There is a great deal of work that can be done between the SDLP representing the Nationalist population and the Unionist Parties, and I believe we should set down to do that.
There were two mentalities, and both mentalities had to change. There was what I called the Afrikaner mind set of the Unionist politicians, which was holding all power in their own hands, and discriminating, and their objective was to protect their identity.
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out - because I was not a trade unionist.
The most conservative man in this world is the British trade unionist when you want to change him.
I cannot imagine any circumstances under which David McNarry would be back in the Ulster Unionist Assembly group of MLAs when I have control of the whip.
When you're brought up in a Unionist culture, you can't help but feel Unionist.
If I felt we had alienated the Unionists, it would worry me because we've spent a great deal of time trying to open up discussion and dialogue with the Unionist Parties.
I'm a passionate trade unionist.
I've had very good meetings with Unionist leaders, Democratic Unionist Party, Ian Paisley and his team.
My parents were interested in history and the world. My father read Graham Greene and Georges Simenon and was a strong trade unionist and Labour supporter.
