Lovely decent man fought for peace in N.lreland and equility as Derrys Catholics had no say in the running of their own town as one man one voted didnt axist for them as it was an all Loyalist council.If there was seven males in a Catholic house in Derry they got one vote and if a loyalist protestant house has the same number of males and owned a business they had eight votes so John Hume organized a civil rights march for equility and the rest is history the british soldiers shooting unarmed peacefull demontrators.......
@@ST-ur7oh the northern Ireland prime minister basil brooke openly supported religious discrimination so that is a huge reason why nationalists in Derry didn't have a job. this was confirmed in the Cameron commission. Catholics in northern Ireland did get an education. Most students of Queens university Belfast are now Catholic. During the 1940s the labour government made it easier for the working class to get to university. That had the effect of helping them out of poverty and into more senior positions. This meant there were enough Catholic intellectuals about in the 1960s to challenge the northern Ireland state and its support of religious discrimination. John Hume certainly did what he could to bring jobs to Derry.
@inspector morse the man who ended the violence in northern Ireland and won the Nobel peace prize for doing so was an appalling man? Consider this, there are thousands of English civilians, British soldiers and unionists who are now alive because John Hume used his influence to end the bloodshed. Without him they would have been killed.
The presenter speaks as if Catholics & nationalists in Ireland exist only on sufferance, by Your British leave. Hume in the Pantheon with Parnell & Dan OConnell.
@13:50 "there is no need for a police station here because fundamentally the people here are law abiding" Before he finishes the law abiding part a stone is thrown at the car.
Paul Dunne I think you may find horrific is one word to describe he cesspit otherwise known as the Bog Side. Call it what you want but the city lies in a british soil. No surrender. .

@Shane Gallagher except winning civil rights for nationalists, abolishing stormont, attracting investment into northern ireland, being the architect of the 1990s peace process, ending the violence, establishing a non sectarian government in the north with the good friday agreement and winning the nobel peace prize. Apart from all that john hume did nothing.
@@adrianmccann6428 i felt shane's comment was unfair. There are thousands of irish and british people alive now because of john hume. It says a lot that both sinn fein and the dup, former enemies of his, paid glowing tributes to him when he died. They recognised his greatness. John hume is the greatest northern nationalist politician since partition and one of the greatest irish heroes ever. Everyone remembers parnell. Everyone will remember John hume too.
This Great Man tried to tell the World what was really happening to the Irish People at the hands of Unionists, but the World failed the Irish People of that Time Period.
God almighty the man talking at 17 minutes talking about too much life being lost. little did he know. chilling, even Hume couldn't imagine the horror we would be subject to by sadists in love with killing
It seems to me that by forcing Tony Faulkner out you will just end up with someone more right wing than him. Despite what John Hume said at the end there. I guess we will find out as the situation develops.
Yes through and through, John Hume was the founder member who started up the SDLP and civil rights march from the city he was born Derry, equality for the Catholics that lived there. He didn't take any nonsense from one side or the other he wanted peace in N.lreland and everyone to get along.Back then it was a very different place to live we don't want in any way to go back to those times it was horrifying and frightening as I was a very young child living in Belfast but not anymore.
If ye'd bothered to check out the timestamp the original commenter referred to, you'd see that he was asking about the 'poet' who opened for Hume at his meeting, not Hume himself.
RIP JOHN,IRELAND'S GREATEST NATIONALIST LEADER
The greatest northern nationalist since partition. Rip john hume.
When British commercial tv did serious documentaries
"Serious" but on their terms of Reference. See comments ABOVE
When I think of great white leaders, it's hard to find one except for John Hume. Ali. Mandela. Gandhi. Buddha. And r wee John. Peace always wins
John Hume is the Irish MLK
Very much respect this man.

Would help if they got off their arses and got a job rather than sponge off the state
How about the catholic men in that one house got off their ass got an education and got a job ?

kevin gallagher Sometimes I do admire the Nationalist PR spin.
Rest In Power John Hume
you know serious shit is going to start when that thames t.v. intro music is starting
The presenter speaks as if Catholics & nationalists in Ireland exist only on sufferance, by Your British leave. Hume in the Pantheon with Parnell & Dan OConnell.
The way he says "I'll go check." When all the Catholics assure him their street was on rent strike was so condescending.
@13:50 "there is no need for a police station here because fundamentally the people here are law abiding" Before he finishes the law abiding part a stone is thrown at the car.
The reporter seems particularly obtuse. He understands nothing, and is happy in his ignorance. How English!
RIP John Hume.
Hume spot on proven correct.
Rest in peace legend
A truly great man.
Derry realy has produced some great irish patriots
Yeah Martin McGuinness being it's most famous Irish patriot!
Londonderry is a horrific place
@@ST-ur7oh If it was called Londonderry it would be horrific but thankfully its real name is Derry. Tiocfaidh ár lá.

I respect John Hume. As an Irish nationalist he has a right to his position and I truly believe he was against violence all the way through his life.
In the long run he will be vindicated
As soon as you take up violence you have lost the argument,you become as bad as the people that are oppressing you...

Good man passive resistance.
Great man
RIP

John Hume seemed a fair man, It's unfortunate for him the PIRA ensured there will never be a United Ireland unless the Republic rejoins the UK.
Derry 🇮🇪
sara ryan LONDONDERRY forever
🇮🇪🇮🇪Derry
4:00 is this guy really Irish?
edmund184 Yes , one of the few sensible ones !! He realised armies , guns and bombs was not the solution to the Troubles !!!
edmund184 doesn’t sound it, he seems like a dose
More to the point, is the guy at 9:30 really Irish?
