NOT THE BEST, BUT THE WORST....
According to former US Senator George Mitchell, the late David Ervine represented the very best of Northern Ireland, George reckons that Mr Ervine was "a great man", though not a saint.
Right. Fact. Ervine was a convicted terrorist. He was intercepted by the RUC whilst on a bombing mission. He moved into the political mainstream as the Progressive Unionist Party he led became elevated by the manipulations of the British government despite them having virtually no electoral mandate. His colleague, Billy Hutchinson, was a convicted murderer. His mentor, Gusty Spence, was a convicted murderer. You get the drift?
The PUP was and remains is a mouthpiece for the revolting UVF - an organisation which has killed and maimed right across the so-called peace process years. I detail my CLEAR views on the PUP in my book - and I am clear that David Ervine did not represent the best of Northern Ireland and Mitchell is just one more propagandist for depravity. Hundreds of people have been murdered by the terrorist group to which Ervine belonged - and at no time during Ervine's leadership of the PUP did the UVF stop killing, disarm or in any way cease their evil.
I contradict the esteemed Senator - those like David Ervine represent the worst of Northern Ireland.

Mitchell is a notorious liberal twit.
Over here they worship him Daphne - I am one of the very few who dare to criticise George. And delight in it...
David, you would make a fabulous Texan.
