Bigoted man
2:00 – I'm kind of happy that Paisley shouted at a bigger crowd than Trump has ever shouted at, that HAS to be about 100000 people, bending around Royal Avenue, past what we can even see, scary.
Níos fearr le Sinn Féin
Influenced the sinister Oliver Cromwell MacIvor in Leon Uris’ Trinity. Thoroughly awful man.
What a bigot.
He knows the truth now:
Extra Ecclesiam nulla salus.
Cave man.

I lived in Northern Ireland with my x wife a local lassie and I was friends with Dr Ian paisley 😊
Mrs Bunfield Mrs Bunfield!
I liked Paisley's campaign against liberalisation of Northern Ireland's homosexual laws. There was no beating about the bush..the slogan was 'Save Ulster From Sodomy'.
The irony of holding up a sculpture of Thatcher being hung while waving a Union Jack in Northern Ireland is an irony apparently lost on these lads
Catholism is as bad as Islam ani Christian and Anti prodestant and they will fail trust me

Never,never,never
His voice has stuck in my head, like a nail, since the 70s.

A hateful figure who later matured and made peace-fair is dair ,credit is due.

Religion poisons everything.
Hey look it's the man responsible for gaining the PIRA more recruits than anyone else, hope it's warm enough for him down there with tatcher
I so wish he was alive to see the Catholic majority reunite to one Ireland
Look i will never speak ill of the dead, but this man was Vile without hatred be would have remained nothing
He foretold it all
Ulster? I think he means "Ulaidh."
