Oh but one regret, if only the reporter had tested the interviewed Catholic to ask them of their thoughts on the Catholic terrorist bombs throughout England in 1939 especially on 25 August of that terrible year and how it is that the deaths of innocents are overlooked by the Catholic Irish, even denied. Add to that that Catholic hardships are largely of their own doing eg having large families that cannot be afforded, wanting to be independent and neutral, yet ever complaining of poverty and no work, only to be given work by those they hate….Isn’t it they who get away with murder and worse, are proud of it?

Interesting that this footage is set in Derry - where at the time blatant electoral gerrymandering of the local council's areas was done by the then ni unionist stormont administration. By putting almost all nationalists in bogside area into just 1 ward whilst splitting the (minority population of Derry) unionists into 2 wards ensured the unionist control of the city. And thus also ensuring the minority unionists had housing control. No wonder this led to the NICRA marches only a few years later- one man one vote. Yet in early NI, PR applied (and then the local Derry council reflected the nat/ unst split). But then Stormont changed the system to FPTP- so with that, in comes gerrymandering:only eventually leading to resentment and thius the marches etc etc,- to change what was then Britain's," political slum". And to Westminster's shame, it turned a blind eye to all of this until the faeces hit the propeller from 1969 onward.

It's based on 'victory goes the spoils' from the time of William of Orange, and a mentality of superiority lording it over the native majority on the island of Ireland. It's now, as it always has been, about power, the English elite telling their loyal protestant serfs to look after the place while they're away, which they have attempted to do for near on 350 years... I have, as do my fellow Liverpudlians (for fear of offending some Unionists on here) no allegiance to a monarch, an elite or an establishment that thinks we are subjects to them, if the eejits within the Unionists community feel that's empowering, more power to them, just remember the very English elite despise you, loathe you and would sooner see you all rounded up on an Island somewhere just to not embarass them, that's the reality...sadly.

@@jackietreehorn5561 I am not sure of "myself", but rather I am sure of the promises of Jesus Christ. He established HIS church, and promised it would teach HIS truth, in HIS name, until HE returned. Every Protestant group also has corruption so your point is moot. God chose imperfect men to write the Bible, and Chrsit who is God chose imperfect men to teach his truth. Judas was chosen by Christ himself. Your unhappiness about the situation is not with me, but with God, so perhaps tell him ...Religious art is created by members of the Church, for devotion and worship. If it was sold, would those who bought it also have to also then sell it, and give the money to the poor, and so on, and so on, under your logic? Do you propose that native American Indians should sell their art and generate money for the poor? And how much money do you give to the poor? The Catholic Church is the single biggest benefactor of the poor in the whole world. And where do you think the Catholic Church gets it money from? From Catholics like me who, in obedience to Jesus Christ, wish to support the spread of the Holy Gospel, wish to build beatiful places of worship, wish to create artistic pieces for worship and devotion. We Catholics do with our money as we please. As for the historical certainty of the NT, do you believe that Socrates, Homer, or Aristotle said and did what we are told, given the disapearance of their original texts, and the scant surviving translations? Of all the writings of antiquity, the NT books stand head and shoulder above all others as the most secure, passing all robust academic scrutiny. Finally, be certain God specifically and intentionally created your soul, Jackie, at the moment of conception. And God the Son, Jesus Christ, had you specifically in his mind and heart when he died on the cross to redeem all.us.

It's technically not protestants now that are preventing re-unification, it's about 21%of the Roman Catholic/the growing other community. The Protestant Unionists are now dependent on nationalists who for now, wish economically at least to remain within the UK. The geographical consideration aside, there are probably hundreds of thousands, if not millions of irish living in GB whose, flag is the tricolour, who are Catholic, nationalist or even republican, but who don't make the connection between this fact and living in the UK, and their heritage etc, and will never come home to live in the Republic of Ireland. Quite obviously there are some cultural nationalists living in NI who equally do not make the same connection between their identity and factually living in the UK They don't see living in the UK in the same cultural way their protestant Unionist neighbours do. It will be this group that politicians within the nationalist camp have to convert, and not simply protestant Unionists, ironic ist it?

When that changes, particularly in the Nationalist/roman Catholic community and hopefully it will, we may have some form of unification. The growth of the third, or Other, may be interesting from a national and local elections perspective, but reunification will be a binary question, Yes or No, so I'm not too sure what role that will play there. Perhaps the Other or none nationalist/Unionist factor, might play a role in the development of how that new Ireland might look? Who knows...

Whilst the other side of the fence they look more roman and but act out like a native in style of rebellious dissident but arent the minority but are actually the majority? The fact the lowlanders of Scotland were originally displayed from northern Ireland by the invading roman and then driven back hundreds of years later by the Highlanders of scot who merged with the english creating the British. Driven back as forced labour and were named after their trade. Whilst the remaining in the south were Roman not Irish. The wales means Romans who were the wallace clan who were the highlanders who are the British.

Add to that that Catholic hardships are largely of their own doing eg having large families that cannot be afforded, wanting to be independent and neutral, yet ever complaining of poverty and no work, only to be given work by those they hate….Isn’t it they who get away with murder and worse, are proud of it?

Some of my older cousins who were married with children were still living with their parents because they weren't allocated housing. They felt helpless against this corrupt system. To add insult and show their perceived superiority the Orange order would come from all parts of the septic statlet to Nationalist Derry and march in Catholic areas.

Interesting that this footage is set in Derry - where at the time blatant electoral gerrymandering of the local council's areas was done by the then ni unionist stormont administration. By putting almost all nationalists in bogside area into just 1 ward whilst splitting the (minority population of Derry) unionists into 2 wards ensured the unionist control of the city. And thus also ensuring the minority unionists had housing control. No wonder this led to the NICRA marches only a few years later- one man one vote. Yet in early NI, PR applied (and then the local Derry council reflected the nat/ unst split). But then Stormont changed the system to FPTP- so with that, in comes gerrymandering:only eventually leading to resentment and thius the marches etc etc,- to change what was then Britain's," political slum". And to Westminster's shame, it turned a blind eye to all of this until the faeces hit the propeller from 1969 onward.
Interesting how the name Derry is used in this video by Loyalists!

It's based on 'victory goes the spoils' from the time of William of Orange, and a mentality of superiority lording it over the native majority on the island of Ireland. It's now, as it always has been, about power, the English elite telling their loyal protestant serfs to look after the place while they're away, which they have attempted to do for near on 350 years... I have, as do my fellow Liverpudlians (for fear of offending some Unionists on here) no allegiance to a monarch, an elite or an establishment that thinks we are subjects to them, if the eejits within the Unionists community feel that's empowering, more power to them, just remember the very English elite despise you, loathe you and would sooner see you all rounded up on an Island somewhere just to not embarass them, that's the reality...sadly.

Judas was chosen by Christ himself. Your unhappiness about the situation is not with me, but with God, so perhaps tell him ...Religious art is created by members of the Church, for devotion and worship. If it was sold, would those who bought it also have to also then sell it, and give the money to the poor, and so on, and so on, under your logic? Do you propose that native American Indians should sell their art and generate money for the poor? And how much money do you give to the poor? The Catholic Church is the single biggest benefactor of the poor in the whole world. And where do you think the Catholic Church gets it money from? From Catholics like me who, in obedience to Jesus Christ, wish to support the spread of the Holy Gospel, wish to build beatiful places of worship, wish to create artistic pieces for worship and devotion. We Catholics do with our money as we please. As for the historical certainty of the NT, do you believe that Socrates, Homer, or Aristotle said and did what we are told, given the disapearance of their original texts, and the scant surviving translations? Of all the writings of antiquity, the NT books stand head and shoulder above all others as the most secure, passing all robust academic scrutiny. Finally, be certain God specifically and intentionally created your soul, Jackie, at the moment of conception. And God the Son, Jesus Christ, had you specifically in his mind and heart when he died on the cross to redeem all.us.

It's technically not protestants now that are preventing re-unification, it's about 21%of the Roman Catholic/the growing other community. The Protestant Unionists are now dependent on nationalists who for now, wish economically at least to remain within the UK. The geographical consideration aside, there are probably hundreds of thousands, if not millions of irish living in GB whose, flag is the tricolour, who are Catholic, nationalist or even republican, but who don't make the connection between this fact and living in the UK, and their heritage etc, and will never come home to live in the Republic of Ireland. Quite obviously there are some cultural nationalists living in NI who equally do not make the same connection between their identity and factually living in the UK They don't see living in the UK in the same cultural way their protestant Unionist neighbours do. It will be this group that politicians within the nationalist camp have to convert, and not simply protestant Unionists, ironic ist it?

I'm in favour of Unification, I was just making an observation that not enough people are at the moment within either community in the North. When that changes, particularly in the Nationalist/roman Catholic community and hopefully it will, we may have some form of unification. The growth of the third, or Other, may be interesting from a national and local elections perspective, but reunification will be a binary question, Yes or No, so I'm not too sure what role that will play there. Perhaps the Other or none nationalist/Unionist factor, might play a role in the development of how that new Ireland might look? Who knows...

So the act of marching and drum beating and the banners themselves looks like nothing else than roman however the people look more native. Whilst the other side of the fence they look more roman and but act out like a native in style of rebellious dissident but arent the minority but are actually the majority? The fact the lowlanders of Scotland were originally displayed from northern Ireland by the invading roman and then driven back hundreds of years later by the Highlanders of scot who merged with the english creating the British. Driven back as forced labour and were named after their trade. Whilst the remaining in the south were Roman not Irish. The wales means Romans who were the wallace clan who were the highlanders who are the British. Its seems like the northern irish are actually the defendant the true heirs set against foreign invaders from all four sides. They should not have a grand master they should have a King.
