AberdeenBud Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 all three were sell outs. Aye, that's the definitely the main reason for finding them abhorrent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romeo Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 I think I'd have rather stayed unmarried. Said everybody who has ever been married. Anyway good riddance to the most bigoted bigot of them all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LongTimeLurker Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 RIP. Lost the plot on occasions and had some bizarre sky fairy related beliefs but when push came to shove he provided strong leadership when his people faced their darkest hour that prevented the paramilitaries from making any electoral advances on the Unionist side of things. The Troubles could have been much worse without that. For all the people spewing bile on this thread, you may be surprised to find out that he got along very well with Alex Salmond in the House of Commons and the SNP and DUP often cooperated on early day motions as a result.

Savage Henry Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Martin McGuinness has been quoted as saying, "I've lost a friend". Which is odd, because I distinctly remember Paisley and he arguing for a good twenty minutes in Newsnight about the bigoted spelling of his surname.

That and promise eternal damnation for them and those like them. Mostly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose he did level the playing feild in a way. The UK gov forced McGuiness' words to be read out in a stupid and annoying voice on the news and the presence of Paisley meant that normally the unionist side was presented in a stupid, annoying voice too.
