The new first and deputy ministers were: Ian Paisley (DUP) and Martin McGuiness. Paisley said: “today we are starting upon the road which I believe will take us to lasting peace in our province.” The two got on so well that they were given the name ‘the chuckle brothers’.

The Pattern report came in the year 2000. It aimed to introduce not just a new badge and a new name and most importantly the recruitment of more Catholics into the force.

20 million dead and one man responsible. That one man would be known as Adolf Hitler, the leader of the Nazi Party. One question arises when discussing the immoral things that this one man did to humanity and that is was Hitler born with the mindset that he had to kill off all those innocent people or was he 100 percent in control of choosing his destiny?

When she tells me…
