In the end, Paisley and McGuinness did the right thing and made peace with one another and set the stage for a peaceful, stable Northern Ireland based on mutual respect and letting go of the painful past.
Lovely reply. Still scary men with that accent!
No one told me!
He wised up toward the end. Fair play, Rest In Peace 🇮🇪🤝🇬🇧
Age mellows people,,,and big back handers.
@@mauriceosullivan6832away n back hander yer own face
Wise up dont call yourself a republican your nothing but a sellout like the rest of them spouting that shite the man hated us as we did him and his kind and no i dont mean Protestant's i mean hate filled ignorant bigots, he probably turned on his heel knowing he wasn't getting any younger but that doesn't excuse the vile troll, the failure of a man he was
No allegiance to a foreign king!
If he opposed Catholic Civil Rights, then how the hell was he a peacemaker!?!
Adam Glennane to allow his people to live!
@@sophiehawthorne9074 his people? His people belong in the so called main land
I detested the man with a passion during the war but in the end he turned to peace and peaceful ways, Him and Martin were the worst of enemies who became good friends hence the name Chuckle Brothers, They never stopped slagging each other and joking till the end. If those two can find peace then we all can.. RIP Ian thanks for being a man and for making peace with your biggest enemy..
OK YOU MAKE THEM SOUND LIKE THE MARKS BROTHERS! GLAD THEY WERE HAVING FUN AND BEING PAID TO CONFOUND,
He was a man who stood up for his own people in difficult times - for that he deserves respect. Of course the haters are just going to hate him regardless.
R.I.P. Dr. Paisley.
Sally Smith ...he' s already stay with Judas Iscariot
He hated the catholic community in Northern Ireland and he interrupted the European Parliament in 1988 and called the pope an antichrist, I know he mellowed in later years for the good of all communities in NI but he had very bigoted views for a long time.
He tried to suppress the other community and Paisley voiced hate
God bless The Republic of Ireland!!!
God bless Great Britain!!!
🇨🇮🇬🇧❤❤.
Only love can truly save us!!!!!!
Are you drunk?
@@alanbbrady8196 Move on.
What about the north of Ireland, you only said the Republic of Ireland and Britain what about them
@@mikehanlon530 North of Ireland is part of great Britain or ehhh UK!!
God bless North of Ireland then🙈🇬🇧🇮🇪
@@nelvaldo.4850 yes test nice god bless them but wouldn't freedom be nice for for Ireland just like Ukraine. Ireland likes freedom.
Top tier bantermaster. Sorely missed.
I was once on a regeneration board for the Coleraine region of N. Ireland. We once had Ian Paisley visit us. I was pleasantly taken back at how he different he was in private, compared to how he was portrayed in the media. A modest, caring, listening and intelligent man.
And yet that public persona led to the deaths of thousands. He may have turned to peace at the end, but he was responsible for starting the war in the first place. I truly hope at the end, he was sorry for what he put both communities through with his need for power and respect. If not, then the place he spoke of in the pulpit about punishment shall be his then
a man that truely lives/lved up to the memory ... of TRUTH ... Great life , troubled , but ulimately .. bright ...............SUN LIGHT.
At least he wised up towards the end.
the life peerage also helped lol
Still, don't undo all the hateful things he did.
HE GOT A LIFE PEERAGE! Ha ... funnier still!
may he rest in peace
It would be fitting if he discovered that there really is a Purgatory, and he will have to spend aeons there to atone for his mortal (big) sins.
They negotiated, and talked and fought and argued and laughed and probably cried... but in the end they got in the same room and we are so far along the road to peace that going back is unthinkable.
He was the best recruitment tool for the IRA, why do you think they never targeted him?
Pretty sure they did and are you implying all their "targets" were legit? They killed and tortured innocent people and killed women and children.
A peacemaker?
Try " uncompromising narcissist"
No..
RIP King
God bless Ian Paisley. We could sure use this man today. No compromise on the Gospel.
Or, you're interpretation of the Gospels.......
@@alanbbrady8196 As opposed to yours?
I always wanted his voice on my satnav.
thats the funniest comment in a while so it is.
Still looked good right to the end with his huge frame and chiselled jaw.
TOSSER
Paisley supported the Good Friday Agreement when he was on top.
Otherwise the outright opposite.
Never ever ever never 2022… the tables turn
a peacemaker ? Dr no ? Dr never ?
I had lunch with him in August 2001, he was a kind person.
I should care for cheddar cheese and pineapple on a stick
i aint irish but he did spit on the pope, and called him the antichrist. i dont know how "civilised" or "great" a man is who doesnt respect or want to see the other's point of view
Which is true
Because not everyone is a Catholic
@@foundationgamer9771 im not a catholic either im a protestant. Yet i still wouldnt disrespect other's beliefs
@@codboss7092 We do live a society of free speech.
@@foundationgamer9771 you dont say. I never said it should be illegal. That doesnt mean that disrespecting people is something acceptable. Its one thing to disagree with someone or an ideology and voice it but throwing insults and behaving like an animal is something else. People who can show no respect should get no respect
My nan would have one word 'EEJITS'.
So farewell then Ian Paisley, die-hard Ulster Unionist and demagogue turned "Chucklebrother." "NEVER!" That was your oft-repeated catchphrase. Perhaps, as things turned out, it should have been more prudently replaced with "MAYBE!" and then "OH WELL, OKAY THEN."
Lol, E J Nemo, age 17 1/2
A great man
Well, I know what the IRA advocates think of him. How about the Protestants? Unionists? Did he help Northern Ireland, or hurt it? I am from New York City, and not Irish, but I have followed the story of the troubles since the 1980s. Enlighten me.
A lot of people would blame him as partly responsible for the decades of violence as he stoked up anti catholic hatred and paranoia amongst protestants in Northern Ireland that led to catholics being attacked by protestant mobs and driven out of their homes which in turn led to the birth of the provisional IRA and the continued violence brought down the protestant run government of Northern Ireland. In many ways he was most responsible for destroying the protestant rule there and he completely undermined it by opposing any efforts to give Catholics better conditions. So in an odd way he did he own community the most harm as he lost them power,
Olly There's a lot of truth in that; I remember discussing Paisley with some lads from Dublin a good few years ago and I was expecting an outburst of hate but actually they said he was a gift to the nationalists, with a bit of panto thrown in for good measure!
It's better known as Celtic F.C.
***** Probably IRA "supporters" would be a more apt phrase in this case, than "fans," which is normally associated with sports and music stars etc. I guess you dare asking what is the significance of this man for IRA supporters? The significance is that he helped to create a lot of them. You may or may not ne aware but there was actually a Civil Rights movement in Northern Ireland during Paisley's early career; it was created to represent the Irish Nationalist predominantly catholic community (the original indigenous population I might add) who had been subjugated and repressed by the Unionist protestants to the extent that they were unable to have access to council housing, proper schooling, and many avenues of employment had been closed to them. They even had fewer voting rights, and the electoral boundaries had been moved and rigged by the Unionists in such a way as to ensure that Nationalist candidates would have no chance of gaining a majority in the NI Assembly. I recall an interview in which Paisley, by then a prominent figure if not leader of the Unionists, was pressed on this and he refused to acknowledge the grievances of the Nationalis catholic community; he also maintained that they should have less voting rights. Set against this background, the Civil Rights movement hit the buffers and went up in smoke; when the smoke cleared there was standing a man in black carrying an Armalite rifle, and the rest was history...
a shit stirring rabble rousing trouble making hate filled rotten bigoted racist shite bag
I wouldn't normally celebrate someone's death , BUT ........................
Northern Irelands biggest mouth 😱
Rest in peace, hero.
Politics and preaching dont mix well!
Ascended Master
I love this man....brave man of God
No rude words allowed
Oscar Rivera
You deleted my comment because you saw multiple people agreed with me . Rude words? I suggest you research this evil piece of bigoted trashes quotes regarding Irish and Catholics , He caused a lot of the tension in Northern Ireland many deaths attributed to him . I think Ted Bundy has a better chance of seeing heaven .
Ok man thats your right to xpress in that way but not bad words in my channel please.
The agitator of hate during the troubles.... this man was all about hate... nothing more.....
Devil and sectarian bigot.
is peaca é bás duine éigin a cheiliúradh, ach an uair seo….
Ireland says YESSSSSSSS!!!!!
No Surrender!!!!
Patrick McGuire UP THE RA🇮🇪
Patrick McGuire it’s not a scary thing🙂
Be a mccracken not a paisley -me
Yay!!!

He honestly reminds me of Hitler.
Sure is hot where he is going
God Save the Queen.
Well he didn't.
Rest in peace, Ian Paisley. Perhaps God didn't want you to have to live to see Great Britain destroyed tomorrow (assuming a Yes vote).
He won't see United Ireland sad it's happening very soon.
@@RobertK1993 united Ireland is not happening soon
@@RobertK1993 United Ireland would mean economic and social collapse with undoubtedly another wave of conflict. Bizarre to think anybody supposedly wants one.
he made lots of money out of the irish conflict and his negative religion
Aggressive accents all of them.
the pope did this
👑👢😋
Happy Birthday 'BIG MAN'!
Don't be giving out to St.Peter.🤣☘
Paisley wanted blood, he did get it.
Ian Paisley was a vile human being. His pronouncements caused deaths, countless deaths. His religion, his sense of isolationist nationhood, his view of Biblical inerrancy was a validation to the utter, abyssmal ignorance of those who followed him, to those who hung on his words and acted upon his words. It matters not that Bertie Ahern shared a graveside moment of prayer with him. Because Paisley’s prayers were prayers of hate.
Just like Adams’ prayers were prayers of hate wrapped in polemic. Wrapped in idealised romantic nationalism.
It all meant that their thoughts led to innocents being wrapped in the cerements of the grave.
Exactly right. Well said.
Godbless you Reverend Paisley: enjoy heaven, you've earned it.
🇬🇧 Union forever
@F. Murphy Yes, its clearly a statement of its longevity.
R.I.P. Mr.Paisley! Things do change but not God and his laws. In a future time the Catholic Church and their terrorists and such will be all gone for good. May you return with Christ to being truth and justice to the world!
Truth🙌🏻
If only the geographical landmass of Ireland didn’t exist
It'sTaite wats wrong with Ireland. It’s Northern Ireland that shouldn’t exist even tho I live here myself
Northern Ireland's George Wallace?
WATP 🇬🇧
So are we😂
You are a dirty Hun
Maybe Satan's little nephew made it to Heaven since he was a peacemaker and all, ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
He always made me laugh did Big Ian, better by far than most comedians.God bless him.
finally dead!!!!
I love this man....brave man of God
