Do you think the Guardian would say something similar abut Gerry Adams and the IRA?
The Guardian is a freak show.
Gerry Adams is a murdering monster (Jean McConville!) who belongs dead and buried with that poor mother of what? 12? Or something? A man who knew that his brother was raping his children and said NOTHING? Don’t get me started. And don’t bring your anti-Catholic crap into this. Adams is a vile Marxist monster with no religion.
Paisley encouraged and helped the vicious murders of the 1960s. I was tuned into that particular freak show and have a very long memory.
Ian Paisley was an amazing figure in his ability to build his political party from a little one into the ruling party.
Menachem Begin did a similar thing in Israel with a bad image and reputation in his early days just like Paisley.
Then he built coalitions that became the Likud Party and Begin became the leader of his nation.
I have a picture autographed by Ian Paisley in my attic.
