I am pals with 2 SS boys and from what I gather, the SS is basically all Loyalist. I have read the SS book(set from late 70's to 89 or so, as he retired then), and even though he rips into both us and them, he and the rest of his mob in the early 80's definately had a lot more hatred to the beggars than us, and quite a few of them were loyalists. In bands, lodges etc.
