At question time on 7 December 2010, Lady Boothroyd referred to Northern Ireland Secretary Owen Paterson's claim that he was "open to suggestions" from Sinn Fein on ways to vary the oath of allegiance taken by MPs.Gerry Adams can't take his seat because he refuses to swear loyalty to the Queen, so the oath has to be changed to square with his black little heart? Good Lord!
It's times like this that I think that the world has gone mad. Change to oath to accommodate a man who ordered the deaths and mutilations of thousands of people? A terrorist commander? A self-confessed traitor who worked hand in glove with the Soviets and Colonel Qadaffi? Who made the Republican cause a by-word for murder and gangsterism? A man who walks free solely because of the most sordid deal ever struck in British history? The only accommodation Adams and his ilk deserves is asking him whether or not he wants a cigarette before they drop him through the trap at the end of a rope.
