The father of a boy killed in an IRA bombing last night branded Findlay's remarks "downright idiotic".
Colin Parry's 12-year-old son Tim was killed by an IRA attack in Warrington, Chesire, in 1993.
He said: "Taking a soft line, I'd say Findlay's comments foolish in the extreme. Taking a hard line, I would say they're downright idiotic.
"I cant airbrush the death of my son out of my life. It is a legacy I live with everyday.
"It's beyond belief to me that an academic would espouse such views."
