@@jackietreehorn5561Partition isn’t some type of illegal act if it happened before the 60s. Furthermore more separatism doesn’t work like that.

Please explain what law was broken in the partition and why Ireland if it disapproved agreed to the Anglo-Irish treaty, which enforced the partition.

Succinctly put !!

You clearly don’t understand Northern Ireland. Most people want to remain in uk. In fact the government in London is that of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Look at the front of a British passport for yourself. The vote to leave the European Union was a uk vote not a regional vote. There will be opposition if there is any attempt to break up the uk.

Logic doesn’t go far in NI

So it’s ok for Nationalist to acclaim their Irish identity in the UK but Unionist must abandon their identity in a United Ireland. Hypocritical much 😅

@@natenae8635 "So it’s ok for Nationalist to..." Not much of an analogy. Now if Kilburn was a part of Ireland, it might stand up but it isn't. Even the proudest-of-her/his-Irish-ancestry in Britain are still Brits, without being too sensitive about it, if you've been in a place for 300 - 400 years, that twice as long as Australians/Canadians, you do have to be taken into account.

Nonsense it’s the residents of Northern Ireland who choose to keep the province within the UK, there was more unionist votes in the last election, and they are leading by quite a way in the polls right now.

The entire Good Friday Agreement was designed to allow for a framework towards reunification if there is a majority consensus for it in Northern Ireland - there isn't. The opinion stated by OP is the basis upon which the IRA conducted The Troubles for 30 years to attempt to force Northern Ireland to reunify, which only caused hate, division and suffering for all people involved, Unionists and Republicans alike. Their statement communicates a distinct ignorance to the history behind the Northern Irish situation.

​@@benjaminwinchester3408 North of Ireland will be returned to the rest of Ireland. The UK is dead. Empire gone never to return. Loyalism is so stupid its beyond words.

There is a peace process in place. We will get a vote in time. It's all laid down. We just need the politicians to get on with it.

As Boris said about the Hong Kongers they would be welcome anytime.

They will,but not as soon as that,but soon nonetheless. Sad part is they want to believe the uk can change eu laws just to suit them,but they can’t. Not too long ago the Europeans re-examined their way of trading with uk and with Northern Ireland and it highly unlikely they’ll change it.at least not for a bunch of extremist yesterday’s men like the unionists.But there is another door the dup would be terrified of and that’s the door to the south (re-unification) The eu has torn apart the Tory party more than once…and it’s been clawing at the tories since Brexit. It may very well do the same to the unionists,but on a more serious level.

Just make sure there’s enough orange juice when they have meetings.

Yep 2017. May and noris Johnson held up Brexit by not going for a deal for brecit in 2917 why vote before a deal and not after?

Boris got nothing done,we just walked away with no deal and the conservatives couldn’t care less about abandoning the north of Ireland.

@@paulritchie5868 there was a deal, it's just it wasn't a good deal and it was never going to be a good deal. Leaving the EU means you don't get all the good stuff like export markets for businesses to sell to.

Ironically they were paid some dark money to campaign for brexit, which is what caused this whole mess!

I agree that this is far from satisfactory but it was the bast that could be done in the circumsatances

The GFA decided how this dysfunctional system works don’t blame the UK government because the DUP wants to be payed for no work. I agree these slackers should get minimum wage anytime they boycott.

@@natenae8635 Northern Ireland is a failed state. It's continuing existence has only been possible because successive British governments have been accomplices in appalling discrimination against the Catholic or nationalist community. The GFA was a means of bringing a form of peace to the six counties but doesn't guarantee the future. The UK government has a duty to treat all sides fairly and without discrimination. I only hope the Irish government does the same!

True.. It almost encourages the second party to collapse the assembly in order to get concessions... And a two year full pay break from work....🤔🤦

@@thetwoboyos8366 exactly. Like training pavlov's dogs.

I agree - vote DUP

The issue isn't with the Irish but rather with the dwindling British majority in Northern Ireland, the worst of whom hate the growing Irish minority there, leading to slogans such KAI (kill all Irish) in some housing estates. The larger jurisdiction on the island consists of 26 out of the 32 counties, and for all its faults, the people there are not disunited, in any real sense, although there isn't as much mixing between white, black and Asian Irish as ideally there could be.

The DUP don't see themselves as irish

As a southern Irishman i have looked at N.I. for 49 years and fail to get the unionist position to this day,ii think their dilemma has bred to a culture of hate or just distaste of the Irish...i remember meeting a ptetty unionist girl in a Belfast hotel 20 years ago ..i tried to chat her up, she asked me where i was from i replied " Kilkenny"( a county in Ireland there are only 32 znd every 10 year old knows them all ) she said she had never heard of it.....The Girl was a pharmacist,so well educated..either she had activley avoided learning of the counties of Ireland or didnt want to acknowlage their existance...she went on to refer to Ireland as Mexico( south of the border)...which i thought was quite funny😂

@@johnsometimeswrong8742 Hey, they even hate the Scottish now, unless they have adapted to the Ulster English nationalism, which 99.9% of us havent

The unionist position is set on being an enclave of British love, royalism and identity, but outside of the pompus classes of the UK, Royal family and Conservative party nobody cares about them in the UK or thier complaints. They live in thier own pre colonial world that is shrinking by the year.

It's wildly popular in the republic. I don't think you understand how much the British government is to blame when it comes to things going wrong in Northern Ireland. Brexit is the most obvious and recent example, ripping up our peace process in the name of dogmatic euroscepticism. They're the headache on the rest of the world... and the rest of the world knows it.

A headache for the UK because there is no peace without liberation. United Ireland is going to undo a great wrong.

I can almost guarantee a lot of those unionists will not be able to stomach living in a united Ireland . They'll be coming your way. Enjoy 👍

There is definitely a majority in favour of unity in the south. Always has been and continues to be. I think it’s impossible because of the militant unionists and it’s not worth a return to violence. There should be long term commitment to working together and smoother relations instead.

@@user-sm9jy2jm1i Why would they? Northern Ireland was formed because part of Ireland did not want to break away from Britain. They didn't want to leave during the Trouble, indeed it was militant Unionists who started the Troubles. British troops originally went into to Northern Ireland to protect Catholics from Protestant attacks. Sein Fein isn't the only NI party that was the political arm of a terrorist organisation, and good percentage of the recent violence and threats have come from the Unionist side. I don't think they are any more than the IRA, just going to accept being ruled by what they see as a foreign power.

Abortion is here to stay. Remember the referendum?

Unfortunately ni always votes for green or orange and two always will be majority in government

England has no democratic authority to do anything. Only the British government in Westminster has that. All of Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales have their own internal governments and in the case of Scotland there was a referendum in 2014 in regard to its becoming an independent country.

It is a victory for Sinn Fein, they are now the largest political party in Northern Ireland. Why shouldn't they celebrate? Unionists would.

@larrykavanagh5197 because they have the power now so should use it wisely and fairly and not inflame things, show maturity, if they want a united irela d it has to be inclusive

@@dmcg6074 haven't they already pronounced that they will represent all the people of Northern Ireland without discriminating. It's unfortunate that Unionists/Loyalists didn't do that rather than create an apartheid state which led to the troubles. Sinn Fein are still entitled to aspire to achieving a United Ireland and have a mandate from the electorate to pursue that goal while Unionists have a mandate to preserve the Union and have been striving for that cause too. That's democracy and when the referenda on unity eventually happen the people from both North and South will have their democratic choice. That day is approaching more rapidly because of the divisive nature of Brexit which Unionists supported. Unionists thought that Brexit would ensure their place within the Union and further separate North & South and they celebrated the leave result despite the fact that the majority in Northern Ireland wished to remain. They even pursued a hard Brexit opposing the wishes of the electorate in Northern Ireland. They shot themselves in the foot and Sinn Fein capitalised as any astute political party would. If the Northern Ireland Assembly gets underway with a Sinn Fein First Minister Sinn Fein will be entitled to celebrate but unfortunately I foresee some more stumbling blocks ahead when the small print in the amended Windsor Framework deal proves unpalatable to some staunch Unionists.

Off you go to your wannabe masters in Europe then and see how you get on

They are a planted settler. Divide and conquer

Maybe your just not the brightest spark🙄 l will keep it simple to help you understand, if you live in Scotland you could be classed as Scottish, if you lived in Wales you could be classed as Welsh, if you lived in England you could be classed as English , if you lived in Northern Ireland you could be classed as Irish or Northern Irish, now these four nations collectively are joint and come under the banner of the United Kingdom , the flag of the combined United Kingdom is the Union Flag 🇬🇧 hence why inhabitants of each of these four nations may "march around with a union jack" and as for the UK a failing nation I think you will find it's a much superior nation in many ways ( complete with its own air force and navy) compared to the likes of the republic of Ireland which is wholly dependant on the European Union to keep afloat, perhaps the above could be a few of the reasons why so many Republic of Ireland citizens move to the UK including for better lifestyle and career prospects and why Northern Ireland Unionists want to remain tied to the UK. Hope you now have a broader mind focus and a better understanding. 😉🇬🇧

NI needs a subvention from the UK government to the tune of ~£15bn per annum. Are you suggesting they could survive as an independent nation state?

You on the 💊 they can move back to England they x that place

Only twice since the invention of N. Ireland has it put more into the UK Exchequer than it has taken out. Do not underestimate the determination of Unionists to live off the sweat of the Englishman's brow.

But they won't go for independence either, they have been asked plenty times and have spoken a resounding no.

In the GFA the only options are union with Britain or reunification with Ireland. Independence is not an option.

It's for voters not to give them a mandate to exploit :-)
