DISGUST AT EX-PARA BIGOT FOR VILE ATTACK ON BISHOP EDWARD DALY

Scots bigot Allan Woods slurs the great memory of retired Bishop of Derry Edward Daly

A WARPED Scots bigot is to be sacked as a bus driver over a disgusting and sickening sectarian attack on the memory of retired Derry Bishop Edward Daly.

Sicko Allan Woods, who claims to have served in Derry on Bloody Sunday with the disgraced British Parachute Regiment, branded Most Rev Daly a “lying IRA-supporting b*****d”.

He also used a grossly offensive term for Catholics to describe the priest.

Wingnut Woods added: “Good riddance to the piece of IRA scum” and said he hoped the respected cleric would “rot in hell”.

But as everybody in Derry knows, Bishop Daly had no truck with the IRA and was one of their fiercest critics. Just ask Martin McGuinness.

And the only person who will “rot in hell” is this bigot Woods as Dr Daly was a man of peace who tended to his flock with humility, kindness and tenderness.

Woods is a bus driver who works for Park’s of Hamilton in Scotland on a casual basis through an agency.

The firm supply coaches to Celtic and Rangers and are owned by Rangers director Douglas Park.

But following his outburst Woods will not drive again for the firm.

A spokesman for Park’s said: “When this was brought to the company’s attention, an investigation was launched immediately.

“It is being treated with the utmost gravity and as a matter of urgency.”

Woods also took aim at Scotland’s First Minister Nicola Sturgeon over the death of Dr Daly.

He posted on social media: “Just wait for knickerless Sturgeon to send her condolences.”

Dr Daly made headline news around the world when he waved a bloodied white handkerchief as a symbol of ceasefire as he tried to help a fatally injured youth at the 1972 Civil Rights protest in Derry.

British paratroopers had opened fire and killed 13 people.

Fourteen were injured and another was to die later.

Woods claims to have served in the Paras and to have been on duty as an 18-year-old that day.

Mos Rev Daly began serving as a priest in Derry in 1962 before becoming the city’s bishop in 1974. He stood down in 1993 after a stroke.

He spent his life working for peace and campaigned against all forms of violence.

But Woods bizarrely claimed on social media: “Watch the footage closely, he was concealing a weapon in the sleeve of his left arm as he led the wounded to an ambulance.

“He also made a statement that not even a stone was thrown at British troops. We were pelted with bricks, bottles, petrol bombs and finally bullets.”

Unfortunately for Woods, he is still stuck in the Widgery time warp.

The Saville report laid the blame for the murders of 14 unarmed civilians at the feet of the British Army.

The report stated: “The firing by soldiers of 1 PARA on Bloody Sunday caused the deaths of 13 people and injury to a similar number, none of whom was posing a threat of causing death or serious injury.

“The immediate responsibility for the deaths and injuries on Bloody Sunday lies with those members of Support Company whose unjustifiable firing was the cause of those deaths and injuries.”
