The UFF, a swell bunch of guys!

It has been brought to my attention that Lionel Shriver, American-albeit-with-British-citizenship author of We Need To Talk About Kevin, describes herself as "hewing towards the unionist camp" after 12 years living in Belfast.

What she glosses over in her Guardian article, but places prominently to the front for a Daily Mail piece, is that she is a fan of paramilitary murder gang for the UDA, the UFF.

Ms Shriver goes on to inform the reader of how gravely she acknowledges the misery wrought during that period known as Troubles...

...only to dismiss it flippantly one paragraph later when she gets down to the real nitty gritty of herbal remedies.

Ms Shriver then ascends to hypocrisy nirvana when, apropos of nothing, she slams "the Muslim world" for purchasing terrorist merchandise.

The UFF, a swell bunch of guys!
