And without being unkind about him, he achieved great things in politics and he was a good speaker.

I just remember as a kid growing up in Ireland, how I knew about Roy Hattersley was the spitting image puppet.

because every interview he did, he had a very distinctive spitting image puppet and he would cover the interviewer in a bit of spit, which was something he did and which they very fondly picked up on.

And you probably wouldn't get away with it nowadays, but spitting image in the 80s, anything went.

So there is trouble again.

In the past hour, police have used water cannon to try and disperse protesters.

What these protesters are trying to get at tonight is a hotel that is being used to house migrants and asylum seekers.

And police have very quickly ring fenced that and brought out the water cannon.

At one point I would make about Nigel Farage, no one in Ireland is interested in what that man has to say.

He used the phrase there, bad actors and foreign actors.

We've had enough of people like him coming up with the rhetoric and not in any way condemning the violence, if you notice.

You know, we don't need this trouble on our streets.

In Ireland, north or south, we've had enough violence to last us several millennia.

What people want is calm,

quiet leadership.

27 people are homeless off the back of being burnt out with their homes last night.

Absolutely shameful.

I think it ends very quickly.

I heard a friend of mine who's the Chief Constable of the Police Service of Northern Ireland, John Boucher, I heard him speak very eloquently earlier on.

And telling people, you know, let the police deal with this.
