+jovan lipovatz should the Warsaw ghetto uprising have waited till Germany wasn't so occupied with war? of course not. To condemn Irishmen for similar action is to maintain double standard.
Arlene foster can say what she wants but when her people go around burning their neighbors flag, killing catholics and causing unrest it makes her opinion very hard to swallow and frankly quite void of any legitimate statement
Adrian Duggan what arlene foster confidently forgets is that the troubles in n.Ireland started because of human rights violations Apartide to give it its correct name
I think the DUP are deliberately trying to provoke sin Fein and NI nationalist to get what they want. Ni gel Farage is known to support them to withdraw the backstop. It may misfire on them though.
I wonder what fascistoid advantage the DUP and Arlene Foster see in Brexit... maybe they believe it will give them back the British Empire? It can be hard to make sense of their disturbed brain patterns
hes not irish hes a brit loving bastered who wont be remembered in 30 years never mind 100 years , that in it self says it all for the men and women of 1916
I think it is unfair to call the 1916 Easter Rising a failed rebellion and to say the British crushed the rebellion because from then on each generation continues to without fear carry out a stronger revolution.
The successful Irish war of independence 1919 - 1921 began in the stone breakers yard in 1916, A war where almost the entire Irish nation turned their anger on the occupiers and drove them out. Sky would have the viewers of this believe that Britain gave into peaceful political pleading after 1916 rather than the fact that massive regions of Ireland were no longer under British control by 1921, Irish forces had taken them back by force, we had installed our own laws and military police even our own courts. Hard to believe the British are still trying to control the narrative of a conflict they lost 100 years ago.
I was there, in Dublin, in 2016, for the centenary of the Easter Rising ; great and moving celebration ! Big respect for all the men and women who fought, and unfortunately died, for a free Ireland from a Frenchman who loves this beautiful Country for so many years now ! Erin Go Bragh !
I think any analysis of 1916 must acknowledge that on three occasions the UK partliment failed to enact home rule legislation. In 1913 the British authority facilitated the open importation of arms and the formation of the UVF. It was clear the nationalism had attempted democracy westmisinster style and justice for Ireland was alien to that parliament. England's imperial war in Europe was not our concern. Our patriots used this opportunity to strike for freedom.
Disappointing journalism from Sky News. Failed to get at the true nature of the Easter Uprising. Too much concern on the troubles in Northern Ireland, where the Easter Rising was not a significant motivator to the causes of the Troubles. It may have been an episode of violence but more than anything it was a sacrifice of a group of people who hoped for a better future. The brutal violence protruding the Rising was mainly conducted by the British government much like so much violence before and after this episode on the island of Ireland. Britain needs to be humble in their revision of history and make amends for their mistakes. Too long have they shifted the blame on to others.
We have a remarkable history but Ireland didnt begin in 1916 and we have an amazing history that goes back thousands of years even before Newgrange, we have been Farmers, Astronomers, Warriors, Fishermen, Foresters, and in more recent times Artists, Musicians, Poets, Philosophers, so i say lets celebrate that also instead of having a limited view of our own country and thats exactly what the likes of Padraig Pearse would have wanted.
These men were heroes like those who surrounded Boston and fought on Bunker Hill to fight for liberty and the idea that all are created equal and are born with unalienable rights. The truth that our American founding fathers held to be self evident. I am a proud American of Irish descent!
Very bad reporting. Very unethical. Very filtered and poorly edited. Do modern Britons not feel a small bit of shame for all the troubel they have been part of causing with all there land grabbing.
A magnificent move by the old cast of England would be for the queen before she dies, to release all the realms of the Disneyland and recognize she and her house is just a tourist attraction. She should be magnification enough to let her people be free outside the old world.
And meanwhile in 1913 , the Ulster Volunteers were founded. Armed by German weapons. And let do so by the British government. With the express aim of genocide. 1916 didn’t happen in a vacuum.
Irelands relationship with england and scotland have never been better because they now respect us as a state and we cooperation, but northern ireland, still going to be awkward unless arlene foster steps down
Adrian Duggan if they would only please stop using this term "British isles" and getting offended when the existence of their so called "royal" family is criticised
the thing with home rule was that it included the whole of Ireland but the Unionists kept opposing it all the time. the british apparently promised home rule after the first world war but no one and certainly none of the revolutionary leaders of the 1916 rebellion would have known when the first world war would end...
The leaders knew it would end eventually. Why not wait and see whether Britain intended to make good on their promise? Only then, if the British reneged, would there be a case for an uprising. 1916 was a tragic waste.
@freebeerfordworkers The fact that it was postponed shows that it was never put into effect and that it was not considered priority by the British government therefore my comment that the British government reneged on their promise still stands. Also British government were sending Irish men to die in world war one, which under any form of self rule, the Irish may have had a chance to object to _ this and wanting independence was what the Easter rising participants were demonstrating against
The English treated the Irish badly for centuries and it was no wonder the Irish wanted their own state and to govern themselves with their own laws and so on. I apologize to the people of the Irish Republic for the actions of my country over hundreds of years. I hope one day Ireland will be reunited peacefully with the Unionists of Northern Ireland being granted the status of co Irish British citizenship. In that way they can keep their connections to Britain while also becoming part of a United Irish Nation as well. The leaders of the Rising were true heroes to their country - they knew the rising could not succeed against the might of the British Army but went ahead with it anyway, fully realizing that it would most likely lead to their deaths, as what happened with their executions. The Rising’s leaders succeeded in creating an Irish Republic - though not a United Ireland - at the cost of their own lives, with the exception of Eamon DeValera, spared because he was born in America. Ireland is such a beautiful country and its people are really wonderful. Let us hope Ireland has put the violence of the last century behind it once and for all. For me it is a great pleasure to visit Ireland and I hope to do so again.
two years on the northern executive has broken down. brexit has been passed arlene and Co. are holding up the British government. roaring for a hard border in ireland despite her own unionist buissness people yea northern Ireland nearly back to its old self
There was no other option to get freedom for 5/6 of the island. Only shame is that the last 6 counties are still under British rule. But thanks to the DUP and Brexit an United Ireland is coming
The dumbest thing the British could have done when the Easter Rising took place is when in the aftermath they took the men who were the essentially masterminds and executed them. They made a bunch of nationalists into martyrs. And it's probably the dumbest thing the British government could have ever done. What they should have just done was left the men to rot in prison and that would have probably had a much more demoralising effect. Now I personally have no connection to Great Britain or Ireland. My heritage seems to stem more from the Italian island of Sardinia. But still I can definitely understand why the Irish would want full Independence.
That’s empire mentality at that time. Don’t forget Dublin was seen as the 2nd city to London at that time. If those men in kilmanham knew the consequences of their deaths they would have went down smiling.
Those men and women who where behind the rising are much more than heros ...and yes we do praise them and always will......they are totally justified in their actions ...i love them forever♥️🇮🇪
In my opinion Bruton's analysis is simplistic. There is no certainty that a united 32 county republic could have been achieved had the Rising not happened. Ulster Unionists have never willingly conceded anything ever. The President's response makes more sense to me - that the Rising should be seen in the context of the nature of Imperialism and that it was the British response to it that turned Ireland from a country awaiting Home Rule to one seeking Independence. Because of the Imperial context, it is significant (in my opinion) that armed groups that claim a legacy to the ideals of 1916 have failed to change the hearts and minds of Irish people and if anything have re-enforced partition. I doubt their day will ever come at this stage.
Quite audacious for a British news publication to use an absolute minute segment of Nationalists in Northern Ireland as an example for criticism of celebrating the event on the whole. Celebrating the Centenary will have a vastly smaller affect on prolonging the number of Irish deaths than the annual military Remembrance Day celebrations will have on prolonging the number of British deaths.
Yeah, we waited for 900 years for the English to leave us alone, if we had just been patient and waited another 50 years they would have left, how can they say these things with a straight face
Comically how people 100 years later can finger point and say that wasn't right based on modern values. That attitude demonstrates ignorance and shows an utter lack of real intelligence and rational thinking. The main thing left out here is this was an up rising of intellects and those with Jobs ,position etc. and even former British soldiers , not the normal type of rebel. That scared the Brits and scares the likes of Burton today.
Murder of a policeman?! No, self defence of his family home with his brothers.. Thomas Kent simply fought back, & had no active part in the Rising.. 🇮🇪
Fun fact majority of soldiers fighting the Irish in the war were Irish regiments like for example in the war of independence the Connacht rangers fought the ira
For anyone in this documentary advocating for the non- necessity of violence, they are not Irish. All armed revolutions throughout history were thoroughly justified, having failed through peaceful negotiations. 🇮🇪☘
It's often said that there's no difference between Fianna Fail and Fine Gael. That's more or less true politically, but culturally, there's a huge difference. After independence, Fine Gael became the receptacle for southern unionism and on a visceral level, their people have never been entirely comfortable thinking of themselves as representative of a sovereign people. That's why they've always been such good Europeans. They're loyal to the "bigger" thing. 100 years ago, that was the Empire, today it's the EU, but really, they're just embarrassed to be Irish.

A lot if British ignorant and spiteful comments on a Irish republican video .I guess the British are obsessed nationalism now like Irish used be why else would be whinging about the EU. Nationalism British or Irish or Scottish is sickening with lead to extremist views.
It is entirely right to commemorate the foundation story of the Republic of Ireland, and the subsequent events. Violent it most assuredly was, on both sides, including for my family (& even me, albeit somewhat marginally). But, The Uprising is a fact and the shared future, even in 2019, seems assured. Let's hope so. Perhaps it's time for the Republic to rejoin the Commonwealth of Nations...
When British Empire is mentioned as the English Empire, the Irish, the Scots and the Welsh hasten to add that it is not an ‘English Empire’ because they were all part of the ‘Empire’. If Ireland cuts its traditional links with England, it will be in a state of free fall, wherein it might end up under third world social quality nations like India, China, Pakistan etc. Beyond that there have been comparisons made between the social quality of Ireland and certain locations in the Indian peninsula, during the times of the English colonialism. And the oft-mentioned Great Famine in Ireland has many similarities to a famine in the Bengal in the north east of the Indian subcontinent. Without the English link, Ireland is nothing.
It is simple. There are hundreds of nations in the world. 'one among them' is going to be a very terrible experience. Check this also: archive.org/details/MeinKampf_201512 Page no: 16
Most countries that are under or were under British rule suffered alot of poverty if Ireland didn't get the independence it has today for all we know Ireland would still be in deep poverty
+VED from VICTORIA INSTITUTIONS Traditionally Ireland was the Ruler of Wales, Scotland "Hence its Name" and Western England. Had the best education system in the early Medieval world and was the main source of the Carolingian Renaissance Also China and India had long periods of being 1st world nations

Beyond that there have been comparisons made between the social quality of Ireland and certain locations in the Indian peninsula, during the times of the English colonialism.
And the oft-mentioned Great Famine in Ireland has many similarities to a famine in the Bengal in the north east of the Indian subcontinent.
Without the English link, Ireland is nothing.
It is simple. There are hundreds of nations in the world. 'one among them' is going to be a very terrible experience.
