Paisley in good voice

Veteran politician Ian Paisley proved that at 77, he is still capable reproducing his own inimitable brand of rhetoric at his party's annual conference at the weekend. Though there is a certain incongruity between the character of the leader's speech and that of party secretary Nigel Dodds, who spoke of "...a good and viable alternative and only the DUP has the strength and ability to negotiate a better deal."

Update: Paisley has told his party that anyone making contact with Sinn Fein will be expelled.
