Text
The issue here is between right and wrong. You may live in the past, and your party may live in the past, but the rest of us are trying to move towards a better and brighter future. When we stood on the Garvaghy Road, we did so to protect those residents' right to live free from fear and intimidation, and we did so to protect the peace and advancement of the past 28 years. Stop looking backwards; stop looking behind you; start looking forward.
