Privy Councillor

There's a line there that says about usually on members of the British Parliament are asked to be a PC, but Paisley was an MP at Westminster? So why is it worded as if this is an oddity? — Calvin999 14:11, 12 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

-== Belfast Agreement ==
-In the section entitled "Belfast Agreement" there is a whole chunk of text about Denis Donaldson and allegations of spying.  I fail to see what this has got to do with the life of Ian Paisley.  I think even the DUP only gets one mention and none at all for its leader.  Would this be better placed somewhere else?
-==Legalisation of Homosexuality==
-In reference to Paisley's campaigning for the legalisation of homosexuality at the beginning of the article, I assume this is a joke posted by someone with too much time on their hands. Should be removed, no? I won't do it until someone confirms this.
