In 1970 I worked with for a working class protestant who had come to live in England. The troubles were a year or two old, but the worst of the horrors were still to happen. "What you English don't understand" he said "are the sort of people you're dealing with. You have reasonable people like Willie Whitelaw thinking they'll go and have reasonable conversations with Unionist politicians and everything will get sorted out. He will get a nasty surprise"I do remember their opposition to the GFA, Was it Mo Mowlan (RIP) who managed finally to get them to agree? NI needs to thrive otherwise it could get tricky again overe there.
