Ian Paisley dead

I remember hearing him rant & rave all those years ago during the Troubles.
Never did I imagine him coming to an agreement with Sinn Fein and leading a joint government. Truly amazing.
Just shows that anything is possible. And something that we should acknowledge Tony Blair for as well.

Those Irish & Scottish protestants are every bit as extreme in their ideology as almost anything you can imagine. It would be interesting to know if there is any correlation in the Scottish Yes/No campaigns with the Protestant/Catholic divide. The bitterness that sometimes shows up in the Celtic/ Rangers football crowds is amazing.

Know the enemies of a civil society by their public behaviour, by their fraudulent claim to be liberal-progressive, by their propensity to lie and, above all, by their attachment to authoritarianism.
