Unionists who rejected Brian Faulkner ended up having to accept a terror-inspired party
A letter from David Barbour:
DUP Keith Buchanan MLA is quoted in last Tuesday’s edition as calling out the revisionism of Sinn Fein/IRA on brutal terrorism (‘Warped revisionism claim after Sinn Fein praise for hunger striker,’ August 9, see link below).
I remind the MLA that unionists revised their position to ensure that those with criminal convictions could sit in executive power over law-abiding citizens. Unionists brought down the power-sharing project of Brian Faulkner who brought constitutional nationalists into government and ended up accepting a terrorist-inspired party to make their own political careers possible.
