John Hume SDLP,

I’ve been watching the programme from BBC NI Pop goes Northern Ireland. Looking back at key moments from the troubles. John Hume was a main part of trying to get better conditions, and for getting peace and a man I always had a lot of respect for. RIP.
 
A giant of a man. He took unbelievable steps in the days of the civil rights movement and raised his head above the parapet for the nationalist people, a trait he continued with, all his days. In later years, ,again, he withstood opposition, [even within his own party], to begin peace talks with SF and others. He never wavered.
While i have never voted for the SDLP, I have nothing but respect for the man.
