The Ulster Volunteer Force and Red Hand Commando issued a stern warning today to both British and Irish governments.
Progressive Unionist Party Spokesperson David Ervine said this afternoon, "Given the present state of the process with no evident possibility for progress, the UVF and the RHC have warned that any attempt by the two governments to impose their will over the heads of the Unionist People will result in the UVF / RHC retreating from all theories of process - peace or political."
He went on, "The UVF/RHC cogniscent of past experiences, namely the Anglo-Irish Agreement, are making the two governmemts aware of what will not be tolerated in the event of collapse. Any plans for the future of Northern Ireland, should and must include representative of the Unionist populace."
