You've got to love Norman Tebbitt's take on the sad passing of McGuinness.

Yes. Someone on Twitter yesterday said that McGuinness's death had acted like an ultra-violet light to reveal moral bankruptcy. And, as one watched one despicable cûnt after another clamouring to say nice things about him, it was hard to disagree.

I agree Normo's the second greatest living Englishman, of course, but he's still some way behind Sir Geoffrey.

I read that and thought that is pretty much what Berni said on awimb. Despicable **** of course (Tebbitt, not b), but you have to admire the sheer passion in the prose

Well I imagine if someone had paralysed your wife and killed your friends, you'd be fairly passionate about it, too.

The despicable **** probably feels sorry for his wife. What a rotter!

Oh, quite. In this I have utmost respect for his opinions. In other matters, less so. Seems awfully fond of Jimmy Savile still, for some reason

Yes I saw that. Interestingly, those circulating what he said about Savile didn't seem to get that his equivocations on the subject (nonced a few kids off, but did a lot of good) were morally identical to those being trotted out by the world and his wife vis-a-vis McGuinness.

The thing I was reading with those quotes actually said precisely that, but I can imagine others missing the irony. I think it was Paul McCartney who said:

"There is good and bad in everyone,
We learn to live, when we learn to give
Each other what we need to survive, together alive"

and I think we can all agree he is a despicable ****

An entirely reasonable reaction from the man all things considered.

Must admit that most people I saw appeared to be tweeting it as a means of undermining Tebbit's judgement of McGuinness.
