Patrick Kieltys Father was a gentleman. A couple of days before, he called into Newcastle Police station to drop off a petition to keep Dundrum Police station open. He was a much respected local businessman. He was set up by local bigots who were hated in their own community- Millers and Watsons. God sent two catholic Police Officers to his scene and prayed over him. He was a totally innocent victim of the troubles.
Easy to forget how pivotal Kielty's comedy was during those early years of the peace process. Both my parents were Loyalists and they loved him. He lost his edge when he moved across the water but that's to be expected as I think his edge came from what happened to his father. I'm in GB now and wouldn't move back to NI if you paid me, most are incapable of moving on and are more interested in prehistoric cultures than societal issues. Since Covid there's been a rapid decline in Belfast. The junkies rule the streets and the paramilitaries exist to fuel their despair. It's a truly wretched shithole.
@@ATroubledLand Thanks ATL, love the vids, I've been watching almost all of them with an open mind and the more I watch the less I realise I knew about the situation back home. No-one asked to be born into The Troubles and no-one was born willingly into one side or another, I'll return to NI whenever there's a future beyond tribalism. We could all do with watching these videos with a fresh set of eyes to confront our own biases (which I have many).
Funny to see Jackie McDonald trying to say how hard life was after prison & hes such a community worker now. He was the head of a UVF gang that murdered innocent Catholics for the fun of it!! Sorry if I dont feel your pain! He dealt alot more to people. Any wonder young people feel angry because I am watching stuff like this. Bad on both sides but they targeted innocent Catholics and that's all there is to it
After watching both of Pat Kielty’s documentaries, he seems much harder on the activities and members of the IRA in retrospect than those of the Loyalist paramilitaries. Has anybody else found this as well?
It's easier to criticise what you know when you've come from that background and escaped the hivemind. I am more critical of Loyalist terrorists as I lived in one the council estates they ruined.
@@dermotspollen of course both were bad but Loyalists killed his father, so I find that it is somewhat surprising that he never discusses how bad the UVF was, but always shows his animosity toward the IRA who never did anything to his family
This man is genuine...and ATL to thank for this. SF has lost its significance and, Hermann Kelly w the Irish Freedom Party is where it's at. I will add that if NOT for rebellion and the Good Friday Agreement...everyone would emigrate or be deceased. Both sides...in the North.
It great to see all the Irish people living in peace & continuing to work together for a brighter future.

The thumbnail is from the flagstaff viewpoint in Newry, the view of carlingford Lough is beautiful.
The Stormont politicians should all be jailed for failing to represent the people. They should not be getting a salary or a pension.

Very much so Rosie - Thanks for your comment :)
@@ATroubledLand Rosie I don't know if you heard of the channel on here The Ulster History Archives do you know what's happened to the videos on it.

No and both were as bad

You don't see Andrew Stanton around much these days ...
Hopefully the Six County statelet will soon be re-United with the rest of Ireland. It's time.
