Gregory Campbell leads tributes to Glen Barr, a '˜tireless campaigner' for working class unionists
DUP MP Gregory Campbell has led tributes to the late Glen Barr, describing him as a '˜tireless campaigner' for the working class unionist cause throughout his many years of activism.
The East Londonderry MP noted how the late Mr. Barr, or ‘Glenny’ as he was known, was “moving on from his political involvement as I moved into mine in the late 1970s”, but that he went on to spend many years promoting community development and peace-building in the North West.
“He worked hard at cross community work helping to build capacity in working class unionist areas,” said Mr. Campbell, following Mr. Barr’s death on Tuesday.
