Queen Elizabeth II’s complicated history with the island of Ireland

- Northern Ireland's political problems meant there was no First Minister to greet the new King on his visit to Belfast. But it wasn't so long ago that the Northern Ireland "Troubles" would have meant the visit itself was nearly unthinkable. (Subscribe: bit.ly/C4_News...)
In the 1970s and 80s the Queen managed just one, heavily-guarded, visit. The peace and reconciliation that came about later in her reign culminated in her historic visit to the Republic of Ireland - described by her son and heir as her greatest achievement.

The fact Michelle O’Neill, leader of Sinn Fein, attended her funeral service at Westminster Abbey speaks volumes. It would’ve been unthinkable 30 years ago. While our Monarchy doesn’t have overt political power, never under estimate the soft power that they and especially Her Majesty had.
And the fact he was invited also speaks volumes...

The relationship with Ireland is a lot less complicated when you take the Tory Party out of the equation.
I'm no Tory but tbf it wasn't just them. Most politicians preferred to send in soldiers than just get people talking.
John Major started the Good Friday negotiations.
As an Irish person I've zero time for the monarchy but in the woman herself did her best to build bridges. It was a big thing for her to lay a wreath at the memorial for our volounteers.
As an Englishman I have never had much time for the monarchy either, but did end up having respect for her as a human being and think she did her best in the role she was born into and never asked for. Only ever had time for 3 of the family, Elizabeth II as I got older, Diana and her son Harry. None of them left in the family one way or the other now. I worked in Dublin for 6 months setting up the IT for the port tunnel job 20 odd years ago now, back when I was a young man. Made many memories visiting Temple Bar area and spent a small fortune there too most week nights! Been years since I visited, but really want to one day. Visited Kill, Killybegs and Cork, you have a beautiful country!
As an Irish/English/Scottish person (a one-man joke) I agree with every word, spot on
Queen Elizabeth did try to build bridges 🌉 out of the division of the pasted. I believe she would of did more . I hope one day everyone see what she was trying to do . Build a better future
As an Anglo-Irish person, I agree.
Well said. As a child of the seventies growing up in Ulster ,Marty McGuinness shaking hands with the Queen, was just surreal and totally incapsulated the spirit of change we all needed.
People forget the atrocities the British conducted in Ireland. I admire her for her appearance in Dublin to acknowledge this. She was a great ambassador
Irish people don't forget.
@whataboutlove Whataboutism doesn't work with us Ulster Unionists
@whataboutlove
"Irish people forget the terrorist campaign across the UK"?
No, we did not.
However, while the overwhelming majority of us did not support it, we understood where it came from.
Back in reality, when every democratic avenue is closed off, what other option is there except violence?
Terrorist?
Freedom fighter?
Guerrilla?
Take your pick
Given Britain's and the UK's blood-boltered string of atrocities around the world during its imperial history, no-one, repeat NO-ONE, in the UK gets to claim any moral high ground.
@言行一致 they tortured the Irish people to speak English it was illegal to speak Irish in Ireland you would be shot dead if you spoke Irish that's why are language has disappeared in history
People forget the atrocities that the IRA and INLA conducted in Ireland, Britain and elsewhere. I admire Irish people who acknowledge this. I also agree with you on your other points and best wishes to Ireland and all Irish people. The amount of goodwill in Britain for the Irish has been massively ignored; and exploited for political ends.
The Irish never forget, the English never remember.
Of course, the victims will never forget but it is their choice not to forget but it is the victors who write the narrative. This describes the relationship between the English and Irish
Excellent comment
Ireland was civilised by England and the Queen. They did not have any culture before we arrived to teach them all
Says a Spaniard
@@johnbuffaloiam9741 I believe every Irishman should have the right to a united ireland !!!! Under British Rule !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
one wishes the British history in Ireland was taught better if at all in UK schools
Starting with not referring to Ireland as a component of “Great Britain “ would be a good start
@@patrickdoyle9304 Exactly, Patrick Doyle (name of my uncle)
THIS (TRUTHFULLY INCLUDING ALL ‘GORY’ DETAILS)
BUT ALSO
THE ‘REAL’ IMPACT “THE EMPIRE” [including ‘monarchy’; political; socioeconomic/‘class based structures’ etc] had:
On people & countries around the world;
THE TRUTH about ‘beneficiaries/victims’ [including NAMES, DATES, NUMBERS/FIGURES];
WHO WAS RESPONSIBLE/CULPABLE OF ATROCITIES (and who benefited/lost);
WHAT WAS THE ‘POWER STRUCTURE/HIERARCHY’;
WHAT WERE/ARE THE ‘PROS & CONS’ AND;
CAN WE (as humans/‘a nation’) JUSTIFY [and ‘be comfortable’] THE ‘WAYS AND MEANS’ USED?
I remember being taught about ancient history, then the ‘dark/middle age’ era (‘AD’ - i.e. Vikings, Normans & Tudors).. THEN “BRITANNIA RULED THE WAVES”; ‘there was some slavery’ and ‘THE INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION’ (then ‘world wars’)
They skip ALL the atrocities across the world; the VERY DYNAMIC/PRECARIOUS political & religious situations throughout the world; THE ENDLESS EUROPEAN WARS; the REAL ‘face of colonialism’…
…while trying to PREACH about Shakespeare…
WHOLE CURRICULUM is about reinforcing the RACIST [Capitalist] socioeconomic & class structures, which ENCOURAGE obedience & compliance; and DISCOURAGE ‘critical thinking, creativity, individuality & freedom of expression’
@@patrickdoyle9304 or my biggest pet peeve, when someone say we are part of the British Isles. Don't care how typically the English refer to us but we are not and we don't recognize the term British Isles as we are not a British Island.
And Shakespeare isn't even standard Irish text book either.... And I never learnt about the history of Jamaica in my Irish history class... Fascists man 😋
My grandparents remembered when Winston churchill sent the Black and Tans to Ireland and gave them a free hand to behave as they saw fit. They committed atrocious acts of violence against men, women and children, including rape and murder.
My grandparents often spoke about what they endured, under the B & T’s, before they passed. The Irish have long memories.
The Black and Tans didn’t do anything Irish nationalists hadn’t already been doing. So don’t pretend you have an objection to rough conduct.
The Black and Tans were crack Great War troops from all over the empire, and they were smashing the IRA to bits at their own game. That’s the true reason the Irish don’t like them.
Sadly, they were pulled out by a spineless parliament, under American pressure, before victory could be achieved.
The list of British atrocities in Ireland is very, very long. Their fight against imperialism over centuries is inspiring. And soon the whole island will be free and united, as it always should’ve been.
@@raymondhaskin9449
The difference is Ireland belongs to the IRISH people NOT England. The nationalists want the English OUT of Ireland.
So you obviously excuse the behavior of the Black and Tans. My grandparents were just simple farmers and had to live in fear under the Black and Tans.
@@raymondhaskin9449 you are talking utter shite another English person refusing the truth about the occupation of Ireland.
@@patriciayoung569
I don’t excuse bad behaviour. Im just saying, the IRA were responsible for most crime and murder in Ireland.
If the behaviour of the police makes you upset - then you should be even more upset by the IRA’s behaviour. Which included ethnic cleansing of Protestants, kidnap, torture, arson and so on.
It’s the British education system, they are not taught the history of what Britain did in Ireland so they simply don’t know. I have many great British friends from working together and they just don’t know about it. Also not mentioning the famine in this report while Ireland was under British rule is a big omission…
@Laurence O'Connor exactly my point
So you went through our education system to know this? But also the Irish one? That's impressive, I must say.
@Laurence O'Connor So teachers don't need to be paid? That's a revelation. What a profound quote lol
It is in the English education system. It's covered as part of a History syllabus at A level, on most exam boards.
@@Will-ti7gi not many take history at A-level though. It’s mandatory learning in ireland
The Queen’s state visit to Ireland needs to feature in the upcoming final two seasons of The Crown. It was probably one of her greatest achievements as monarch which is why I think it’s significant.
Why are British royals German?
I think this report needed to go quite a bit further back into history to full explore and explain the context of this matter.
It goes back to Richard LeClare - Strongbow
Ireland's history with the monarchy goes back many hundreds of years and not confined to 'The Troubles' . A ferocious history. However, I admire a woman who took an Oath at 19 years of age and kept it until she expired. Not many in the world have done that. May she rest in peace.
Well said.
Yes this report didn’t really make sense as it provided zero historical context
Amen.
She got paid very well for it, of course she kept the oath. What else should she do?
I thought British Monarchy has nothing in power to do that but the Parliament.
Some women. I'm not a fan of the royal family. Lot of seedy stuff going on with that lot but I reckon she was a gooden. Fair play her and I hope God looks kindly on her.
Queen Elizabeth II was a remarkable woman and I, as an Irish Republican, admire, respect her for work to make the world a better place.
LIzzie in a box lalala lalala......
It is time to move on from the troubles of the past. We Irish have suffered for far too long. We can try to forgive but we should never forget.
@James Gallagher...But if others say the ''never forget'' you lot call the ''playing the victim''. The pain the Irish have is the pain many have the commonwealth. The Irish have more in common with them that the British. Wheter you like it or not the Irish faced alot dihumanization like others faced in the British empire.
@@onlineonlineaccount2368 I completely agree and respect that others have also faced dehumanization. But the video is about Ireland... therefore I am commenting about Ireland.
@@aspacebeyond I know bro i get your point. I just adding to the fact that Irish really sufferd under the British to extend that its still visible today like North Ierland where you have ethnically Irish people that feel more connected to the UK then with their fellow Irish in the Republic of Ierland. Remember the British said no dogs, no irish no blacks ( as in no Carribeans). They compared all you lot to animals. The Irish have the full right express their pain.
@@onlineonlineaccount2368 The Irish absolutely have the right to express their pain, ain't nobody arguing that.
@@onlineonlineaccount2368 are you referencing north or south Ireland; it is like two countries, ya know?
It’s like she was being rammed down their throats whether they cared or not.

Agreed! The the Unionists can shoot and bomb their way to independence if they want.
A complicated, sad history. I commend her trip to the Garden of Remembrance but her comments were tepid at best. It was nice she opened in Irish. Hopefully, the future will bring true independence and a country that’s whole again as One. No more violence.
Could not agree more ONE Ireland NOT divided
Irlanda Republicana e Irlanda Monarquista podem conviver em paz, não precisa unificar, cada qual possui sua própria história.
Why do no British media use taoiseach the correct and more common title for our "PM"
Because the British think they are superior
Because they don't know it. If they do they are unsure of it's pronunciation. Obvious. But why would they? They call premiere the French prime minister. They are speaking in English, after all!
They do. Occasionally. Maybe more likely on Channel 4 and the BBC.
@@b3108 yes, and rarely pronounce it correctly.
@@fromireland8663 because the Anglo language can’t get their head around the Celtic language so in their mind it’s better to no attempt to avoid embarrassment of pronouncing it wrong
She no more led the country than Paddington Bear ffs. Just like the Irish president no more leads the country than a leprechaun ! Neither had power to speak against the prevailing politics of their countries - Their positions still can't.
Personally as an Irish man, I say rest in peace Elizabeth 🙏
@Laurence O'Connor ooh I touched a nerve. What I said remains true.
The Queen was sincere and dignified in attempting to bridge divides, and I respect her for that. The English education system should really provide more awareness of its own historical atrocities, which may help regular English citizens to understand why their country is so often reviled across the world and in former colonies in particular. Although if they went through all the atrocities they'd of course have no time left to learn their own domestic history.
Coming from the uk we should definitely learn more about our historical relationship with nations and the good and bad stuff with how we impacted other nations. I mean it’s good to be aware of things, I hope we teach more of Irish history in our schools.
This is the exact argument I’ve been making!
would also help their nationalistic protestants in northern Ireland voting to stay in the UK and all that fucking bullshit.
How honest are you about yours? How honest is anyone? Does your education system contain your involvement in those atrocities?
@@johnnypickles5256 England is in a class of it's own for atrocities

Well as a German who love both the Irish and our Anglo-Saxon counterparts the english... I would say the present English are not responsible for the sad past as weel I am not responsible for the sad German past.... There is so much hate in this world so many harm so many people has died in the troubles... Could this time not be a time to forgive... 🙏
They are responsible as they keep the electing politicians that support their colonialism
@Albion my I ....There is a lot ''hate'' in this world because there is no fair justice. No one said that current English population is responsible for the evil acts of British empire in the past ( they did a lot of inhumane activities that many English there not to read of visualize in their minds). But they are current beneficiaries of all the wealth, capital, resources etc. The British colonial administrations extracted to the UK to benefit the UK and wealth we they live in. The current British governments in the last decades also purposely decided not to educate the native population of the its colonial heritage and as to why so many communities from the commonwealth live in the UK today ( Hong Kong, India, Malaysia, Nigeria, Jamaica, Pakistan, Australia etc. If you neglect your past it will come for you in the future and what do you see today many more people becoming more educated of what the UK did in their respective countries wondering why their governments didn’t do nothing ? Reason why is because many of the former generations from Elizebeth era where miseducated and brainwashed in the former colonies to see the British empire as their head of state and deity. The queen also came to these nations as form of soft power to persuade many not to join forces with the soviet union. It’s not just the queen but the whole royal machine behind her that we have to look at. Just remember people are not stupid and one the day the truth will come and those days are developing right know and many western nations don’t like it because it’s to confrontational to society.
difference is that Germany has done a far better job coming to terms with what happened during the Nazi regime and teaches the history. The same cannot be said for the UK, there is basically nothing about what the British did to Ireland and many if not most are not aware of it today
@@jebbo-c1l Sadly I think this is right. We’re not all ignorant of that history, but those of us who do know about it pretty much had to find out for ourselves. It isn’t right.
The Germans are the outliers here, I think. Most countries present themselves with sanitised versions of their histories. It’s Germany we should all seek to learn from.
(Two of my favourite countries, Germany and Ireland!)

I'm not Charles biggest fan, and most of us aren't but this does break my heart for him. Whether they are 96 or 46, losing your parents is a pain that is indescribable. I'm thinking of the entire royal family and hoping they can give in their own ways.
That's nice, anyway.
Everyone I know who's actually met Charles speaks very highly of him. I think he'll make a good King.
Speak for yourself... Many people like King Charles III. He's had the greatest teacher that he could wish for.

I have always been some what sympathetic to the Irish partly because my father's side of the family is half Irish and also because Ireland has suffered for hundreds of years. But the problem I have with Ireland know is the Magdalene houses and the abuse that those girls and wemon suffers threw I hope they finally made good on it.

From orange drums in 1953 to speaking Irish at Dublin Castle….quite the leap in one reign. She was a wonderful lady 👑👏🇬🇧
The Dublin streets weren’t empty or “cleared”. Obama and the Queen visited within a few weeks of each other and there was a lot of checks and manholes sealed but the streets weren’t cleared on the day. I remember seeing her and the atmosphere being lovely in the streets.
What's funny about all of that is that, in reality, the Queen was not responsible for the problem in Ireland and Northern Ireland, nor was she responsible for the peace of the UK with Ireland and for the Good Friday Agreement. She is just a symbolic head of state with no power (and rightly so, given that she's not elected). So, I find it funny how she got to bear the brunt during the bad times and enjoy the warm welcomes during the good times - while, in reality, it was never her fault or her achievement.
At a personal level, no, she is not responsible. But what annoys people is that the monarchy in the past was responsible. Ireland always got drawn into the struggles Britain had with European countries like Spain and France because the monarch was afraid of attack from these countries via Ireland. So the monarch was always exerting control over Ireland. Also, monarchs of the past condoned and encouraged adventurers who took territory by force and exploited it to bring back riches to the monarch.
However, after the Bill of Rights of 1688, the monarch's powers were curtailed, and it was mainly the governments of the day who made the decisions.
@@fromireland8663 still doesn’t have anything to do with her, or the modern royal family.
And they won’t probably apologise properly, as people will always be looking for more and more.
@@CrazyBrosCael I agree. And that might be the best approach to take because soon after there will be demands for reparations, which I don't agree with.

I can't imagine how it must be for him dealing with the death of his mother and taking over a monarchy. I would have thrown the pen out of rage.
Sounds like a healthy habit.....
easy the new king is heartless... a man who once blankly said "yes whatever love is" on his wedding day, leaving princess diana looking awkward and in silence for a good minute.
@@Masked_Official Actually, that whole affair suggests the exact opposite, that he is emotional and the opposite of heartless: yes, he probably married Diana largely because he felt that would satisfy his family and his country (so, basically, because he succumb to the pressure), and despite her not being the love of his life at the time. But, eventually, he gave up on this gorgeous (and smart) woman to be with the love of his life, an older, not-as-gorgeous woman, and he did that despite it being a hugely unpopular move that brought him tons of bad publicity.

I was born in the 90s and have vivid memories of Channel 4 (and ‘TV’ in general) so remember how much C4 used to CHALLENGE and QUESTION not just ‘the narrative’; ‘establishment’ and ‘status quo’ but present various opinions/viewpoints from many people..
Even before Jon Snow announced his retirement, I’ve noticed the ‘output’ from C4 has been ‘controlled/measured’ and less likely to “push the boundaries” as they used to be..
ESPECIALLY since #Brexit and #GE2019 (where Tories/Boris BOYCOTTED debates and attacked the press [copying “Donald Trump’s” playbook/tactics])..
C4 have become less & less ‘impartial’ and [noticeably] ‘PRO ESTABLISHMENT’ SINCE THE GOVERNMENT (Nadine Dorries in particular) THREATENED THEIR ‘REMIT/INDEPENDENCE’ AND ‘FUNDING/MODEL’

Why make things simple when you can make them complicated
I tip my cap to her in regards trying to build bridges, can imagine how hard it was for her to shake martins hand, when he was on the side of Mountbatten death. Don’t care who you are, you have to take that personally. I’m a republican and understand that loyalist views will always exist. For courage to reach across and build bridges I am humbled by her. But the current Tory party are trying to undermine the good Friday agreement, simply to not let the general public see how much better off the U.K. was in the EU. It maddening to see such actions
It must have been hard for Martin McGuinness to shake her hand all the Irish by brits soldiers.
It's a nice gesture but don't forget what Ireland went through, to regain freedom. The queen should have apologized properly. Make no mistake, if the going gets tough, Britain will not respect the borders in Northern Ireland.

As someone who supports Irish nationhood, I didn't like the royals much but she did show some real class and I said a prayer for her soul when she passed -- as well as all the victims of the Troubles. What's really sad to me is if you've met people on all sides, you realize they were all kept divided by ideology and economics, but when you just know them as individuals many are some of the most fun and interesting people in the world -- I've gotten quite drunk with Nationalists and Unionists and had a grand time with both. So glad that it's over and I hope it doesn't come back, as it sometimes seems to be doing.

As a Christian (and a non-English speaker), it honestly, deeply sadden me, to hear about people being divided in Ireland and the UK, and using the "labels" of Protestant and Catholic to justify their "political"/nationalistic ideals. To Jesus Englishmen and Irishmen are just as valuable.
As a American I second this hard. Whike yes Great Britian did atrocities towards Ireland but Ireland used there own religious deference to harm brother against brother.
@@brittanyhayes1043 are u serious. America should make Elizabeth their queen and head of state.
@@Churros1616 No I perfer a better president then the clown we have now. I simply respect the Queen, but fo t respect his son because he's a player.
The root cause of the conflict was English aggression against Ireland by conquering the country, persecuting the majority of the population for being Catholic and setting up an unjust political and social system giving the protestant minority a sectarian supremacy. If the English had stayed at home none of the trouble would have happened.
@@wonjubhoy I can't imagine that you actually believe what you write. Of course the UK didn't do anything at all BECAUSE the Irish were CATHOLICS. It had to do with land and controlling that land. It was colonialism, and about trying to keep Ireland as a part of the British Empire. The fact that English people happened to be protestants and the Irish mostly were Catholics, had historical reasons that were totally unrelated by the Troubles.
It's not only not factual, but it is also blasphemy the way I see it, no matter if it's Protestants or Catholics, using their denomination, their faith in Jesus Christ, to justify anything at all that have to do with militarism, and no matter what denomination, the cause of Irish struggle for independence have nothing in itself to do with religion of any kind. As Christians we are all commanded to love each other, not shooting each other dead, or planting bombs and exploding each other into tiny particles of blood and flesh.
Its. Good grief.
Rest in peace 🙏🙏🙏
That was fantastic. Thank you.
Retribution for the mess you left in Kashmir
The way he pronounces poitín..
Deepest sympathy to the Royal Family on the passing of the Queen she helped so much in the peace process and her belief in reconciliation
The start of the Irish problem happened centuries ago - the plantation period.
Ulster Plantation 1609
Why does Channel 4 always talk this nation down. If it isnt completely woke they have nothing nice to say.
"Let's visit Ireland after centuries of oppressing the Irish"

.,India or oppressed people of the world will remember you always.
In 1891, the Chingleput collector J. H. A. Tremenheere submitted his study on socio-economic condition of Dalits in Tamil Nadu to the British administration.[2]( King George , England,) Based on his recommendation Depressed Classes Land Act was passed on September 30 under Government Order No 1010/10-A (revenue) 1892. And 12 lakh acres were assigned to Dalits across Tamil Nadu.{ On the request of missionaries,)
In TAMIL NADU,
Oppressed people were asked to tie a pot around their neck when they entered the village or city or passed a high caste home .
Only a Brahmin can have education.
But now our chief minister Mr. STALIN gave opportunities to all caste to become priests .
He himself is from a most backwards ,his relationships are doing barber shops ,,
A high caste ( they call themselves so ) here still uses a BARBERS caste to undershave their bride grooms as a part of their marriage ritual using this caste 😁😁😁,,
Slavery ,,
Slavery to even a caste of Hon Chief MINISTER of Tamil Nadu.🙏🙏🙏( But originally they are Pipers but we know their relationship are running Barber shops,,my dad sent us me and my brother to learn cutting and shaving so that we will have a job in future if education doesn't pay us a job ,,)( my dad said only after or during this period God REVEALED himself to my dad ,,)
Pray for our safety .
I filed a case in our high court in 2007 .
Noon meal scheme( this was possible here in Tamil Nadu Because a team of JUSTICE PARTY members attended several meetings in UK and as well visited UK schools and astoria to see noon meal scheme in schools there in UK,,and later British introduced it here in india 🙏🙏🙏 or lot of lakes or dams or slavery of women devadasi ,, democracy,police ,jobs , railways,dams lakes schools,police jobs , hospitals,,across the world are by BRITISH rule
God bless uk
God bless UK people.
God bless california governor for introducing noon meal scheme in their schools.
🙏🙏🙏
It would NEVER been allowed in British rule
20 of our innocent tamils were shot dead by a neighborhood state ,no enquiry by central government,,No political parties called for a mass protest or rally to condemn it ,,I was the one and only person to write it in Gates notes first and after in a USA magazine requesting to UNO and TRUMP,,( to hang the culprits,,)I took lot of risks ,,to highlight this matter to the world,,
Neighborhood state arrested two men in my name to give me fear,,
But I am not protected by people over here for whose right I fight.
But they want to Praise somebody else for it .
But if it is my work then God will reward me .
A son of a police head constable in Chennai was chased by a youth rally anticorruption rally ,,because he refused to join this group,,the boy ran and fell down in the koovam river of Chennai and died .
We wrote the world to condemn this cruel act and requested the world to support the power of Tamil Nadu POLICE 🙏👍🙏
I have no caste feeling.
BECAUSE ABIRRAHAM LIVED WITH HIS CASTE OR RACE OR NATIONAL,,
BUT GOD WANTED TO BLESS HIM SO HE TOOK HIM OUT OF HIS CASTE OR RACE OR NATIONALITY PEOPLE...
WE SHOULDN'T BELIEVE OR LOVE AS CASTES ,,
BECAUSE IN SUCH A CASE YOU HAVE TO BEAR THEIR SINS A LOT , BUT A FAMILY,,
CHRISTIAN,,
FRIENDS,,,
MOREOVER,WE ARE LIKE A LOW CASTE ,A HIGH CASTE IN THEIR BORDER REFUNDED TO GIVE EVEN WATER TO MY DAD ,,😂😂😂🙏🙏🙏👍🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Her forces? That’s quite extraordinary as she wasn’t even born at the time of the Easter Rising…
Totally agree she wasn't even born then. It's like talking about President Biden forces at the Alamo!
@@michaelhalsall5684she was head of state for the entirety of the troubles it’s a shame she got to die a natural death
I get the feeling that the superpowers do nit like H. M. Queen 's rising popularity.... as it can be detrimental to t-eir standing as superpowers.... Can India have U. K. based companies that will create good jobs? .... I am in no way against the superpowers, but healthy competition is important.... U. K. based products are really good too

John 3:16-21
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.

END OF ERA😍 UNITED IRELAND🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪 INNEVITABLE🎉🎊🎉
What about the people in northern Ireland who support being part of Britain
Believe me I would love a united Ireland but it's a cultural mess and I'm not sure how possible it is
@@Mei0naise Northern ireland isn't part of Britain ye eejit
@@FY17215 the UK then i guess?
She came to Ireland in 2011, spoke 'cúpla focail Gaeilge', laid a wreath in memory of Irish soldiers murdered by her army for trying to free their country, and went home having done nothing to acknowledge or compensate for the genocide carried out by her forebears in Ireland and throughout the 'british empire' .
What would you have liked her to do?
@@seansmith445 I'm not sure she could do anything except the pittance she did. My point is it wasn't enough. Merely to say "Things were done that shouldn't have been done" doesn't cut it. Perhaps if she had begun by recognising the 800 year genocide against Ireland by her forebears, acknowledged Victoria as the famine queen, and recognised british warcrimes all over the world - a simple one liner such as "Everywhere my country went we did despicable things to wholly innocent human beings we can never expunge the shame we brought on ourselves and we can never undo the damage we have done or the crimes we have committed"; that might have been a start to a start towards a start. An immediate announcement that british military forces would be confined to their own country forever except when invited to other countries under strict regulations would have been a good second clause.
Really not sure why C4 have decided to post this video now, if they want to report news why not tell us what's happening in Leicester or Birmingham at the moment?
"She almost apologised"
At the Strock of a pen irland could have been United it was a minority that wanted to stay unlike Scotland we need a majority
Well done Channel 4 News true to your normal woke standards of journalism.
