To Gain That Which Is Worth Having,

My Function In Life Is Not To Be A Politician In Parliament: It Is To Get Something Done.

Should An Anthropologist Or A Sociologist Be Looking For A Bizarre Society To Study, I Would Suggest He Come To Ulster. It Is One Of Europe's Oddest Countries. Here, In The Middle Of The Twentieth Century, With Modern Technology Transforming Everybody's Lives, You Find A Medieval Mentality That Is Being Dragged Painfully Into The Eighteenth Century By Some Forward-looking People.

I Went To A Very Militantly Republican Grammar School And, Under Its Influence, Began To Revolt Against The Establishment, On Thesimple Rule Of Thumb, Highly Satisfying To A Ten-year-old, That Irish Equals Good, English Equals Bad.

I'm Not Good Enough To Be A Saint And Not Bad Enough To Be Interesting.

Basically, I Have No Place In Organized Politics. By Coming To The British Parliament, I've Allowed The People To Sacrifice Me At The Top And Let Go The More Effective Job I Should Be Doing At The Bottom.
