James Robbins reports on what the UDA, a legal Protestant paramilitary group, describes as a mobilisation exercise on west Belfast’s Shankill Road and interviews its spokesman Tommy Lyttle. Lyttle claims that 2,500 men have come out on to the streets as part of a mobilisation drill designed to protect Protestant areas from republican attack should violence erupt after Bobby Sands’ death. Robins reports that it is not a military show of strength but a demonstration of support for the UDA; he saw neither weapons nor a military drill.
