Interesting video. A couple of things to note though in that it seems to take quite an anti-Church approach. Obviously the Catholic Church did some things which were not exactly remembered fondly, but I think it's important to consider it in a more rounded fashion. Just an observation but academia seems to approach history with a default setting of taking a negative view of the church and there will also be a more feminist slant on things.
2st Reich Holy Roman Empire 800 under Charlemagne to 1806 under Francis 2cd The Catholic Church were waisted deep in the slave trade. As we're the Protestants.
The Catholic church abused its position throughout the country, and you've obviously missed out on Catholic priests and nuns abusing vulnerable women and children at every opportunity. Educate yourself!
No it hasn't. The existence of these signs is well documented by both the British Race Relations Board and independent accounts by West Indian and other immigrants to Britain.
Idiot I seen it as late as 1980 I was 17/18 and a woman in Neasden kept the sign up, the council fined her and she kept putting it up, until her children made her take it down. To be honest she had mental health issues. But even in the 80s you would get doors slammed in your face. This sign helped recruit many a young person and made them politically aware. So it served us well because of the conflict in the North of our land. So research check it out why are you insulting hundreds of thousands of Irish who seen it. The English of the day don’t deny it why do you who are you why be so ignorant to a fact.🇮🇪💪.
@sonjawhite5815 Rflol yeah the same set up to deal with virulent discrimination in Britain. And we should of course discount all the independent and academic accounts and studies of just that ...
They weren't ''desperate to escape'' the Catholic church. They Catholic church had massive widespread support at the time. The Irish who arrived in England were ardent Catholics and remained passionately devoted to their faith and their church for the rest of thierlives.
The sign may have been the work of lower class English who feared completion for work. Or some other lower class Brit. who wanted not to be at the bottom and elevate themselves a bit as the English had a class system somewhat like the Indian caste system. I met many Brit. lower and working class and they are lovely people. Irish I know got on well with them; they socialized at the pub and some Irish married English, some brought their wives home to Ireland where they fit in and were quite happy.
One major reason for hostility toward Ireland and the Irish after 1939 was Irish free state neutrality during the war . While English cities were being pounded by arial bombing and millions of young troops were dying and Italians in Britain were imprisoned , the sympathies and loyalty of the Irish was deeply suspect. This feeling remained for decades.
The "hostility directed at the Irish goes back many centuries when various English and later British propagandists dehumanised the Irish people in an effort to justify centuries of invasion/colonisation/ethnic cleansing so let's not kid ourselves here. As we see with ww2 Not only had Ireland had to fight its own war of freedom and independence from a vast imperial power less than 20 years earlier - that same power continued to treat Ireland as something it could kick around. Despite that Ireland declared neutrality in ww2 but agreed to aid and assist the allied forces (not just Britain) with some 200,000 young Irish men volunteering to fight. And that doesn't include the assistance provided in terms of intelligence, logistics and continuing to export huge amounts of foodstuffs to keep Britain fed despite ongoing shortages and the history of the death of a million men women and children as a result of starvation under British rule That's the thing with some British- nothing is good enough. Putin would be proud of them
The main reason for the poster in windows was this: The Irish were builders - navies - on the road - unwashed and daily well oiled. moving on, needing temporary accommodation and under the circumstances landladies were houseproud. It's a complete fallacy to believe they were racists. In the case of black people they had never seen a black person in their lives so when they came to Britain the landladies were afraid of them. And as for dogs, house proud landladies didn't want them for obvious reasons. Without the Irish navies Britain would never have been built. They were recognised as extremely hard working, reliable and of these islands. The impression the oft-quoted poster gives is false and as was said in the film, was not everywhere but In fact quite limited for obvious reasons. 1 million Irish immigrants to Britain at the time - and you're given to believe by phraseology and inference they were all faced with such nonsense.
It certainly was not just "unwashed navies who worked in Britain. But nurses, engineers, students, families. Many of the lodgings in those days were far from clean nor the landlords/landlady's household. Many were little more than infested kips. See George Orwells descriptions of the places he lived in Britain for a proper picture of the filth and wretchedness of much of the accommodation of the period
