@terry phidaheights you need to brush up on your history then Terry unless you like making deliberately false statements to provoke people?. The Irish fought and won independence from a much larger oppressive force - if their history proves anything its that they are nobodys lapdog. Yes the EU bailed out Irish banks by lending money which then had to be repaid with interest. This doesnt mean that they owe the EU any allegiance, these banks made money off the Irish taxpayer, if anything they should resent europe for it. The truth of how they got in that position in the first place too is a little more nuanced than I suspect youd be willing to spend time to understand. While your at it read a history book to find out where the British got their money, you could name almost any country in the world and find that the Brits had pillaged it at some time or another, India, the Americas, Africa, China, Canada even lowly Ireland. The Brits have also been bailed out on numerous occasions - read up on the Marshall Plan for example or the trade deficit the UK has been running for the last 30 consecutive years so lets not bring that into it. Doesnt make Britons any more favourable towards those countries so why should Ireland be perceived as such with Europe.

Undoing the destruction any empire causes is extremely difficult to impossible. Prevention is better than cure.

[@mariecameron1644]

IronMarmot. England starved the Irish while they pillaged their potatoes meat and shipped it to England. When that was not enough they shipped them off to Canada in 'coffin ships'. The history of the truth is most disturbing.

[@TheNightBadger]

@@mariecameron1644 1) The potato famine was caused by blight and an explosion in the Irish population leading up to it - famines were common in Europe up until the mid 1800's. What made this one worse was how dependent the populace was on the one food worst affected, and the misinformation when it started. The English Parliament were not really told how bad the situation was until it was far too late. Local landowners are as much to blame as 'The English'. It was not - as you implied - something engineered by the English. 2) Coffin ships were used by everyone until laws brought in towards the end of the 1800's. The # 1 cause of death for British people in the 1800's was drowning. To imply that coffin ships were just something the British used for the Irish is also flat out wrong. You are talking about time periods when life was brutal and short, and life was treated much more cheaply. You seem to want to label that as 'The English', but in reality that's 'The Past'. The life-expectancy for working class men in London in the late 1800's was... 21.

[@cooldaddy2877]

@@TheNightBadger it was not a famine, the Irish prefer the term The Great Hunger. You are right that The Great Hunger was initially caused by a potato blight, no argument there. But...after the crop failure the English took all the food out of Ireland by the shipload. The records (English records I might add) speak for themselves. Therefore, this was clearly passive genocide.

[@TheNightBadger]

@@cooldaddy2877 _"it was not a famine, the Irish prefer the term The Great Hunger. You are right that The Great Hunger was initially caused by a potato blight, no argument there. But...after the crop failure the English took all the food out of Ireland by the shipload."_ And wasn't that at least partly due to the local landlords hiding the extent of the famine from them for some time _combined_ with a general indifference to the Irish from the ruling classes at the time? _"The records (English records I might add) speak for themselves. Therefore, this was clearly passive genocide."_ There's no such thing as a 'passive genocide' - you are either trying to exterminate someone or you aren't. And there are plenty of English records that also support the idea nobody knew how bad it was (specifically for the poor Irish), and by the time they did both the public and the Politicians bent over backwards trying to fix it, but it was far far too late, and many of the things they did were simply insufficient. What is that saying? 'Never attribute to malice what can be attributed to negligence'? Something like that. Were there people who saw this famine as some kind of providential way of sorting out those pesky Irish - definitely - but they were not the majority, and the decisions made were almost entirely well-intentioned. However, the fact that food was sent out of Ireland during the famine is something that should never have happened. The ports should have been closed until people were fed. But he ruling class of the UK (and by default Ireland) had never really cared for anyone but itself, and it would take many many reformations and movements to make them. Even the Chartists - looking for suffrage for working people, were mostly executed and transported, and that was just a couple of decades before the famine.

[@someguy3766]

No, it's more complicated than that. The loyalists are mostly Protestants who descend from English and Scottish settlers who came to work plantations during the 1600s. They were British back then and their descendents have never lost that identity. The Catholic Irish, who are natives, feel they have been displaced by those settlers, and in fairness they were. Land was confiscated from them and they were barred from political institutions for centuries. This is ultimately where the divide originates from. There are also some native Catholic Irish who are loyalists for pragmatic reasons, namely they worry a major political change such as Irish unification would result in economic problems, civil unrest or even a civil war. And there are some who don't see being Irish and British as being contradictory, much like you can be English and British or Scottish and British. But most Catholic Irish are Republicans.

[@johngalt969]

The north didn't fight to stay with the UK, the north fought for its sovereignty as the north. Ireland has never been 'one nation' - in fact this is the smallest it has ever been. It'd be like forcing Wales to become part of England, or England to become part of Scotland. The problem is - communist subversives have ALWAYS been behind this war. They wanted the south to take the north and the country to become a people's republic of socialist states. They still do. Just now they don't have the USSR slipping them RPG7's and AK's to murder people with. They just have the communists in media and in the EU pushing the same brotherwars.

[@celticlofts]

The truth is that those who had the least to gain were the one's who sacrificed the most. Even today if you go through Northern Ireland you'll see flags flying in working class areas but not in middle class areas or indeed the wealthier parts of Northern Ireland.

I'm from the US and until I watched this video I can say I didn't know very much about this and honestly thought this was put to rest long ago. I watch a lot of history from around the world.

I can't say if this video is onesided because of how little I know at this time. Will be learning more. This might just be me being an American or my lack of understanding of the issues. But from what I just watched and know at this point, feels pretty simple to me. If I'm seeing this right, this is Ireland, with or without the border. That tells me it's not England. So Ireland is being occupied. The British want the northern part of Ireland, they lived there and have for years. To me, that does not make it theirs. It's Ireland, regardless of how long families have lived their, its Ireland. Because of that, you live by Ireland's rule, it is Ireland, not England. So simple, live by their law Ireland's or move to England. I can't find a reason for any country, including my own, to force you laws and or be an occupier of another country.

[@reamannmacbiatiagh2057]

3:29 The country did not declare independance from GB in 1922. Rather it was just after unanamous result of the 1918, 32 county Election , the result of that election automaticaly established independance by the will of the Irish people in the 32 counties. The Sovereign constitution 1919 (AD) was promulgated at the first sitting of Dáil Éireann on 21st January 1919 at 12 noon in the Mansion House, Dublin, where the inalianable soverenty of the all Irish individuals was recognised by Dáil Éireann. An english apartheid system of Partition was later imposed on 3 May 1921 on a sovereign Irish people and remains to this day,, the idea of the people of a country being recognised by their government as individual, sovereign and above government was thorn in the side of the English King and his relitives,. The English royal family's Russian relitives had all been executed in (1918) this event was still at the forefront of their minds.

It doesn’t ‘own Ireland’. It has people who consider themselves British Citizens living in the North who’ve fought and died for Britain, and to remain part of Britain, for hundreds of years. Those people will never give up that land without a fight. If there was to be a United Ireland tomorrow, there would be murders and bombings carried out by Loyalist paramilitaries almost immediately, and we’d see a virtual reversal of the situation Ireland faced in say … 1969.

They could, I agree, but they don’t want to. Their people have fought for Britain and that piece of dirty they live on for hundreds of years, so how do you plan on changing their minds?

[@joshuniacke2442]

I’m English and I honestly think we should reunite Ireland tbh, give free immigration to unionists so they can move here and leave Ireland to people that want to be Irish

At the end of the day, you’d be asking these people to give up their homes, along with the country their ancestors have lived, fought, and died for, for hundreds of years. It’s all very well saying ‘this is what should happen, because it’s a sensible option’, or whatever, but the Protestants in the North will never give up their home without a fight.

For a Turkish "news story" aimed at people who don't know much about Ireland, this is fair enough but for anybody with knowledge, it is far too simplistic. Whatever the current state of affairs over Brexit, the harsh reality is that having passed the generation of politicians that lived through the "Troubles" such as McGuiness and Paisley, we now have untested leadership on both the Unionist and Republican sides neither of whom seem to know what they are doing as the non functioning Stormont for almost 2 years testifies to. More dangerously after 20 years of relative peace, there is a whole generation that have grown up not realising or experiencing "what it was like" back in the day. The current nonsense over Brexit is a case in point. All the pious talk is about the Good Friday Agreement (GFA) but that is not what it is about, the real issue concerns the EU protecting the "integrity" of the Single Market and in this context, the vast majority of exports to the EU from the Republic go via the "UK land bridge" - lorries get on a ferry from Ireland to the UK, drive across the UK to another ferry port on the East/South coast of England and get on another ferry to the Continent, the reverse is also true. For the almost 100 years since the division of Ireland there has been a Common Travel Area between the UK and the Republic, you never needed a passport to cross between the two, the UK has no interest in there being a hard border between North and South but the EU does and may force the Republic to impose one. There is one final issue concerning the reunification of Ireland that people need to understand which is that economically, it would harm the Republic and the vast majority of Southern Irish voters wouldn't want it because of that. The reason for this is the way UK taxation works. The vast majority of taxes are collected centrally and then distributed via a bloc grant system the length and breadth of the UK on a formula designed to achieve parity of outcomes in areas such as health, education, policing etc, local taxes raise less than 10% of what is spent locally, over 90% comes from Central (UK) Government. It is an oddity of this that the smaller the population, the higher this central grant tends to be so Scotland with a population of 5 million gets more per head than England where over 80% of the population and tax base live. With a population of 2 million, Northern Ireland recieves the highest amount of bloc grant support per head of population of the whole of the UK. So leaving all the totem poles and flag waving to one side, Nationalist or Unionist, not being part of the UK would carry heavy financial costs at the personal level, it is this key issue that the SNP in Scotland never talks about either, like Sinn Fein they would rather wave flags than deal with reality.

[@johnhaynes9910]

@Jan Schlossar Not sure where you are coming from here, "protect its territory"...hmm presumably you do not mean in a military sense. As all trade deals are not about tarrifs thesedays, unless you are Donald Trump, and a sovereign UK would be its own single market, policing "standards" on products and services within the UK will be a normal activity and agencies already exist for this, currently ensuring compliance with EU rules. As to a hard border between the Republic and Northern Ireland, on a practical level for almost 100 years since the establishment of the Republic there has been a "Common Travel Area", a British Isles version of Shengen if you like. From a military perspective, without tight cooperation between the Republic and the UK, policing that rambling border is impossible, look it up on a map so neither of us are up to putting in a hard border. Which brings us to the crux of the matter, it is the EU who wish and are determined to "Protect the Integrity of the Single Market" it will therefore be the EU that will insist on a hard border not the UK, a spokesman in Brussels said so just yesterday.

[@johnhaynes9910]

@Jan Schlossar It's not me playing with words it is simply the way it is, in other words hard facts. Allow me to help you out here with an example: The UK post Brexit could declare "tarrif free trade" but it is the non tarrif rules that actually matter. The UK would need to 'police' the resulting imported products to ensure public safety and compliance with "standards" which for now and into the immediate future would be "EU Standards". The difference concerns the UK exporting products to other countries, do these exports comply with the "local standards" of that country ? Looked at in this way, the EU has made a total mess of the Brexit negotiations because the starting point is that both the UK and the EU are currently mutually compliant with the same rule book, but for stupidity, this could have been wrapped up some time ago.

Al these documentaries fail to mention the initial cause. in 1918, 78% of the people of Ireland voted for independence, the 22% of Loyalists, who were born here and had lived here for hundreds of years but still did not regard themselves as "Irish", mainly in 6 of the 9 counties of the province of Ulster threatened "Terrorism" if the were "forced" to accept the rule of Democracy, so the state of N.Ireland was formed. However, even getting their way with the threat of violence was not enough, the rode roughshod over the indiginous/nationalist/catholic population in an apartheid state, denying them work, housing and in turn the right to vote, freedom to express thier "Irishness" in an extreme manner, very much like the White South African government treated the Blacks. The "Troubles" began when, Rev. Ian Paisley led a march to the catholic/Nationalist Falls Road , to remove an Irish Tricolour flag from the window of a Sinn Fein office, and the Marchers began ethnic cleansing by burning catholic homes (Nationalist or Not), on their way back to the Shankhill Road. The first Police man shot, was shot on the shankhill road by the U.V.F, a loyalist paramilitary Terrorist organization, the same organization that threatened violence if the Democratic Result of the 1918 election was upheld. Again in Brexit, 65% of the people in Northern Ireland wish to remain in the European Union, however, the 51.9% of the United Kingdom who voted to leave the EU, after a campaign based on lies and misinformation must be respected, because that is Democracy?? Can someone please explain "Democracy" to me? I don't get it, I must be stupid, being Irish and all!!
