Clearly there is bitter and deep-rooted personal enmity between two politicians in Northern Ireland, namely Ian Paisley and Jim Allister. Paisley has effectively challenged Allister to a political duel on his home territory of North Antrim.
Without prejudice whatsoever, I feel the time has come for Ian Paisley to accept a life Peerage and join his loving wife, the Baroness Paisley, in the Upper House. Naturally he has always been a very strong character, fiercely independent in many ways; not predisposed to accept the counsel of others gladly.
Surely it's time for Ian Paisley to announce his retirement as a Member of Parliament?

If he were 20 or even 10 years younger perhaps the HOl would have benefitted from another Paisley Peerage.
Now, I don't think mentally he's firing on all cylinders now to be brutally honest.
Indeed. He ought to have retired gracefully before issuing more ultimatums and throwing down gauntlets to others.
