    Events in Ireland in 1922-23 hardened the views of Protestants in North-East Ulster to retreat behind the protection of the border and say, "What we have, we hold." Long-standing prejudices became entrenched. Kevin O'Higgins said bitterly:
    "We had an opportunity [he said of the North-East] of building up a worthy state that would attract and in time absorb and assimilate those elements. We preferred the patriotic way. We preferred to burn our own houses, blow up our own bridges, rob our own banks, saddle ourselves with millions of debt for the maintenance of an Army and for the payment of compensaton for the recreations of our youth. Generally, we preferred to practise on ourselves worse indignities that the British had practised on us since Cromwell and Mountjoy and now we wonder why the Orangemen are not hopping like so many fleas across the Border in their anxiety to come within our fold and jurisdiction."
    Dail Eireann Offical Report, Treaty Debate, 1923, pp. 206-7
    Almost 100 years later 95% of Protestants/Unionists in Northern Ireland would vote to remain part of the United Kingdom. Why?

    Parnell the leader of Irish nationalism supported Home Rule along with Redmond. The anti partition League and the Irish Unionists split and ended unionism in the South. 34 Orange lodges in the South voted against partition. Carson split the Irish Unionist women and the Irish Unionist women when he voted against their right to vote in the UK Parliament. The women's Ulster Volunteer Corps served in WW1 with hospitals around the UK and Ireland including Dublin. The demographics were a lot different 100 years ago.

      That’s like asking why was the UK divided? Well the obvious answer is self determination. 26 counties left the UK and eventually became the Republic of Ireland because that’s what the majority of the people wanted there. Likewise 6 counties of Ireland opted out of the same arrangement preferring to be closer to the UK.

Anyway, the Republic had the last laugh. The Catholic Church ruled supreme but no more. Compare the 2 states today & see who came out better. Thank God we don't have to deal with those Loyalist fools in the North & I don't mean the normal decent majority of Unionists/Protestants. I mean those Psychopath paramiliataries. Of course, we do have to put with Sinn Féin who I also hate but fuck it, we still get off lightly compared to the North.

I'm not fool enough 2 believe the South has a say in the future of NI until that time. Even if I believed a petition might help slightly, the most I would do is sign it. I'm not a politician & these things aren't up 2 me. BTW I do realise ur taking the piss.

    • @user-qi5jw2hg1c
      @user-qi5jw2hg1c 9 лет назад +2

      Rick Grimes I'm 'taking the piss'? That was a bit of a random closure. I haven't a notion where I inferred that.
      Let's see: you will not vote. If you were an adult in 1998, you will have had the opportunity to approve or not the Belfast/Good Friday Agreement. That's the height of your formal vote for a reunited Ireland, because that agreement gave way to the Northern Ireland Act 1998. Section 1 of said Act: only by way of majority vote within 'northern' Ireland shall the north be reunited with the south; the Governments of Eire and Britain shall accommodate such a stance taken within NI... In other words, you do not have a voting say. This is why I invoke any southerner who wants reunification to become active in our pluralist society, and petition for it; I didn't necessarily mean a signing petition.
      Next, yes, I do feel it is a contradiction of terms. This is why so: the south enforced its freedom from home-rule state within the UK to separate Republic because it had been vindicated by the 1916 Proclamation, declaring a Republic of the WHOLE of Ireland. Likewise, the GE vote in December 1918 gave the democratic legitimacy to this when Sinn Féin won overwhelmingly. Both of these events occurred before partition; therefore, if you stand by the ideals of being an Irishman whose foundations are these two momentous events and the subsequent war of independence from Britain, you cannot ignore the North's inclusion in those events. In other words, you cannot take the Proclamation and read into it but ignore the WHOLE of Ireland part, nor can you ignore that electoral boundaries for the SF general election 1918 vote extended to the whole of island.
      Fight for Ireland under these occurrences, then you must stand for reunification of Ireland, otherwise the completion of the proclamation and everything else is not so. To not do so, thus, yes, is to be inconsistent in your philosophy, and, at a cruder, more personal level, would deem said person to be a hypocrite.

    This story gives a false narrative. Unionists were not worried about religious persecution or economic disadvantages, it was all about supremacy. Supremacy born from the Protestant ascendency at a time of penal laws which gave them higher status and made them 'superior' in their view. They look down on native Irish Catholics whose land they stole. This is proven now with the churches having lost their power and the South going from being much poorer to much richer. Still Ulster Protestant Unionists refuse unification. Strange bigotted people with bigotted culture. That's the truth.

    Carson was leader of the Irish Unionists before WW1. Huge losses in WWI. Home Rule BILL/Rome rule was postponed until after the war. Loyalist militias were set up in Down Londonderry Antrim Armagh. Carson drew up the Convanent while James Craig reorganised the Ulster Unionist Volunteer Force.

    A genuine question for unionists/loyalists which is sincere before we get in to a tit for tat argument. With absolutely no offense intended I would like to ask, with the German army trying to take over Europe and the UK and rightly the British resisting. I'm trying to understand why they cannot understand Ireland wanting the right to liberation and to govern it's own people. Colonialism is nothing more than oppression. Again this is my opinion and I would love to hear from an opposition

      I'm an Ulster Unionist and a British citizen.
      Landmass does not equate to Nation State.
      If the Irish Free State has the Right to breakaway from the UK and determine its own political future then so does British Northern Ireland from that State. Self-determination for both. The issue ever since has been acceptance of this Right.
      Dublin born Irishman, Edward Carson forseen what was to come to the British Unionist citizens on an all island State.
      Not once was our British Identity taken into consideration in the creation of the Irish Republic. It was the totalitarian nature of Irish Nationalism that split Ireland politically.

      Yes, such was the History of the time. One people dominated another. It has happened the world over time immorial until mid 20th century when certain Universal Rights were introduced and promoted by the UN.
      At the time though Catholic Ireland did go on to create an Irish Free State with help from the Jesuits that was totally alien to the island's Northern populous. (Gaelic, Catholic, Nationalist)
      Hence Northern Ireland was created in response as this Video clearly points out.
      That Free State then went onto hold territorial rights over another Nation that was not theirs to hold and helped justify a campaign for Irish Republicans who were chomping at the bit to bomb and murder with an attempted Marxist Coup from 69 onwards. aka... 'The Troubles'.
      There are many islands divided politically around the globe and many individual islands make up an Archipelago of a single Nation.
      Northern Ireland is part of a politically divided island that is part of the British Archipelago known around the globe as the British Isles.
      As i've already pointed out Ulster Unionists have as much a right to determine their own future as Irish Nationalists. It has has been acceptance of that right by intransigent Irish Nationalism that's been the crux of the islands political problems ever since.
      Any response from the original poster?
