True story here. I was raised in San Francisco. I came to California at 3 yrs old. I was born in Cork I now work at a US Veteran hospital.

I said "there". Next question "North or South?" Cork you know,South. He then proceeds to curse me out. Wow! We were 8,000 miles and 20 years beyond The Troubles but the vapor of hate spreads wide and far.

[@Kitiwake]

You see .. Protestantism is founded on an anti pope doctrine. That's why protestants hate Catholics. They are told repeatedly how evil the pope and therefore Catholics are. Now you may be an atheist, I don't know. But by virtue of being from the republic you are automatically the hated enemy and assumed Catholic (by them). I grew up surrounded by Anglican neighbors, who were the kindest of people. But then that was in Cork, so they were exposed to the reality of Irish nationalist life and had to accept it.

Ah yes in the old pre 1969 days, Derry (Stroke City), despite having a majority nationalist population, was in the early 1920s, blatently gerrymandered in its electoral ward boundaries, to allow a permanent unionist majority. The then Stormont regime, having got rid of PR, cleverly designed the ward boundaries to ensure the unionists always had a majority of city seats. And with that, came discrimination by the old Derry Corporation in housing. No wonder the protest marches began there, the faeces hit the propeller then and it all started in Derry (they just wanted "one man one vote"). But of course the then NI govt, quickly stamped down on this with RUC batton charges etc and the footage went round the world...the Troubles had arrived...

Even though I was at the Prod school I'd Catholic friends in the estate.

[@BravosUK]

At the time that this film was made, I was serving with the Royal Air Force at RAF Ballykelly, some 14 miles from Derry City centre. As a young and impressionable English chap, I was somewhat perplexed, confused even, by the religious divide that was so obvious for all to see. One of the most memorable facts that I have in the memory bank, with regard to my time N. Ireland, relates to that first question that each and every dance partner would pose as I took to the dance floor, at any dance hall in the region, and believe me, in those days there were many. The question ? “What religion are you?” To be honest it was something one became used to, but also something which was difficult to comprehend. Regardless, on one occasion during a night at one of Londonderry’s dance halls, I think it was the Memorial Hall, but I could be wrong, my mate came off the dance floor bent almost double in fits of laughter. When asked to explain, he said that having been subjected to the usual religious inquisition, he, being black, had replied that he was a Muhammadan, to which his partner had further enquired “But are you a Catholic Muhammedan or a Protestant Muhammedan?” There was no answer to that, but it sort of typified the times in which we lived back in ‘63/65. I do recall that we chuckled about it for some time. I was also glad not to have been stationed there later on in that decade, especially when one of our local drinking establishments was blown to smithereens in pursuance of the Irish Nationalist cause. I must add that I found the Irish folk, and especially the many young and attractive ladies, most friendly and welcoming.

Was that in the Catholic Irish nationalist cause or the protestant Irish nationalist cause?

[@BravosUK]

You are pulling my leg, surely. At that time the only Irish Nationalist cause of which I was aware, was related to the IRA, (and various other Nationalist groups).. The INLA were responsible, so I am reliably informed, for blowing up the 'Droppin' Wel'l pub during a disco evening. At the time of the bombing the old RAF base had been handed over to the Army, and it was the poor squaddies and local civilians who bore the brunt. I think the soldiers were from the 1st Battalion the Cheshire Regiment The Droppin Well bombing or Ballykelly bombing occurred on 6 December 1982, when the Irish National Liberation Army (INLA) detonated a time bomb at a disco in Ballykelly, County Londonderry, Northern Ireland, United Kingdom. The disco, known as the 'Droppin Well', was targeted because it was frequented by British Army soldiers from nearby Shackleton Barracks. The bomb killed 17 people: eleven soldiers and six civilians, while dozens more were wounded. It was the deadliest attack during the INLA's paramilitary campaign and one of the deadliest bombings of The Troubles. Sad times.

A journey around the volcano's crater and a series of interviews with thoughtful men who wished for a positive change which seemed to be on the horizon. It is ironic that by attempting to improve relations, the Prime Minister of Northern Ireland set off a counter reaction among the most hard line elements of the Unionist community which ultimately led to the eruption itself. In England, we saw the ever increasing and alarming news reports with absolute amazement- I was a teenager and it seemed completely unreal, what was going on. In fact most people thought the bellicose players were laughable but quickly the emerging Troubles engulfed not just NI but reverberated into the whole of the UK. There were people of good will on both sides but it was the "men of violence" who literally soon called the shots. Harold Wilson a politician's politician, for sure, who reckoned you "need to get your head tested" if you got involved was finally forced to send in the Army. Now there's yet another irony.

Eddie McAteer, Jim McCabe and James Doherty were fathers of some of my childhood friends, but we were the lucky ones, the Doherty's house on Queen Street was quite sizable, but he was a successful businessman. It was the professional Catholic neighbourhood; my father, a dentist got too involved in politics for his own good, so we took off for Australia in 1970. I was five when this was made, and on holidays in Ballyliffin Donegal and in later years Greencastle, so I never got to see the Apprentice Boys' parade. 1969 was a doozie; I'd just come back from holidays in Greencastle and the Sunday evening before we started school, the late Dennis Heaney (look him up) and myself (both good Catholic Clarendon Street boys) went on a defenestration spree in the wreckage of The Battle of the Bogside. The next morning we had to navigate our way past two sets of barricades constructed from the rubble of the destroyed building to get to the Bogside where the Christian Bros School and the Tech were located. Happy Days, no wonder my family left, I'd probably have been killed by ENGLISH soldiers like Dennis if we hadn't.

It cannot be right as N Ireland has now a very sizeable migrant population that would be included in any census and they are not mentioned in your figures. Forget that for now , a a Young proud Protestant are you aware of the plan by the EU to flood N Ireland with Sub Saharan Africans and Muslims on a massive scale over the next twenty years. It already happening big time in the Republic of Ireland and recent statistics shown that one third of all children under sixteen are of African or Muslim ethnic background.Are you fully aware that it is now happening in N Ireland , and is clearly visible in every town and city. Does it worry you that you as a Protestant and your future children will be a minority in your own land?. There will be a combined African and Muslim majority by 2045. You are probably aware of the EU plans by now , and both White Protestant and Catholics born today will not live in a ethnic homogeneous White homeland.

Never forget Communism, or it new re branded name Socialism, is a Jewish inspired ideology. Marks , Engels. and to many more to mention. As for Ireland being Communist state , many would say it already is , as free speech is now being curtailed , and having a negative opinion of abortion or degenerate sexual relations is opens you up for so called hate crime. even quoting the Bible as regards these matter will soon be classified "Hate Speech". Classic Communist strategy to control what is permitted as "legitimate thought and opinion" . Very dark days are not far away. We will probably not be allowed to discuss or debate as we are doing now .

It is a treaty-bound, rule-bound, hidebound sausage machine, which churns very slowly indeed, but its every cog is open to examination. Even if the conspiracy you allege were true (which it is NOT) it would not be something the EU could bring about. It would have to be (though it isn't) the Schengen Area.
