Again, that is absolutely pathetic. A blind man on a galloping horse can see what Sinn Féin is all about. In past weeks, it has been all about repeatedly attacking me. I have put on the record my determination to move forward, to look to the future, to champion Northern Ireland and to support people from all communities. It is really sad that you have decided to come to the Chamber and try to drag this down into what is, very clearly, a personal attack on me. Let me repeat: all terrorism was wrong. Your terrorism was wrong. Your colleagues' terrorism was wrong. Terrorism, be it from the loyalist side, the republican side or wherever, was wrong. There was never any justification. There was always an alternative. I can say that clearly. I wish that you could; I wish that your party leader could; I wish that your colleagues could. I will say this: it is shameful that, as I stand here, people watching today see this display, which is a really blatant attempt to attack me and to bring me down. I look to the future. I look to the positivity of the future. I look to working in partnership and driving forward our Programme for Government, because what matters to people is health, education, building our economy —
