"Is this the MPLA?
Angola's 'ruling' left-wing party - always at war with Savimbi's right-wing UNITA (and also now kicking some butt up in Democratic Congo, on Kabila's side, against some Rwandans, funnily enough - miss a week's papers, and the world is strange for evermore).
Is this the UDA?"
Ulster Defence Association, I think. Militant Unionist types.
So the 'And I thought it was the UK' bit is probably making the point that even this first-world mother-of-democracies has a surprising amount of immanent tension and a lot of aggro in the streets ...
