Willie Frazer in court Monday as Protestant Coalition fractures

‘I think we could reorganise, albeit possibly with a different line-up,’ Willie Frazer says

WILLIE FRAZER, the serial unionist campaigner and ‘Love Ulster’ leader, is due in court on Monday as his new Protestant Coalition party falls apart.

Frazer is accused of breaching tight bail conditions imposed after he was charged with offences relating to the Union flag protests.

It’s less than six weeks since Frazer announced that his new sectarian party would be an “anti-politics party” without a leader – now it has hardly any leaders at all.

Frazer’s absence through illness and being hospitalised has been compounded by his ‘top table’ collapsing, according to Allison Morris in Saturday’s Irish News.

Key figures such as the very effective British National Party fund-raiser Jim Dowson and former UDA-linked Ulster Democratic Party and Ulster Political Research Group spokesperson Davy Nicholl have pulled out.

The continued involvement of Dowson’s daughter, Alice, Woodvale unionist Robert Magee and Tiger’s Bay loyalist Bill Hill is also in doubt.

£700 raised at a function for people charged or jailed from the Union flag protests has reportedly gone missing, according to Allison Morris.

But Willie says he may resurrect his political fortunes with a new name and set-up.

“I think we could reorganise, albeit possibly with a different line-up,” Willie Frazer tells Allison Morris. But will Willie be well enough to be at the helm again?
