Let’s Talk Loyalism is a Loyalist advocacy group which aims to articulate Loyalist perspectives and initiate positive change within the Loyalist community.
For generations Irish Republicans used the infamous sectarian slogan, "Get The Brits Out!" Today, that slogan becomes our own. Let's Get The Brits Out...To Vote!
On the 4th July, Get The Brits Out To Vote!
Loyalist anti-protocol demonstrations have made their way to Dublin on the day Leo Varadkar becomes Prime Minister.
“Our message to the new Irish Prime Minister is this - Northern Ireland will not have the will of the Irish Government imposed upon it.”
The Agreement is dead.
Loyalists today protested at the Conversative Conference in Manchester declaring the Belfast Agreement is dead. We will not tolerate an unjust Irish Sea Border that seperates us from the rest of the United Kingdom. Unless & until the Irish Sea Border is removed, the GFA is dead.
We are excited to announce Let’s Talk Loyalism will officially launch next week.
Watch our promotional video to get an idea of what we are all about.

Yesterdays anti-Protocol demonstration by Loyalists in Dublin was a significant & symbolic event.
The video has made over 1 million *impressions* on Twitter.
It has been viewed over 300,000 times. Over five times more views than Mary Lou McDonald’s speech inside the Dail.
Today Let’s Talk Loyalism took part in street theatre outside Stormont Parliament Buildings to demonstrate the death of the Belfast/Good Friday Agreement which has been killed by the Protocol.
“As long as the Protocol lives the Belfast/Good Friday Agreement is dead.”

asks, “Is Northern Ireland Forgetting Its Past?” A challenge to Sinn Féin’s historical revisionism exposing their “incredible act of hypocrisy” when they glorify the PIRA while lecturing others about human rights.
‘Keep Your Word’ Letters are being signed at various locations throughout Northern Ireland tonight urging political unionism to stand firm and stick to its mandate. This is just one of the areas in East Belfast this evening.
🎥Our communtiy has been unwavering & resolute in its opposition to the Protocol.
🇬🇧Loyalists throughout the United Kingdom must continue to demonstrate their total rejection of the Irish Sea Border.
Resolve the Protocol.
Remove the Irish Sea Border.
Restore the Acts of Union.
Loyalists and Unionists unite today in Moygashel to sign the 'Keep Your Word' letter, stressing the importance of politicians standing by their promises and continuing to represent the people. Superb display of activism!

We would like to place on record our sincere thanks to all those who have supported and stood in solidarity with us this past week.
We refuse to sit back and allow systematic censorship or misrepresention to be imposed on the Loyalist Community by those who fear our voice.
It wasn’t long ago
@JoeBrolly1993
described the Orange Order like the KKK.
It was a hate-filled statement that demonised & misrepresented Orangism.
Now there are real examples of hate, discrimination & attack on Loyalist culture & he is nowhere to be found.

Poll results today demonstrate that significantly more people in Northern Ireland support the Union over a *United Ireland.*
Less than a third would vote for a *United Ireland* tomorrow.

Full statement below👇
Let’s Talk Loyalism is officially launching its “Cultural Rights are Human Rights” campaign in response to the recent intimidation & assault on PUL culture. Everyone should be free to celebrate their tradition & culture peacefully. No more demonisation. No more discrimination.
Let’s Talk Loyalism will officially launch today.
We will publish an article explaining a little bit about who we are and what we intend to do, and release our first video interview.
We will also launch our brand new website.

KEEP YOUR WORD - LONDONDERRY
Today grassroots Unionism and individual Apprentice Boys signed "Keep Your Word" letters in the Apprentice Boys Memorial Hall.
Signing stations are now being organised across Londonderry and Newbuildings with details being released soon.
The Truth about the “Windsor Framework.”
The Irish Sea Border has not been removed. The Acts of Union have not been repaired. Our place in the Union has not been restored.
Marching bands play a vital part in the DNA of Loyalism.
It's a way of life, a display of pageantry, culture, arts, music and colour. It benefits the economy and tourism.
There are flute, accordion, silver, brass and pipe bands. Whatever your preference, join your local band.
The simple reality of the Protocol/Windsor Framework.
Brought to you by a provocative & antagonistic Irish government, stubborn and vengeful Europe Commission, weak and naive Tory government.
Endorsed by the enemies of Northern Ireland, rejected by those who wish to protect NI.
We crossed the Irish Sea in protest against a customs border within the Irish Sea that unjustly divides the United Kingdom.
The message remains the same. Power-sharing or Protocol; it can’t be both.
Until the Irish Sea Border is removed there is no basis for power-sharing.

@mooreholmes24
speaking on Good Morning Ulster making clear that unless the Irish Sea Border has been removed, there is no basis, or mandate, for a return to Stormont.

Yet it is Orangeism that is facing discrimination, intimidation and attack this evening as another Orange Hall has come under attack.

Statement on behalf of Let’s Talk Loyalism lobby group that attended Leinster House, Dublin today.

For as long as the Protocol is alive, the Belfast Agreement is dead.”

"The message from Unionism and Loyalism is simple and is straightforward, the DUP were given a mandate to stand firm."
Loyalists & Unionists gather in Markethill this evening to sign the ‘Keep Your Word’ letter. Their only ask is that our politicians keep their word, stand by their promises & continue to represent them. A fantastic demonstration this evening of support for Unionism to stand firm.
Let’s Talk Loyalism will be hosting its first Twitter space this evening at 8pm. “Givan” today’s revelations, we could not think of better time to have a chat about what’s going on politically and hear what people have to say about it. Feel free to pop on.

speaks with UTV this evening on the lack of peace dividend afforded to the Unionist community 25 years on from the Belfast Agreement.
If the response from Republicanisn this week has taught us anything, it is that they fear the voice of articulate Loyalism, attacking and dismissing at every opportunity.
Let's Talk Loyalism will continue to be an advocate for Loyalist voices and our community regardless.
Let’s Talk Loyalism statement on DUP.
“The DUP’s refusal to form an Executive in protest against the Northern Ireland Protocol is a position that commands complete support throughout the Loyalist community.”
“Until the Protocol is removed, there is no basis for power-sharing.”
Huge response in East Belfast this evening. Loyalists and Unionists, both young and old, unite in East Belfast calling upon political representatives to keep their word and deliver on their promises.
PUP leader Cllr Russell Watton has signed the ‘Keep Your Word’ letter today. In a statement to Let’s Talk Loyalism he said, “Every politician lives and dies by their word. How can you be trusted if you cannot keep it? All of political unionism must stand firm and keep its word.”
LTL STATEMENT ON BERTIE AHERN’S PATRONISING AND DEROGATORY REMARKS
“Rather than patronising the Loyalist community, perhaps current & former Irish officials would do well to acknowledge the instability that they & others have caused in NI, by creating the Protocol.”
Legitimate protest. Legal protest. Peaceful protest.
All the positive ways people should channel their activism. Still people try to demonise, degrade, and demean. If all the positive, lawful, and legitimate protest avenues are prohibited, what is there left? The Protocol Must Go
The Protocol is incompatible with the Belfast Agreement. Only strong and serious opposition to the Protocol gives Unionism a realistic chance of securing the restoration of our place within the United Kingdom.

Plenty have had their say on the Tigers Bay community this week. Let’s Talk Loyalism caught up with some of the bonfire builders & residents at Tigers Bay yesterday to hear what they had to say. “We don’t build this to show aggression...we just carry on the generations.”
