This story is probably most interesting to me because it
involves Ian Paisley Jr., son of the more famous Paisley who died in 2014. The
Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) founded by Paisley Sr. in 1971 is currently in
a coalition with Theresa May's Tories and while I've always followed British
politics to some extent, I have as of late been paying a little closer
attention.
Paisley's movement has followers in the United States and
there are longtime bonds between Paisley's Free Presbyterian Church and
American Fundamentalist circles, particularly the Anti- Billy Graham factions
centred on Bob Jones University.
