Can't say I feel anything for the loud-mouthed one.
I remember my mum telling me years ago that he had bought his 'collar' in the post! Probably not true but as catholics, we didn't have many good words for him.
My Twitter is full of people making all these sanctimonious posts about not agreeing with Paisley but having to respect him cause he's dead. Such a nauseating fallacy.
As I said in politics forum he will not go down favourably in Irish history - the arch anti-Irish man of the last 60 odd years ... Some of the reactions I have already heard around here confirm the hatred for what he stood for.

I wonder if it'll be the same when Adams and McGuinness goes? There'll probably be a national day of mourning when those two go.
in all fairness you have to laugh at the young hipster unionists in n.ireland in their 20's, their fathers and grandfathers would have loved auld ian, just look at the crowd here listening to him. http://youtu.be/8zSWlAHD29M?t=17s
They just dislike him because they are very pro homosexuality and what not and they realise that big ian wasn't.
yes i am wrong, it is actually 47% that's in the Irish Republic.
I am talking about the land, not the counties, in terms of counties it is 33%. Donegal is a massive county and Monaghan and Cavan make up the rest of the Irish Republic areas of Ulster
There is nothing to get over. The country is not called Ulster.
Yes but as long as the people were not Catholics.
Yep, N.ireland is even smaller then an Irish Province - the people of Monaghan, Donegal and Cavan are extremely lucky they were not part of Paisleys Orange state ... Simply a state of hatred.

Politics is a dirty game, where you're stabbed in the front at the same time you're stabbed in the back.
Someone will definitely be next ;-)

Dave Allen invented that. Ted Heath's was - The Death.
Yes the fake Ulster, 45% of the real Ulster is in the Irish Republic.
Ian loved Ulster and his heritage.
This. R.I.P big guy.
I think it does if you spell Pansy with an 'e'. For the purpose of getting a laugh (if Dave Allen did come up with it), it's close enough.
It's not often you are right.
But you are wrong again. ^_^
I'm sure plenty of Protestants (certainly a lot who are friends) would like nothing to do with his anti-Irish, anti-Catholic and anti-LGBT bigotry.
Isn't that a quote from "Jesus Christ Superstar" ?
I doubt whether he went gently.

That's 4 deaths in 2 days
