RIP Ian Paisley

[ICantSpellDawg]

Paisley did nothing to promote peace in Northern Ireland.

Technically, he did a bit to promote self-rule - which is to promote peace. The main opposition of the Republicans was based on the cause of self-government.
The culture and religion of your neighbors cannot be your concern, only the fact that they are traitors with a foreign allegiance.

Many modern Unionists are less adamant British subjects and are more able to recognize the need for self-rule as Northern Irishmen. Hopefully, they will drop the Union BS and NI can become a sovereign state - even if they are not attached to the Republic; maybe like an Andorra or something, sovereign but clearly in the orbit of both France and Spain.
