This morning’s blockade preventing access to and from Nationalist areas of Portadown is believed to be stage two of the five point loyalist battle plan which will culminate on Friday. Stage two will involve blockades being mounted on the Nationalist area and removed again only to be reinstated at lightning notice. Information we have received indicates that the Orange Order strategy has been designed with the intention of forcing the Nationalist community in Portadown into submission through isolation. The DHSS in Portadown have now declared that persons from the Nationalist areas of the town are excused from "signing on" for at least the next two weeks.
