I'm a US/UK dual national who lived in Belfast for 10 months in
2008-2009. Whist living in Belfast, I proudly voted SF. One Ireland,
united, Gaelic, and free! BTW, I have no Irish ancestry.
You probably voted for Joe Biden too and look how that worked out?
Let us have our United Ireland!
United Ireland tomorrow
I'd vote for any party that passes legislation against interlaced footage!
Why'd you have to drag me to hell with you? 😂
"The price of a pint" 🤣 a man after my own heart.
An alcoholic?
@@geeksworkshop he's an alcoholic because he likes beer?
Hope so!
Big respect to the unsung and often abused heroes, that are helping to feed the people. I can just see the looks on some people's faces. Not of appreciation, like it should be. But of scornful hate. Unfortunately.
Bare in mind that both the DUP and Sinn Fein both disagreed with MLA's having their pay suspended while the assembly wasn't sitting. This despite the NHS here being a disgrace and the cost of living skyrocketing. Suspend _all of their pay_ until there is a sitting assembly, and then see how they will all miraculously start doing what they were voted in to do.
You are 100 percent right !
No other part of the UK , would pay MP's who are not working and attending parliament, no other working person would receive full pay if they did not fulfil their duties.
Thank you
@@johnohara197 Rubbish. Our MP's get their pay when they're on any one of their extended holiday periods. It was the DUP who crashed the assembly so let it be them who don't get paid. Sinn Fein wanted the assembly to continue.
@@captainwin6333 - Sinn Fein crashed the assembly for several years in 2017. One of sticking points for the assembly reconvening was Sinn Fein's insistence on the Irish Language Act being introduced. Yet the Sinn Fein MLA's still received the vast majority of their wages even when the assembly wasn't sitting. Just like they take their Westminster expenses even though they don't take their seats there either!
Sean is correct neither the DUP or Sinn Fein actually care for the people they represent I would argue that they don't even care much for their expoused political beliefs, I suspect all they care about is lining their pockets
@@Sean-lv6fx the Sinn Fein gravy train knows no stop. Elected to Parliament, don't sit in it and get paid. What a grift!
Just get the GPs to open up the surgeries again instead of hiding and putting pressure on the hospitals
Thank you to ALL HELPERS OUT THEIR. HEARTS AT THEIR BEST
Who will be first to leave the UK Scotland or N Ireland?
United Ireland very much on the cards.
Think it's a bit more complex than that.
Catholic unionists may vote Sinn Fein, but would they vote for a UI? - look at the SNP's voter base and how many actually support independence for example.
Would the Republic of Ireland want it? - it would be like taking a problem child into their house.
Would the Irish people support the hike in tax to pay for it?
Would violence break out again?
Ireland would be taking on near to 1 million separatists who want nothing to do with reunification - they are indeed ethnically British after all.
@@ep1929
There has always been majority support in Ireland for Unity.
Northern Ireland's economy is poor because of being in the UK.
It would do much better in a United Ireland.
All of Ireland would. It would bring huge benefits.
Partition has been disastrous for Ireland, North and South.
Irish Unity is pretty much inevitable re demographics alone.
@@roisinmalone3015 are you serious
@@roisinmalone3015 your economy is terrible but much love to you.
@Jack the Film Fanatic lol UK is mostly a toilet. Take London and it’s laundering Russian money out of it and all of a sudden it’s bang average or worse.. go to Liverpool, Glasgow and Birmingham… shitholes. Belfast is an extension of that. Then go to Ireland and it’s another world - far better standard of life and will continue to prosper.
Very possible.
The unionist parties (there are so many of them) seem to disagree with other over the most petty of things whereas Sinn Fein, say what you will, are united on common goals.
So why is varadkar still destroying the country?
Look how Varadkar and Meehole has destroyed Ireland. Foreigners own your properties, while Irish people have been abandoned to the streets! DUP is your safety!
@@stephencollins9062 i don't know, I'm not Irish. I'm only speaking from a Northern Ireland perspective.
Four. There are four unionist parties.
@@willjamesb four is too many.
But what i don't get is however many unionist parties there may be, they're all Unionists so what the hell are they disagreeing about.
Good they found a true irish man to interview at the start
Hate brown man 😡
Like a united Cyprus
For all intents and purposes there is only one cyprus, the other is a military state set up by the turks from a bygone era
Both divided islands, ex British colonies, on the edge of Europe, dominated by major powers (races). The major Cyprus problem is, the Turks next door are even worse than the colonial Brits.
Well done for allowing comments on this channel..
Unionism has had very poor leadership for years. They really need to rethink/ rebrand their arguments to appeal to the traditional NATIONALIST voter, instead of constantly polarising the community with their usual sensationalising of issues that stir up old unionist rhetoric.
I waited to see if the unionist parties would finally embrace the Irish language which poses no threat to the union.
I wanted to hear them tell me why I am better off to remain part of the UK. I wanted reassurance that my interests and those of my family will be best catered for within Northern Ireland. Unionism might finally respect all citizens of the community of Northern Ireland.
Unfortunately they didn’t say anything that showed they had my best interests at heart. They keep singing to the choir. Each unionist party trying to outdo the other unionist parties on how divisive and bigoted they can be. The world has had enough of that mindset.
@A N Depends on your perspective really. I’m guessing the occupation, regardless of whether you agree with it or not, is legal enough.
You don't like the benefits of living in Northern Ireland...why not move to the Republic of Ireland? I hear it's a paradise with absolutely no problems
The 'Irish language' is not even spoken in the Republic of Ireland apart from 2 small areas...the Bank of Ireland removed the Irish language option from it's cash machines years ago because it was used in less than 1% of transactions...why should the people of Northern Ireland pays taxes to support an essentially dead language when the NHS is in crisis and young people need affordable homes?
And Nationalist political posturing is not divisive and polarising? I mean it's within living memory that the largest Nationalist party in Northern Ireland was actually endorsing the murder of their fellow citizens
@@kathleenmcmanus8509 The Protestant ascendancy is coming to an end. Surely you can see that? Northern Ireland is a diverse mix of cultures and beliefs that make up one community.
If Unionists don’t rebrand, and start to look at everyone who lives here as a potential vote for unionism, which was the point I was making, then before long I won’t have to move and I will still live in the Republic of Ireland.
Goodbye Northern Ireland, was only a matter of time.
If this happens kiss your free healthcare goodbye, anyone on expensive medication is screwed
Lol, medicine costs are capped in the Republic and people that can't afford it get it for free.
You don't know what you're talking about. We just have a more equal society, if you're rich you pay for it, poor and it's basically free.
On international rankings the Irish health service is actually ranked the same as the UK, Ireland 12th, UK 13th.. Both well behind the Nordic nations all in the top 5.
I've heard of people waiting up to 3 weeks to just see a GP in the North of Ireland, I can usually see one the same day I want one in the Republic.
@@RazorMouth In reality I've heard very mixed reports about your healthcare system. It's a sticking point for a reason, many move-ups have come to Northern Ireland citing healthcare as a factor.
Yes, but when DUP get dumped the county’s health will dramatically improve. No more high blood pressure, no more constipation, no more mood swings. Improved vision and an extra day in the week, Sunday. No more having to adjust your TV’s vertical hold/contrast when wee Sammy Wilson appears. Yes, soon to be the days of wine and roses, agus tiocfaidh ar latte…
@@davekeating. who's day will come? The ira's?
@@RazorMouth what does basically free mean? Why do people move to Northern Ireland for free healthcare?
Now Sinn Fein have won the Election , the unification of Ireland must be the first item on the agenda. We Catholics demand that a referendum be announced as soon as possible so that N.Ireland and Southern Ireland can be unified as one. I'm afraid the Unionists as the minority must make way for this to happen immediately...
No rush Alan , the point is it's the nationalists choice , that's all most of them ever wanted
well you still need that "minority" to get it done cause they arent gonna move aside and allow people to try and change their supposed way of life or well not without a good fight atleast
We would love it to happen that quick Al but unfortunately sinn Fein will have to be in power and make the cost of living better and win some unionists over , they still have a nation majority, 10/15 years is were it will be Catholic majority mate , I pray 32 counties will be soon
100 years away at least
@@damianjoy106 at the very least...I find it very amusing to read the comments from the 32 county folks who seem to think Ireland will be United by Christmas
If I were a Scottish creambun planter in north Ireland now I'd be well gone! But the question is.. go where? No one wants them!
Creambun your'e Ma
It was only a matter of time. Im a unionist myself, i fully believe in being part of Great Britain 🇬🇧 however, Unionist parties over here have been legit shit consistently for many years now. 3 seperate unionist parties up against a united ireland party (one party) which is SF. They have better leadership compared to the Unionists. Many people i talk to over here say they no longer care,why? No leadership to give them a reason to CARE. Where as SF supporters have a specfic goal and in which care about the vote
It was only a matter of time before we were defeated. I dont hold any grudges for anyone voting for SF and a united Ireland, we all have the right to vote, if people of NI didnt want a united ireland, then they should have went out and vote, and the unionists should have had more unity along with leadership.
Karl I hope you don't mind me reply to your message as I thought it was a good one. But to be honest I know where you are coming from about SF years ago I would of voted for them but to be honest with you they are all out for themselves and no one else. I honestly was disgusted the way they act and you don't ever see any of them only when they are looking your vote. I honestly don't know what things they have done for the community I live in or the town and dare I say it Northern Ireland. And people might turn to me and say they did this that and the other but why are we still on crappy low pay which is lower than the actual living wage. Over in the main land is more than in NI. And between DUP and SF they are always throwing their toys out of their prams and having tantrums they are an embarrassment to the country I think it's time for new ones to take over. Out with the old and in with the new 🙂. Any how I have ranted enough lol
@@Videoviewer3905 I don't no of any Irish person... Calling Britain ..... The main land.......... Just thought I would call you out on that one 😉
@@brianmcgovern6207 Who says I'm Irish?
Very sensible. There’s also the SDLIP who believe in reunification.
Dont see it as a "defeat" . All decrepit ideas run them selves out eventually. The world is a smaller place now people cant be spoon fed properganda from the the state broadcasting cooperation -- pravda 2.0 -- anymore when they have all the worlds knowlage in their pockets. They cant be devided and ruled over anymore by the self serving propergandests for their own aims The real shame is that these small minded indevidule's are just showing up why their so obsolete through their behaviour of refusing to share power even if the democratic mandate wills them to do so, it really is quite pathetic and beyound childish. What the hell kind of mentality do thes "men" have, and what chance of a peaceful life for their people does that attatude hope to bring. So no do not look at it as a defeat. As in doing so your just falling for these small minded bigots and their views that derive from the seventeen hundreds ffs.
The futer may or may not be bright. But one thing is certain
But it ant orange
And the Government will still give Ukraine £300 million pounds
Yes, and so they should. Not everything that matters happens close to home.
@@LordOfLight why should they?
Please explain
@@julianp4787 You need to ask. I'll tell you. Because it's imperative, for everyone's sake, that we don't let a dictator with delusions of imperial grandeur stomp all over Europe willy-nilly. If you don't understand why, then read ahead. If you do understand why but disagree, I don't care.
The world is full of problems. Big problems and little problems. That the big problems must be attended to is, presumably, obvious to all; but even little problems can become big problems if ignored. In a nutshell: just because we have a problem of one sort, it doesn't follow that we should ignore all others. Simple really.
None of this should need explanation. While I understand that geopolitics isn't likely to have been on your curriculum when a young, the basic issues of problems and the need to resolve them should have been learnt in childhood.
In future don't trouble me with requests for basic education. Go ask your Dad.
@@LordOfLight firstly my dad is dead! So your sarcastic comment lacked any insight or sensitivity.
Secondly, how the hell do you know what you're talking about when all the allowed cyber info is all we get to 'know'
While idiots like you are touting your spoon fed 'facts' like some kind of subservient religion...., then go ahead and drag us all down
I guess you're one of the dangerous twats who believed Blair's lie about WMD !! Look how many millions were damaged by that !!
Be suspicious of power policy !!
Don't serve it with frenzied self convictions and selective outrage ......
Here is thr catch. It is not 300mil of monet but 300 of debt. It is in essence a loan. It is not charity. This is how however e funnel wealth into the Uk its pretty good for the economy in the long term(uk economy).
A black immigrant in Belfast...maybe if we sent these people back to their home nations we might have less problems?
Also you made a statement with a question mark at the end dopey ballix
@@theinfernomaster8826 I believe the correct spelling is bollocks
@@theinfernomaster8826 not a statement but a question, an invitation for discussion if you prefer?
They didn’t want to find any Irish folks in case it was hurtful to other community groups.
You can just say people of different races make you uncomfortable. If you’re gonna be xenophobic, at least be openly xenophobic instead of acting like you hate black immigrant for some righteous cause.
It’s a brilliant result for Irish people. Not British people
Why can't it be like any other election it's them or others not roi UK EU
I hope so. Stop corruption!
I'm Raging Fiona Derry should this not be Fiona Londonderry 🤬🤣🤣
Flip me Catholics really are excited. Protestant votes are scattered across 5 parties you only have like 1 calm down lads😂
There are 4 republican parties in Northern Ireland. Sinn Fein, SDLP, Aontu and People before Profit can you educate yourself before making stupid comments
@@ssmith1885 yeah but Sinn Fein is the only one that gets the votes you can see that from past elections. You’ll see clearly in this election they’ll be scattered amongst. Don’t tell em to educate my self if you lack inference skills
Sinn Fein get 20 something percent of the votes and people think they’re on the cusp of a united ireland. Lmao
Really hope so.
New troubles watch
Already happening
The more united you think you are the more disunited you get. The disunited republic of mankind. Never mind it won't be long.
I thought most of them were protestants.
40 years ago maybe. A lot can change in a few decades Lex.
The Census that took place last year is expected to show more catholics than Protestants in the north. Northern Westminster seats have more nationalists than unionists. We could tomorrow see a republican first minister be elected and possibly more nationalists in Stormont than unionists. Ground is shifting in Irish politics, north and south. People want change.
@@davealex6640 ‘others’ being small ‘u’ unionists is a thing of the past, the polls just don’t bear it out. The majority of ‘others’ transfers are going straight to nationalist parties
Even if Sinn Finn became the largest party in Northern Ireland, it wouldn’t change a thing. People from Northern Ireland from both sides of the community and beyond want nothing to do with a border poll or a United ireland. The simple reason being, who wants to be part of a country that owes millions of euros in loans to the EU. Plus there’s no NHS in the Republic of Ireland only a system in which you pay for all treatment. No DLA benefits, higher taxes, higher insurance, higher crime rate etc etc. Therefore any one with half a brain should realize that voting to leave one of the wealthiest nations in the world is a no brainer. I for one believe Sinn Finn hasn’t thought there policies through. The Irish Republic could never foot the Bill needed to keep the north of Ireland stable. So I don’t believe Sinn Finn will be the biggest party as all their out for really is the money 💰 & a title.
Well said I totally agree
Nicely said.
S.Ireland relays on others to get by.
@@user-ug8wx5er1w The Irish Republic is a net contributor to the EU which in simple terms means it gives back more than it gets.
Sources: Trust me.
A United Ireland may be cheered on by the Sinn Fein grifters but they never think to themselves, 'then what?'. And that's my question - Then what?
with no government in Belfast, Dublin will become the capital of NI :)
Nope just a regional city,of the globalist EU empire.
@@paullooney2522 oh yes hopefully Scotland Wales and Ni will taste freedom too
Great news the people of NORTHERN IRELAND, deserve and need a change. We'll done sein fein. Hope you've mashed the UDP.. Best wishes from Yorkshire 😜
The UDP.
Spoken like a true Yorkshireman.
With Russia trying to take more of it's neighbour Ukraines land our U.K. lawbreaker & current Russian financed P.M. has stated we do not condone such behaviour and will fight to support sovereign nations from such aggressive neighbours. Based on that logic a United Ireland is the first step to Guarantee Our neighbours in Ireland join Nato to discourage the Russian Navy from ever attempting naval excercises off the coast of Ireland again. As Sir Paul Mcartney sang... 'Give Ireland Back To The Irish'
We dont need nato warmongers, we need naval and air defence.
Can you prove that he is, or are one that believes whatever Sinn Fein/IRA say.
The Irish are no more, to many interlopers have taken over.

Hangers on? really? if we didn't have resources that benefit England don't you think we'd have been gone by now? oh and you CAN'T get rid of us that isn't up to you. It's our choice and our choice alone. We go, NI goes ,Wales too how is England holding onto that security council seat? Where are you storing trident, majority of English ports aren't deep enough for it .There'd have to be a border on Scotland if they go i hear you say? if there was well think of all those permanent security and border jobs that would come up over night . who's defending Scottish waters, i'm sure we can lease or loan use friggates and or destroyers from someone till we build ours.....oh look more jobs! We'd have to adopt the same system as Switzerland with 2/3 years military service and on notice after leaving it for civvy. So yeah not as stupid as you thought.
@@pvtiron How is England holding onto that *permanent* security council seat? Pretty well I’d say. But you know, go ahead, destroy Scotland, it’s economy and any presence it has on the world stage if it makes you happy, I’m sure Putin will love you for it

Well done, Northern Ireland. Kick the bigots and DUP Brexit loyalists where it hurts. Right in the republic as a unified Republic of Ireland joins a possible Republic of Scotland and Ukraine as the EU's newest member states.
Hold you onto your little EU flag you peasant.
There are similarities between what's happening in Ukraine right now and what has happened in Ireland in the past.
@@Jimmy-nr4kr The keywords being "in the past". The whole point is that we don't do this anymore. Make an effort.

Democratic unionist party
An asian man with an irish accent 👀 didnt expect that
Bangle a united Ireland riot! 🔥😜
If Northern Ireland becomes part of the Republic, that lady's wish of having unfettered access to the UK and EU market would be even more difficult, without the NI bargaining chip the UK can just completely close the border to Ireland, Irish people would also lose their special status of not needing visas to enter the UK, in the long run I believe it would make the UK stronger, we could completely isolate Ireland and remove the EU blackmailing us.
Cop on you clown
@@jM-ez7fq What?
