"I think the Prime Minister is right or he wouldn't be Prime Minister", a quote we can all agree that has aged well.
Really interesting to hear how he viewed back then
To me he was the instigator of hatred that cost many a life in the six county's and should be remembered for that not a peace maker his voice was worse than a thousand bullets ever fired by a unionist gun

I completely agree with you, he was the cause of many innocent people losing their lives, and families being burnt of their homes, he brought nothing but evil, warped minded, just like his cousin Trump, only cared for himself
To be fair to Paisley he had the wisdom of forethought in that he knew of the dangers to his community and people by allowing the influence of said people to wane. That said the Protestant domination of the 6 counties through discrimination was abhorrent.
hahaha , at 1:40 there caught my surname as also the name of a church there, nice one.
He was in Cork years back giving a talk. Chuckling away on the radio as well. Man was a demon but strangely treated his own Catholic constituents well.

He separated his religious side from his duties as an MP, which I think is impressive for a man who threw as much mud at the Pope as Dr Paisley did.

That’s one of the reasons they never took him out ,along with the fact he openly advertised what the loyalists were thinking and plotting.
