William Smith (loyalist)
William "Plum" Smith (sometimes erroneously spelt Smyth) (born 26 January 1954〔William Smith, ''Inside Man, Loyalists of Long Kesh - The Untold Story'', 2014, p. 19〕) is a Northern Irish unionist former paramilitary and politician. He has been involved in Ulster loyalism in various capacities for at least forty years.
==Early life==
Smith was born in Mountjoy Street on Belfast's Shankill Road into a poor Ulster Protestant family of three sisters and a brother. There was rumoured Native American ancestry in his family; therefore in his youth he acquired the lifelong nickname "Plum" after ''The Beano'' character Little Plum.〔Peter Taylor, ''Loyalists'', Bloomsbury, 2000, p. 45〕 He was raised in a working class home where his parents sent him to Sunday school and taught him to respect the law.〔Taylor, ''Loyalists'', p. 46〕 Like many of his contemporaries from similar backgrounds on both sides of the divide, the outbreak of the socio-political\religious conflict that came to be known as the Troubles in 1969 saw him become involved in paramilitarism.
