It wasn't the British which has used terrorism to advance their cause was it? It wasn't the British who put into their negotiation position, or the EU's negotiation position the so called "Irish border problem" after the EU, Ireland and British remainers lost the many court cases in 2016-2017 and again in 2019 was it? It wasn't the British which went against the courts and judges which ruled that there can be a border on the island of Ireland was it? It wasn't the British which wanted to put a border on the island of Ireland was it? It was the EU, in actual fact it is the EU and Ireland which have broken international law, they have broken the Belfast/GFA, the Vienna Convention on treaties, the UN and the European convention on human rights. Well over 4 odd years of the EU and Ireland holding all of the people and businesses of the EU and the UK to ransom over lies, disinformation, propaganda and gaslighting about something which has never existed and something which has never been taken from any so called "Irish" nation, state or country. Senator Neale Richmond said: “Any form of a border, any form, particularly a hard border, will result in a return to violence,” he said. “Not maybe, not could, will.” www.expressandstar.com/news/uk-news/2018/05/22/brexit-uncertainty-affecting-europes-cities-and-regions--senior-eu-politician/ .
"It wasn't the British which has used terrorism to advance their cause was it"
Seriously does the British education not teach history at all? Your empire was literally built on terrorising people and ethnic cleansing. There are mass graves in Ireland and around the world that testify to that. The IRA had the capability to kill tens of thousands of English people during the troubles so be thankful that they didn't and maybe read a proper history book not British state propaganda before spouting nonsense.
What a load of tosh
Well said Natasha, some people can`t see the wood for the trees.
It will . He is speaking realistically. A hard border on the Ireland of Ireland would provoke an awakening of both the IRA and the UVF.

The EU has been using NI and the boarder as a bargaining chip since day 1....
How is that relevant?
The difference between Britain and the EU's position in these talks is that the EU's position is much closer aligned to what the people of Ireland, North and Republic, actually want.
Both may be using Ireland's situation to their own benefit, but the EU stand for what Ireland wants.
That may be purely circumstantial, but it is true.
Whereas Britain are trying to strong-arm Ireland into acting against their own interests. That won't happen.
Agree Mel. Connor Murphy was asked by a reporter after the Assembly election what would Sinn Fein have done had the EU border been on the Irish Border. He avoided the question.
Too many comments from people that dont remember or dont know know about Sinn Fein
The English should not be surprised if their decision to leave the EU results in the end of the UK. It was so predictable.
In what way? The majority in NI don't support a united Ireland. In fact nowhere in the UK support it breaking up.
@@uncleghandi5771 but given that a majority in the North voted against Brexit and as such in favor of the EU, it does mean there is a mis alignment between the North and the government in England

Considering that there never was - and still isn't - a plan for how to run the UK outside the EU, it's an almost inevitable outcome.
..but the Irish government and EU and Sinn Fein can and have been for 6 years? Seems fair enough..
No they've been trying to protect the GFA. Preserve peace in NI, in other words. This while the unionists are prepared to sacrifice peace to ensure the British government can't walk away from NI.
"Over its history, a new study found, Britain has invaded almost 90 percent of the world's countries. Only 22 countries escaped British invasion, according to The Telegraph. These findings are outlined in a new book, All the Countries We've Ever Invaded: And the Few We Never Got Round To."
And spread modern values, systems and institutions.
Most of the world would still be "third world" If Britain hadn't conquered most of the World, although we've more or less conquered the earth because English is classed as an international language, and considering the world mostly lives under the system of law founded by British law called The Crown bar law association, systems of education and the industrial revolution.

In 1921, about 75% of MPs were pro Home Rule/Independence. The border has no basis in geography or demography. Many argue that Donegal should have been in NI and Fermanagh and Tyrone not. Irrelevant. The country was partitioned in a denial of democracy. Denial of democracy has been the cause of most rebellions.
Now we see the Unionist position revealed. When they win, it's democracy; when they lose, they won't accept the result. In 1921, what became the ROI was in many ways, a third world country with religious influence over all aspects of life; and what became NI was a society with two classes of citizens, with religion being the justification for one "class" dominating the other.
Now the ROI has become a democratic, vibrant society with a peace-loving population which has thrown off the religious yoke. Progress in NI has been only since the GFA. Time to re-unite the country while respecting all. No more denial of democracy.
The EU, despite its faults, has done more for peaceful improvement of life in Ireland than the UK ever did.
very well put.Sea Fire .. = old school England establishment is finished. The world is tired of the lies deceptions, criminality, arrogance and hostile dominance by force and economic sufferance.
Yeah but they didn`t the "UK" bail them out a few years ago right. Ireland, both sides has a government, a parliment does it not? democratically elected. There is a saying,: wat is Democracy? democracy is 2 wolves and a lamb arguing over what`s for dinner. I`m afraid NI is the lamb, I exclude the EU totally in this as it`s not in the slightest bit democratic, absolutely auticratic, and if Ireland is going to continue recieving lollypops from them for being good then we have a big problem, I totally think ireland should be united, but that is up to the peoples of ireland, as there are 2 obvious factions involved. The GFA was netween Britain and Ireland not the EU, not the USA. but the EU and USA are all over it now, this is Irelands biggest problem, a bunch of socialists and plastic American paddies...Do me a favour. so let`s have a referendum, give the Scots and the Welsh one too, make it lawfully binding for 20 years and see where we get. none of this Tactical EU/sturgeon marxist bullshit where we keep voting till we get what the Autacrat`s want.
What a shame when Great Britain can't even uphold it's principles and ideologies of Democracy, Freedom, Liberty, Human Rights etc within it's own country and people. Let people decide what they want thru fair and honest elections and referendum.
Most people didn't vote for nationalists in NI by a large margin so by the logic of democracy NI should remain an integral part of the UK. It's only undemocratic power sharing that has ever the nationalists any power in NI. The one time the nondemocratic elements favour the Unionists is only time it's suddenly objectionable 🤔
It’s not Great Britain, it’s the corrupt CONservatives that’s destroying the UK..

They're a disgrace for not backing SF more.
All parties in Dublin say they want a United Ireland but aren't doing enough to make it happen.
The term "West Brits" exist for a reason and that's exactly what this Irish Government is.
Sinn fein are as much a threat to the establishment parties in the South, FF and FG than they are to partitionist parties in the North, members of Fianna Fail, Fine Gael and Labour went North during the election this year again! to campaign for the SDLP, a nationalist party with very little support in their community, no chance of doing very well..... but most importantly of all have never come South! have more interest in Westminster than Dublin. The Southern establishment therfore only acts when it needs to solidify partition through treaties, agreements and other political arrangements, so they will get more involved soon. FF's shared island scheme can be viewed as perhaps a long-term approach to irish unity, but it could also play a role as a precursor to a two state solution should the idea become popular and necessary to float in distant future. As FF, FG and LBR have always been 26 county parties, the prospect of a United Ireland is not something they have ever forseen, let alone planned for, trying to envisage the political posture for their parties in that new Ireland is as scary and alien as it would be for the SDLP and Unionists.
Make a United Ireland happen my arse they won't even stand up for the protocol which they claim to support and is helping farmers and businesses on both sides of the border. But once its outside Dublin forget it they just don't want to know about it.
The Irish government is 100% in favour of the protocol , and have stated publicly numerous times to that effect.
The protocol has nothing to do with Sinn Feinn , the DUP are using that to cause confusion through the assembly in NI .
It is not up to any of the governments (UK, Ireland)
It's up to the people of Northern Ireland.

From what I've seen, it looks like England doesn't give two shits about the North, and I'm not sure that the Republic wants to foot the bill for reunification. Having a United Ireland IS the ultimate goal. How that comes to pass in the real question.
Thing is the British government have to green light a border poll. So in a way what Ireland and NI want doesn't necessarily matter.
Politicians never use reality as a benchmark to stop a good rant.
It is strangely completely unmentioned here in South England. I don't mean this as a slieght but there truly isn't a single person talking about Ireland or Scotland and that's generally been true throughout my life. Its really hard to guage these issues without lots of research as a result.

I don’t like how Republic of Ireland are telling Northern Ireland what they want. I don’t like how the world are telling the UK that they won’t let Northern Ireland go.

Many on both NI and ROI would vote for a united Ireland. The unionists have always opposed unity, by violence. They have denied democracy, otherwise Ireland would be under home rule as Scotland is, and still part of the UK. The IRA arose in reaction to unionist violence, which was in opposition to democracy. 75% opposition of elected MPs to the formation of NI did not stop it. Denial of democracy, over and over, and again now. Despite SF winning fairly, the DUP will not live up to the first word in their title. To them, it is democracy when they win, and unfair when they lose.

If the DUP won the election then they would expect SF too form the Assembly with them and continue to work on the issues that have risen for some people on the protocol. There is no reason why there cannot be an assembly. The protocol is an excuse and caused by Brexit which the majority in the North voted against. If used properly and too it’s advantage then the protocol could really make Northern Ireland as serious economic powerhouse.
As a unionist I think it’s a cynical move from the DUP, basically power sharing is fine so long as we are the biggest party.

Nothing went wrong Ireland is just reuniting ❤️
@@babblo1389 I doubt it's happening any time soon to be fair, under a Conservative Government which lost massively in every single part of the UK during the most recent election neither pro-Scottish Independence or Republicans in Ireland won in any meaningful way, the fact that Sin Fein only picked up an extra 1% on the last election whilst still failing to get a majority should be telling of that.

It's doing the opposite. Article 16 needs to be invoked to retain the integrity of the UK single market. The protocol is costing the NI a fortune in lost trade.

Sounds similar, Sinn Fein hypocrites springs to mind. ( 2017 This talks process has run its course. Sinn Féin will not be supporting nominations for speaker or the Executive tomorrow,” Sinn Féin’s Northern Ireland leader Michelle O’Neill said at Stormont on Sunday )
After a giant scandal in the goverment (RHI) and LITERALLY a decade of broken promises that had been agreed on both sides for a decade. The DUP are doing this for very different reasons
Politicians are well known for their hypocrisy.

Have a referendum. If the Northern Irish wish to unify with the south they will vote for it. The UK has no gripes with Ireland.
Absolutely 🇬🇧💗☘️
Do the Republic get a vote too?
@@charlesstilesmysterydinersfn You'd have to ask the EU for permission.
@@charlesstilesmysterydinersfn there would probably be several rounds of voting in the south to make changes to the Republic's constitution and other stuff before a border referendum in the north. Stuff like recognising Scottie and Scot's gaelic as national languages, changing the national anthem and flag to something more representative of the population. The government would also need to establish laws and safeguards (probably working with the UK) to recognise the Loyalist community as a protected group and identity. So yes, the RoI will probably vote several times before the final vote up north.
@@charlesstilesmysterydinersfn Of course
Let them unify Ireland and then they can leave England alone once and for all
NI doesn't want to be unified with ROI..they can do so anytime but they are not interested.
Who invaded another sovereign nation again over 800 years ago and subjected the local populace of Ireland?
Everyone complains about England doing this and doing that. It’s easy to play the blame game. Ireland and England should be so close but instead OLDER people just resent one another. The young people get on like a house on fire. Young people suffer from the old people. If the north or Ireland don’t want to unify Ireland they would never have elected Sinn Fein let’s be real. So if that’s what they want they should get it.

No. Rules are rules
The NIP was signed and agreed to by the British Government. Oven ready apparently. Also most parties in Northern Ireland support the protocol and the Northern Irish economy is doing better than Britain.
Unite Ireland, get as much distance from this backward corrupt British government and move forward with Irish and European values.

@@zba1340 Hey, get them to have a referendum on it. We both know the result because NI wants the best of both worlds and will never leave the UK.
As for Brexit, the UK as a whole voted for Brexit, which was refreshing as we'd never voted to join in the first place. I'm not anti-EU or anti-United Ireland but facts are facts, the birth rate across all of Ireland is down so it's unlikely that Unionist will ever be out voted. If anyone had any sense, all the Irish people who want unification should move to the South and be done with it or better yet they should offer England a referendum on keeping the other countries. Then you'd get some real change.
Those who don't show should be banded and replaced
This should off been sorted out in the Brexit Deal,when the UK left the EU.I really do not
understand any of it.It is a disgrace.

a so-called "hard border" will not occur, even without checks from GB to NI. UK needs to call EU bluff. BTW UK should relegate the EU & its internal market to second place in their thoughts, as the primary responsibility lies within its own internal market for the UK
Clearly the solution is tech unicorns.
@@guyvert49 - the EU need to preserve the integrity of their borders so a hard border between NI & Eire is the only answer if the protocol is not observed. WE then have the problem of EU tariffs if the UK reneges on its signed agreement ... don't forget it was an oven ready deal according to the piglet
@@GILLY56ify your answer is not only irrelevant it is incorrect. UK government must put its national interests first. The question is, why should UK have a border within its own country when it is just as acceptable [or not] for the EU to have a border between ROI & France? Don't reply by saying that the EU did not vote for this, because that is also irrelevant when it comes to national sovereignty. It was also irrelevant then Trump was voted in, despite the many problems he caused in the world. The world adjusted & so must the EU.
As for reneging on an agreement, that is also incorrect, since article 16 is also part of the agreement. Perfectly proper to invoke it, if necessary
There will never be a hard boarder in Ireland so there is really only one choice. They need to accept that and move on.
Sinn Fein are happy to take their salaries from the U.K. is spite of the fact that they have never taken their seats in Westminster.
