Hmmmm.... Paisley came across as a right wing thug to any reasonably minded person. He was responsible for some unbelievable thuggery in his day.
For example reading out the addresses of Catholic residents on the Shankill to a loyalist mob in 1959.
Probably not massively known in the UK but for me its Micheal Collins - the legendary revolutionary leader.
In his short lifetime (31 years) he fought in the 1916 rebellion, led the war of Irish independence fighting the British Empire to a stalemate, negotiated the first Treaty of Independence for Ireland and overseen its transition to democracy - he created modern Ireland!

Would that be the real Gandhi or the whitewashed mythical Gandhi the west has swallowed since 1948, most notably in Dickie Luvvie's film?.
International - Ghandi
