Well presumably the hundreds of thousands who will opt to retain British citizenship in the north won't be barred from serving the the emergency and armed services in a unified state? Thank goodness Sinn Fein has some very intelligent people in it because you certainly couldn't sell unification!

Shhhhhsh don't tell norn iron that their in Ireland you'll start another war.

"I do hate those filthy paddy spud gobbling papists!" Me, an Irish Catholic.

As has been best said if we Irish fought the English as hard as each other they would have left Ireland centurys ago

@@irishjw like the Native Americans.

@@tireachan6178 Good point. Would have been early on like king Philips war. Had biggest percentage lose of any war America fought.

Ahhh don't tell Jeffery he's Irish.

I see, brave Irishmen fighting the Kaiser on the Western Front so the Kaiser arms traitors to stab them in the back in Dublin.

Some mothers have nutters.

The British were running around like headless chickens looking for Micheal Collins for 3 years. Too months after the civil war started the Irish got him the moral of the story is if you want to kill an Irishman get an Irishman to do it.

I think it's over the hills and far away old English folk song.

It tells you that you have a lot of troops. As most of the 60,000 were actually Irish.

There were six Irish regiments in the British Army at this time,and although some joined 'The cause' a lot were happy to have a go at the I R A. A fact thats evidenced by the case that over thirty percent of The R I C Auxies were Irish and a good few were American, Australien, Canadian, and New Zealanders.Some were also Scots. A pound a day was a lot of money in 1920 especially if it was seven days plus expenses.

@@philiprufus4427 well it was just one form of irishness versus another some thought Ireland was better off with the British connection because remember the home rule bill was passed in 1914. Others wanted a total brake from Britain they were all fighting for Ireland in their own way except of coarse the British members of the army.

@@Minime163 You mean the Irish members of the British Army. Also the RIC in this video are all Irishmen.

@@uingaeoc3905 of coarse not their from timbuktu

@@Minime163 would that be the Curragh Race Coarse?...😉

Are you referring to your ancestors. The name Grant is not irish so who are you referring two.

They were smart,they were on the winning side,God Bless the Irish !

They were Brits when WW1 broke out. They were opportunists when WW2 broke out.

@duncan stirling If the people living there are agreed in the majority,im sure they are welcome,that does not seem to be the case so far.

@duncan stirling The Six Counties are 'occupied' by Irishmen and Irish people. They do NOT have 'English Masters'. They do have Globalist enemies in the EU and the Erse Lickers of Brussels in the Dail - the three Faiche Repoblichaine parties SF, FG and FF. It is vile, vicious, obscene sectarianism of pretending that Unionists are not Irish that causes the problems.

@@philiprufus4427 in theory. No one knows the future.

@duncan stirling Perhaps my English masters could arrange to hand Liverpool over at the same time. 😉

It is what is known now as the Garda depot in the phoenix park Dublin. It was then the RIC depot.

It's all gone

Hi james😂

Hi Jake

I Interested in what you have to say

B Mc all the Irish regiments of the British army were disbanded that day except for the ones up north

@@vestty5802 the Irish Guards were not Northern, mostly southerners. They still exist.

@@irishboer7124 The Guards have always been a bit "special".

Yes, any man with sence went with the British to England. The alternative was to starve in Ireland regardless of whomever was elected. The same applies today.

Erin is my name
