You'd think with all the massive resources available to Sky and Burley that she'd be better informed on how Northern Ireland voted when it came to brexit
They would have informed her, but she didnt brush up on her facts.
@@lamueldagon7618 and probably didn't care either.
Burley's a Tory stooge so it's not surprising.
You gotta understand these media types/companies play dumb because they have helped the scam along.
It’s a Tory handout
It seems the DUP, along with other unionists, thrive on conflict and without it they would probably have no purpose. What a sad situation, when the prospect of peace is seen as a threat.
The unionists are a threat to peace in Ireland. They are the most uneducated group of people on the island of Ireland.
Absolutely Spot on Bravo Mary Lou ! 👏👏
I like how Mary Lou Mcdonald corrects Kay right away. Great video!
Scared stammer would’ve agreed with Kay and use the sme talking points that the brexiteers use.
@@kevonslims7269 Starmer actually said he (as a future PM) would support northern Ireland being kept in the UK in the case of a reunification referendum- This is expressly forbidden by the GFA, both the UK and Ireland are supposed to remain neutral.
@@SirAntoniousBlock you are right about Starmer and this would be against the Good Friday agreement treaty but we in Ireland 🇮🇪 would have to first agree to unification of Ireland then the referendum on unification of Ireland would without any interference from UK or Ireland if that referendum failed then it would seven years before another referendum on unification of Ireland.
Of course Ireland should have been allowed to be independent years back but the unionists terrorists loyalists terrorists bigots cause all kinds of problems and trouble especially when the last prime minister in the six counties of Ireland wanted the Irish Catholic people to be treated better of course the unionists loyalists terrorists bigots didn't listen and he was removed from office.
The real problem was the unionists loyalists terrorists bigots couldn't stop the younger people from meeting with other young people from both sides of the communities

"...but we in Ireland 🇮🇪 would have to first agree to unification of Ireland..."?
No, that is not how it would actually work.
There is NO possibility of any referendum in Ireland🇮🇪 concerning Irish unification, UNLESS and UNTIL a majority in Northern Ireland(NI) have voted to leave the UK in a referendum.
At the moment, all available evidence indicates that were such a referendum to beheld in NI today, it would be resoundingly defeated.
In say ten years time, it would probably pass with a very slim majority.
In 15 years time, it would probably get a large majority.
@@gloin10 Yes. And when the time is right for a referendum (politically), it's an all-island referendum. Even if 100% of the voters in NI decide on reunifiction, and only 50% of the Republic voters decide no, then it's No to reunifiction. At the moment the ROI would probably vote overwhelmingly against reunification. Why? Simple. We don't want the nutters in the DUP/TUV. Keep them
Edited for spelling
British viewers will hear the words " Sinn Fein" and dismiss whatever she says, 99% of them have no idea of the politics in N Ireland.
Not all "British" viewers. We in Scotland care and we didn't want to leave either.
Yep and rightly so
That's a very xenophobic comment! I'm a Londoner and have always had sympathy with Sinn Fein. Helps to have friends of Irish extraction to explain.
@@AuxesisHyperbole666 British and Irish are virtually identical genetically, don't use the word racist incorrectly.
The British for the most part have no idea about the politics in Britain, didn’t they vote for Brexit after all.
Fed up how condescending the majority of British commentators are toward Ireland .They are either badly informed or just dont care.We are no longer the poor relative.We are one of the richest and most educated countries in the world .I have still problems with Sinn Fein but admired Mary Lou in the way she "educated" Kay Burley
Take it from me, we here in Scotland feel the same way as ROI. The English have always been condescending towards us (as a nation)
An English/British media who,at best, ignore Scotland. At worst, belittle and insult us and are totally hostile to our elected government.
Btw, latest (reliable) polling puts support for independence at 54% . And growing!
The best thing about this interview was McDonald's "au contraire" 🤣🤣🤣
Well said Max.

It will allow them to whip up their secterian partners into restarting violence.

@@kevinnolan1339 Yeah, England will very quickly find out just how special the bond with the US is if they keep pushing this insanity. I've never heard of Guy Falke's Day being celebrated in US cities.
Kay Burley is a fine example of how poor the majority of "journalists" are in GB in this days.
all they've got to do is read a fkin script
and they can't even do that right
Compared to those "journalists" on GB News and Talk Radio she is a shining professional The only problem bar has never been so low!
@@Peter-Ac speaking of GB news.
GB News are actively seeding in the anti immigration protests being organised by IFP and NP parties. They love and ache to be called far right - right so far. Seeding in race debates and hate against refugees, when completely ignoring neoliberal policies that have ransacked Dublin, the surrounding counties, and other cities with dereliction, precarious living and homelessness.
The likes of the IFP, NP, and figures known to be with Farage have appeared relatively unknown to the East Wall community, and Ballymun, Drimnagh and more.
There's an orchestration going on, and it's quite similar to the carry on that has gone on with Brexit, the EDL, TurningPoint, hell even the UVF, MI5. Wouldn't be surprised if the DUP, TUV or Orange Order are involved.
Their presence is ominous but known, especially with regard to the Na(z)t-ional Party .
She's usually quite good. However, clearly doesn't understand the issue.
@@whatsinaname11 quite good? You’re having a laugh, she’s part of the problem
Mary Lou is a very very smart person and a genuine passionate Irish leader.
The media were quick to show the latest statement from Leo Varadkar, saying he regrets that the N. Ireland protocol was implemented, without the consent of both Unionists and Nationalists.
However they very conveniently left out, the part of that statement in which he said Brexit, was installed against the wishes of the majority of Unionists and Nationalists, who voted to remain in the European Union.
The media showing only the part, that suits Brexit voters once again.
Brexit was imposed without the consent of the people of NI.
Easy on the commas, Bumbling, but fair point.

Good afternoon Max and all here. This lady is absolutely correct. They voted for remaining and she explains it very cleary. And I thought that good Friday agreement was signed and done forever. The Tories do not understand the dangerous of playing with it plus DUP. 😝
At last, a politician facing reality and stating fact. Kudos to the leadership of the Republic of Ireland.

@@12bigredd , yes, I can’t wait either. SF have made a complete mess of their power sharing government in Northern Ireland, soon they may make a mess of All of Ireland too . At the moment Ireland is the 3rd safest country in the World, Northern Ireland isn’t in the top 25. Ireland is the 6th richest country in the world per capita, Northern Ireland isn’t even in the top 50. Ireland is the 6th most equal country in the World, once again, NI isn’t even in the top 50, which is to be expected as homophobia, bigotry and racism are rampant there, not to mention the amount of indigenous criminality. What have SF being doing in NI for the past 30 years? Not a lot it seems, not a lot. Except, of course, to continually have their elected representatives prosecuted in both jurisdictions, dodgy SF should be their official title. They will ruin the Republic, just like they helped ruin Northern Ireland, yeah, I’m really looking forward to them being in power.😂😂

*I AM CONSTANTLY AWARE* of just now much better the Sinn Fein politicians are than the British ones - on either side.
They are eloquent, passionate, intelligent, full of facts.
I lived in Eire for more than 16 years. In that time, Sinn Fein politicians were the ones who rolled up their sleeves, talked to the people in the neighbourhoods that they represented, got to grips with the real issues and then set about how to make those issues less destructive. If only we could have a UK government that did that. But in Scotland the SNP has been following similar approaches and I think perhaps the Welsh government is doing similar. Let's think - who have I left out?
Not just SF politicians but Irish politicians in general are excellent are pointíng these things out. 🇮🇪👍
@@WVislandia The exeptionalist ENGLISH have been left out. But that doesn't matter. They have been dishing it out for centuries, time to take it.

I must say I commend you for mentioning Phil from A Different Bias and James O'Brien from LBC. You and those 2 are my favourite political commentators. In addition to yourself, I am also subscribed to A Different Bias but not LBC as I'll end up receiving content from horrible bellends like Nick Ferrari and Iain Dale. When I go to TH-cam one of the first things I look for is new content from yourself. You all are legends.
First time I've seen her and I was impressed. As with Sturgeon, a principled and competent leader. Only in England have they allowed politics to descend into farce and charlatanry. Thank you for sharing this.
There are some very impressive individuals representing Sinn Fein and the SDLP. The unionist representatives such as Sammy Wilson are dreadful.
Sinn Féin won 36 seats in the last general elections (out of 160), the same as reigning Fianna Fáil and two more than their coalition partners, Fine Gael. The big two (Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael) then formed a coalation with the Greens to keep SF out of power. SF is gaining more and more support these days because they have, at least in the Republic, moved away from being the political wing of the IRA and now actual campaign on things people care about. Current polls put them at 33%, FF and FG both at around 20. One big thing SF campaigns on is the housing crisis. I now live in this country for 19 years and I have seen government after government do absolutely nothing about it. The town I live in proudly announced that 40 new housing units have been given planning permission. That's fantastic, just that low estimates say that 250 are needed and those 40 will be snapped up by large real estate companies and rented out at prices that are so sky high you get nosebleeds. I have a full-time job that pays decent money and I share an apartment because it's either that and have some sort of life or live by myself and have virtually no disposable income once rent, bills and necessities are paid. If I could vote, SF it would be for me, too.
Kay Burley is thick pure and simple. I used to think she was one of the better media journalists but not any more. In my opinion she has shown her self up to many times. Hell she can even call the Ukrainian capital by its correct name ffs
She's a shill. She's playing dumb.

She's always talked down her nose at people and bullied their views with supercilious disdain, faux or otherwise. Disingenuous at best.
Very well said, Mary Lou MacDonald.
wowee..a real politician!!!!
Put this into perspective. Between 1980 and 2010, there have been 78 ethno-religious conflicts around the world. 20 of them reached power sharing agreements, but 11 of them fell through, with the worst consequenses being the Rwandan Genocide. Of the other 9 that held, only 4 managed to build a lasting peace. Now, while each peace process is different, none can stand without a strong foundation in democracy
Ms. Burly embarrassing herself as most of the British do when it comes to Ireland. No interviewer she interview without knowledge of their subject. Mary Lou, great interview as usual.
Brexit is not all bad news for Ireland. €200 billion worth of finance industry has left London and came to Dublin.

HOPE IRELAND REUNITES AS SOON AS POSSIBLE....🙏🙏🙏
We Irish thank you for your support my friend
Anybody who has actually read the text of the GFA will be familiar with the very first strand, called the "Declaration of Support". This addresses the commitments made by both the Irish and British governments to uphold and stand guarantor over all the procedures, new institutions and joint initiatives that the GFA set up - basically a joint promise that neither side would ever do anything to jeopardize these in any way, at least in unilateral form.
It is broken into chapters, Chapter 5 of which states:
" We pledge that we will, in good faith, work to ensure the success of each and every
one of the arrangements to be established under this agreement. It is
accepted that all of the institutional and constitutional arrangements - an
Assembly in Northern Ireland, a North/South Ministerial Council,
implementation bodies, a British-Irish Council and a British-Irish
Intergovernmental Conference and any amendments to British Acts of
Parliament and the Constitution of Ireland - are interlocking and
interdependent and that in particular the functioning of the Assembly and
the North/South Council are so closely inter-related that the success of
each depends on that of the other."
Note the bit where the UK acknowledged that the Irish constitution and its own body of Parliamentary Acts would henceforth remain in "lock-step", which now by international treaty must take priority if and when any issue arose which might otherwise threaten the implementation or function of the named institutions. The Irish duly amended their own constitution to bring it into lock-step, just as the UK passed the GFA into domestic law. And, according to the GFA, this was now to become a legally enforced status quo - with no side unilaterally taking any threatening constitutional initiative without at least ensuring that the other side agreed and did likewise.
Now, ask yourself what was Brexit if not a radical and fundamental constitutional change within the UK that could only ever be interpreted as a direct reneging on the commitment made above? Where was the attempt even to request that the Irish also implement the same constitutional change (ie. leave the EU as well and at the same time) that would be required to maintain this lock-step? In fact where was the commitment even to maintaining the new constitutional status quo particular to Northern Ireland as also promised? The huge constitutional revision that was Brexit included NI too, whether NI wanted it or not.
To my mind, even before the UK's threat to trash the Withdrawal Agreement in breach of international law, the very moment it passed a Parliamentary Act allowing the invocation of Article 50, the "EU resignation letter", was itself such a breach. In fact an even more egregious breach than the one that has grabbed the headlines more recently.
Diplomatically, Ireland chose not to pursue this breach - pursual alone would also threaten peace in NI. The British knew this would stay the other's hand so simply saw this as a green light to proceed. Whatever levels of ignorance may or may not prevail within British media, the fact that not a single voice in any quarter of British media, journalism, commentary or indeed politics has ever been heard to point out this overtly criminal betrayal - at least to me - speaks volumes about the British as a people. There is no evidence indeed that they even understand the criminality involved.
They are not criminals through intent, one is left to deduce. They are criminals by nature.
Wow, 💯 %👍
James O'Brien and others are perpetually pointing this out on their shows. The Daily comics lie for the Tories and the BBC is neutered through fear.
Half the borders in the world have been abandoned by the British for the peoples to suffer
Some great points until the end where I have to take very serious issue with you. I understand your anger and frustration but Britain cannot be alone in having a population so turned off by politics that they barely understand even the easy topics, never mind such a difficult one as this. Derogatory remarks about a whole group of people is bigotry.
Well no. What was stated was,
"..and any amendments to British Acts of Parliament and the Constitution of Ireland - are interlocking and interdependent.."
Which refers to,
"As part of the agreement, the British parliament repealed the Government of Ireland Act 1920 (which had established Northern Ireland, partitioned Ireland and asserted a territorial claim over all of Ireland) and the people of the Republic of Ireland amended Articles 2 and 3 of the Constitution of Ireland, which asserted a territorial claim over Northern Ireland."
Both of which were dependent on the others implementation. Nothing about keeping each others future legislation in as you call it "lock step" was ever intended as it was only related to the above amendments.
Burley is just one of Murdoch's sock puppets.
Well there certainly doesn’t seem to be much change since he divested, that’s for sure. You know he’s 91? Hopefully there’ll be an opportunity to break out the Champagne in the not too distant future🥂
Well said mary Lou
The level and intelligence of the Sinn Fein discourse is way above current and past U.K. gvt
No, Max, the Brit commentator’s problem is not having little knowledge (which is true) but no real interest in “details“ that might disturb their views.
They want to sell a specific ideology and ignore everything that might question it.
And this specific commentator is at the forefront of this attitude. Actually she is a politician guised as a commentator.
Interesting video. Well done getting her point across, Mary Lou McDonald. Things to add. Sinn Fein are the largest party in the NI government. Sky News and BBC News presenters are under strict instructions to toe the hard Brexit line - all in the name of representing the people of course. The Tories are so vehemently opposed to Sinn Fein that I would contend that the peace process was stalled under John Major's premiership. It was the hard work of American politicians and the election of Tony Blair that enabled the Good Friday Agreement to get over the line. It is also pressure from America that is largely responsible for the Tories failing so far to wreck it.
Sinn Fein could become the largest party in the Republic at the next election.
100 %💪🏻
Kay Burley knows how NI voted but chooses to ignore it.
Maybe because It was a nationwide vote, and not a regional one.
@@pam-gw6uk In the run-up to the 2014 referendum on Scottish independence, the Better Together campaign (the ruling Tories and Labour) peddled the line that independence would mean that Scotland would be outside the EU. That ploy led to Scotland taking a ‘regional’ view of the 2016 Brexit referendum.
@@pam-gw6uk Burley did say 'Northern Ireland voted not to be part of the European Union any more' in that disdainful supercilious and bitchy manner she's adopted. Asking for a slap, and got it.
@@clarecrawford9677 I believe the Scots would still vote against Independence, all irrelevant now, as that ship has sailed.

Of all of the parties in Northern Ireland, the DUP were the only ones that campaigned and voted for Brexit.

Sorry Gerard, but people before profit, and the TUV all campaigned for Brexit. Although I think the PBP belatedly realised the motivations of the bigots and have been very quiet re Brexit since the referendum.
@@liamm.1431 PBP were following the hard left in the UK, then realised nobody except the loonies in the TUV and DUP agreed with them, so they shut up about the whole thing.

When she said NI voted to leave I screemed
It's pretty baffling to me, as someone that generally does not watch those types of tv shows but know of Kay Burley, how mis-informed or wilfully ignorant she could be going into an interview with McDonald.
Burley surely must know NI (and Scotland) voted to remain, there must be researchers for the show. It would be comical if the subject matter has not become more volatile there than it has been for years >
@@benwu7980 It was a UK vote to leave or remain, not a North of Ireland vote to leave or remain, since the North of Ireland is part of the UK then we have to accept the result of the UK vote. The problem comes from the fact there were more people in the north of Ireland voted to remain than voted to leave. Since this suits Sinn Fein's agenda then that is what they preach.
A very good summary, Max. Quite a few of us who understood the situation metaphorically shouted ourselves hoarse to no avail and so now we are where we are. As you say the DUP were hoping the the Brexit vote would sabotage the GFA despite the damage that would do to Northern Ireland's fragile economy which they continue to do by refusing to share in the government. I think we all know the real reason.
Absolutely true. The Seventeenth Century Monster Raving Loony Party would rather that there was blood running down the gutters of Northern Ireland than that there should be peace and prosperity anywhere in Ireland. In England the Brexit vote was all about tax-dodgers, in Northern Ireland it was all about turning the clock back to the Battle of the Boyne.
If we were to respect the wishes of the various countries that make up this 'United' Kingdom then Scotland should be treated the same as NI and the border would also be between Gretna and Berwick. Give little England and unfortunate Wales all the time they need to contemplate their decision.
Great video max, thanks for sharing, I think we may have seen the next Taoiseach of Ireland, for those who don't know or what the Taoiseach stands for, it's irelands prime minister, 🍀🍀🍀
It is refreshing to see a politician telling the truth.
Today it should be bank holiday 🎉
Burly get your facts right.
Scotland's vote to stay also got subsumed by England's will to leave.
And London's (72%) and Liverpool's and Manchester's and Leeds' and Birminghams. Blame it on the shires!

@@mikewa2
They are in opposition to the government. Doesn't mean they have to automatically oppose everything. If the government decided to implement policies Labour agreed with I would be very disappointed if they opposed them just because they felt they should. The fact that Brexit wasn't government policy and was put to a referendum also doesn't help.
Mary Lou McDonald is a top caliber politician. If only we had a few like her.
Burley repeatedly saying, "Go on", just to make the listeners aware she is still there and in charge. Nothing to contribute, nothing to give, no conscience at all over her script having nothing but lies on it.

It was enlightening to see Kay Burleys attitude in this interview compared to her attitude when interviewing the leader of the nurses union earlier .She allowed one to explain her position without interruption and without a hidden agenda on Burleys part whilst she interrupted the other and pushed the government's agenda .In neither interview was she up to speed with all of the facts .I leave you to work out which was which .

Big Maj does great stuff on Northern Ireland.
Let us never forget that this is all David Cameron’s mess. We know he had no spine to stand up the the loons, but had that fool just put in place reasonable conditions for the referendum, like a majority of nations in the union must vote to leave, or setting the threshold at 60% and not 50%+1 this could have prevented all this stupidity.
Exactly
Irish reunification is inevitable. Let's aim for 2024.
Irish reunification will never happen, and that's why the EU allowed people from the UK living in the north of Ireland free access to the EU market, as distinct from UK people living on the mainland, all to stop the mass exodus out of the Union and back to Unification, Bushmills Irish Whiskey, with an address in the UK, what a joke, they trade on Irelands good name and pay their taxes to the UK.............
Won't happen next year. I'd say 2028 or 2030. But we need a United Ireland forum or citizens assembly first to discuss it
Much too soon. We don't want to rush it and have it end up just like Brexit, all talk and idealogy with nothing in reality to back it up. We need plans to integrate NI into the larger Ireland without kicking off more violence. It can't be Ireland just annexing NI as a part of it. It was Britain doing exactly that which caused all the problems in the first place.
@@Subjagator exactly. That's what needs to happen. A United Ireland isn't a matter of if but when. Unfortunately this Irish government is very lackadaisical and won't set the ground work. More than likely Sinn fein will be in power next election and they're more determined to get the ball rolling.
@@Subjagatorspecifically it was Tories with their big first past the post majority that allowed Brexshit ultras to ignore the nearly half of the Referendum vote going to Remainers, and big Remain majorities in Northern Ireland and Scotland to go ahead and run roughshod over this almost even split and pursue the hardest possible Brexit anyway. And the result has been what we’ve seen ever since and just how well that worked out. So yes indeed we need advanced preparation and consultation with all the communities in the north. And a significant majority percentage in favour in the referendum, the number agreed in advance. Brexit offered a very helpful blueprint about how to get things done peacefully, with everyone on board with the result.
I have one correction for Mary Lou McDonald in what she said, Britain did not vote to leave the EU, Scotland voted 61% (if I remember correctly) to stay in the EU.
It was England and Wales that voted to leave.
Other than that, I agreed with what she said. 🏴
Agreed.

Irish 'unity' is going to be even worse to that peace process.
It is not unification, it is annexation.
If the DUP LOVE England so MUCH, why don't they LIVE in it !!!. Only solution unit Ireland make it one country for the GOOD of ALL. United Ireland is the ONLY way to really solve this Problem.
And the name of the next Tory leader is Gerry Mander.
😂👍
my god its Kay Bubba Gump Burley the least credible journalist to ever exist
Let's face it Kay Burly has a poor understanding of most things. She is not the brightest star in TV reporting circles.
Unfortunately these days much of the voting public in first world countries has absolutely no clue about history (even recent history) politics or current affairs. Many who voted for Brexit voted for an idea: "taking back control" ...which is a nice idea but never made any practical sense.
Facing up to the realities of living in a large common economic area, being informed about the benefits and pitfalls of said system and taking an active part in trying to make it work better proved to be too much. Unsurprisingly, the same people who couldn't face reality before can't face the consequences of their vote to leave now. As Trump used to say: SAD.
But Liz Truss told a US audience that Brexit would have no impact in Ireland because it would only affect a few farmers with turnips in the back of their truck...
That says it all.🚜😢
Hi S B, I see Ireland's future are hosting an event in the US.
@@roisinmalone3015 that's good, talking is needed but according to recent polls (on Royal Irish Academy and the Irish Times: North and South methodology) the support for a united Ireland isn't there yet. If SF were thinking of pushing for a border poll it would be premature. Also I remember when the NAMA business was going on a few years back a SF chairman of the inquiry into payments of £7m moved to the Isle of Man as a payoff to a NI politician had to resign after he was linked to the coaching of Jamie Bryson on how to testify on the involvement of DUP MP Peter Robinson! DUP are up to their necks in dodgy business (typical Tories) and fleecing the taxpayer out of as much as they can but really I don't trust SF either
@@sb8163
No, I don't trust Sinn Féin. I think a Fianna Fáil (without Micheál Martin) Sinn Féin coalition would be the best result re a government next election.
S B, we can't have a FF FG coalition government forever, it's very bad news to always have the same parties in power. They lose touch, become arrogant and I am concerned that the consistently awful policies re housing in Ireland is driving young people out of Ireland.
@@roisinmalone3015 I used to vote independent or green party but I will never again vote Greens after Roderick O'Gorman tweeted in Albanian, Arabic, Urdu, Georgian, and Somali that asylum seekers would get own door accommodation and health services in Ireland within 4 months, and now asylum seekers are having to sleep on the streets and refugees are being shunted from pillar to post to make way for people who have destroyed their documents en route to Ireland so they are clearly not genuine refugees but are taking the places needed by refugees from Ukraine etc. There were groups of young Albanian and Georgian men stabbing each other in a hotel. Meanwhile young highly educated Irish people are leaving to live elsewhere because they can't afford to live in Ireland. I have nieces, nephews, and cousins all leaving. I don't agree with protesting at asylum centres, people should be protesting outside the Dail. I'm disgusted with this government. I don't think FFG will get elected again because they are driving people to vote SF.
Is Burley still in the job.
Beggars belief that an interviewer could commit such a howler. in the, in/out situation with protocol . innit.
A United Ireland is inevitable. No question about it. Same is true about Scotland and now Wales has Bregret also. The Cornish are tge last ones out of the woods. Fish 'n chips anyone?
There was no mention of Northern Ireland peace process because Brexit was sold as future trading being the same as before.
Brexit was never going to be a clever idea, hence for 'democratic' reasons it needed to be done with a damage limitation attitude; but the Tories were totally incompetant, arrogant and reckless in the management of UK's exit from the EU.
concerns as with many other concerns with Brexit were dismissed as Project Fear which appears to be the only project that has delivered what was promised.
Was there any other way to 'manage' BrExit ?
@@korolev-musictodriveby6583 Honesty and the truth will always be a good starting point. A swing 1.5% would of given a remain vote.
Par for the course, where Tories are concerned.
"Unfortunately, the arsonists are still in charge." No better summary of the Tory government than this. 👏👏👏
“The arsonists are still in charge” - wonderful quote Max
The US will not allow the UK Government to mess with the island of Ireland.
There will be no trade agreement between US and UK until the UK Government comes to its senses.
Au contraire ✨
And screwed Scotland too , ohh it's englasis sovereignty
That was the dups wet dream a hard border on the island of ireland
The consequences of Brexit for Northern Ireland and the Good Friday Agreement is criminal negligence. It just proves that all the time Brexit was never about the UK, it was about England, and the fantasies and interests of English politicians. It's frightening how little people know about the situation regarding the island of Ireland and the responsibility we all have to keeping the peace. As someone from England I'm tired of NI, Scotland, and Wales being treated time and time again as second class members. It's a moral obligation to sort out this mess, my personal fix would be to rejoin the EU since it's the only sane option, but failing that a customs union.
I blame Cameron for this mess ironically he went to Eaton so I’ll dub it an Eton Mess
Kay Burley is a doctor's receptionist in the wrong job.
How patronising! What has a doctor’s receptionist ever done to you?
I think you underestimate "a doctors receptionist".As a gp myself we all (the staff) act as a team.Take my word they are brilliant people and many a patient owes their pives to these people because If you ever have to ring your gp with a chest pain or a seriously ill child ,remember ,it will be the "doctors receptionist " who will answer the call
When Reality and Truth meets Unicorns!
Mary Lou is the leader Ireland badly needs.
Well Said Mary Lou you told Kate what the real situation in the Island of Ireland 🇮🇪☘️💚☘️🌹 is all about.Thank you.
Kay Burly useless.
WTF is going on with kay burly, saying NI voted for Brexit when NI voted against it?!!
Why is she saying that? Is she a Brexiter trying to rewrite history? Or just exceptionally bad at her job?
There is no agreement re Gibraltar either.
Burley is a pawn she's not really a reporter!
All 4 countries that make up the union should have all voted to leave, they didn’t only 2 out of 4 did so there should have been no brexit, simply brexit is an english wish, this can be seen in Wales were english retirees carried the vote into leave.
As usual Westminster politicians thought that Britain extended about as far as the Tube's reach. And therefore ignored any regional impact of Brexit.
Woah there Oscar - 72% of Londoners voted Remain. As did all major cities. It's the shires you need to shift the blame towards.
Stand firm Europe and Ireland, you leave you created a border. Tories. Tory Kay and Tory jo you have to learn
Only one solution to this problem is a united Ireland
I am Manx, so cannot vote in either England or Ireland, but of Irish descent. I hope I live long enough to see Ireland united again. If I do, I want to be in Dublin on the day, to cheer and represent my family, the McGraths. Fingers crossed.
I think the Republic should join Schengen. 😄 yeah, I know.
😀
That would require a border on the island which can’t happen re the GFA.
I saw a program on French TV, many Afghans are now heading to Cherbourg to hang on under trucks and take a "Brexit Buster".
@@killerfunghoul3948 could if we cut NI into republic
I've been to the two Ireland's. IMO the North has always been treated as a backwater and second rate by the English, with the same old plantation mentality.
There’s an obvious reason for the collective
failure to misunderstand: Abject and profound racism.
That is just poor journalism.
I hate to say it but Mary Lou is right arghh!!
😠 Why is that?
@@sirmeowthelibrarycat Listen to the video, she’s right.
Why say that???
The "British" government has never worried or cared about the six counties. Westminster would leave the six counties in the morning if it could find a face saving way to do so...
Seven years in, and they still haven't wrapped their heads around it. Has the BoJo Clown Show been such a distraction?
That was part of the plan, yes. Just imploded sooner than expected.
Kay Burley being informed on this issue is well below her pay grade.
When it comes to be in charge there is still a lot of "arson around". From a personal perspective, I did not, in my younger days, entirely understand what the whole NI thing was. You can imagine that an English education tended to gloss over things if they mentioned it at all. For most of us then it seemed to be a religious disagreement, protestants vs catholics. So its been necessary to learn from elsewhere to get the issues straight in my head. And lots of things have moved on in 25 years. I'm guessing Kay Burley may not have been down that path. I'd also guess that there are still many in England and Westminster in particular who still dont get it ...and for people wrapped up their Brexit, dont care. Need to treat anything from Westminster with some caution.
Good for you on educating your self on the matter 👍 I only wish people who do likewise. On this matter and many others. It is becoming more apparent that you can not trust the media to do so
@@michaelshanahan4042 I had to study Home Rule (Gladstone) when I was a student and that catalysed my interest in Irish politics and history.
Much much bigger than just religion. Civil rights movement took off here in Derry ✊
Good for Mary Lou McDonald to call BS on Key Burley's pro-Tory lie that NI voted to leave the EU: NI voted not to leave as did Scotland. But the Tories only having allegiance to their wealthy donors who feared EU anti-corruption policies and wanted to ditch pro-worker rights laws by leaving the EU forced this on NI and Scotland!
Mary lou is a class act knows her brief. Why is English reporting on this matter abysmally ignorant They either don't care lazy or both
Kay Burley is making the argument that because it was a UK referendum that NI have voted for it by default, even though we didn't
