The British edition of the Scum takes a different approach.
But a good representation of the attitude of the british establishment towards northern Ireland, they just want to ignore it..

Only the Paddy Sun and Paddy Mail went with McGuinness full on the fonts. Musta been feeling guilty when they saw the Brit editions.

‘Quisling’… what a fupping dipstick; if being opposed to setting off bombs in pubs or burning alive members of the Kennel Club makes me a Quisling, well, colour me Quisling.
Deluded
I guess at its simplest the catholics in Northern Ireland were also British workers.

Such a shame McGuinness’ death wasn’t more painful and prolonged than it was.
He might then have experienced some of the agony of the people he personally tortured.
It’s an easy spin – former Commander of the IRA/ former Deputy First Minister – the Red Sheets are ablaze.
the British editions of he Mail has an interesting cover
