A great man has passed away.
He resisted the murderous IRA for decades until they finally accepted that democracy was the only way to achieve their goal.
Martin McGuinness has recognised that today in his fulsome praise of his once foe who became a friend.
A remarkable man who served Protestants well in the North and, of course,ultimately defeated theIRA without having to bomb or kill anyone.
United Ireland my arse.
Even Catholics in the North don’t want a united Ireland having seen what a mess the muppets down here have made of it.
Had the pleasure of shaking his hand only a few years ago – a treasured memory.
your simplistic view is mind boggling. I have personally seen this bigot orchestra the removal and beating of catholics. So your right, no bombs, just terror and hatred
And there it is. All the fuel ever needed. Lets hope its the begining of the end of all the hate in The North.
Your attempt at an obituary is so off the mark, I’m sure Ian is looking up at you now having a good chuckle to himself!
Compare the Sunningdale Agreement – 1973 – with the Good Friday Agreement, you will see that this gombeen extended the Troubles and cost many Irish people their lives.
He will not be missed.
The only people who cost lives were the terrorists and the British Army.
Paisley used the power of speech as his weapon and prevented the murderous IRA scum from any legitimacy until they agreec a peaceful path.
Paisley was feared and admired by all sides which is what majde him so effective.
Like Thatcher,Major,Blair,Bertie and Adams/McGuinness his contribution to today’s peace in NI was immense.
He was the IRA’s greatest recruiting tool.
He single handely extended the troubles by years, acted as the greatest recruitment agent that the (then dying) IRA could ever have wished for ever and showed his true biggoted colours by protesting against what were simply equal rights advocates. Hungry land grabbing family that just never belonged here. There’s a dying breed thankfully and by that I dont mean Ulster Scots Protestants, what I mean is Self Righteous, Bible bashing, backward thinking, fear inciting bigoted evil people.
‘Facts’ are just unnecessary luxury to you, arent they?
@Flashman
“Like Thatcher,Major,Blair,Bertie and Adams/McGuinness his contribution to today’s peace in NI was immense.”
You lost me when you included Thatcher in your list. She and Paisley were of the same ilk, neither was a peace maker.
I’ll just leave this here, bear in mind this is in 1966 – ‘Peter Ward and John Scullion were not the only victims of the UVF terror that June. On the day when Spence, Williamson and McClean were arrested, Mrs. Matilda Gould, a 70-year-old widow, died in hospital. She had been severely burned seven weeks earlier when a petrol-bomb was thrown into her home in Upper Charleville Street, between Shankill Road and Crumlin Road. Mrs. Gould, a Protestant, lived next to a public house owned by Catholics. The petrol-bomb which caused her death was intended for them …When Hugh Arnold McClean was charged and cautioned in Brown Square police station on the night of his arrest, he was reported to have said: “I am sorry I ever heard of that man Paisley or decided to follow him.”‘Holy War in Belfast, Andrew Boyd (1969)
what class of a gobshite do we have here?
A narccissist who betrayed his own bigoted hate filled bile so he could get the big job at the end..Laughing out the other side of his mouth at his former colleges..
Good riddance!
First Scotland, now this, OO will be having a meltdown.
Ulster says no flowers please.
Flowers welcome but no pot pourri
‘Peacemaker’ won’t be appearing in any of his obituaries.
Pacemaker maybe.
He was in later years.
Death bed amends count for f’all in my book. just sayin’
He preached hate, that I’ll remember.
Would happily stamp the dirt down.
Does that make this a “Good Friday”?
:) it just got better!
Agreed.
A man wholly committed to maintaining a status quo of inequality, discrimination, subjugation, distrust and humiliation. He joins Thatcher in the seventh circle of Hell.
Just like Enda Kenny.
Stop being an idiot. This has nothing to do with Enda Kenny.
Ah no, he’ll make it to heaven alright. Just not the Catholic one.

ulster says YUSSSS!!!
Sad for his family n all but always funny reading obituaries of abhorrent human beings, “now at peace”… after a life consumer by anger and hatred
Rosary at 8pm in Our Lady’s Ballymena.
*Consumed
the man was dedicated to his cause as Gerry and Martin were to their cause. And, like the IRA boys, he also sold his soul and sat down with the enemy. Rarely a photo in recent times of him and Martin not rolling around the place laughing. The man had a lot of faults but he was also a nice man. I met him many times as a child as he was friends of a relative of mine. History will probably not be as kind to him as it will be to the shinners and haters on here will hate and hate hard but I’ll miss him as will his family. People on here will see him as a dinosaur, a bigot, a symbol of times past. But so are Gerry and Martin. PAisley was, above all, an ulster nationalist and God bless him for it.
Why on earth is being an ulster nationalist a good thing? You can love your country/county without spending most of your efforts making sure 50% of the population aren’t afforded basic human rights.
I don’t think god will bless him for it, he’ll probably remind him of the whole ‘love thy neighbour’ thing.

You’re right of course, he was a gentleman but his public side was, perhaps necessarily, almost a caricature. He gave his catholic constituents the same respect and representation as he gave protestants but that’s not going to get told much here.
He was a bigot who looked after Catholic constituents. The religion (tribe as I see it) of his fellow man should not have an issue at any time.
seriously. shut the fupp
he was right about j.p.2 though
a stopped clock is right twice a day
does anyone have Peter Andre`s reaction to this news?
Sources close to Mr Andre say that on hearing of Dr Paisley’s death, he emitted a brokenhearted moan, before muttering something about “…mysterious…” and wanting to “hold your body close to mine”. It is presumed that Mr Andre was expressing his wish for a final embrace with the former DUP leader, who “mysteriously” agreed to powersharing with Sinn Féin, after a lifetime of intransigence.
NO NO NO NO NO
I think we should all observe a minutes roaring.
Ulster says noooooooooooo yes
So long to the Bigot-turned-nice-guy. He was a total prick for decades, but made a humane effort towards the end when he felt the chilly hands of death approaching. What a Christian!
So you would prefer that he just remained a bigot his whole life instead of changing his view and representing and embracing a broader political landscape.
Personally, I admire someone who can change strongly held beliefs for the better but there you go.
I commend him in ending his hateful behavior, but it doesn’t out weigh the decades of damage he did.

I stopped punching a guy once. Shower me in praise!

Let us not forget that politics aside, the man was a raging Bigot!
A great man who called out John Paul II for the antichrist he clearly was. All his other faults will be forgiven by history.
I would have liked him to survive to see the UK dismantled by his Scottish cousins. One more week is all it would have taken.
lol

Let the revisionism begin!
Him and Joan Rivers, together in heaven. x
And Albert corralling them into a slow dance.
hilarious to read the usual free state one-sided poor wee us oppressed for years Sunday Boring Sunday Take that Omagh blah blah blah. Both sides were bigots, both sides were murderers, both sides extended the troubles for years, both sides sat down and worked together and ended it all. That’s the legacy that those who lived with it will remember.
In South Africa, were both sides bigots?
It is nice that you live in a world where there are only bad guys. The rest of us can use judgement to figure out that the blokes with the power and guns and oppressive laws are usually the bad guys.
what?
Seriously, you really dont believe that gerrymandering occurred and that Catholics suffered institutional discrimination? Say what you want about the IRA and Adams/McGuinness but to suggest that the ordinary catholic citizens in the North either didn’t suffer such discrimination or that they deserved it, is to admit you have your head in the sand or that you’re a bigot.
you are a prize idiot
Except the Doc let everyone else do the talking, negotiating and when they had some sort of solution, he happily took power. He did not make one positive contribution in ending the troubles and never acknowledged that his carry on was part of starting it.
Am turning off the tv, radio & internet for next few days.
Both sides may well have been bigots, murderers etc., but Paisley is the topic here so that is completely irrelevant.
I liked his shoutiness
I liked that black Russian General type hat he wore
And all in all Great news. A whole new Good Friday is one us.
Off now to set a bona’ to celebrate
i liked the way he gave a wee whistle every time pronounced an ‘s’ sound.
hateful man though.
The Old Grey Whistle Beast
One of the greatest Irish orators of the 20th century. Goodbye big maaan.
Aye,he was spell-binding.
Paisley,Tony Benn and Arthur Scargill were the greatest public speakers I ever witnessed.
Tony Benn was in a league of his own.
So long to a big bundle of hatred.
Scargill’s not dead yet.
