Description

Deputy leader of the Democratic Unionists, Peter Robinson, speaking after a Loyalist march from Londonderry to Belfast, says that Northern Ireland cannot be governed without the consent of its people, and that democracy and the ballot box have been swept aside. Like Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, Unionism is not for swerving - prime ministers come and go, but Ulster is here forever. Male interviewer not identified.
