    The one thing that really annoys a lot of people about Unionists, in a similar way to Thatcher, is that they are prone to self-righteous condemnation while having their own skeletons in the closet and enough blood on their own hands. I wonder though how much this attack was sectarian and how much of it was based around hatred of anyone or anything "strange"- would he have also been happy trying to murder a Romanian Evangelical for instance?

    The fact that is man found a political home in the DUP raises serious questions about the party.

    This isn't even the best story out of the North today. The rebuff of the DUP by the RBL I thought was a far more worthy topic of debate.

    Not to mention also in todays news,
    the DUPs Paul Givan having to apoologise to the former ombudsman Nula O Loan and settling for a five figure sum, after a row with her on a UTV pregame,
    But the best bit of all, the costs were all covered by insurance provided free of charge by Stormont.

    That was a massive embarrassment for the DUP alright, the RBL were basically saying stop using british military dead as a political football.

    Good, another potential murderer of our streets. Only place for people who still believe in bombing people into submission.

    I'm confused. What do his mental health issues have to do with his allowing pipe bombs to be made in his house? SMH.

    Thankfully this man is off the streets. On another note, as a non-biased observer it's equally annoying to see Republicans hold their party above that of the DUP when many representatives involved in both have shady histories to put it lightly.
