Paisley: the politically incorrect story of a demagogue

I WISH to express my agreement with Donal O’Driscoll (Irish Examiner letters, November 27) concerning Dr Ian Paisley.

It’s about time people started accepting the politically incorrect truth about this man. Paisley has done absolutely nothing to contribute to peace and reconciliation in Northern Ireland despite his supposed Christianity.

He also has a long history of association with violence. In June 1959, a major riot occurred on the Shankill Road in Belfast following a rally he had addressed. He was a founder of Ulster Resistance whose aim was to bring an end to the Anglo-Irish Agreement, if necessary with violent resistance.
