Mr. Paisley has suggested that every secretary of state since direct rule,
and indeed every Ulster Unionist leader over an even longer period, should
`pack their bags'. Such calls are part of the ritual of politics here, and
are seldom taken seriously beyond the ranks of the DUP.

that of January 1969 when in fact it is the ultimate display of unionist
bigotry.
Letter to the Irish News on the loyalist `long march'

It is disgraceful that this visit has been allowed by the Department of
Foreign Affairs. This British warship is not welcome in Dublin. The visit,

Finucane, I informed Special Branch on two occasions by telephone that a

who was to be shot.

Panorama, Sir Ronnie Flanagan, trying to keep it - is not a pretty sight.
