I find it perfectly natural to loathe his IRA behaviour but admire his later peace initiatives. Fascinating that, these days, we are programmed only to have one extreme view or the other. We simply cannot accept multiple emotions. Like the compassion discussion, why must one thing cancel another? I've said it before - our species will end due to this absurd, creeping superficiality.

Interesting that Colin Parry has been more practical towards him today.

The tributes are interesting. Norman Tebbit doesn't seem to have mellowed, even if Martin McGuinness did.

He was lucky he didn't stand up for paedophiles; he would never have been forgiven for that!

Will be interesting to see if the dissident republicans try to stage a protest at the funeral or keep away.
