	NEWSHOUND: Links to daily newspaper articles about Northern Ireland
		For the authors, the UVF is essentially an autonomous extreme reaction of the loyalist population to Irish nationalism.
		However, to claim as the authors have done that the UVF is a political organisation is horrendous insult to the Catholic population of Northern Ireland and indeed to the many Protestant victims of this vile, disgusting, fanatical, racist organisation.
		The fact that the murderers of Anne Marie Wright were accepted on the UVF wing in the "H" Blocks is conclusive proof that the UVF are based on, and controlled by racist vermin, who are a danger to everyone, especially the British Government to whom they profess such "loyalty".

	When Will We Hear The UVF’s Real Plan? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		But it is obvious from the history of Ulster unionism, including the illegal activities of the first UVF and its subsequent co-option into the state forces, that there has always been a dependant relationship between unionism and the use or threat of extra-parliamentary violence.
		The UVF has also been the driving force behind the most recent feud with the LVF which has resulted in the loss of several lives and a number of individuals being seriously wounded.
		That is, that the UVF might merely be doing a bit of ‘house-keeping’ within loyalist working class areas (indeed, the purge of the LVF in Garnerville appears to have been fairly ‘popular’).

		The Ulster Volunteer Force (UVF) issued a statement, via the offices of Ulster Television, on 15 July 1993.
		The UVF avails itself of this opportunity to state clearly and without reservation that the entire operation was from its conception to its successful conclusion, planned and carried out by our volunteers aided by no outside bodies.
		To suggest that the UVF were not, or are not, capable of operating in the manner outlined in the programme is tempting fate to a dangerous degree."

	BBC NEWS \| Northern Ireland \| Hain says UVF ceasefire is over
		The decision to "specify" the UVF and Red Hand Commando (RHC) was made by Northern Ireland Secretary Peter Hain.

		He said the actions of the UVF in respect of their ongoing feud, along with the attacks against the security forces on 10 and 11 September amounted to a breakdown in their ceasefire.

	Searchlight for Beginners: Sonia Hochfelder and the UVF Death Squads
		Rifkin, Rowe, Evans and Reakes have incurred the displeasure of UVF Brigade Staff over this; not a situation particularly good for the future health and prospects of the individuals concerned – their activity in certain fields, such as politics, revolutionary mobilising of the glorious proletarian masses, eating and breathing may shortly be permanently discontinued.
		That such an obscure group as the CPE-ML appeared in the UVF's sights shortly after Hochfelder began consorting with fascists in late 1974 is hardly coincidental.
		Not until I had publicly made known to the Left her relationship with Brady and speculated in general terms about her 1970's activities in 1993 [39] was a very half-hearted attempt to paint her as an anti-fascist 'mole', with little believable detail.
