“To those of us who remember the Thirties, the pattern is horribly familiar. The contempt for established authority; the crude and unthinking intolerance; the emphasis upon monster processions and rallies; the appeal to a perverted form of patriotism — each and every one of these things has its parallel in the rise of the Nazis to power.”
—Terence O’Neill, as Northern Ireland Prime Minister, at Stormont, on activities of Rev. Ian Paisley, 15/6/1966. Patrick Marrinan, Paisley, Man of Wrath, Anvil, 1973, p. 109.
