    You have to laugh at Vincent McKenna on giving it the large one and trying to take some sort of moral high ground when at the same time he was abusing his own daughter and got three years in prison!

    Ian Paisley Snr instigated a lot of violence with his dangerous rhetoric. He has a lot to answer for.

      But it doesn't count in Willie McCreas case there, as Billy Wright clearly stated in this interview that he wasn't a member of the UVF, and I believe him 100%, Billy Hutchinson said it too, a man with the utmost integrity that never committed a sin in his whole life.
