RIP Ian Paisley

Ian Paisley has died aged 88, this morning.

The former leader of the DUP, He played a major part in the current peace that exists in N. Ireland, becoming First Minister in 2007, sharing power with Sinn Fein.
Politics aside, I used to love hearing him on the news. Big, big man, full of fire and conviction.

He is survived by his wife and five children.

"The road to Good Intentions be paved with Hell"

Not sure what to make of this one Man of principle but how long did that stop the peace in Northern Ireland from becoming a reality as it was today

In the end, that peace process needed him and Sinn Fein IRA to work together. He did his bit, when the time came. I can't think of a appropriate Biblical allusion just now.

RIP to RIP

Whatever your views, one of the mighty old guards gone.

worshipped my many....hated by many........did the right thing in the end

Massive character - puts the insipid Camerons and Milibands to shame.
