"Gillian" I don't know why you have chosen to grace this particular thread with your erroneous certainties of what is "right" and "wrong"
It may well be that you see a logical connection between the spurious "patriotism" of the so-called "loyalists" and the BNP, both of whose "nationalism" is based upon a hatred of their fellow-men of a different colour or creed.

I also don't know why you have chosen to single myself out of the many who so obviously do not agree with your narrow bigoted outlook, and make assumptions and call me names when you know absolutely nothing about me.

Let me tell you a little more -

I have no respect for the self-styled "Doctor" and "Reverend" * whose hatred of his fellow (Catholic) Christians is infamous and who has sought to make homosexuality illegal. Neither do I feel any different about anyone who abandoned the party of the peace process to jump upon his political bandwagon.

* Ian Paisley - from Wikipedia "He undertook theological training at the fundamentalist Barry School of Evangelism (eventually renamed the South Wales Bible college), and later, for a year, at the Reformed Presbyterian Theological Hall in Belfast, though he graduated from neither.

In 1946 he was ordained, in a ceremony at the independent Ravenhill Evangelical Mission Church on the Ravenhill Road in Belfast, by four ministers from four different denominations whose ecclesiastical authority from their churches to ordain is disputed. A common mistake is the assumption that Ian Paisley personally led an exodus from the mainstream Presbyterian Church in Ireland (the largest Protestant denomination in Northern Ireland). Ian Paisley was never a member of that church, and was never one of its ministers. He is a member of the loyalist Apprentice Boys of Derry. He is a former member of theOrange Order. He resigned from it in 1962 in protest at the failure to discipline a senior member for attending the Roman Catholic Mass. He addresses the annual gathering of the Independent Orange Order every Twelfth of July.

Paisley's use of the title 'Dr.' derives from an honorary Doctor of Divinity degree awarded by the unaccredited Christian college named Bob Jones University in Greenville, South Carolina. Bob Jones, Jr. was a close personal friend and a co-leader with Ian Paisley in the international Fundamentalist movement, and Paisley continues to maintain a friendly relationship with the institution"
