Election Sets Back Accord in N. Ireland: "When a journalist for Ulster Television asked if he would speak to Sinn Fein after the election, [Ian] Paisley grabbed the reporter by the collar with both hands and bellowed: 'Do I need to repeat it? Do I need to take you by the neck and say no, I'm not, I'm not talking to Sinn Fein and my party's not talking to Sinn Fein, and anybody that talks to Sinn Fein will be out of my party?' "

Feisty guy for a 77-year-old.
