Paisley being elevated to the House of Lords in recognition of his work in Ulster politics still remains a surprise and a joke to many people throughout the world that I have spoken to. Now his wife is heading there too ! How could they do this to a man who openly ridiculed the faith of others. It's not only the Catholic church he has a go at. He gives them all a touch. He was lucky to get out of the European Parliment alive when he made a protest against the Pope. Fine example of a member of the House of Lords. So many Ulster Loyalists who visit England hate being called Irish. Remember one I worked with called the English thick for calling him a paddy. The concept of a singular Ulster Protestant identity, defined by its loyalty and Britishness, is fragmented, leading to a plurality of Ulster Protestant identities.
