It was revealed at the Billy Wright Inquiry today that slain loyalist terrorist Billy Wright paid a visit in the early 1990s to 'Reverend' William McCrea to say that he believed he was going to be killed by the state. Mr McCrea later shared a stage with the loyalist leader.
Surely Mr McCrea has some explaining to do. What was he doing chatting to Billy Wright? The DUP's unique selling point for many years was their apparent opposition to terrorism, yet we find that one of its senior figures was talking to this scumbag. Would he have got into a conversation with an IRA or INLA man at the time? I doubt it. So why would he speak to Billy Wright? Indeed, why would he share a stage with him at the height of his killing spree?
Answers on the back of an election communication postcard please.

Copy and paste the link before you lecture others.
John Hume met Adams with a view to achieving peace. He succeeded. Why did McCrea meet Wright? I don't think Wright was embarking on any peace process.
