Tebbit right on McGuinness

Sir, - I never thought I’d find myself agreeing with a Tory peer but full marks to Norman Tebbit for calling Martin McGuinness, pictured, for what he was, a coward and a terrorist.

As people mourned his death, he reminded people that, if he didn’t actually pull the trigger on many killings,he certainly sanctioned them from his position as head of the IRA and he should’ve been in prison, rather than helping to run a country. Eric Travers. 38 Gellatly Road, Dunfermline.
