Ian Paisley to quit as first minister
Ian Paisley, until recently the long standing face of intransigence and bigotry in Britain, now stands down as Northern Ireland's first minister and leader of the DUP, thinking his work done. What does he leave in his wake? Certainly NOT a more united Britain. He congratulates himself on the quieting the demands for a united Ireland, but this is the result of the passage of time and the ascendancy of the European Union but no victory of his.
For many, his was the face of British Unionism. Is it any wonder that Britain disintegrates into smaller and smaller assemblies, when to call oneself a British Unionist, one feared association with this angry, blinkered and bellicose man?
I am grateful to have watched a softening of this man's tone as he approached old age, but I shall not be looking back on his times with any fondness or nostalgia.
Again, don't forget to recommend RueB to your friends.
