McGuinness is ‘proud’ to be branded as bad as Greeks

MARTIN McGUINNESS is proud to be branded “as bad as the Greeks” by the Northern Ireland Secretary Theresa Villiers, he told the Star yesterday.

In an exclusive interview, the Northern Ireland Deputy First Minister said he was “honoured” by the Tory minister’s attempted slight.

He was speaking on the day an article penned by Ms Villiers appeared in the Belfast Telegraph under the headline: “Northern Ireland politicians as bad as the Greeks.”
