- In this clip from 1977, Irish political activist Bernadette Devlin talks about standing up to the British and fighting for peace in Northern Ireland. While serving as a MP in the British parliament, Devlin famously slapped Home Secretary Reginald Maudling over his comments about 'Bloody Sunday'. On that day in 1972, 26 civil rights protesters and bystanders were shot by the British Army. For more classic clips, go to www.cbc.ca/arch...

One of the best person to explain things as they were
A great speaker
A very very intelligent woman!!👍👏👏👏
Indeed for certain and made more impressive is that fact that she doesn't have any "Higher Education" meaning she doesn't College Degrees etc...
She is powerful
What a strong, beautiful and intelligent woman. I have had something of a crush on the woman since I learned about her a couple of years ago....
i had crush on her daughter Roisin when she was in jail
Still have one
She was quite attractive in her 20s and had a very cute style in clothes too
My hero
Your taste is great
Do people "desire" en mass to have enemies just because? No. It was an outcome of the policies dreamt up by the British establishment in wanting to control this region, much of the time by force, most of the time through direct rule! For many years the Irish were simply fighting for limited administrative control over Irish affairs. States can not colonise & slice up nations then absolve themselves from responsibility for the consequences, especially when refusing to break constitutional ties!
It's what many in Ulster have called for for centuries, but particularly since the creation of Northern Ireland. Our politics are defined by that question to this day, so to suggest that the British government & monarchy are somehow irrelevent when looking at what shapes this region is sublime to the ridiculous. They created Northern Ireland, literally, & have fought tooth and nail militarily to hang on to it. To deny this is to be either disingenuous, ignorant or perhaps blinded by patriotism.
That is why Northern Ireland should belong to the United States 🇺🇸
Some of The best speaks ever!
You now in sweden ,The government just use your identity for reefuges som they can get money from.type .
I have online one wish after all this years,get married with wikitiki ,and live near by a good fishing trouth salmon harr röding,and her a peaceful life.robert

Wow, very engaging speaker
only speaks the truth
John 14:6
“Iesus saith vnto him, I am the Way, the Trueth, and the Life: no man commeth vnto the Father but by mee.”
Well said. Speachless
Yes he's Irish, and? Are you typing for the sake of it? If I actually have to explain to you that the Republic of Ireland & Northern Ireland are two seperate political & economic entities with different currencies & heads of state I really suggest you do some basic reading around the subject before partaking in discourse about it. I'll state again that Northern Ireland, the place that experienced the modern civil unrest & where we're discussing is the part that HASN'T broken away from Britain!
I think northern ireland should be an independent country with no interference from either Ireland or the UK.
Legend🇮🇪
God Bless her.A pity that Bernadette is now on the side lines, through her own choice.
The British troops were not there on a jolly but to try and reduce the number of bombs filled with nails going off in Manchester.
Bernadette Devlin phoned Roy Hattersley in August 1969 and begged him to send in the army as thousands of Catholics would be killed by loyalists gangs and the B specials.. The house that she phoned from was in the Bogside area of Derry and was witnessed by the dozens of people that packed into the hallway of that house.
On the 14 th of August British troops were deployed into Northern Ireland to quell the unrest and keep the peace that had broken down in the Province .
As the troops entered Derry and took up positions at the perimeter of the Bogside, she encouraged the youth of the area to keep uo the rioting that had been going on between he youth and the RUC police and B specials.
She was a radical left Marxist , not interested in peaceful reforms but only interested in propagating a Marxist agenda of forcing a class war on the people .
Mr1611 deleting replies to his inane Yankee doodle drivel on here !
At least I'm not a Roman Catholic. Also Im not the one who is deleting my comments. Stupid RUclips glitches are.
@@Mr-pn2eh I see you're that thick , you have to keep editing your comments .What an inarticulate little trumpanzee .
@@albertclock8396 I don't support trump. He is jesuit educated. He is a wolf in sheeps clothing. Plus I don't support Biden specifically because he is Roman Catholic.
Being what you call an idiot is actually great fun.
In all seriousness I hope Northern Ireland becomes an independent country neither part of Ireland nor the UK.
Plus I never claimed to be very articulate. I suck at typing in general and my stupid auto correct doesn't help me either.
And I truly believe you being English should have no bearing on your opinion whatsover, whens the last time the English public gave a democratic mandate for such imperialist endeavours.
From the NYT
It is ironic that it should have been a patrol of the British Army, which she has so long reviled, that saved her and Mr. McAliskey by rushing them to medical attention;
that the hospital in which she is being expertly treated should be called the Royal Victoria;
that the wretches who shot her - captured by the same British Army patrol that saved her life -should be tried and surely sentenced to long prison terms under the same laws she so long has labeled harsh and discriminatory.
Most of all, it is tragically ironic that the attack on her and her family should so closely resemble the outrages of I.R.A. thugs, for which she has been an energetic apologist.
TheMATTYB1234 what about the fact the brits let the attack happen
TheMATTYB1234 i think you should go and re read some of your history. You have forgotten to add some very important context and facts to your tale.
@Tom Thumb As Devlin has said herself, the Paras did not stop the shooting and certainly didn't rush in. Once the 3rd Battalion Parachute regiment entered the house they waited half an hour without doing anything, McAliskey herself claims that they are waiting for the couple to die. It was only when other British soldiers arrived that she given first aid.
@Tom Thumb "Anyone who knew Bernie would have to agree she told on occasions porky pies" oh you were round Bernadette Devlin's for tea were ye? Yous are old family friends are yous? Oh right my mistake.
"Bernie herself on Ulster TV thanked the Rece team and the colonel of the Regiment for that intervention and for saving her life." citation and does this not contradict your previous statement about her lying.
"If it wasn't for the Brits keeping peace in the North. Wholesale slaughter would have occurred on both sides" just generally I don't know why you brought this up because it has no relevance to what we were discussing but I'll discuss it anyway. "Wholesale slaughter" very possibly could have happened, however it is just as easy to in vision the Troubles going in a very different and far more peaceful way without the Brits given that British soldiers exacerbated tensions with the Falls road Curfew, the Ballymurphy massacre and Bloody Sunday causing hundreds more to join the PIRA and turn away NICRA and peaceful means (1).
"By the way, I'm Irish, but I don't hide from the past." where are you from? And I'm happy enough to talk about the Troubles just not in this ridiculous way where "The British army were good actually."
(1) Peter Pringle and Philip Jacobson (2000). Those Are Real Bullets, Aren't They?.
She's no ad for dentistry.
Good job she isn't doing ads for dentistry then
I like her gap. it.s cute
Just like your no ad for intelligence.
One of the most brilliant women of all time.
Really!! Has anything changed in all these years since she has been an MP?
@@vikramadoddamani i would say that the fact that she can give an articulate voice to women for a start in the 1970s and a working class woman at that is a very positive change in itself
@@vikramadoddamani change takes time and as each second ticks by change happens. One day Ireland will be free. That day is coming, and coming soon 🇮🇪
@@kevobrien4329 No surrender! 🇺🇸
@@Mr-pn2eh that's the stars and stripes you thicko 🙈🤣
They need to make a biopic of her live. A truly remarkable women.
Actually an attempt to do was unsuccessful as you can read on her Wikipedia Page where it says the following "...At the 2008 Cannes Film Festival a biographical film of Devlin was announced,[6] but she stated that "the whole concept is abhorrent to me" and the film was not made...." She was and is just a wonderful person...Long May You Run Bernadette...!!!
Partition then created a population of Irish nationalists left at the behest of a Unionist govt, that in now having something to defend, felt so under seige from nationalist values they wouldn't let a catholic scrub the floor in a government building. Nobody killed over scripture during the troubles. Btw NI today is NOTHING like it was in '77. Also, the provos didn't exist before the Army arrived. If a UN force had of been sent in & reforms put through earlier things could've been much different
The Roman Catholic church is the real synagogue of Satan.
An amazing brave republican woman. She was shot by loyalist paramilitaries. But survived 💚🇮🇪
Her & her husband were shot whilst their house was under surveillance by British forces who then arrested the shooters as they left the scene. Nobody's wondering why they didn't stop them on the way in. But we can guess...🤔
She is a great person.
Bernadette Devlin is a good revolutioner socialist. Long live 4th. Internationale.
Er, Higgins isn't my president. I was responding to your comments on the origins of our social problems in NI, where Britain still governs, not the ROI & their economy, so you need not remind me of the year.
It's not about apologies, it's about understanding history & how it shaped our society, something your comments showed ignorance about. Clearly though if you see things nationalistically, "us & them", you're not going to have an impartial & objective view on Britain's role.
Trouble maker
beware i am the 2nd coming, except i come with a major ripple effect.
@Jahna Holly Roth Its more deeper than generations, deeper than religion.
Someone said, "Give your head a wobble and cop yourself on wee lad." What does that mean?
When is that said?
@@user-ys5yv2nz6w Someone said it to me in comments. They didn't like my remarks about something. I was hoping some Scots or Irish person might know what it meant and enlighten me.
@@gonstotwriter Ah ok. I suppose it means something along the lines of, "Get real" or "Get a grip". You must've said something that they found foolish.
@@user-ys5yv2nz6w Honestly, I made a very critical remark about Devlin's need for immediate and extensive dental work.
@@gonstotwriter What need? I'm sure her dental health was fine. Maybe where you're from you put more value into what someone looks like than what they say but people here view that as a bit vain and shallow.
