I just heard it on the tv news

[ladybirder]

I can hear his voice now in my head. Once heard never forgotten.

[Baldric]

No rip from me!

[mushroom25]

despite his rhetoric, he had to surrender in the end.

[ladybirder]

He was 88 so not a bad innings by any measure.
He frightened me when he went off on one of his rants.

[dave50]

Just reminds me of Dave Allen's hilarious impression of him.

[ladybirder]

Off to you tube to find if Dave.

This must be it.

[ladybirder]

Sorry

I doubt there will be many tears shed for him.

Perhaps we'll be able to hear now about the role he played in forming the UVF in the late 60s.

Sounds terrible, but I thought he died years ago.

[Baldric]

^^^^
Only his soul!

[2sp_]

Some may argue that he never had a soul, Balders.

[Obiter]

I think that the trouble with Paisley was that he allowed his abiding hatred of the Church of Rome to overcome his common sense. He pandered to the worst extremes of sectarianism. Let's hope this doesn't recur in Scotland, whatever the vote.

[sandyRoe]

Annieasquith, you can't libel the dead. Gusty Spence, and a man called Ken Gibson, and Paisley, were the founders of the re-born UVF.

Jings, is there anything that can be discussed on her just now without it becoming about the Referendum...

;-)

[2sp_]

here, not her.
