This part of the programme starts with footage of a National Front counter-demonstration but that had nothing to do with me. The National Front were in Downing Street, I was in Trafalgar Square. I didn’t want to stand with them because I’m not and never have been a member of any far-right organisation, whether it’s the National Front or Combat 18 or whoever. And what’s more no one has ever produced any evidence of me having such membership.

Apart from anything else it wasn’t an event organised by the far-right, even if some of them were there. It was a counter-demonstration against the IRA, whose sympathisers were walking the streets of our capital city glorifying mayhem and murder. I was there as a Loyalist objecting to that presence, as is my democratic right. They tried to make out that the demonstrators were all hardened thugs who were out to make trouble. But let me tell you who else was there: members of our armed forces, one of whom had had his leg blown off. Doesn’t the BBC think that he had every right to be there to protest against people who promote extreme violence?

The claim by MacIntyre that he had arranged to meet me is also false. I hadn’t been on a march for years and even the day before I wasn’t 100 per cent sure if I would go. The only thing that was definite is that, if I was going, I would meet Macintyre and Atkinson at Waterloo. As it happens I did go, with Andy, and when we got to Waterloo the two of them were waiting for us. It turned out that they had a grass keeping them informed so it was so easy for them to keep track of us. We know who that grass was, don’t we?

The clever editing continued to make us look bad. This exchange, in the pub, makes it appear that I’m about to cause trouble.
