I think you already know the answer to that - yes, there was for some Loyalists, but it was mainly Republicans interned.

The IRA started the Troubles with their bombing campaign - killing thousands, among them innocent women and children. Peace descended when they stopped. Does that say anything to you?

Internment was introduced at a time when the bombing was vicious, it was thought it would curtail their activities and save lives, but it only made things worse. The Loyalists's main way of operating was not with bombs but to shoot mainly innocent Catholics in retaliation, (which is of course wrong), but not killing masses of people including children in restaurants, bars, during fun days out, in the street etc with bombs.

I lived here during it all, I suffered at the hands of the IRA as did thousands of others. I have never once seen you outright condemn them or their official political party, Sinn Fein, (and you are not the only one, tbf) yet you love to criticise the DUP. Is that because they don't like Corbyn, the iRA supporter? Or do you sympathise with them like he does?
