Victory!
The war is not only over but victory has been declared! In an interview published in this morning’s News Letter Dr Paisley claims that Monday was “a day of great victory for the people of Northern Ireland” because Adams will sit in “our Assembly – a British institution of the British state. He will take an oath pledging to support the police, the rule of law and British justice”.
Oh what a brave new world! We have seen “the end of republicanism”. Yes! The Union flag is indeed now flying above Connaolly House! Sinn Fein/IRA no longer believe in a united Ireland!
The fact that Mr Trimble was able to secure half of that “victory” (a place for murderers in the government of Northern Ireland) is ignored but let’s be fair – you cannot take an oath like the one McGuinness will take without accepting the right of the state to exist (cough - Michael Collins)!
Added to that, Dr Paisley highlights the fact that we need to remember, “the pain and suffering that many here endured, and still endure, as a result of the last 30 years”.
What Dr Paisley, unlike Mr Allister, conveniently forgets to remind us of is that the people he sat down with on Monday were directly responsible for a lot of that pain and suffering.

Also very appropriate that the date set for the new government is - 8th May!
This will go down in history as V-NI Day.
Perhaps Dr McGuinness will cross his fingers behind his back. In that case the oath isn't binding. Or so I'm told :0)
You can accept the right of the state to exist without accepting the right of it to exist forever!
No, but it placed him in the same league as a King Charles spaniel.
Do you see the rays comin' from my eye
What could you be friend...
I'm figurin' that's why they call me faithful
'Cause I'm the man of the land

You are fools if you think unionists won all they really have done is invite the enemy inside the gate
Plus this gives the republicans practice at running a government so they are ready when you finally surrender
