English are stupid. My uncle was in Kenya/ They only knew how to bully and punish. I think they are a bit more human these days. The executions after the 1916 uprising only caused more resentment. Stupid government. Brutall repression in Kenya didn't do more than postpone the inevitable. Mind you - if they had to execute someone, it could have been deValera who mis-maged Ireland for decades. My opinion/ Michael Collins was a hero; de Valera was not.

It always amazes me how we are viewed by the English as this problem land and how will be deal with it its such a problem for us. What a load of utter nonsense. Imagine if you never invaded in the first place imagine if you never committed Genocide in Ireland not once but twice 1649, 1845-1850. England created the problem over and over again the majority of Irish people never ever wanted to be ruled by the English and its nothing to do with Religion its to do with self determination.
Clongoes woods. Jesuits. That's funny like guy faulkes was not a Jesuit. The problem with Britain and Ireland is not Catholic and protestant. It's Jesuits and Mason's. They triangulate ,blackball each other in order to divide and rule. Shitheads. With no concern for real people.
Good series with some flaws but this episode is almost a total whitewash. The penal codes were no joke in many many places in Ireland. For a LONG time.
Thank you so much for sharing this series. I vaguely remember watching it with the family when I was a child. Much better now I'm old enough to understand it.
To think that our closest neighbour who helped us thro a world war north and south and we couldn't come up with a compromise says alot about the ruling class not about the working class who in general have more important things to worry about on a day to day basis than what side of the divide they found themselves on its been done for years divide and rule shame that peoples eyes could not be opened to the real ememy to me they were all used and are still being used to others ends
Truly weird. This is not a history of Ireland but a history of England's opinon of Ireland. Start getting perturbed whae the script goes on about the makeup of the Irish which is described by reference to blood rather thaan DNA,
Bullies And Brigans...Threatened by All the Facts of...only Injure themselves....In Attempting to Obscure and Negate The Brilliance of....Thru the only Pathetic Tools they have....The Devils Dealings of course!
So A: Respect your Fellow Citizens as Citizens...And B:Respect international Law.Oh I Know "it's A "NEW PLAN"....But Facts Are..it's Either That...or A Complete WASHOUT!
Demonstrate to me The Kindness of Any " British King"...and I will Call you a Liar./Such is The Lot of The Irish./The Crown Cares only Ultimately for itself.
Those are not Union Jacks; they are Union flags. They are called "jacks" only when they're at sea. This is how much the English know about their own history.
The root of the problem is absolutely early British colonization, and the centuries of typical racist propaganda justifying such colonization by demeaning the colonized as "savages" needing to be "civilized", same BS justification again and again, especially coming from England.
I don’t blame the people that were not happy about the Free State and loyalty oath nonsense. I think it was done on purpose by the British who knew full well what would happen. A last parting embarrassment by a pedantic, stuffy bunch of jerks, who cared nothing for the Irish people except as cannon fodder for their wars. On another note however the Irish were not ready to be a real modern republic. We saw this when they let the Catholic Church have free rein over their country for decades. A reaction, of course to being denied their religion in prior times. Just a mess all around
I’ve often wondered if the Phoenix Park murders were carried out by provocateurs who did not want Home Rule to succeed. Certainly killing a Gladstone relative and an Irish Catholic was at cross purposes to their stated cause
God, Ian Paisley’s voice makes me want to vomit and I have no dog in this fight. I’m American. Although I am from Appalachia so Paisley unfortunately is probably Scots Irish like many of my ancestors. I’m ashamed
At 49.29 Harry Besumont says K Company were responsible for the looting of Cork. He was actually in K Company (Auxiliaries Division RIC) but it shouel be supposed he didnt know thr papers would eventually be released.K Coy was broken up which is why he was sent to Dublin to F Company. The K company was also involved in the nurder of Csnon Magner prior to its disbandment. .
Around 16 mins how the Catholics were chased out of the shipyards in Belfast. Very sorry , it is very difficult or probably impossible to accept the Protestants from the northeast into Ireland. So fuck off back to Scotland. There is fuck. All of you left now.
They have been in Ireland 400 years it is their home too, you can disagree with their politics, (I do) but they were born here, if you went back in time and said that in 1606 I would agree with you, but it isnt 1606
@@FionanUaMurchadha not so much ,as you can chase them out of a shipyard. Been a Catholic unionist is not my preference or belief if you can accept that . All political antithesis is a complaint over abandonment.
The American colonial gentry were aware how the Irish were treated. Once the American war of independence was begin they knew how the colonial subjects would be treated if the war was lost!
Man, watching this over here in Canada. Just jaw-dropping what the Protestants were allowed, by the British, to do the the Catholics for 70 years. As to the response that became the Troubles, how can I express my feelings succinctly? I think Chris Rock said it for me: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-L4LlJNGRIoc.htmlsi=-qPZf6xGUjykx92p&t=319
35:20 What humbug. The Crown is nothing to these people but the means to an end. It's the tool they've used for three hundred years to maintain their privilege and shut Catholics out. It only worked because the English had the same bigoted attitude toward Catholics as they had, and the minute it ceases to be effective in that regard, you'll see just how "loyal" these people actually are. Because at that point, they won't change their minds to be "loyal" to what the Crown tells them to do-they'll flush it down the toilet and try to declare Northern Ireland's independence. At the end of the day, the ONE thing, the ONLY thing that really matters to them is not having to share power with the Catholics or risk being under THEIR thumb. And that's it.
28:26 What a fatuous old idiot. Why did they give a job that important to anyone that vacuous, oblivious, and stupid? No wonder things turned out the way they did.
The way I heard it, when Costello was over here in Canada, someone-I don't know who; British, I think-made some disparaging remark about Ireland, and Costello got his back up and called the shot for the Republic right there on the spot, and it was time to put up or shut up. So he went home and put up. Good for him! Proud to be an Irish citizen by foreign birth registration. :) Edit: isn't it weird that, after everything, it wasn't Dev who did it?
