Millions Could Again Face The Troubles If Northern Ireland Protocol Is Scrapped

Published

on



After Ireland broke free of British rule in 1921, it caused a divide between Catholics and Protestants in the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland. It sparked an explosive era of deadly political violence from the late 1960’s through the late 1990’s known as “The Troubles”. Northern Ireland was fraught with car bombs, riots and revenge killings. The conflict effectively ended with the signing of the Good Friday Agreement in 1998. But now, one move by the new British Prime Minister and history could repeat itself.

    Amazing video, A friend of mine referred me to a financial adviser sometime ago and we got talking about investment and money. I started investing with $120k and in the first 2 months , my portfolio was reading $274,800. Crazy right!, I decided to reinvest my profit and gets more interesting. For over a year we have been working together making consistent profit just bought my second home 2 weeks ago and care for my family.

    When talking about modern Ireland one thing that needs to be mentioned was how a Protestant Irish Parliament successfully gained independence for Ireland between 1782 and 1800, during which time Catholics got most of their rights back, with most Irish people of different faiths uniting under the ideologies of either constitutionalism or Republicanism, with both in favour of varying degrees of Irish sovereignty/autonomy and increased personal rights.

    This independence ended when a failed Republican Revolution in 1798 led British prime minister William Pitt to intimidate and bribe the Irish Parliament into merging the Kingdom Ireland into the UK after an initial Union vote failed. Ireland’s Parliament was forced to merge with The British one (though the courts and civil service of Ireland remained separate, but nominally subject to Westminster from now on).

    People on both sides seem to have completely forgotten this chapter in Irish history, because Protestants and Catholics fighting together for an independent Irish Kingdom doesn’t fit anyone’s narrative, and yet it had a major impact on the island. Unionism, Republicanism and Constitutionalism all originate from the original Irish volunteers that used the opportunity of the American Revolution distracting Britain to revolt in 1782. This heralded the independence and has shaped all aspects of Irish politics, ever since…

    Why the Americans must think Irish republicans are very sensitive and use violence for the littlest thing. I wonder where that idea came from 😂

    Let's mark Von der Leyen's card. If she comes into the office of the chief executive of our national sovereignty and attempts to subvert our sovereignty by imposing her constituency's domineering political agenda over our national life she should be shown the door. She should not be allowed to sit there and dictate how this negotiation shall turn out. She can think again. Also you Americans should be told in no uncertain terms.

  16. @matthewmcnerlin231

    December 29, 2023 at 11:41 pm

    Incorrect. NI is legally not a country. The troubles were about equality first, reunification second. You should note that the ‘border’ goes through peoples houses. Should also give some background that this happened for 800 years, the UK/GB attempted genocide, they essentially eradicated our culture, sent us across the world in coffin ships, forced us into servitude, treated us like animals inter alia.

    Thankfully the decedents of the foreigners that colonised here are now in the minority and that we moving fast to reunification

    Learn history archeology stop your propaganda and lies against Northern Ireland.. What do you silly ppl think happened in Republic of Ireland 26 county Catholic state even now in 2023.
    The protestant ppl left in roi had to live low key like Jewish ppl in Germany..no remembrance of ww2 troops killed allowed. Orange Ulster-Scots SURPRESSED even into 2023..USA caused verbally and war machinery..given to ira. Few skilled snipers from roi/usa much of the civil war of 40yrs.called troubles..
    NORTHERN IRELAND 6 counties. REPUBLIC OF IRELAND IS 26 COUNTY CATHOLIC STATE AND YOU REFER TO NORTHERN IRELAND THE COUNTY STATE AS PROTESTANT!!??.
    WE DESERVE TO LIVE IN PEACE WITH EU.. USA.. OR BRANCH OF IRA NOT INTERFERING IN OUR COUNTRY PEACEFULLY.

    WE HAVE ALWAYS BEEN MIXED HERITAGE OF MANY FAITHS MOSTLY CHRISTIAN SOME ROMAN CATHOLIC THAT COULD INCLUDE BEING MUSLIM. HINDU. JEWISH.. IF NOT RC IRISH FEEL WE HAVE NO RIGHT TO BE HERE.. MOST PPL JUST COUNT LAST 800/900YRS British have been Ireland under then same Kings n Queens. Only when queen/king were protestant did they hate it yet queen's dad was RC prior king.
    .
    PRIOR TO PARTATION OF IRELAND 1921/22 OVER 40 THOUSAND PPL OF PROTESTANT PPL WERE ETHNICALLY CLEANSED A VERY GOOD REASON TO DIVORCE… since then these socialist junta dictatorship who never held a kingdom with out waring with Irish on Irish talk of United.. Yet ethnically killed our police our army our citizens in NORTHERN Ireland for 40yrs whilst our westminister parliament bent over backwards to accomadate ira sinn fein.. The present ira sinn fein elected stormont not less than 15 have done time for terrorism. murders. bombings.
    ONE bomber hits USA its a war crime but full barrage onto NORTHERN IRELAND X 40YRS then enforced power share where one can't fart without speaking to the other.. TRY THAT ONE USA on every vote.. Ruins country..
    The main problem with NI AND indeed rest of UK and some EU countries is these poor ppl you say are downtrodden.. Poor wee rc.!!?? They are permitted own faith schools.. This in itself is sign of positive education but like Islamic. Sikh. Chinese kids Catholic kids then as generations before them only mix with parents rc
    With teacher rc
    With pal rc
    With church rc
    Extended family rc
    SO NEVER UNTIL ADULTHOOD MEET OR TALK WITH ANYONE OUTSIDE THEIR FAITH.
    BE THIS CATHOLIC.. ISLAMIC OR ANY FAITH GROUP UNDERSTANDING YOUR FELLOW MAN AND KNOWING HE'S POOR OR DISABLED OR STRUGGLING ALONG IN SAME COUNTRY NEVER ENTER THEIR HEAD..
    BAN ALL APHREID FAITH SCHOOLS

  22. @jamesvesta

    December 29, 2023 at 11:41 pm

    It's interesting to watch this, and think to myself, well, do I take his criticism of PM Truss as an indication that I will probably like her? Do I believe that although in globalist and domestic politics, this guy is a propagandist, that he might be able to talk about the dynamics of the Irish question? I tend to think that since he is detached personally from the Irish problems, that he might be credible in this particular case. Needless to say, listening to him is usually an exercise of listening to propaganda, and comparing his assertions to other sources. I will say thank you for addressing this topic. I hope this turns out that you are quite capable of talking about specific international relations without your typical bias.

    There is NO "Northern Ireland." There is simply, northern Ireland; just like there is a southern, western, or eastern Ireland. Soon, that artificial designation will be in the dustbin of history where it belongs.

    December 29, 2023 at 11:41 pm

    There will always be tension and unease in Northern Ireland. It comes with the territory of being a divided society. Divided because of Britains policy of colonise and segregate. Belfast is the only city on the island with a high wall, keeping communitys apart. What does that tell you? The Catholics will never, ever, allow themselves to be discriminated or treated as second class citizens again, in their own country. You can bet your lifes savings on that. To quote the 1916 leader, Patrick Pearse, "Beware of the risen people!"

    The British have been nothing but poison to Ireland over history and this legacy of Northern Ireland is its legacy.
