    I'm glad you had a good time in Belfast! I'm a local, and it always makes me glad to see people having a good time in our country - I'm glad that our reputation from the 70s, 80s, and 90s is finally starting to heal

    You said you didn't want to get into the North-South partition explanation, which is fair enough. So why then did you entitle the label "...Belfast IE?" You would never dream of saying Dublin UK, but certainly chose to politicise this video caption.
    Belfast, as you should well know, IS part of the UK and not IE. We share the same island, but very different governments, monetary system and cultures. You tried hard not to make a point of the division, but managed to make it anyway - and falsely!

      Belfast, and the north of Ireland is a divided society. Divided because of British policy of colonisation. Just because this happened centuries ago doesn't eradicate it as the root cause of this division. The troubles maybe gone, and a delicate peace has engulfed the place, but in a divided atmosphere, things are always on tenderhooks, and very, very fragile.

      If most people hold a far different opinion than what's 'official' -- then it's purely official on paper -- no majority opinion is actually held and will not subsequently be voted for. You can pretend you still own us all you like, but it's not only you. We're stuck between you or the EU and that's the sad truth. That goes for Protestants and Catholics!

      @@hananahbanana9375 ok well if it isn’t autonomous then what prevents it from being part of Ireland. Like the island of Ireland is essentially a Union similar to the European Union being a union of Europe. Like despite the fact I don’t think the south is a republic the island of Ireland simply cannot just be the republic. Also I can say “you can’t claim” because you did claim that NI cannot be autonomous which you confirmed in your last statement.
      Also just as a caveat countries like Gibraltar and the Falklands have been considered part of the UK but were still autonomous.

    I was born and grew up here. Left in 1984. Lived all over Europe, and came back in 2021. One of the first things I noticed was the red, white, and blue kerbstones. Couldn't get over that this was still a thing. Then I come here and see people berating the woman for the fact she used IE in the title, and the fact that NI is still a part of the UK. Yes it is. Currently. But perhaps not for long. Demographics are like facts: you may not like them, but they don't lie either.
    Let it be, people. It was a nice video. A good advert for Belfast. Half the world thinks we live in a shithole: don't be complete tossers and confirm it.

      NI is not a "country".

The two parts are under different jurisdictions. The supporters of partition are a small minority on the whole island.

      @johndillinger8424 The flag was coined in 1840's to represent all the people of Ireland and is used by people all over Ireland and around the world eversince. You're most likely to see the flag flown in Ireland in places like Derry city or west Belfast, both of which are in UK. People all over Ireland including the part in the UK (NI) use it as their national flag. RoI is not a person. It cant speak. RoI was set up for the irish nation of people so adopted this flag. Anyone born in Ireland gets automatic citizenship to RoI and also the RoI was claiming all of Ireland as it territory untill 1998, so using the tricolour whicj represents all irish people was not unusual. If you think because now RoI only has jurisdiction over part of Ireland and therefore is only used by people within the RoI you're wrong. You're really wrong if you think meaning of the flag was set up to only represent a jurisdiction on Ireland that did not exist for another 70 years after it was first coined.
