    Paisley: Working-class hero?

    http://www.u.tv/newsroom/indepth.asp?id=70007&pt=n

    Interesting article/press release/quotes/speech (not sure which exactly) from the Doc on why working-class protestants in the north support his party.

    As MP for Ireland's heroin capital and given the prevalence of sectarian, racist drug-dealing paramilitaries in loyalist areas throughout the 6, anybody else think working-class protestants in the north are getting a raw deal?

    They have done for decades. But it appeatrs to suit them to enrich the Paisley family while living in squalor and drug gang run ghettos themselves.

    Paisley is one of the most vile individuals about.

    He has racist, sexist, sectarian, xenophobic, homophobic tendencies. He has a shameful past including abduction of a young girl, associating with known terrorists and drug dealers and inciting to hatred amongst others amongst many other things. The pious and righteousess of the man show him to be clearly suffering some sort of paranoid psychosis.

    I have no time for him whatsoever and I hope he dies in the full knowledge that he has never worked towards anything other than discord.

    If he is as devout as he claims, his death will be a fearful event for him.

    As it should be.
    If I could mass-sterilise the planet, I would. Seriously.

    I'm no Paisley fan, but can you really call him racist, or xenophobic, given that he runs several missions in Africa. Never heard of the "abduction" allegation before. I had a post removed for claiming a certain British M.P who paid youths to wear football kits, and degrade him was a bit dodgy.
