David Ervine is on the other side of the Irish political divide to me. He killed my fellow countrymen while member of the loyalist paramilitary group the Ulster Volunteer Force (UVF). He went to prison for his acts and he emerged at the other side a changed man, a man who had remorsefully and meaningfully realised the errors of his ways, a man who sought to bridge the divide between the Irish and the British, a man whom I came to respect. You won't often hear me eulogising a British loyalist but I would just like to extend a genuine 'RIP' to David Ervine, leader of the Progressive Unionist Party in Northern Ireland, who died today following two heart attacks and a stroke.
