Mo Mowlam

She did her best to try and sort out Ulster, but failed as everyone does because of the intransigence of both sides.

I never met her, but everybody who did had good words for her except the so-called Reverend Ian Paisley.

"Her battle against illness was faced with bravery and determination and amidst all her health problems she retained her character and personality.

She was, of course, no lover of unionists. Stating that convicted murders were unsung heroes of the peace process caused great offence.

Nevertheless, she did recognise those who were truly unionist, but sadly never faced up to the widespread opposition to the Belfast Agreement.

When the full story of recent years is written one will see just how far the Labour government was prepared to go in appeasing terrorists and thugs.

The unionist cause will continue to achieve its lawful objectives, but my thoughts today are with Mo Mowlam's husband and family."

So we know where he stands.

Whilst on the subject of the vile Protestant bigot, I suggest you look at his web sites at www.ianpaisley.org and www.ianpaisley.org.uk.

If I was a Catholic, I would find what he says very offensive. Just as I find what extremist Muslim sites say about people like me who are Atheists.

Wouldn't it be funny, if a new law to stamp down on religious hatred put Paisley in the dock where he deserves to be for his vile rants?
