Sectarian, undoubtably. Not alone in that in the politics of Northern Ireland.
Racist, not sure where that one comes from.
Homophobic, I know his son was outspoken about this, never knew he was.
Arrogant,he was a politition.
Bigot, someone who is intolerant to those holding different opinions. OK maybe.
Blood on his hands?
I wonder what Northern Ireland would be like without him. Would Blair have just abandoned it as some thought.
I am led to believe his constituents in North Antrim, of whatever persuasion, thought he was a good MP.
If McGuinness, a man with blood on his hands, could see some good in him maybe there was more to him than first glance.
I always thought of him as a larger than life comical character, when I did think of him.
He was obviously a man of deep conviction, his contributions to the peace process cannot be dismissed.
Like him or loathe him, I am in both camps,
