They came first for the Communists...
.........but I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Communist.
Then they came for the Jews...
.........but I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Jew.
Then they came for the Unionists...
.........but I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Unionist.
Then they came for the Catholic...
.........but I didn't speak up because I was a Protestant.
Then they came for me...and by that time...
.........there was no-one left to speak up for me.
