Where I come from, people will spit at you if they think you support Enbridge.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
When you're brought up in a Unionist culture, you can't help but feel Unionist.
I've had support from all sides, from people who call themselves Irish, from Northern Irish, to the whole of the UK, to people in America, and it would be terrible for me to segregate myself from one of those groups that support me so much.
If I felt we had alienated the Unionists, it would worry me because we've spent a great deal of time trying to open up discussion and dialogue with the Unionist Parties.
So, a lot of my supporters back home are members of the Tea Party.
Once you have the support of the lads around you, you can't ask for any more.
Initial excitement over the announcement that Enbridge was building a pipeline to Kitimat dampened considerably when people discovered that the number of permanent jobs for locals, in the end, would amount to some dock workers.
If you walk through Knightsbridge on any bland day of the week you won't hear an English accent. You'll hear every accent under the sun apart from the British accent.
The Scottish Labour Party, while I have breath in my body, will listen to the views of trade unionists.
I think people see me as someone very much associated with political agreement and, probably more than anything else, being able to build a relationship with loyalist leaders Ian Paisley and Peter Robinson.
The British have given me good support for the last 8 years and have always believed in me.
