A bit late and perhaps a bit out of time, but this speech from the Rev Ian Paisley is an extraordinary piece of Old Testament rhetoric; hugely impressive in it’s dramatic scope, but not entirely squaring with the newer image of the Robinson/Dodds DUP:
“For us there is no discharge in this war. It is a battle to the death. Until the blood soaked murderous beast of Republican terrorism and all other terrorists is put forever in the cage of destruction and death there can be no peaceful future for us.”
We are reader supported. Donate to keep Slugger lit!
For over 20 years, Slugger has been an independent place for debate and new ideas. We have published over 40,000 posts and over one and a half million comments on the site. Each month we have over 70,000 readers. All this we have accomplished with only volunteers we have never had any paid staff.
Slugger does not receive any funding, and we respect our readers, so we will never run intrusive ads or sponsored posts. Instead, we are reader-supported. Help us keep Slugger independent by becoming a friend of Slugger. While we run a tight ship and no one gets paid to write, we need money to help us cover our costs.
If you like what we do, we are asking you to consider giving a monthly donation of any amount, or you can give a one-off donation. Any amount is appreciated.
