Ian Paisley: good riddance to a vile bigot

by Simon Basketter

- snip -

I came into contact with Paisley myself, just the once. He was protesting outside the Brook Advisory Clinic in the 1990s.

The sexual health clinic’s very existence had managed to unite bigots of all faiths in opposition to it. However, Protestant bigots and Catholic bigots did not protest at the same time—that would be too much. Instead, Paisley was waiting for his turn.

Since it is traditional in an obituary to say something nice, as it turns out Paisley was as bilious and hate-filled in the flesh as in reputation.

The world is a better place without him.

2. I've never believed that someone who runs rip-shod over people/society plus is a hateful,..

... nasty individual who does their best to make the world a worse place is deserving of some phony bullshit "Nice"
words because they are now dead.

They were a lousy Human Being when they were conscience and now that they're dead...they still are a lousy Human Being.
