That is absolutely pathetic point-scoring. In reality, I have been clear on every occasion that, without reservation, I stand against thuggery; I stand against sectarianism; I stand against racism; I stand against paramilitarism; and I stand against terrorism. Unfortunately, you do not have to look very far around you to find others who cannot be as clear as I am being. I say this to the House: I will take no criticism that I have been, in any way, ambiguous. I condemn, without reservation, any criminality, any thuggery and any intimidation. Ask your colleagues whether they can do the same.
