A brave man who would have been targeted by extremists on both sides. The Hume-Adams initiative was what helped create the Northern Ireland peace process.

One of several remarkable people who brought peace where there had only been hatred and violence

Fully deserved his Nobel Prize

I also liked his slightly dishevelled look, he always looked like he had spent the previous night sleeping in a ditch

An absolute giant. Took the path to peace right from the start rather than the path to violence.

Correct...my mistake. Still, her hero worship of a man who was responsible for murdering 30 people puts her in a very different bracket to Hume. I met John Hume several times during my student days in Belfast in the 80s and even though we had different views as to the future of Northern Ireland, he spoke well and was great company, he abhorred all sectarian violence and he had my respect.
