FROM HANSARD
Ian Paisley (North Antrim) (DUP)
May I congratulate the Government on a very successful visit to the United States of America, and on putting the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland at the front of the queue? Does the Secretary of State agree that there is a touch of a double standard here? People from Ulster have been told for decades that they must talk to, and work and be in government with, the most objectionable people, yet they are now being told by the same people that the President of the most democratic country in the world should not come to this country. May I encourage the Secretary of State to ensure that the state visit proceeds? Could he also advise Northern Ireland citizens who hold Irish passports but who are entitled to full British passports on whether they should apply for British passports for ease of travel to the United States?
Boris Johnson
I completely agree with the point that the hon. Gentleman rightly makes. President Trump and his Administration have not, to the best of my knowledge, been engaged in terrorist offences on mainland Britain, unlike those with whom the hon. Gentleman and his party were asked to negotiate.
I'm sorry, did I read that right? Did the British Foreign Secretary just flat out call Sinn Féin terrorists? And/or accuse them of just being the IRA? Lovely how people conveniently forget about the existence of loyalist paramilitaries. They didn't do anything over on the mainland so they aren't real? Bastard Paisley's cut from the same cloth as his evil father who, might I just remind you all, following loyalist attacks on Catholic homes, came out with this gem: "Catholic homes caught fire because they were loaded with petrol bombs; Catholic churches were attacked and burned because they were arsenals and priests handed out sub-machine guns to parishioners." Those same Catholics he believed to be led by "the anti-Christ" (aka the Pope) & who he announced "bred like rabbits & multiplied like vermin".
Slow handclap for Johnson for endorsing Sectarianism AND the loyalist paras AND undermining the legitimacy of the NI Peace Process & Assembly. Maybe the UDF will make him a patron?
What an utter twunt. I just... But then, why am I surprised - Brexiteers don't give a shiny shit about the [in]stability of Northern Ireland. Feckers.
