Ireland wasn’t always part of “Britain “ It was and is a totally separate Island , a totally separate people, a totally separate culture . It was colonized. by England and they sent people from England and the Scottish lowlands to take over the fertile lands that the Native Irish had been forcibly removed from . These people that came over to Ireland kept theirselves separate , which was what the Westminster government wanted and they believed they were superior to the Irish. Ireland has never accepted Westminster rule in Ireland and every generation has rebelled against the colonizers. Eventually , about 100 years ago , The British government realized they couldn’t ever impose their unwanted ways and rule in Ireland and agreed to vacate , but not before partitioning the Island and giving their planters offspring an artificial majority in the north eastern part of Ireland . This was and is the root cause of the conflict in Ireland , Once again , Westminster hasn’t been able to do what it wants to do with Brexit because of its involvement in Irish affairs .. Perhaps there is such a thing as Karma .

Very well said These people never search for the truth Are we going there again?

I'm from a Border town, and grew up with currencies, friends, events and politics split between both territories. I also grew up during The Troubles, with terrorism affecting people I knew, and endless experiences of nervous Squaddies swinging a gun in my face. I have other Border links, too, so it's fair to say I grasp the related issues very, very clearly. As such, I'm sorry to say that the vast majority of British people - or should I say, English people - know nothing about the North, and care even less. I've long, long since stopped being surprised at the often shocking knowledge many such people have about the North, and the Border, which is just something that it seems the vast majority of British people associate with a problem 'over there' associated with the deeply unloved, unwanted part of the United Kingdom, rather than being a distinct problem for the body politic as a whole to overcome. To this day, and this is where I Am shocked, the vast majority of Brexiteers either entirely ignore even acknowledging that the Border represents a significant, complex problem, or else they casually, blithely shrug it off as a trifling matter of no consequence and Why Haven't We Left The EU Yet?! You'd almost despair at the almost proud ignorance on display, but that's just the way of it. Northern Ireland voted by a majority to stay in the EU, with the Northern Irish grasping the political, economic and societal harm that Brexit represents. But their will to remain has seen them required to sacrifice themselves, seemingly so that Nigel and pals can gad about, throwing shapes, free entirely of the consequence and impact of Brexit 'over there'. No wonder it's been such a chaotic farce, to date, even ignoring the DUP's games as a minority propping up political corpse Mrs May, to enact a future that the majority in Northern Ireland democratically oppose. It would be a farce if it wasn't such a tragedy...

Ver Coda Northern Ireland voted for the United Kingdom as a whole to stay in the EU. The United Kingdom as whole voted to leave. You are very quick to blame English people for not understanding the issue before the vote, but clearly the same can be said of people in Northern Ireland. How come the percentage of remain voters in NI went up after the outcome was known, and all the talk about backstops etc started up? Surely they should have been more attuned to the issues than English people, but they weren't, were they, or the percentage would not have increased. I was in NI before and after the vote, and not one person mentioned the border as a factor in their decision to remain. One person lived one side of the border and worked on the other and even he was not bothered. Just some context for you: people in London couldn't give a hoot if Birmingham announced they were going to go independent of the rest of the UK so it should not surprise you that they are not overly upset about Northern Ireland - it really isn't personal.

Ver coda Don't you think that perhaps what they can't quite grasp is, 'How can it possibly be true that there will be violence and terrorism in Northern Ireland if there is a customs border?' In fairness, it is not rational is it? But then again, as you know, nothing that happened in Northern Ireland was rational: people wanted basic civil rights available everywhere else in the UK, these were denied, and then, for reasons beyond understanding, it escalated into mindless violence that no one seemed able to stop. It achieved nothing except to leave 3,700 people dead, thousands injured, and a legacy of hatred, fear and suspicion between the two communities that still exists in some parts to this day. There was nothing normal about it that makes it easy to understand. People in England don't understand it because they don't go around killing each other with the sustained madness that existed in Northern Ireland during that time. Not understanding is not the same as not caring. www.tate.org.uk/art/archive/items/tga-201020-5-4/atkinson-colour-photograph-of-a-billboard-illustrating-the-number-of-people-killed-during

The solution offered by the EU is the only sensible one. Contrary to what the Tories say, it does not mean putting a border in the sea between the UK and NI. For one thing NI is the UK. For a second, checking trade at the ports is the only logical and practical thing to do, since there are only a limited number of ports, and does not entail putting down a border whereas putting a physical border would be costly and inefficient. This should not have been a problem where it not the DUP. The DUP is a crazy bunch who fight to keep NI within the UK. But NI is the UK. All this is craziness graduating to the state level. The next logical thing would be to call for an election and hope that the new house can strike a reasonable deal. But wait, Corbyn could win and that would not be good. But would that be worse than the current situation, ie the government being taken hostage by the DUP ? Not so clear.

There should NEVER be a hard boarder ever again.

There is one minor error in this film. In the shading of the map, the Isle of Man is shown to be within the EU. Of course, it is not. So, for example, capital punishment is still permissible in the Isle of Man (e. g. hanging) if found guilty of an act which would is deemed a crime by a Manx court. Capital punishment is not allowed within a member state within in the EU. The fact that the IOM allows far more flexible banking regulations also means that it is unlikely that the IOM would become an EU member state for the foreseeable future. I just thought that I would point that out to you all.

It's been made a problem due to the EU and Ireland wanting to stop or at least, delay our exit from the EU.

It's unsolvable, Britain is lost control. When I first heard of Brexit, my very first assumption was Scotland was going to hold another referendum for independence and second: Ireland was going to be a huge problem. I never thought that brexit would win because of these.

Interesting, but there are too many background sound effects which are distracting.

A border would risk "troubles" not just "because borders do" but because the good Friday agreement explicitly states that there will be "no new checks" at the border. So no physical border and no automated software checks either if you follow the agreement to the letter. And if you don't follow it to the letter, the risk is huge because there are still plenty of people that have kind of accepted the agreement but still resent it for one reason or another.

There is overwhelming evidence that the English people who voted for Brexit do not, on the whole, care about the United Kingdom and in particular do not care about that part of it called Northern Ireland. Asked in the recent Future of England survey whether “the unravelling of the peace process in Northern Ireland” was a “price worth paying” for Brexit that allows them to “take back control”, fully 83% of leave voters and 73% of Conservative voters in England agreed that it was. Three-quarters of English leave voters said they did not want their taxes to be used to subsidise public services in Northern Ireland. In a recent Channel 4 survey, asked how they would feel if “Brexit leads to Northern Ireland leaving the UK and joining the Republic of Ireland”, 61% of leave voters said they would be “not very concerned” or “not at all concerned”.

There are all sorts of idiosyncracies when it comes to giving this part of the world names. The term "Britain" is linked to "British". During the troubles the "Nationalists" were fighting the "British" (troops etc.) Technically Ireland is part of the "British Isles", I suppose most Unionists consider themselves British. Thus "Britain" is not a clearly defined term and encompasses self-identification. For the Romans the "Britanii" were just one of the islands' tribes. The United Kingdom is a contractual construct based on treaties between different people's, governments and rulers of parts of the British Isles. Thus I see nothing terribly wrong in interchanging the terms "Britain" and "United Kingdom" when even the smartest politicians, historians and the general public cannot be absolutely certain about their aptness - mainly because "British" history is quite muddle.

The border between Northern Irealnd and the Republic of Ireland is ~500 Km. Use the metric system to measure distances.

I mean they left out some key details around Irelands history

When talking about modern Ireland, one thing that needs to be mentioned was how a Protestant Irish Parliament successfully gained independence for Ireland between 1782 and 1800, during which time Catholics got most of their rights back, with most Irish people of different faiths uniting under the ideologies of either constitutionalism or Republicanism, with both in favour of varying degrees of Irish sovereignty/autonomy and increased personal rights. This independence ended when a failed Republican Revolution in 1798 led British prime minister William Pitt to intimidate and bribe the Irish Parliament into merging the Kingdom Ireland into the UK after an initial Union vote failed. Ireland’s Parliament was forced to merge with The British one (though the courts and civil service of Ireland remained separate, but nominally subject to Westminster from now on). People on both sides seem to have completely forgotten this chapter in Irish history, because Protestants and Catholics fighting together for an independent Irish Kingdom doesn’t fit anyone’s narrative, and yet it had a major impact on the island. Unionism, Republicanism and Constitutionalism all originate from the original Irish volunteers that used the opportunity of the American Revolution distracting Britain to revolt in 1782. This heralded the independence and has shaped all aspects of Irish politics ever since…

Fact check: Ireland was part of the United Kingdom NOT part of Britain (duh). In fact it was the (forced) union with Ireland that engendered the term 'UK'.

The origins of the troubles were not over the sovereign state of NI. It was for civil rights; Catholics were below dogs in terms of housing, jobs, voting rights and opportunities in the north. Violence started when those peaceful marchers were met in Claudy by loyalists with cricket bats wrapped in barbed wire. It wasn’t a turf war originally. Catholic nationalists were just looking for very modest levels of basic human respect. Just as with home rule a half century before (3 attempts at peaceful obtaining of independence) it was the tone deaf ears of Britain that forced a tactical change in the Irish. Tactics that both times didn’t serve either side at all well. Question time: will the UK government learn their lesson on its third time teaching?

As an Australian, what I get out of this is: (a) no-one wants a border, and (b) after Brexit the EU will want to put tariffs on UK goods. Why is this a British problem? If the EU wants to put tariffs on UK goods, then it is up to them to find a way to do it. It will be no skin off Britain's nose if unregulated commerce occurs between the UK and the EU. If Ireland doesn't want a border, then they can either leave the EU as well (something I would advise) or else leave the trade with the UK unregulated, even if it gets up the nose of Brussels. In any case, it is not Britain's problem.

You have no knowledge of International trade do you? According to WTO Rules, third nations HAVE to put tariffs on others (all non-trade agreement countries) goods, especially Imports to usually protect internal suppliers, the only way to avoid tariffs is to have a free-trade agreement, which the UK and EU have failed to achieve. The EU doesn't really want to put tariffs, but as the UK becomes a third-nation OUTSIDE THE EU, the EU has no control what the UK does with its regulation, the UK could drastically change regulation to what would be illegal in the EU, therefore requiring checks to check goods and collect tariffs (to protect their businesses). The UK has said it may just cut import tariffs on goods (under WTO from EVERY NATION), hurting British Farmers, but the EU won't let the same happen to their farmers etc. No country who desires an independent trade policy like the UK and EU would simply allow a black market to happen normally as theoretically all regulation could be avoided and would damage their economies. Ireland doesn't need to leave the EU just because the UK did, Ireland is no longer the UK's puppet and will stand for what it wants. Ireland has overwhelmingly supported the EU more than the UK. Brexit is a British issue, Ireland will only sit and watch. Plus the worse that can happen to Ireland is you know, the Jobs Brexit brings to Ireland, possible Unification and increased influence as the only english-speaking nation in the EU.

It has no legal status whatsoever. Presumably by your logic inhabitants of The Falkland/Las Malvinas are South American? Gibraltarians are Spanish etc?

Also that the UK should issue British Passports to those British left behind in the Irish Republic just as the Irish Republic does today to those Irish nationals in Northern Ireland.

Why do you think Cameron left, and most of the Tory hotshots at the time refused the job?

So Switzerland and former yugo is part of the Mediterranean now?

Interesting program. Be good to have a similar one to explain alternative voting in elections. Please

I have a very simple solution to this problem: Dissolve the United Kingdom, let Northern Ireland secede and then unify with the Republic of Ireland. Let Scotland gain independence, rename the country England and Wales (a bit like Serbia and Montnegro 16 years ago). If Wales wants to become an independent country in the future, they can leave the union too. Countries merge and split throughout human history, it's not a big deal really.

NI already have the option of leaving the UK, they just need to vote on it and the UK govt promised (over 20 years ago) to accept any such result. NI should be left in the customs union with the EU and the Unionists should accept that as the best possible compromise, particularly as most of NI voted to remain in the EU.

Yes, so why is it such a big deal if the UK wants to leave the EU 'project'? Oh yes I know, because it needs our money!

We will build a great wall on our southern border. And we're going to make Ireland pay for that wall.

Ireland was never a part if Britain, all of Ireland was ruled by England. 100 years ago all of Ireland could have been independent, if they had not listened to the protestants in the north, Ireland would have been today United and without these problems that came when then island was split.

@Veganism Kills the Scots was an old Irish tribe during the time of Irish kings such as Uí Néill known as Imperatar Scottarum (emperor of the Scotts)that later had invaded the Picts, and later left a foot print that Scotland is named after. SO SCOTLAND IS IRISH

I think you need to go back more than 100 years. Ireland became a union with Britain in the 1800, up till then it was under military occupation. The invasion of Ireland started with Henry VIII, followed by ethnic cleansing under Elizebeth and final conquest by act of union in 1800. The majority of Irish people have never accepted English presence in Ireland, hence the troubles and the unnatural border.

Thank you for this enlightening information.

The problem is brexit. Not the border.

I don't understand how this differs from the situation in Switzerland where a non eu country borders on 5 eu countries. They manage those borders without hard borders. I think this is an excuse for holding up brexit.

@@lenawagenfuehr53 Switzerland is in the Schengen Area and, barring a few exceptions, takes part in the EU Single Market. Nothing to compare here. If the UK wants to have a similar status to Switzerland, it would have to allow free movement of people and its exports would have to meet the standards defined by EU regulations. Which are exactly the two things most Brexiters are vehemently opposed to.

Can someone explain the pros and cons of a second referendum? The picture is entirely different now from three years ago and people know and understand much more now, so a second referendum would, in my mind, be perfectly consistent with democratic principles. In Québec we had a second soverneignty referendum in the space of 15 years but much less had changed in those 15 years than the past 3 in the Brexit question. Are there any constitutional impediments to hold one now? Are there polls on what people think of having one and what they would vote?
