d it is good to see someone like Sammy Wilson who I have never

clothes on.

The Ku Klux Klan of Northern Ireland outdid themselves on
Wednesday night. Under the cover of darkness, they burned nine
Catholic churches in a vitriolic outburst of naked bigotry and
hatred... Their concerted attack on Catholics, one of the worst
examples of sectarian violence witnessed for a long time, would
leave even the white terrorists of America's deep south
open-mouthed with disbelief.

Look at the Japanese and the Germans, they were our enemies. They
now own our car industry. Look at the Argentines, they were our
enemies in the Falklands. And they beat us in the last kick of
the game in the World Cup. I told people that we would get
beaten. God has come to the limit of his endurance and raised up
our enemies to rule over us. We have turned away from the Bible,
with false days of the week, a false year and a false saviour.
