Too many phoney tributes to Paisley

Listening to the litany of phoney tributes being peddled in the media following the death of Rev Ian Paisley was vomit inducing.

Normally, if I can find nothing positive to say about a political foe at the time of eternal parting I would say nothing at all, but on this occasion I am making a considered exception.

Ian Paisley was a malevolent, nasty, sectarian bigot who led thousands of loyalists down an anti-Catholic cul-de-sac, and then this religious ogre stood by as the lumpen rabble of loyalism engaged in a campaign of random murder of Catholics for decades.
