Fun story: During the troubles the Labour government sent in the British Army who in fairness tried several times to protect the Catholic not-too-small a minority [and I'm speaking as a Republican minded person]. On one occasion [at least one] there was an English regiment protecting the Catholics. There were barricades thrown up and the Loyalists managed to steal the regimental banner. And by God they weren't coy about their contempt; 'Go home you English b>>>>>ds' was heard during the melee. This about the people who send them substantial subventions every year to ensure they are not a complete third-world krapphole.

Do Brits think we fought British rule for centuries for the laugh of it or something? When people fight, they fight for a good reason and when a nation fights it's because something was taken away from them! After the Norman/Anglo Invasion of Ireland in the 1100s, we then had Planters arrive as per The Plantations in 16th- and 17th-century which involved the confiscation of Irish-owned land by the English Crown and the colonisation of land with settlers from Britain. We fought back: 1. The two Desmond Rebellions took place in 1569-1573 and 1579-1583 to *fight against the threat of the extension of the English government* over the province. 2. The successful Battle of Clontibret was *fought against the British* in County Monaghan in 1595. 3. The successful Battle of the Yellow Ford was *fought against the British* in County Armagh in 1598. 4. The Nine Years' War, sometimes called Tyrone's Rebellion took place in Ireland from 1593 to 1603. It was fought between an Irish alliance to *fight against English rule in Ireland.* 5. The Rebellion of 1641 took place when Irish Catholics were being threatened by expansion of the anti-Catholic English Parliament and Scottish Planters and they *rebelled against English and Protestant domination.* 6. The Irish Rebellion of 1798 was a major uprising *against British rule in Ireland.* (The Society of United Irishmen was led primarily by liberal Protestants). The Irish wanted an end to anti-Catholic discrimination, greater Irish self-governance, and to roll back the Plantations of Ireland. 7. The Irish rebellion of 1803 was launched by Irish republicans *against British rule in Ireland* 8. The Young Irelander Rebellion was an Irish nationalist uprising led by the Young Ireland movement, part of the wider Revolutions of 1848. 9. The Fenian Rising of 1867 was a rebellion *against British rule in Ireland*, organised by the Irish Republican Brotherhood. 10. The Easter Rising of 1916 was piloted by Irish republicans *against British rule in Ireland* with the aim of establishing an independent Irish Republic. 11. The civil rights movement in the early 1960s challenged the inequality and discrimination against ethnic Irish Catholics that was perpetrated by the Ulster Protestant community. 12. Derry activists' marched on the 5 October 1968 in Derry, but were attacked by the RUC and loyalists. THAT IS A SNAPSHOT OF HOW WE HAVE FOUGHT AND RESISTED BOTH BRITISH RULE AND DISCRIMINATION BY THE UNIONIST COMMUNITY!

It is worth remembering that when the issue of potential damage to the union was raised, Nigel Lawson, the chairman of the Leave campaign, suggested that the obvious way for the issue of the Irish border to be resolved, was for Ireland to rejoin the UK and become a vassal of the crown again. "I would be very happy if the Republic of Ireland - I don't think it's going to happen - were to say 'we made a mistake in getting independence in 1922', and come back within the United Kingdom. That would be great." -Lord Nigel Lawson, Feb 2016. So that's the kind of brain-genius we're dealing with here.

The look on the journalists face (in the freeze frame) speaks volumes of how he feels about his interview partners.

The embodiment of the famous “Brexit geezers”, it seems like a caricature but they are very real.

Listening to someone from Northern Ireland call other people "spongers" has to be the height of irony.

*_The DUP never signed the Good Friday Agreement. They do not recognize it. They voted to leave the EU but not for the reasons they gave as the free movement of people has no impact on Northern Ireland. That cannot be an issue for them. Their DUP wanted a hard border between Northern Ireland and Ireland and they hoped Brexit would achieve this._*

Brexit is essentially a demonstration of English nationalism.

Scottish independence 2. Irish unification 3. Geopolitical problems with Spain over Gibraltar With the UK inside the EU then these problems were smoothed over but outside of the EU they become headaches

Were do you begin Max they know nothing about anything and the sad part of it they will never learn anything

I dont know if it is “too stupid to understand” as much as living in a hatred bubble for so long it just becomes a reflex action without thinking things through.

As you commented before Max ,these are people who have never ventured out of their own communities. To add in my own previous comment (taken from loyalist friends of my mine) " these are the loyalists from council estates that even we avoid".

Looks like he ran into Uncle Andy and Pastor Begbie 😂

as they say, equality can seem like oppression to those that lived with privilege.
