Nationalists endured too much humiliation

PAISLEY'S call for republicans to be 'humiliated', and that they must 'wear sackcloth and ashes', is further proof of the prejudice and sectarianism which unionism is still immersed in.

Nationalists endured too much humiliation

It is also grossly hypocritical of them. However, calls for the humiliation of republicans and nationalists is nothing new. When the nationalist community in the North asked for equal opportunity in jobs, housing and voting, Dr Paisley and his acolytes confronted them at Burntollet and humiliated them.

When nationalists sought protection from the Paisleyites, the ‘B’ Specials and RUC gladly obliged by siding with the forces of bigotry and intolerance and beat them off the streets, thereby inflicting further humiliation on them.
