Ian Paisley has died.

I would make comment but I was always told not to speak ill of the dead.

I propose a march. He'd have liked that.
RIP

I fear for this thread

It won't affect the Unionist Party much as they still have ultra hardcore Unionists left.

I wonder will the usual coffin followers on here be mourning his death?, or "deeply saddened" as when a z list celeb kicks the bucket.

I's never 'too soon' to have a go at Ian Paisley.

Good.

whippet · 12-09-2014 12:41PM

he was in my list of the top three people i'd have loved to have a pint with. I'd say he had some stories to tell.

As for his young fella .....

I'd say it will be mostly a mix of decent people paying respects regardless of their opinion and a load of keyboard warriors starting off an online war of words.

recylingbin · 12-09-2014 12:42PM

Always thought it would look better spelled Paisly.
Just me?

How does one become a 'coffin follower'?

Especially one over the interwebz?

He was a man for his time; say what you like about him, he made the Peace Process possible.

What I can't understand is that back in the 90's he was all "No, no, no, no, no!" and then one day he changed his tune to "Yeah, ok." Totally inexplicable. Guess we'll have to wait for the release of the state papers in 30 or so years.

RIP.

tonyduggan · 12-09-2014 12:42PM

Off to hell with him. Pig of a man

BobbyPropane · 12-09-2014 12:43PM

The cause of much of the hatred in NI. An absolute snake of a man.

Thankfully in latter years he supported the the peace process so for that I say RIP

stefan idiot jones · 12-09-2014 12:43PM

Has he?

touts · 12-09-2014 12:43PM

RIP. Will he be remembered as a peace maker or a bigot. Hard to tell.

Ulster says, '...'.

seamus · 12-09-2014 12:44PM

Hopefully.

squeekyduck · 12-09-2014 12:44PM

I got a message pop up but I cannot see anything on RTE or BBC

recylingbin · 12-09-2014 12:44PM

Can we make this the official thread please

MightyMandarin · 12-09-2014 12:44PM

"Neverrrrrr!"

TheDoc · 12-09-2014 12:44PM

Yup News talk broke it and talking about it now.

He's fine.

He's coming round for some tinnies later on.

anncoates · 12-09-2014 12:44PM

I'll not bother with any insincere homilies about him 'making the peace process possible' when a peace process wouldn't have been required in the first place if not for him and others of his ilk.
