Proceeding contribution from Ian Jnr Paisley (Democratic Unionist Party) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 19 April 2017. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Ballydugan Four.
Ballydugan Four
My hon. Friend is defining that person in a particular way and I agree totally with his definition, but does he also salute the gallantry of the people who stood up to that beast, and recognise that we won the war that they claimed to be fighting and the freedom they claimed to achieve? Today, we are administering British rule in Northern Ireland. There is no all-Irish state republic. The Brits—us—are still there, and we are not going anywhere else. Their death has at least sealed the fact that it has been a victorious and gallant death.
