…in the course of expressing his sentiments on the death of Martin McGuinness.
I’m just pleased that the world is a sweeter and cleaner place now. He was not only a multi-murderer, he was a coward. He knew that the IRA were defeated because British intelligence had penetrated right the way up to the Army Council and that the end was coming. He then sought to save his own skin and he knew that it was likely he would be charged before long with several murders which he had personally committed and he decided that the only thing to do was to opt for peace. He claimed to be a Roman Catholic. I hope that his beliefs turn out to be true and he’ll be parked in a particularly hot and unpleasant corner of hell for the rest of eternity.

No Roman Catholic would dare judge another’s soul at the moment of death. But Lord Tebbit thinks he can.

What a blackened heart this bigot must have

His wife was paralysed for life by the IRA. He is not a bigot. He expressed great distaste for Ian Paisley as well. He believes that there should have been no compromise with paramilitary groups and individuals who use violence to achieve political ends. You may think this is misguided or shortsighted but it is a principled position.

Not a bigot please don’t insult our intelligence, he just hopes Martin Magennis is burning in hell. Hardly a Christian point of view, he was always the same a bitter and twisted old man who cannot move on

If you knew that the leader of a criminal organisation which had murdered friends of yours and crippled your wife was being exonerated and raised high by the world without a word of repentance you too might yearn for justice at the hands of the Almighty.

Oh excuse my ignorance I had no idea Martin McGuinness had been found guilty of the Brighton bombing too, in that case he must deserve hell in the same way that take glorious British Justice system found the Birmingham 4 guilty

Also do not forget that an organisation, the British army, murdered his friends and crippled them in Derry on Bloody Sunday innocent people out protesting for civil liberties, denied them by the British government while they were supposedly British subjects
March 24, 2017 at 8:45 pm
Any yet Martin McGuinness still managed to extend his hand in friendship to his “”enemies” unlike Mr Tebbitt
March 24, 2017 at 9:57 pm
Well, he is morally guilty of the Brighton bombing surely? He led the organisation responsible, he never expressed regret or repentance for its campaign of violence. Lord Tebbitt clearly disapproves of the intransigence of the Unionist politicians who abused the structures of government in Northern Ireland to deny Catholics their civil rights and refused to share power with them. It would be odd to suppose UK politicians desired the escalation of the situation in NI that resulted from the events of Bloody Sunday. Nothing was gained by the killing. It is all very well for a man who has got away with murder to extend his hand in friendship to his victims. Hard to reproach the victim when he refuses to accept it from an unrepentant man.
