    An impressive and, it would appear, good man who it always struck me was largely able to bridge the Northern Ireland's religious divide.

    A truly amazing man. Fiercely intelligent and hugely driven. IRA wanted him dead, loyalists hated him too. But he was willing to speak to the vermin in order to achieve peace

    Over the last few years it's been fashionable to bash Corbyn for trying to negotiate with Sinn Fein, yet when an Ulsterman does the same, he's a political hero and a peace prize winner
