@@nathanielbugg7355 You clearly aren't well versed in Irish history. Ireland was England's first colony, and after England conquered Ireland in the 1600s the Penal Laws were implemented which took the right for Catholics to own land. This was done to take power from the Irish -- indigenous people of the island -- so England could populate the island with British and replace Irish culture with British culture. Why do you think the vast majority of the Irish speak english as a first language today? The point is Ireland was colonized by the British and in a sense the UK still occupies Northern Ireland. The "British" don't have to go, the point is they are living in Ireland, they should not oppress the Irish language and Irish culture.

@@nathanielbugg7355 wow, for a long paragraph I can't believe you got so much wrong. The Irish did have a king, the Ard Rí (High King). Not only that, each province of Ireland had their own leaders, which were known as kings (Rí), but pledged allegiance to the High King. This was relatively similar to the feudal system present in the rest of Europe. The gaelic society was very advanced, same as any, with complex laws (including far more rights for women then the common law of England gave them). The colonisation efforts are historically known as the plantations. The most successful one, of Ulster, took place after a failed rebellion almost freed the entirety of Ireland from British rule. After its failure, the Irish leaders O'Neill and O'Donnell fled to Spain, in what was known as "the flight of the Earls". As Ulster had been the county leading the rebellion, Queen Elizabeth of England decided to remove the power base. They confiscated Irish land and gave this land to Protestant English and Scottish settlers in an effort to wipe out the Irish culture and people in Ulster, making them "British" and thus ensuring they won't rebel. The Irish people who's land they stole occasionally fought back and killed the settlers, while although that was relatively rare, bred distrust and fear. (This fear and distrust still exists today to a degree) Rebellions in Ireland didn't stop of course, which led to the Cromwellian genocide, in which Cromwell killed an estimated 41% of the Irish population and sold 100,000s into indentured servitude in the Carribean, almost none of which returned. This genocide was followed by oppressive penal laws on catholics, which preventing them from attending school, voting, owning property beyond a certain price and treating them like second class citizens. Actually, Ireland used to have one of the highest literacy rates for Greek and Roman before the penal laws of any European country. (There was a good few more rebellions in the period from Cromwell to the successful one, beginning in 1916) The penal laws created a new aristocracy of British, generally absentee landlords. Trends continued whereby the catholic majority owned less and less of the land they were living on. By the end of this system, at the time of the Land Wars in Ireland in the 1870s, only 3% of Irish farmers actually owned their own land; the other 97% were tenants of British landlords. These landlords of course were most focused on creating more wealth for themselves, leading them to use much of their land for cattle rearing and other lucrative sales at the time. Now, this took up a lot of land, which meant that the tenant farmers had basically none of their own. The abject poverty the Irish at the time (the 1800s now) is also important mention. “Now I have seen Ireland, it seems to me that the poorest among the Letts, the Estonians and the Finlanders lead a life of comparative luxury.” (Kohl, a German visitor to Ireland in the early C19th) "There never was a country in which poverty existed to the extent that it exists in Ireland.”-the Duke of Wellington Poverty in Ireland was so bad that when Gladstone wrote to Naples to complain about the state of their prisons, they responded by saying that Ireland, outside of prisons, was so much worse and he had no ability to complain therefore. This poverty and lack of land forced subsistence onto the only crop that could support Irish families on such small plots that they had: the potato. Now, living on just one crop alone isn't a good idea, but obviously the Irish had no choice, it was that or starvation. When the blight came, starvation came anyway. The majority of the Irish population, poor tenant farmers, suddenly lost their only source of food. At this time, Ireland was exporting enough food to feed everyone in Ireland many times over, but the British government refused to stop exports. They also provided little to no public aid, with most soup kitchens actually created by independent organisations such as the Quakers. The landlords, with their rents no longer being met, starting mass evictions of the starving families, peaking in 1847 (the worst year of the famine). Again, the British government refused to act. In fact, the man in charge of aid programs, Charles Trevellyan, was famously racist to Irish people, saying: “The real evil with which we have to contend is not the physical evil of the Famine but the moral evil of the selfish, perverse and turbulent character of the [irish] people.” Finally, the British government gave aid, with a very important caveat: no irish person was eligible for aid if they owned or occupied more then 1/4 of an acre of land. This was a massive win for the landlords, but meant that the farmers who had to give up their land now had no way to survive in the future. All in all, over a million Irish people died in the famine, a million emigrated, causing the population of Ireland to drop by 20-25%. There's still an ongoing debate in Irish history whether or not this Famine constitues a genocide. So yes, Ireland was most definitely a colony, and yes, England committed atrocities to wipe out the Irish population in history. Same as so many other countries

@Carrjimbo6 жыл бұрын
First of all Ireland has committed to no hard border and has said it would not put in place the necessary infrastructure, which the UK government has also said they would not do. Leaving this in a bit of a difficult situation of if there is going to be a hard boarder (which no one wants) who is actually going to build it. The Uk said it won't as did Ireland and the EU has no means of putting it in place itself. Now presuming someone is in a position to build it you then can look at solution like that provided by the WTO under Art 24 of the GATT, how implementing a seamless boarder immediately (10 year interim agreement) and negotiating its permanent presence (if the time its taking to negotiate this is your problem then i suggest you find alternative interest to international law and politics negotiation and slow negotiation is how things work unfortunately) is a bad thing, you will have to explain as it solve the issue that is central to this problem in that there would be no hard boarder. In regards to the hardline Brexit view pretty much all the major Brexit players including Farage, Johnson et al have all said they do not want a hard boarder with ireland and are happy to see the necessary agreements in place that allow for frictionless trade and movement of people over it. In fact Frage has even been advocating for a special agreement for Ireland if the rest of the EU can reach one that would ensure none of these problems are issues in the future. In regards to Immigrant ireland has a CTA with the UK that existed before the EU ever even existed and no-one not even the hardest of Breiters have advocated its removal. In regards to other immigrants Ireland is not a member of Shengan so it can control and record those that come in an out. Plus immigrants from Europe that have free movement to Ireland I can assure have zero interest in moving to NI for work purposes and if they do go to NI they would still have to cross from NI into the rest of the UK allowing the UK authorities to prevent entrance hence solving the movement problem.

It is worth mentioning that the only reason that there's a protestant majority in the north is because of a conscious effort by the British to colonize the north with huge numbers of Scottish protestant settlers, thereby removing innumerable native Irish from their homes and land. It was the descendants of those Scottish settlers who remained loyal to the Crown throughout the 20th century, not the native Irish. Sure, that goes back to the 16th century, but it was a problem that was intentionally and deliberately introduced to the island of Ireland by the very idiots who are now attempting to once again rip the island in half.

The thing about history is that it is such a large topic that you can’t do everything in detail, there simply isn’t time. The only way you could was if you spent each history lesson giving yourself a crash course in that part of history, but your knowledge in each topic would be very shallow. For example, where I live in the uk, history is very Eurocentric. I’ve heard that American education is very America centric, and I’m sure that’s the case all over the world. In my history classes we barley touched Asia. For example the only time China was ever mentioned was during my WW2 history classes where we simply learnt that japan attacked China in 1937, and that an argument could be made that WW2 started then and not in 1939.

Suprisingly, the little englanders who voted to leave don't even know we exist.

It's already been addressed. Britain will keep it, Spain will keep buzzing British ships and making provocative statements so Spain's right wing populist parties can fearmonger to stay in government, and the EU won't try to separate and keep Gibraltar any more than they'd try to separate and keep Yorkshire. Ultimately, Spain can do nothing. They constantly threaten to veto whatever the latest Brexit-related thing is, but they haven't done it yet and won't try anytime soon because they owe a gazillion dollars to the ECB that they have no intention of ever paying back, and can't afford to risk getting Brussels mad at them. Spain is basically being given an unlimited free money spigot by the EU in exchange for not turning their Brexit-complicating words to action over Gibraltar, on the condition that if they ever excercise a veto or sink British ships, they'll spend the next 200 years paying all of it back. So far, the plan seems to be working, Spain for all their empty drama has toed the EU line without fail.

Ella O'Brien It’s a pretty common stereotype (and a fact as well to be honest) that it was older people who mainly voted for Brexit. The Good Friday agreement that ended The Troubles was signed in 1998. Most people who voted for Brexit would have therefore remembered the tube bombings, killing of Lord Mountbatten and everything else that came with The Troubles. They obviously know of the conflict and therefore probably know somewhat of its origins. I think you are trying to say they didn’t think enough of the issue before voting to leave. Also why should people in the UK learn about a random country with a 16th of its population? We aren’t even taught of matters like our own unification. We have more useful and important things to learn about.

Firstly, It was not the view of the IRA that the north was part of Ireland, it was the view of the Republic of Ireland too. The tensions did not rise because of border, but because Irish nationalists were treated woefully. The Republic of Ireland gave up this claim on the north as part of the Good Friday agreement. What did the UK have to give up? to promise not to put up a border and to allow them an equal vote. So if the UK wants to throw the GFA in the bin, then Ireland reinstates its claim that the north is part of the Republic part of the EU and the UK is a foreign army inside the EU, this stance was backed up by the EU who said they would wholly and totally accept this. You simply cant trust the UK, Ireland gave up total claim to the land and UK just had to do what they were already doing, not build a border, now they are tested they cant honour their end.

That’s a provocative thing to say, but its not the whole truth. I think Britain would of been happy to get out of Ulster years ago. Britain was worried that another civil war in Ireland could spread across the Island, into Scotland and the UK. We must be heal the wounds between the Catholic and Protestant communities. We must unite communities BEFORE we unite the Island.

Couple of points: 1: A lot of people have the idea that the border was to separate catholics from protestants. In fact Britain drew the border so as to maximize the area under British control subject to a (slim) protestant majority. 2: Protestants are concentrated in the area around Belfast. The border region is overwhelmingly catholic. Now try bringing up the border in Google maps and zooming in. It's a mess! If it was a straight line it would be less than 100 miles long, but it is over 310 miles long because of the insane way it loops around and doubles back on itself. 3: As a consequence of #2, if the border is closed or militarized it overwhelmingly hurts the catholic population who live along it. Farmers have their houses cut off from their farms, people who live just outside a village are cut off from it and have to travel long distances to buy groceries, etc. There are some places where you can travel 5 miles down a road and cross the border a dozen times. 4: It's not just about the border. Because of EU membership, Britain was forced by the European Court of Justice to grant civil rights to catholics and to incorporate the court's rulings into its laws, and this went a long way towards making peace possible. When Britain leaves the EU, a whole framework of human rights is swept away overnight. 5: Some people say reunification is inevitable because catholics are "outbreeding" protestants. First, this is a very insulting stereotypes and only stokes fear and hatred among protestant extremists. Secondly, the reason reunification is inevitable is that young protestants are more secular and less fanatical than their parents. They've been brought up to believe that the Republic is a backward papist cesspit, but when they look across the border they see a modern, progressive and diverse country, unlike the time-warped one-party and one-religion state the DUP (protestant extremist party) wants to perpetuate, with its ban on abortion, gay marriage etc. And even some of the older generation of protestants are waking up and realizing that London never cared about them, it was just playing the "Orange card" and Brexit is more important to it than maintaining the union.

What about the will of the northern irish majority?

Askar? Sekurang-kurangnya akan ada sempadan khusus. " 04:45 Pada bulan Jun 2016, UK memilih untuk meninggalkan EU, walaupun Ireland Utara sangat luar biasa 04:50 memihak kepada baki. 04:53 Hujah Inggeris yang menyokong Brexit adalah untuk mengawal sempadan nasionalnya sendiri - tetapi 04:57 tidak banyak disebut mengenai sempadan Irelandnya pada masa itu. 05:00 Itu berubah ketika UK dan EU memulakan rundingan - status sempadan Ireland menjadi satu 05:05 daripada tiga perkara pertama yang perlu difikirkan. 05:07 Sekarang, lebih dari setahun kemudian, ia masih belum dapat diselesaikan. 05:10 Tetapi ada beberapa pilihan: Inggeris dapat menerapkan kembali perbatasan keras dengan membawa 05:15 kembali polis dan tembok. 05:16 Tetapi itu akan mengasingkan populasi Nasionalis di Ireland Utara. 05:22 Sebagai alternatif, mereka boleh meletakkan perbatasan di sini, meninggalkan Ireland Utara di Kesatuan Kastam EU, 05:26 tetapi memisahkannya dari tanah besar Inggeris. 05:29 Tetapi ini akan mengkhianati golongan Unionis. 05:31 Lihat, sama ada, kedua-dua pilihan ini berisiko melanggar Perjanjian Good Friday. 05:35 Pilihan ketiga adalah untuk Inggeris tinggal di Kesatuan Kastam EU yang bermaksud tidak memerlukannya 05:40 sempadan kastam, tetapi itu tidak dapat diterima untuk Brexiters dalam kerajaan UK, yang secara khusus 05:45 mahukan kawalan ke atas sempadan mereka sendiri. 05:48 Inggeris perlu meletakkan sempadan di suatu tempat tetapi tidak dapat memutuskan di mana. 05:54 "Mengenai perbatasan antara Ireland Utara dan Ireland, 05:57 kita tidak akan kembali ke perbatasan keras antara Ireland Utara 05:59 dan Ireland ”. 06:00 "Tetapi cadangan bahawa harus ada perbatasan di bawah Laut Irlandia, 06:03 memisahkan Ireland Utara dari yang lain 06:05 United Kingdom sama sekali tidak dapat diterima. " 06:08 "Kami tidak akan bergabung dalam serikat kastam, kami tidak akan 06:10 berada di Kesatuan Kastam, kerana jika kita berada, itu akan menghalang kita 06:15 daripada dapat mengikuti dasar perdagangan bebas. " 06:18 Sekarang, ada pilihan keempat yang sesuai dengan Perjanjian Good Friday - itu 06:22 idea penyatuan semula. 06:24 Pada masa lalu ketika Ireland dan UK berada di EU dan sempadannya terbuka; di sana 06:29 sedikit insentif bagi Ireland Utara untuk memilih untuk bersatu semula dengan Republik Ireland. 06:33 Tetapi jika Inggeris memilih pilihan sempadan keras, Ireland Utara akan terpencil 06:37 dan satu-satunya cara untuk bergabung semula dengan EU adalah melalui penyatuan semula. 06:41 Biasanya, ini akan menjadi kemenangan besar bagi Nasionalis dan kerugian bagi Unionists. 06:47 Tetapi Brexit nampaknya telah mengubah beberapa pendapat. 06:49 Satu tinjauan baru-baru ini mendapati bahawa 28% responden yang menyokong tempat Ireland Utara di 06:54 Inggeris sekarang akan memilih untuk bergabung dengan Republik Ireland. 06:59 Walaupun bukan penyelesaian yang sempurna, ia akan memberi suara kepada Ireland Utara mengenai tempatnya sendiri 07:02 di Eropah; suara yang hampir tidak pernah didengar setakat ini.

Cameron Smith why would we ever need to learn about that? I’m not gonna go for an interview and go “oh btw Britain had the biggest empire ever and took Hong Kong during the opium wars in the 1890s”. I know that, but I’ll never use it

Most of english history is colonisation, and in irelands case the suppression of a entire culture. A lot of it potrays england as "the bad guy" so i could see why there isnt any in depth explanation of british history in schools.

Pretty sure Gibraltar (who did overwhelming vote for remain) do want currently to stay in the UK. If a hard Brexit happens lets see how long that will last...
