I was born and brought up in England (plastic Paddy) and these Loyalists make my skin crawl with their offensive ideologies they obtain, especially in this modern era. God save Ireland. Keep struggling for the cause, it will all pay off.
I am an Irishman & I was born a Protestant & while some of my family are Loyalists I don't understand why anyone on this Island should be loyal till a Government & people who aren't loyal till us.
Half the British army in 1840 were from the island of Ireland 5 years later am gorta mor and the island was exporting food to Britain 🇬🇧. That sums everything up for protestants and Catholics. Nobody starves under the Dail.
Us Irish in the republic of a more progressive mind who have embraced waves of immigration, wether we liked it or not, over the last 25 years are very accepting of foreign culture, religion, language, flags etc. We will accept Unionists also. A United Ireland is imminent wether loyalists like it or not, their position in the north is now untenable. The souths relationship with Britain is at it's strongest ever. Unionsits should be aware of this. We now respect each other and are willing to forgive and forget in order to get on and have peace. There will be a tricolour hanging from all government buildings on this island and will remain to be run from Dublin. It's time for the Unionists to get with the picture they will not be persecuted for religion, belief, culture and will be allowed to have their marches. ALL paramilitary trappings will be removed. It's inevitable so why fight it, it's not like we have sharia law here.
As the bold Ian Paisley, current friend of the old PIRA's chief of staff said "how dare they call our union jack a bloody old union jack" Well sorry Ian it isn't a bloody old union jack 'it is a fucking butchers apron.
Ni citizens account for a large contingent of the British armed forces and the NHS. Notwithstanding.....NI was a fundamentally strategic location during the war in the North Atlantic and continues to be in these unstable times. Although you're entitle to wallow in your own self belief.
I have lived in Northern Ireland my entire life. I have no national pride. In fact, the consistent and intense idiocy, bigotry, and ignorance of people in this country is appalling. It isn't everyone - but it's enough. People are offended by everything, here. Spouting nonsense about their made-up 'heritage' and 'culture', the slightest criticism of which is met with rabid fervour and sometimes rioting. I agree with everything that those two people said.
Someone from london is english and british, someone from cardiff is welsh and british, someone from glagow or dundee is scottish AND british. Northern prods are what? Well, they're not british (despite their instistng that they are). They are irish subjects of the U.K.. Therefore they are IRISH, just like me. They just seem to think that the fact that they owe their allegiance to an english queen somehow makes them better than me. God love them, they're fierce eejits if they can't see that.
Woofer59 The U.K. is the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Northern prods don't live in Britain, they live in Ireland, you dope. Therefore they're not British. They are U.K. subjects of the English Queen who rules over the U.K. Eamonn O'Riain is a person with a little more cop-om than your good self!!
They are British [not technically of course, they could call themselves UKites or something but in reality they are British which means they have no *national* identity which is a bit pathetic really]. They cling on to the Jack like a drowning man clings to a life buoy because that is where they get their very existence/mandate from, without that flag they are nothing.
Their ancestors came from mainland Britain, the problem with them is that they claim everyone else in the North are British. They are an ignorant bunch of uneducated bafoons. Well most of them anyway.
Has anyone at the Beeb ever explained to Nolan the meaning of democracy?Have they not told him that the Statelet of N.I is not a Country?This little publicly funded lover of all things British, insults Irish people on a daily basis on his various radio shows.Violent Loyalism is given a by ball,while pragmatic Nationalism is treated with amusement and contempt.Mike Nesbitt played the same game as an anchor man at UTV before becoming an apologist for violent ne'er do wells.Nolan?
@Britannia They are not British..they are Irish...Northern Ireland is a made up state created by invaders of Eire. One united Ireland is required. Any traitor that lives in Ireland and wants to be called British should be deported to England or Scotland where their arsehole family originated from.
If only the bigots in Northern Ireland would take heed in the British from the mainland, these callers are spot on, loyalists get offended about everything and anything
"No Surrender"? No need to, you lot already lost. Sinn Fein is in Stormont, they are on the PSNI Board, in the Belfast City Council, and the Parades Commission. The whole world watched the racism of the "certain Unionists" this summer. The Unionists told the Catholics to observe the law when it served them, now that there is power sharing they disregard it and riot and complain about a democratic decision regarding the Union Jack. "Chaill tu." Look it up.
My local town hall sometimes flies the Irish Tricolour and other times doesn't. I'm not going to take to the streets if they don't (I am from the ROI).
English people don't like the British flag being used to shield violence and discrimination. For a simple reason, it's not medieval nor colonial times anymore. The time is kind of stuck in NI. UK or the rest of the world doesn't care about flag wars and sectarian things. All that is ancient history in most of Europe. Belfast makes world news once a year - in July - because of the march of the orange order and knuckleheads attacking the police. That's it and to be honest, it's not rewarded with much sympathy. The problem is there's way too much violence and hatred and nobody in the NI is willing to do something (substantial) about it. Most people want peace but basically no one is willing to give up any fraction of comfort, dominance or power. The state and police is too soft, and even though NI came a long way, there are still happening (on daily basis) such things, that people wouldn't be able to get away with anywhere else in the 1st world.
I used to be in favour of flying both flags but because it is winding up those ignorant assholes who used to do everything they could to torment Republicans, I am enjoying their distress.
Nolan is nothing but a loyalist sympathiser with a caveman mentality. No wonder so many of them fill out the audiences of his TV show. The fact that the BBC employs him and gives him so many high profile political debate programmes just shows how little impartiality they have.
Unfortunately no amount of fleg waving will convince the mainland that Norn Iron is British unless the are members of the Connservative party. While living in London I discovered that even Shankill hard men in the capital were still referred to as "Paddy". The island could be the most prosperous place in Europe if the Shinners and DUP could sort it out. Technology, young educated work force, Northern engineering and shipbuilding skills! FFS. Start getting those ships built at H&W again instead of Korea or Finland. Just a though...

@The Dalriadans If you are from the Republic of Ireland you are Irish, if you are from Northern Ireland you are Northern Irish. Even if you keep trying to call me Irish, at the end of the day I hold a British passport, and there is nothing about me that's Irish; I don't know how to speak Irish and I know nothing of its culture and I was also raised Protestant. I'm sorry that Ireland was separated into 2 but you have to adapt and move on and not dwell on the past! Our ancestors may have been Irish hundreds of years ago but we are not Irish anymore.
@The Dalriadans you are clearly the delusional one, you say everything that is indeed true but you top it off with your own personal opinion and seem angry towards me just because I don't agree with your opinion. Yes the Island is Ireland with 2 countries Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland but people living in Northern Ireland have the right to choose what they want to identify as whether it's Irish or British. If someone chooses to be British you do not have the right to complain and say otherwise! I identify as Northern Irish because I am from Northern Ireland and I have a British passport so therefore I am a British citizen not Irish. The republic of Ireland is an independent country so therefore they are Irish; and like I said I am a British citizen from Northern Ireland as Northern Ireland is apart of the UK, so I am Northern Irish just like someone from England or Scotland is English or Scottish; so get that into your delusional angry mind.
I can totally understand why people would not want to come to NI (I was born here and have moved back in the last two months from London) All people hear about NI is hoods, masks and rioting in the street.. Its completely understandable why no one would want to come here if all they hear is the negative. The sheer embarasment of friends in mainland England asking what all this craziness is about is beyond me. Its definatley not very 'British' anyway.
United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland actually. Great Britain is an island. Ireland is an island. England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland are part of the UK.
My great regret of the troubles is that the IRA were bombing England.They should have been bombing Scotland.Might have made some improvements actually.
This isn't what British people think of the flag situation in Northern Ireland, this is what 1 or 2 sell out politicians think. How can it be right that the British people in Northern Ireland cannot fly their own flag? Absolute disgrace.
Unbelievable that Nolan would be allowed use a microphone to broadcast incitement like that against a democratic decision of democratically elected public representatives.
Hi Michael, You are absolutely right and i agree, and my post wasn't entirely in response to what he reported on in this interview...more a general reflection on his reporting of the whole affair. What i meant about his views on the protest was, that he sounded like it was the worst thing ever to happen to Belfast..shops closing, reduced rates needed etc So yes Sir, i agree, i should have posted this on one of his other videos. I just his photo, and i flipped!!..lol
As a member of the Union, I would imagine that what happens in Northern Ireland is of great concern to the English, the Scottish, and the Welsh. Not to mention the fact that £6 Billion a year is poured into the Northern Irish State; a State where 76% of it's GDP is subsidised by State funding. As far as they are concerned, Northern Ireland must present itself as a functional State and begin contributing at least SOMETHING to the Union, other than just violence. They are simply frustrated.
I am a pagan so lets get something straight here, I have no affiliation with catholics or protestants so I am not biased in any way shape or form, however I constantly see these videos on youtube about protestants, loyalists, Orangemen, presbyterians or whatever they wish to be known as and all I witness is a large group of people who claim to be British!! who call themselves Orangemen, Yet are born in Ireland!! I dont want to hear someone shout its British because it is anything but British!!.
The only Nation capable of affecting this stability would be Scotland, which happens to be the traditional keystone of the Union. Consistently polls have shown that those living on the mainland are generally in favour of a United Ireland; a fact which explains the frustrated attitude shown by those in the Great Britain toward NI. These riots and the general disregard for the rule of law do nothing to benefit that figure, nor to enrich Northern Ireland's sense of place or purpose in the Union.
Southern England talking about what Britain wants. Britain is a union but its so diverse I dont think you can use that term to describe a General consensus
Yeah, easy to say the word tolerance, but a lot more difficult to exercise restraint when there are grave injustices taking place against the loyal British citizens of Northern Ireland. They have had to stomach ex mas murdering terrorists released from prison and walk the corridors of power, governing a country that for 4 decaded attempted to destroy through bullet and bomb, murdering thousands of British citizens. I would like to see how that would go down in England, and see how many English people would show tolerance!
Injustices against the British. Oh fuck up. Look at the injustices done to Catholics that started the troubles. Inequality, bloody Sunday etc. Civil unjustices caused the problems. I dont vote Sinn feinn. Too dodgy for my liking
C Mac Fuck up? Nice use of the freedom of speech there lmao. You are right about one thing, Sinn Fein are dodgy, but that is stating the obvious when you consider how much blood they have on their hands. They are violent mafia thugs
UlsterDarkKnight freed terrorists you say walking the halls of Stormont.. Ermm what about ya own terrorists walking and employed in Stormont, the late david Irvine(ex loyalist bomber) billy Hutchinson(murdered 2 Catholics) and that's only scratching the surface.. Winky Irvine the up and coming PUP representative/ uvf commander also.
UlsterDarkKnight if it makes ypu feel any better. Maggie Thatcher n Tony Blair were very close to letting go of NI. Thatcher hated NI. Mafia thugs? Please. The Nationalist Paramilitaries dont have former guys with nicknames lik "Brigadeer of Bling" for starters. Dont start with that mafia nonsense. Its both sided. But not those who just want a job and a family. It is radicals like you who dont let go of the past. Ppl of todqy do not give a flying fuck about Ulster being British or Irish. They dont care about your flag. Look at all the names? Shankill, Rathcoole, Ballymurphy etc etc. All Irish words. Do yer homework kiddo.
Now to make a point here this battle was fought on Irish soil by a Dutch protestant king and a Scottish king James who was also king of England, this battle was not fought for the sake of making a religious divide between protestant and catholic nor was it to divide any part of Ireland from another! it was fought to decide who would take the throne and as such it was King william who won the battle, King Billy as the non catholics call him, after the battle they all went their seperate ways...
Two foreign old monarchs In battle did join. Each wanted their head on the back of a coin. If the Irish had sense They would throw both in the Boyne And partition into the ocean.
Tired of Loyalists being criticised and belittled because they want to fly the flag and proud of unionist symbols. That being said most people in Northern Ireland want peace and prosperity
Stephen just doesn't get it. The English don't give a flying fig about NI. Most of them couldn't point out Belfast on a map (same goes for Dublin BTW), some would struggle to find Northern Ireland. It's not that their stupid, most just don't want to know.
+byrdale They do why else would they block Irish home rule and Irish independence the english have no clue about what in their interest for people drink more then the Irish.
Robert Kelly that was blocked by the government btw do you honestly think that the government represents us we English people could not give a fuck about NI it's about bloody time we English scots and Welsh had a vote/talk about NI and tell them how we feel about them being a part of the U.K.
Lol,Nolan is feeling unloved by Mother England,when is he going to realise the English consider Ulster Unionists an embarrassment,300 years in Ireland and they still feel an affinity with England/Scotland ,the countries that spawned the former colonists we are stuck with,nobody wants them it seems.Well maybe you do have a choice ,Scotland also has a problem with anti-Catholic sectarianism ,I am sure you would all feel right at home there.
every other flag is flown on designated days, I hate Nolan, he pretends to be an equal referee even though he is completely one sided, completely unionist. He shouldn't be allowed air time he is a bigot and he hate mongers unchallenged.
I don't understand, his name is Nolan {O'Nualain} which is an Irish name so how would he be a bigot and completely Unionist ? I know catholics who are not very political might not care too much one way or the other but someone with the name Nolan would hardly be 100% a Unionist *No Surrender* type ?
Heinrich Dorfmann Names don't really matter, he is a protestant who was raised a unionist, im sure he has irish blood, but literally everyone here has irish blood in them somewhere along the line
jackmanorishe Sorry my man, but names sometimes do matter. Very often those with a hint of anything Irish or RC about their name/history are the worst offenders. They seem to go the extra mile to be 'uber prod!'
Coming from NI I'm quite content to say I'm Irish in the UK, but while I have a great affinity for the British and share much of their culture, I ain't British and could never identity as such. We are kinda in limbo in NI, part of the UK but not British, and not part of the republic and don't have much in common with those from the republic. We are a different Irish to the folk in the south, they have no clue about our culture and the troubles. NI is a manufactured state which means its population are left in limbo....we have been cut adrift.
Why not have a neutral flag that it acceptable to both communities in official places such as Town Hall? Or just fly the Union Jack & the Tricolour together. It's wrong for one side to dominate the political & cultural Zeitgeist at the expense of the other. Either you find a compromise or accept both flags flying over official state buildings.
It's hardly hijacking the flag, for it is the flag of their country bruv... 'Britishness' is a dying concept anyway. People in Britian mostly identify themselves as English, Scottish and Welsh. Right too.
Jonathan, First of all, i did not say all that was done during the protests was right nor good, but one thing i will say is, all of what you have listed in your post, is a lot better than no warning bombs exploding during busy Christmas shopping days. Belfast seemed to be able to pick itself up and carry on during 35 years of bloodshed and mayhem, but yet because of this protest, Nolan was making it sound like it was the end of the bloody world! Give me protests over bombs and murders anytime.
When i say free dental treatment thats in Wales . but when you or your family gets treat its on the NHS,. just look at the SNPs manifesto. Basicly no free anything for at least 10 years,or until in their words Scotland can afford to do so
Plus Great Britain is just England, Scotland and Wales, with Northern Ireland added it becomes the United Kingdom of Great Britain AND Northern Ireland.
"BTW Ulster is part of Britain, even if it is on another island." FAIL "Guess what there are a few other islands that fly the flag," Yes they are called Colonies, oh im sorry I mean Overseas Territories.
When your 'people' (as you like to exclude yourself unfortunately) came over to this country, horrid war was initiated causing Ireland to be divided. Ireland unfree will never be at peace. It's true. Modern England too is pushing for this. They love the Irish.
GB sends NI £400 million a week - let's fund our NHS instead!

I can totally understand why people would not want to come to NI (I was born here and have moved back in the last two months from London) All people hear about NI is hoods, masks and rioting in the street.. Its completely understandable why no one would want to come here if all they hear is the negative. The sheer embarasment of friends in mainland England asking what all this craziness is about is beyond me. Its definatley not very 'British' anyway.
I love how people are talking about the English because of a few people. England has over 53 million people.
Make us our own free Irish country. Thats how it should be.
its hard to tell which one is the burger
Both sides should be allowed to fly their flag equally without causing offense. Time to put differences aside for the sake of future generations.
Stephen lives in England
United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland actually. Great Britain is an island. Ireland is an island. England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland are part of the UK.
My great regret of the troubles is that the IRA were bombing England.They should have been bombing Scotland.Might have made some improvements actually.
This isn't what British people think of the flag situation in Northern Ireland, this is what 1 or 2 sell out politicians think. How can it be right that the British people in Northern Ireland cannot fly their own flag? Absolute disgrace.
british flag is a flag of shame
If it quacks and walks with a waddle, then it's a duck.
Unbelievable that Nolan would be allowed use a microphone to broadcast incitement like that against a democratic decision of democratically elected public representatives.
Hi Michael, You are absolutely right and i agree, and my post wasn't entirely in response to what he reported on in this interview...more a general reflection on his reporting of the whole affair.
What i meant about his views on the protest was, that he sounded like it was the worst thing ever to happen to Belfast..shops closing, reduced rates needed etc
So yes Sir, i agree, i should have posted this on one of his other videos.
I just his photo, and i flipped!!..lol
To all the loyalists watching this.....
😂😂😂
Northern Ireland pays its TAX, it fought in both World Wars!
If England doesn’t remember what the IRA did to them, God help you!
What happened with the flag business? I assume a solution was found, can anyone tell me how it was resolved?
the flag stayed down ,which was rightfuly so ,the majority wanted it down , the loyaist rioted for abit longer than gave up .
WELL SAID ILL BE VISITING SOON
As a member of the Union, I would imagine that what happens in Northern Ireland is of great concern to the English, the Scottish, and the Welsh. Not to mention the fact that £6 Billion a year is poured into the Northern Irish State; a State where 76% of it's GDP is subsidised by State funding.
As far as they are concerned, Northern Ireland must present itself as a functional State and begin contributing at least SOMETHING to the Union, other than just violence. They are simply frustrated.
What does Ireland nationally get in Reparations?
We live in the uk though and we also live on the british isles
Correction, they are the most Irish people in Britain.
I am a pagan so lets get something straight here, I have no affiliation with catholics or protestants so I am not biased in any way shape or form, however I constantly see these videos on youtube about protestants, loyalists, Orangemen, presbyterians or whatever they wish to be known as and all I witness is a large group of people who claim to be British!! who call themselves Orangemen, Yet are born in Ireland!! I dont want to hear someone shout its British because it is anything but British!!.
The only Nation capable of affecting this stability would be Scotland, which happens to be the traditional keystone of the Union. Consistently polls have shown that those living on the mainland are generally in favour of a United Ireland; a fact which explains the frustrated attitude shown by those in the Great Britain toward NI.
These riots and the general disregard for the rule of law do nothing to benefit that figure, nor to enrich Northern Ireland's sense of place or purpose in the Union.
Southern England talking about what Britain wants. Britain is a union but its so diverse I dont think you can use that term to describe a General consensus
Nolan shot down in flames....again
2:58 - Smartest quote of this debate
Yeah, easy to say the word tolerance, but a lot more difficult to exercise restraint when there are grave injustices taking place against the loyal British citizens of Northern Ireland. They have had to stomach ex mas murdering terrorists released from prison and walk the corridors of power, governing a country that for 4 decaded attempted to destroy through bullet and bomb, murdering thousands of British citizens. I would like to see how that would go down in England, and see how many English people would show tolerance!
Injustices against the British. Oh fuck up. Look at the injustices done to Catholics that started the troubles. Inequality, bloody Sunday etc. Civil unjustices caused the problems. I dont vote Sinn feinn. Too dodgy for my liking
C Mac Fuck up? Nice use of the freedom of speech there lmao. You are right about one thing, Sinn Fein are dodgy, but that is stating the obvious when you consider how much blood they have on their hands. They are violent mafia thugs
UlsterDarkKnight freed terrorists you say walking the halls of Stormont.. Ermm what about ya own terrorists walking and employed in Stormont, the late david Irvine(ex loyalist bomber) billy Hutchinson(murdered 2 Catholics) and that's only scratching the surface.. Winky Irvine the up and coming PUP representative/ uvf commander also.
UlsterDarkKnight if it makes ypu feel any better. Maggie Thatcher n Tony Blair were very close to letting go of NI. Thatcher hated NI. Mafia thugs? Please. The Nationalist Paramilitaries dont have former guys with nicknames lik "Brigadeer of Bling" for starters. Dont start with that mafia nonsense. Its both sided. But not those who just want a job and a family. It is radicals like you who dont let go of the past. Ppl of todqy do not give a flying fuck about Ulster being British or Irish. They dont care about your flag. Look at all the names? Shankill, Rathcoole, Ballymurphy etc etc. All Irish words. Do yer homework kiddo.
Ulster is a quaint village compared to the shenanigans going on in London.
well said mate they are indeed
is Stephen Nolan a loyalist, it must kill him having a catholic name or a gaelic surname
Yup! Nolan is a very common name in ROI, it's a surname as Gaeilge.
+thomas kane Stephen Nolan certainly isn't a Loyalist, he might be a Unionist but hes not bigoted. He even calls himself Irish.
+Jonathan Po Nolan is neutral he a presenter.
Edwina Currie callling other people mad!
Now to make a point here this battle was fought on Irish soil by a Dutch protestant king and a Scottish king James who was also king of England, this battle was not fought for the sake of making a religious divide between protestant and catholic nor was it to divide any part of Ireland from another! it was fought to decide who would take the throne and as such it was King william who won the battle, King Billy as the non catholics call him, after the battle they all went their seperate ways...
Two foreign old monarchs
In battle did join.
Each wanted their head
on the back of a coin.
If the Irish had sense
They would throw both in the Boyne
And partition into the ocean.
Even the real Irish are embarrassed by you
Nolan is such a slabber
Dose
Tired of Loyalists being criticised and belittled because they want to fly the flag and proud of unionist symbols. That being said most people in Northern Ireland want peace and prosperity
Quick question. When the voting majority in NI are RC, what happens to this place ?
Not what as went on before,we don't want to be superior.. Just equal !!!
"Chaill tu."
Stephen I live in Northern Ireland... its a hell hole
*****
Northern Ireland is becoming a socialist state.
@@bighands69 hopefully not
THE union flag , Is the flag of no country . FACT
And the award for most retarded comment on You Tube goes to.
Why not include the whole of Ulster in Northern Ireland then?
I think you're the thick one, the St.Patrick's cross is on the Union flag.
Yeh so
Stephen just doesn't get it. The English don't give a flying fig about NI. Most of them couldn't point out Belfast on a map (same goes for Dublin BTW), some would struggle to find Northern Ireland. It's not that their stupid, most just don't want to know.
+byrdale They do why else would they block Irish home rule and Irish independence the english have no clue about what in their interest for people drink more then the Irish.
Robert Kelly that was blocked by the government btw do you honestly think that the government represents us we English people could not give a fuck about NI it's about bloody time we English scots and Welsh had a vote/talk about NI and tell them how we feel about them being a part of the U.K.
***** They want to remain British people in the Republic sick of NI.
Lol,Nolan is feeling unloved by Mother England,when is he going to realise the English consider Ulster Unionists an embarrassment,300 years in Ireland and they still feel an affinity with England/Scotland ,the countries that spawned the former colonists we are stuck with,nobody wants them it seems.Well maybe you do have a choice ,Scotland also has a problem with anti-Catholic sectarianism ,I am sure you would all feel right at home there.
We don't want them get them off our streets Ireland and Scotland ashamed of my protestant faith!
Both have voted 🗳to be in the E.U.
Yeah
Do away with the Matching season. That's so stupid to the rest of us.
every other flag is flown on designated days, I hate Nolan, he pretends to be an equal referee even though he is completely one sided, completely unionist. He shouldn't be allowed air time he is a bigot and he hate mongers unchallenged.
I don't understand, his name is Nolan {O'Nualain} which is an Irish name so how would he be a bigot and completely Unionist ? I know catholics who are not very political might not care too much one way or the other but someone with the name Nolan would hardly be 100% a Unionist *No Surrender* type ?
Heinrich Dorfmann Names don't really matter, he is a protestant who was raised a unionist, im sure he has irish blood, but literally everyone here has irish blood in them somewhere along the line
Heinrich Dorfmann His ancestors took the soup! Just like all the Quinn or Mcguiness Prod's in Ireland.
BemusedBarfly watch the first Nolan show after the flag was taken from city hall, and ul know what I mean
jackmanorishe
Sorry my man, but names sometimes do matter. Very often those with a hint of anything Irish or RC about their name/history are the worst offenders. They seem to go the extra mile to be 'uber prod!'
he is putting an unfair mark on northern ireland, not everyone is rioting and causing chaos
Coming from NI I'm quite content to say I'm Irish in the UK, but while I have a great affinity for the British and share much of their culture, I ain't British and could never identity as such. We are kinda in limbo in NI, part of the UK but not British, and not part of the republic and don't have much in common with those from the republic. We are a different Irish to the folk in the south, they have no clue about our culture and the troubles. NI is a manufactured state which means its population are left in limbo....we have been cut adrift.
+Ali74 We do know about N.I we do care it the English that don't care NI are out fellow countrymen despite being Protestant majority.
@@RobertK1993 I strongly agree,and you are as much Irish to us as anyone here down South 💚
We are Northern Irish, we are not Irish
But soon to be.@@NorthernIrishman
When are Ulstermen going to grow up?
Ulster has voted European then Irish and two counties British!Protestant and Catholics have voted accept democracy!
Why not have a neutral flag that it acceptable to both communities in official places such as Town Hall? Or just fly the Union Jack & the Tricolour together. It's wrong for one side to dominate the political & cultural Zeitgeist at the expense of the other. Either you find a compromise or accept both flags flying over official state buildings.
I'm Scottish and I support the Loyalist campaign.
Hands over the Water
You canny be both unless yer frae Carstairs hen! The Queen o England 🇬🇧 nuugh!
It was Unionist leaders who accepted the six county area annexing it from the rest of Ulster remember. Read your history.
It's hardly hijacking the flag, for it is the flag of their country bruv... 'Britishness' is a dying concept anyway. People in Britian mostly identify themselves as English, Scottish and Welsh. Right too.
Loyalists created by the crown and betrayed by the crown planted for dominance and abandoned in failure. None of this bothers me as a nationalist.
Jonathan, First of all, i did not say all that was done during the protests was right nor good, but one thing i will say is, all of what you have listed in your post, is a lot better than no warning bombs exploding during busy Christmas shopping days.
Belfast seemed to be able to pick itself up and carry on during 35 years of bloodshed and mayhem, but yet because of this protest, Nolan was making it sound like it was the end of the bloody world!
Give me protests over bombs and murders anytime.
(One of the most important qualities of being British is tolerance) HAHAHAHAHA.
why should they move south its there country and land that was stolen from them without them having any say
When i say free dental treatment thats in Wales . but when you or your family gets treat its on the NHS,. just look at the SNPs manifesto. Basicly no free anything for at least 10 years,or until in their words Scotland can afford to do so
Plus Great Britain is just England, Scotland and Wales, with Northern Ireland added it becomes the United Kingdom of Great Britain AND Northern Ireland.
No because Great Britain is an Island, and Northern Ireland is not a part of the island of Great Britain.
UK out of ireland !!!!!
"BTW Ulster is part of Britain, even if it is on another island." FAIL
"Guess what there are a few other islands that fly the flag," Yes they are called Colonies, oh im sorry I mean Overseas Territories.
See northern Ireland is not a colony cause reasons even the UN doesnt think it is cause reasons
its not the Queen talking shit on the Radio. To me the majority of England look out for themselves, they don't care about us Scottish nor Ulster.
When your 'people' (as you like to exclude yourself unfortunately) came over to this country, horrid war was initiated causing Ireland to be divided. Ireland unfree will never be at peace. It's true. Modern England too is pushing for this. They love the Irish.
