other loyalists (even Twat King Cole) have been quick to pick up on this but to the best of our knowledge no action against 'Alice' has been taken by the authorities.

I'm still not Jim Dowson, my name is 'Alice', said Jim
Yesterday the world was rocked to learn that one of the few remaining members of the Protestant Coalition, Rab McGee had quit citing "health and family problems" (but no mention of a run in with some paramilitaries last week).

With Hill, Golding and Nicholl leaving during 2013 that only leaves Willie Frazer (and possibly So It Is Sam) from the remaining "Gang Of Shite".

Rub McGee, surrender monkey
But what of Dowson?

As 'Alice' he continues to share the fascist filth peddled on Britain First's vile Facebook page.

Alice Dowson - definitely NAT Jim Dowson. Really
And the big news: Jim is back in the fleg game telling Britain First's 131,000 gullible Facebook followers that "every town in Ulster has 'British zones' and in these areas people feel united and safe" - try telling that to the people of Carrick and Larne Jim! 


Jim Dowson and Britain First. Horseshit.
We hope Dowson's bail conditions are relaxed soon and he is allowed to speak in public. He is the greatest advertisement for a liberal, tolerant, progressive pluralist society anyone could hope for.

The way we were. The Protestant Coalition: (L-R) So It Is Sam, Rub McGee, Wee Willie, Billy Bollocks, Cher (guest shit-stirrer), Dodgy

The citizens of Carrickfergus really will be spoilt for choice come this May's council electons.

First there was the tale of the Unprogressive Unionist Party (uPUP) candidate Gareth Cole and his nocturnal fleg erecting activities and a dark history of posting inappropriate material on Facebook - including a suggestion that "it high time we blow UTV and newsline up the fenion (sic) loving bastards" Click here for the full story.

It seems the PUP are delighted that such a person should represent them and indeed one prominent council candidate, the fragrant and lovely Izzy Giles tweeted:

So far neither Mr. Cole nor the party have explained or apologised for any of Mr. Cole's posts.

We can only imagine what a proper political party would do were one of their election hopefuls to express a desire to blow up a TV newsroom or set fire to the former Lord Mayor of Belfast.

Not to be outdone the Undemocratic Unionist Party (uDUP) have now selected the charming Bobby Harrison-Rice as a council election candidate in Carrickfergus.

Some of you may recall that Mr. Harrison-Rice was forced to stand down as Vice Chairman of the Carrickfergus Policing and Community Safety Partnership when some of his rather unsavoury views were reported in the local press.

If you missed the posts here are Mr. Harrison-Rice's views on:

PRESIDENT OBAMA:


JULIAN SIMMONS:


























THE FRENCH:


























 MUSLIMS:



























STEPHEN NOLAN & THE BBC


Lovely stuff.

The Belfast Telegraph yesterday reported that a uDUP source had confirmed Mr. Harrison-Rice will stand as a party candidate in the forthcoming council elections.

Interestingly the selection was not made by local members of the uDUP but was (we are told) a central office decision.

Asked about the the decision to stand Harrison-Rice the uDUP stated "We are presently going through the process of selection and when that's completed an announcement will be made in due course."

We can't wait.

Good luck Bobby.

People of Carrickfergus we have found your new leader


Gareth Cole, PUP candidate for Carrickfergus Council

Meet Gareth Cole who has recently been selected as the PUP candidate in Carrickfergus for May's council elections.

To date, the PUP has never received more than 565 votes in the previous elections, since 1993. We here at LAD are confident that given Gareth's "progressive" approach, this underwhelming mandate can be achieved again.

Let's start with Mr. Cole's activities last night (13/2/2014) when he decided his election priority was to erect  more flegs without permission or consultation with local residents.

Gareth Cole, PUP - another tiny erection


Thankfully young Gareth's Facebook page was wide open at the time of writing so we will let him tell you all about his "progressive" unionist views:

Gareth welcomes all to 'loyalist' Carrickfergus
Presumably a 'taig' was in attendance
Gareth Cole, media darling
Sinn Fein IRA
Ah 'taigs' with cameras - well done Gareth Cole
Dissadents
No links at all between the PUP and UVF. No really
An alarming obsession with flegs
'Inclusivity' is a watchword of Gareth Cole

Niall Ó Donnghaile - Gareth loves him

Gareth Cole's Twitter account is particularly hilarious.

Today we asked him if he was ever an admin on the ultra sectarian Carrickfergus United Loyalists Facebook page.



We don't believe him. What do you think?
Yeeeeeoooooo






GC is no fan of the PSNI either:


Well done Gareth.

Good luck in the council elections.
