Ken Kerr
Kenneth Jason Kerr, known as "Ken", is a Northern Irish loyalist activist. He was a leading figure within the Ulster Defence Association (UDA) and its political wing, the Ulster Loyalist Democratic Party. He was also central to a series of allegations regarding collusion between the British security forces and loyalist paramilitaries.
==Ulster Defence Association==
In his youth Kerr served in the British Army before joining the UDA.〔Sean McPhilemy, ''The Committee: Political Assassination in Northern Ireland'', Roberts Rinehart, 1999, p. 388〕 He served as Brigadier of the UDA's "Londonderry and North Antrim Brigade", and as such was a member of the movement's Inner Council.〔Steve Bruce "Unionism Among the Paramilitaries", Ronnie Hanna, ''The Union: Essays on Ireland and the British Connection'', Colourpoint Books, 2001, p. 76〕 In this role he succeeded Andy Robinson, who fled his position in 1986.〔(Security force members 'may have colluded in Derry killing' )〕〔(Innocent man's son demands answers ), ''Londonderry Sentinel''〕 Like South Belfast brigadier John McMichael, Kerr also became involved in the UDA's political arm the Ulster Loyalist Democratic Party and following the killing of McMichael in 1987 Kerr served for a time as chairman of the party.〔 This role was soon filled on a more permanent basis by Ray Smallwoods. Kerr's reign had never been likely to last long as the brigade he commanded was one of the UDA's weakest and he was not personally popular within the movement.〔
