There is no border we are ONE!!

Ireland could do with more people like Naomi north & south.

Very decent person. Comfortable in her skin, but humble with it. Kindness doesn't need anything but itself.

Great interview with Naomi with some great insights, but I do believe we all put our beliefs and identity in something, even we all have some form of unconscious bias weather it’s I like carrots or carrot cake, or Man UTD or Liverpool. But if they are our ultimate identity, As Naomi said we are all broken .

The majority in Ulster and that is made up of 7of9 counties backing European and Dail Erinn governments. Perhaps we should let democracy rule!

An honest woman - and steadfast !

Likeable woman

Nah. Typical Alliance faffing about, without committing to anything. You can talk and talk all you want but Unionism and Nationalism are oil and water, any common ground is superficial or unavoidable from an existential point of view. The enmity and incompatibility is intractable. The only way out of the impasse is a lasting significant demographic shift. Hopefully raw nature will prevail over human nature some day. Those who say they are neither Unionist or Nationalist are either dithering jellyfish who will go along with their tribe when push comes to shove, or are recent immigrants. Personally, I do not want to see a border poll happening for a long time, nor do most in the South either. The thoughts of a 'shared island' where we have to pander to the likes of Jim Allister or that rat Bryson, or even join the Commonwealth (god help us) makes me want to puke.

Very mixed up person DOES NOT know who she is

Highly likeable, intelligent, articulate and clear thinking woman. A Godsend, and may she thrive in a long happy life.

Go raibh maith agat. 👏

Everyone Born on the Island of Ireland is Classified As Irish In England and Everywhere Else in the World 🌎 Identify as however you wish Absolutely Parity of Esteem Respect for Britishness and Irishness Equals Identity Is Divide And Conquer From Colonialism Imperialism Every Six Days A Country Celebrates There Independence From Britian 😱

The British have a terrible habit of forcing their identity onto others, Britishness is overbearing, it overrides ones own culture and national identity, As a Scot who totally rejects any notion of Britishness, i all to often encounter angered Brits being vexed when you proclaim your non Britishness. I am Scottish, Not British,

Colonialism is a strange animal indeed. One can be British without ever being in Britain, and because your Government gives you a piece of Paper stating you're British. Crazy World.

I loved listening to her. However, I wondered what her position was on the conflict between gender identity extremists and women rights. She was talking about bullying of lgbt people, which often seems to be why some women support transactivists without thinking it through.

Honest Brave woman

Thanks for this. Rather painful her exult the RUC and their brute allies the B Specials. Both brute, murderous, anti-Catholic brutes that precipitated 30yr mayhem, murder, suffering, pograms 1920s. More murderous than the KKK. Not so happy attempts to dignify them here. Still totally commend discussions like this.

Great insights presented with humanity and intelligence.

Please help the poor negro.

A proper pro-British Irish person- such a contrast to the yellow pack version that populated so much of our media up to recently. Instead of an anti-nationalist intellectual warrior who is suddenly impotent in the face of the most superficial ,fatuous brexit English version we have an Irish person who finds our own nationalism and the aforementioned supercilious English version to be equally ridiculous. What a relief. Her experience of some of the British Conservatives doesn't surprise me at all and indeed it does not surprise in the least that they view the loss of Ireland to the UK in a similar way to the way I view the loss of Ulster to Ireland. It's when you ask the question why that you realise how much this has to do with the British and how little it has to do with the Irish. I suspect she understands

I learned European history in Primary school in Ireland in the 1950s. I spent a short time in school in Wales and was surprised there was only English history taught there.

Dubliners definitely a little bit not sure footed when talking to a northerner. They don’t quite know what sort of northerner you are. But they are getting better.

We heard a lot more than her intro. I'm 58 so a similar experiences. Reasonable people do truly awful things.

There is no such thing. As British Ness. Scots are different than english

New book just published by Des Ekin called ‘The Brutish Empire’. I really can’t understand how any person from the former colonies, or even anyone who considered themselves progressive, can accept an honour in the name of the ‘Brutish Empire’.

A reframing of the issues, similarly to the 2 EU referenda, may achieve the required result, second time around. Ireland was/is under the EU bus.

I am always surprised so many Irish relating experiencing their school years infected with anti-English venom. I was schooled in a Republican stronghold West Kerry and never extrapolated what were genocides,. atrocities in past times to English/British people of my generation. Maybe as with Louise in part we encountered many visiting Brits who appreciated Ireland/Irish culture, maybe we had relatives working in Britain. Can't immediately locate but we are not so happy that it was an Englishman who inflicted Peig Sayers on Irish schoolchildren!

Hello, Sir’ Our Team, just come from your KZbin channel to share with you some important problems that are preventing your channel growth.

Britain does not respect Irish sovereignty, and it still holds a colony in the north. The British have always bought Irish collaboration by means of titles and positions. By taking these titles and high positions, those who have been awarded them are thereafter owned by the British, and ultimately the British get their investment repayed. This woman is espousing British intelligence doctrine as it is currently projecting Britain's interest towards Ireland, despite the British superficial benign indifference.

In 1840 about 40% of the British army came from the island of Ireland 🇮🇪 Protestant and Catholic. Five years later over a 1million people on that island perished through starvation. As a Berwicker our history over 15000 people were killed in two days. I regard myself as Scottish and is annoyed at all those people ( because of Westminster) lost their lives. Mo Sean athair bho Tir Conail so I have an Ulster and Irish bloodline too. Saor Erinn Agus Alba thig ar latha!

We all have different perspectives. This lady is admirably engaged with what is happening in the world generally. English people are focussed on the relationship with Europe, with immigration, with their place in the world. They are thinking about Ukraine and Putin. They are emphatically not at all concerned with Ireland. There is no reason for them to be. Ireland suffers terribly from large neighbour syndrome.

It's clear we still haven't gotten over the Brits, credit them at least, they've certainly gotten over us.

An irish person against scotish independence is an oximoran. It implies irish independence was a mistake. And the reason given was it might impact univeristies revenues !! That is no reason at all against controlling your own destiny. As a irishman l would defend her right to her opinion but very few if any irish poeple would agree with her. Anglo irish relations are indeed complicated but the history is quite simply: occupation and oppression of the native irish people in a clear attempt to extinguish our language and culture !

Maybe her acceptance of the title of dame from the british empire added to his confusion.

In addition Ireland is a different landmass to England, a sea separates the two. England, Scotland, and Wales is one landmass, although their cultures are different. A common goal in relation to common welfare, while respecting cultural differences would be ideal.

I prefer questions to be answered as they are asked, not lumped together, as their relevance and meaning is lost.

Also the Scots Irish are a different animal from either the English or the Irish. President Thomas Jefferson had a few choice words to say about them and they weren’t complimentary. Those Scots-Irish in the American South want to control the narrative of what the U.S. is about; it will get pushback.

My Irish born and raised coudsins in England, with perfect souther or Estuary accents, educated and properous were regularly told, "You' not Irish, you're really one of us,. " Not apprteciated. Ironicallky one English uppevb clsass aunt by mawrrisge well understood that Ireland was a sepsarate country and culture. She liked her husbanmd's Irishness. But she was one of thjiose country gentry English women who got along with everyone because they respected everyoine and recognized differences as well as similarities.
