I can't help but notice that the Northern Irish accent has some similarities to those of the American South.
Many southerners are of Scots-Irish descent. Amazing that the connection is still there even after 300 years
I have noticed also
The accents are very alike and it's also a little known fact outside of the late Doctors north Antrim constituency, that although he had no lines to speak as such , the boy playing Banjo in the movie 'Deliverance' was himself not only from Ballymena, but was Paisley's love child by Iris Robinson.
Whatever your opinions about Paisley, you have to admit he was a damn good speaker.
He used clear precise language to great effect.
@Alan O Brien Hitler me arse
So was Hitler...
Hate the man, but wouldn't hesitate to agree. Liam Neeson who grew up a Catholic in Ballymena, used to sneak into his churches, because he loved listening to his sermons and claims it was Paisley who inspired him to take up acting.
He was, but it’s just a pity he spoke such bollocks
MRS BUNFIELD!
😂😂😂😂 ... I have made a legitimate request
Cheddar cheese and pineapple on a stick!
I should too very much care for cheese and pineapple on a stick!
A young Liam Neeson (a Catholic) used to sneak into his sermons and has said how he delivered his speeches helped inspire his acting. Whatever about his cause, as an orator he was unquestionably one of the most engaging ever on the island of Ireland.
you should have been a politian.
Paisley was a good orator alright but at the same time his rhetoric sent many young Loyalists to jail then he proceeded in washing his hands off them
People forget the dup it the political wing of loyalist terrorists
Absolute mad lad
@@Maxwell3773. the dissidents are still out there tho. Pity this old bastard ain't alive.
@@niladribiswas9130 shut up u hateful prick he was a good man
Niladri P Biswas blow him up ? The seemed to keep all their explosives for murdering children and unborn babies !
@@caleb4790 How was he a good man.....??? Explain that to me ...and no insults please ....
@@aviationiceman9549 The uda and uvf did plenty that ...dont be throwing stones when you live in a glass house
I know from people who lived in Paisley's constituency, whether you were Catholic or Protestant, he was there for you. Catholics there told me, as an MP, he was a fierce protector of ALL people. "You were his" as one Catholic man told me, and he made sure if he could help, he would.
I believe that was true. I also believe he was sincere in his beliefs; the problem was much of what he said was dangerously inflammatory and incited the very violence he said he wanted to avoid.
@DML1888 Yes, I knew John Hume personally. He was a friend of my grandfather who worked on the newspaper distribution service in Derry. John Hume attended my grandmother's funeral in 2005 as a mark of respect to my grandfather. I also knew Martin McGuinness, through his wife who used to run Ramsey's Cafe in William St. Martin would let me, when I was a kid, have drinks for free and the odd toasted ham sandwich. So, I am not coming from this from nowhere, I do know these people.
My mum a catholic said he helped
But he was a hate speaker who brought about the troubles no doubt
He was only there for catholics at the end of his life he like all the protestants at the time treated us like second class citizens and thus the troubles started
@@fionanmurphy4107 As a member of the Church of England it still amazes me the anti Catholic nonsense from protestants in Northern Ireland. I can never get my head around it.
Watching this guy on the hustings is like a master-class in campaigning
William Ulsterman
Mrs Bunfield!!!
I have made a legitimate and peaceful request 😂
“ for hundreds of years my community has enjoyed cheddar cheese and pineapple on a stick”
IKR...CROCODILE TEARS! PINEAPPLE AND CHEDDAR CHEESE ON A STICK...legitimate request!
From England, I say that Northern Ireland is the most important part of the United Kingdom because if the United Kingdom does not protect Northern Ireland then the United Kingdom is worth nothing and Northern Ireland will always be protected in the United Kingdom.
But protected from what? There would not be a pogrom. Ireland is now a very different , very secular nation, part of the EU that Northern Ireland voted (just) to remain part of.
England wants shot of Northern Ireland if you cant see that ..well...
You still sure about that pix?
The UK is literally the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, it would just be called GB if Northern Ireland left.
About 75% of the British people don't care or don't want it
As an Irish Republican I must say I'm fascinated by this man.
He seems less like the prik he was
MR Paisley, did many kind gestures for all, RIP
@02june80 Because they had the backing of the British state...
@02june80 lol……
Buying up the ice creams for the lads.
Of course, back then you were allowed to do that if you were an MP or candidate. Nowadays that would be considered "treating".
Never been replaced was very brave to take the leap with sinn Fein i.r.a. to broker peace and a better future for northern Ireland a loyal man to the sovereign and should never be forgotten
Forgotten by the majority on island of ireland and is only remembered as the NO SURRENDER guy
@@fionanmurphy4107 that's easily disproved by the amount of seething republicans like yourself that comment on all the Paisley videos
@@Krass.EstrangedI'm not seething about anything when I say he wasn't wrong.
As a Catholic I respect everyone's freedom of speech some liberals don't want people with opposing views to speak
You do realise that as a Catholic if you lived in NI he would want you ethnically cleansed?
@@CH-zr7qr Yes and he still has the right to speak his mind and this is coming from an Irish catholic. Freedom of speech is not just for the opinions you deem to be acceptable.
@@seankeogh1401 I never said he couldn’t speak his mind, I was just disagreeing with him.
@@CH-zr7qr Ahh fair enough but I don't think the original comment was that he agreed with paisley just that he believed he should be allowed speak his mind.
@@CH-zr7qr Americans just don't understand much about the world. It's not their fault.
Ulster will always remain part of the United Kingdom!
Not when it costs billions of pounds to keep.
Fighting for the country who invaded them very brave???
no
Unless there is a majority vote to leave the increasingly dis United Kingdom.
@Shield Liger dude that 9county boundary was mapped out by an English Monarch, so what. Ulster is more than soil.
Great man, and a great orator.
Charisma and a voice that will never be forgotten.
Even watching his short speech in this video gives me a sense of pride. He was a powerful speaker and a powerful inspirational man. I don't think we will see the likes of him again in NI politcs.
He is quite an inspiration indeed. He appears to have inspired some to kill others, though he takes no responsibility for it. I find him an enigma.
When I listen and did listen in the past to his speeches I never got the feeling to kill or attack anyone. That is nonsense. Those who went out and killed on all sides did so themselves and are responsible only to themselves. Ian never told anyone to do any violence. He was a Christian minister. If not for people like Ian I feel there would have been many more killed.
***** Yes, but not everybody is as bright as you. My claim that he inspired some to kill others is not nonsense, some of those who did the killing were those who made the claim. It is not nonsense to them. Nor was he just a Christian minister, he was a fundamentalist Christian minister and a politician too.
'If not for people like Ian I feel there would have been many more killed'.
I'm not so sure about that. Today he appears to accept that there was justification of the Civil Rights movement of the late 1960s. If he had championed that rather setting his face against Civil Rights, the impact of the gunman would have been reduced.
An out-and-out bigot, probably indirectly responsible for more deaths here than anyone. He was also one of the Provos greatest recruiting agents.
lol keep dreaming sad sad people.
A protestant Ulster for a protestant people... those days are well gone
At a Dublin election meeting in February 1932, de Valera said: "The majority of the people of Ireland are Catholic and we believe in Catholic principles.
"And as the majority are Catholics, it is right and natural that the principles to be applied by us will be principles consistent with Catholicity."
That’s why the Northern Ireland PM said what he said.
GuTWorm68 Catholic printable like no Abortion or gay Marriage which it is the Protestants of Northern Ireland that hold those principles
As they should be🇮🇪
Brilliant Orator with great conviction of the GOD..I salute you Rev Ian Paisley 永垂不朽！
A very great man. The UK needs him now.
And a great pool player to boot
Nothing Christian about being a bigot
I talked with a free Presbyterian man in October 2021 Ian senior would be turning in his resting place. For that man he swirling marbles in his mouth. He couldn't reach an inch into the true news of Christianity. I am still hopeful for the DUP and the founding father would expect this from his people.
Big Ian couldn't say no to that ice cream...
Paid for with his expenses. Must be genetic...
@@Itsjustmyselfsoitis Palestine does not exist.
What a character, different times
He was the ultimate leader.
Fearless against his enemies, loyal to his people, devoted to god and generous to the ladies, bought them ice cream and made them laugh etc.
Irish Catholic and love THIS Guy he's so Irish x
How Protestants and Catholics, two groups of people who worship the same god, same Jesus and use the same bible, don’t get on, just baffles the mind
@Jessica Hughes Jesus was Jewish buddy
Yes, but most of us do get on fine. I see Catholics and Protestants alike as my brothers and sisters ❤️
@@Jim54_turns out the gaels are Jewish decent too (protestant&catholics..) 😂
If tomorrow, theoretically speaking, Ulster was to be placed under the rule of the Republic of Ireland, thus leaving the union of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, what would happen? Would there be civil war, even today? It's very difficult for an outsider to understand.
Jhon Guptaa yes
That's a difficult question as the unionists cannot rely on the support of a paramilitary police force or UDR anymore and the British army would not threaten mutiny in their favour. Do they attack the security forces!? A sectarian campaign would also be short-sighted. I don't think we would see a full-scale civil war but continued serious civil unrest. The GFA forbids this happening - there must be a majority vote in favour of a change in Northern Ireland's constitutional status. We have all had enough of sectarian war, I hope.
Yes there probably would be a civil war but there will not be a civil war
There could be, so it should only come about should a vast majority of the people of Northern Ireland want it. No one wants to see war on this island again!
Hopefully not.. But if it does happen.. The UN will b brought in... Not the British army.. This time..
As an Englishman what happens if Scotland votes for independence? How would all the Ulster Scot Presbyterians feel when their motherland splits with England?
Ryanair have plenty of great deals flying from Ireland to Scotland everyday,Im sure they could fly cheaply back to their motherland?lets hope alot do??😂
@@robertomeara3469 Actually a lot of Protestants in Northern Ireland have native Irish ancestry too.
@@robertomeara3469 Would Scots return to Ireland and give it back to the Picts then? Return flights from NI.
@@neil4817 Nationalist/Republican knowledge of history only goes back as far as it suits the narrative.
@@Chubbstain the gaels didn't wipe out the picts, the vikings did.. The gaels took control of the former pictish land after the pictish royalty was destroyed
The churchill of Ulster ........
@Liam C indeed
Churchill was willing to secede Northern Ireland to a united Ireland in turn for De Valera's support, which of course never directly came, in World War Two.
U deluded fool
@@Denis-tg6jw De Valeras support did come but no way would he accept the 6 counties with a Protestant majority,he simply knew the trouble that lay ahead with them lot .
For fans of old signage, check out 1:10. Walls ice cream, Players No6 and Lyons Cakes. Very cool.
All this is true I've met and shook hands with ian paisley no surrender god is good let's all live in peace each to there own Paul p Birmingham England ps I've lived in n Ireland 10 yrs in the past 😎🌞👍❤ love it and the people
One of the vile settlers and robbers who stole the land from the Irish and when they fought back to take back their land, the robbers called them terrorists.
john alexander yes because they killed innocent people but Ireland as a whole is a Protestant country since st. Patrick was a prod
@@Obs23456 straight off the mark, I'll confess my ignorance of the subject- I comment not to offend anyone, but Ireland seems to me to be a beautiful island, full of the most wonderful people, who have all faced dreadful struggles for the longest time, and for me, it seems such a pity that it has been blighted by division thanks to religion and politics- both of whom purport to be working to make life better for everyone. Once, long ago, there must have been this small beautiful island where all the people were one- same I guess as everywhere, before those with bigger ideas decided to force their opinions on others, and ended up with divide and ruin! 😔
@@gee-wizz.5050aye before humans arrived on the island..
The Troubles especially fascinate me, I remember hearing and feeling the “gentrification work” 😭 the IRA undertook back when I was 10 in Manchester, was only 4 miles away on a school sports day at the time, just seeing war, tanks, troops on the same type of terrace streets I grew up on and still live on today really gives me a weird feeling, very 1984 distopian vibes and the fact that we don’t have to imagine what it would be like where I live if shite ever hit the fan strikes a mad chord also, not fear it just feels like a work of fiction but also something that could happen because it already has. Actually get nervous when ever I’m opening a biscuit tin 😭😭😭
explain "gentrification work". Was that a fancy saying in England for indiscriminate murder in Northern Ireland? My dad is from Hulme, you should know where that is if you are from Manchester, Royal engineers, more than likely he was British military intelligence in N.I., I was born in Northern Ireland....so.....please explain to me what GW means. I agree about 1984...it sounds cool in quotes from a book but when you see people bombed in the street and there blood is all over you, its not that cool .Quotes mean nothing when you're covered in someone else's blood.
Maybe i've taken it the wrong way, i do over react sometimes.
Someone has to explain to me why Protestants and Catholics have such difficulty getting along with each other in Nothern Ireland. I am a Protestant and had Catholic neighbors. Never had any problem with them. They worshiped their way, I worshiped mine.
I'm Catholic and live in England,but in the case of ni the cops treated people badly ,if the cops/army/paramilitaries attacked my friends id be angry too..
Warblerab 295 Because they literally preach different forms of Christianity. Similar to the Sunni and Shia. They may share the same holy book (bible/Quran), but they disagree on the interpretation and mechanisms and instruments of the faith (which is a pretty big deal).
Leave religion.
@@jimmyjones9775 that doesn't explain why this problem exists in the Northern Ireland and yet where I live, Catholics and Protestants have no problem with each other.
It‘s not about Religion, it‘s ethnicity. The real divide is between Native Irish ( mostly Catholics) and scottish and english settlers (mostly Protestants). It‘s just a bad use of the terms. Ian Paisley was the only one for whom ist was about religion. Sorry for my bad english i am from Luxembourg.
Warblerab 295 I’m not sure where you live, but I assure you even if today they are living in peace side by side it was not always so. Literally millions have been killed based on this divide.
Absolute legend!
Of course backwards foreigners would think that
A wonderful speaker of true conviction and a wonderful man. RIP Sir.
This man would have fitted well as a 17th century salem witch trial prosecutor.
I like his last speech to the british politicians... about the ulster protestants "Desire to fight and die for their heritage"... It's something i repeat many times
Northern Irish Al Sharpton.
Err he was the opposite of Al Sharpton lol.
I never had the pleasure of meeting him, but what a good soldier for the Lord!! We should all the courage of our faith as he had. I hope to meet him when all get home in Heaven. 🙏🏻
Onward Christian Soldier and all that
He was a bigoted old fool
0:47 Paisley tells the reporter that they are in 'Carra-reagh' or something similar? Can someone tell me exactly where this is? I can't find it or anything similar on Google Maps. Closest I can find is Carrowreagh primary school, which is far removed from the River Bann - which presumably is the river (or, at least, one of its tributaries) shown at that point in the video. (Paisley calls the area the 'Bannside' valley).
Might be Castlereagh belfast
@@Aj-hd1xl what a bludgeoningly stupid answer
Could it be Coleraine?
Think it's Carrowreagh townland, outside Ballymoney
lol I recall reading that the IRA let Paisley live because he did more harm to unionism / loyalism than the IRA could dream of.
How so
@@caleb4790 His massive mouth preaching sectarian bile,thats why they let him live,his big mouth done more for the IRA cause.
@@robertomeara3469 he was not one bit sectarian he was a good Christian man. The ira let him live as they seen that, and as well as good security he has, politicians were rarely targeted as well
Bullshit.
I always admired his passion and drive for what he felt needed representation
Amazing man
Legend paisley told it like it was
Exactly, like it WAS! Not like that anymore though, is it!😉
As much as I disagree with his policy, you do have to agree with the fact that he cared for his constituency
for someone trying to keep Northern Ireland in the UK, he seems to really hate the UK
He can hate his contemporary UK and still ideologically believe in the continuation of the Union based on the possibility for change in the future.
@Straight White British Protestant Excellent and accurate comment.
@Straight White British Protestant what rubbish
No. He hated the devious British politicians. Not Britain.
Wonderful country.
Not anymore
Not anymore, it's full of Sinn Fein Provos.
Dry your eyes lads.
He almost sound like an American
Leader. Legend.
He makes Tony SOPRANO look like a choir boy....
Peter Taylor is fantastic
a legend what a speaker , and he meant it 100percent.
A very hard man in very hard times
Love his hate speeches! May he RIP
I take it you did not keep up with the Kincora inquiry in Banbridge? He was a puppet.
Not hate. Truth.
You can't love without hating things that oppose love
If we can bring this man back I want him to replace Justin Trudeau. Please...
3:54 he has an iphone next to him
He was WAY ahead of his time.
Relentless. Pure Ulster. God bless
He knew about the globalists
god love this man because he done great work on this earth
As well as stirred up hatred which lead to violence and loss of life, but let’s just ignore that
He was a bigoted old fool

He was an incredibly good speaker.
He speaks in continuous cliche; well practiced and drilled. A good orator, no question, but of no independent thought or ability to adapt. He could not debate well nor respond succinctly and apropos when hard put.
Ian is the man
I've been fixated on him since I was a teen.
All you reprobates should thank God for sending Ian Paisley because he gave you a second chance.

There is has been and will be a great amount of ignorance of the repective histories of each community in Northern Ireland this is the Fault of many including the government...No one side was completely at fault and the Plantation of Ulster has never been explained to most Catholics...it was very Gradual and not a a single mass invasion that brought the Ulster Scots to Northern Ireland...
No Surrender
The 6 counties. Northern Ireland is often known as Ulster. For example Ulster TV (UTV) or BBC Radio Ulster etc.
He was the Casius Clay of NI Politics
But Northern Ireland is Ulster even if when using the term you purposely mean to exclude 3 of the counties the term itself is correct given that all 6 counties in NI are part of Ulster.
Would you call the UK Europe?
I was under the impression that Ulster=9 counties. 3 are part of the Republic of Ireland and 6 are Northern Ireland.
@@warblerab2955 but not for too much longer 🥂
Ulster is finished. Irish unification will definitely occur within the next 50 years, and you all know it.

Yeah were only needed when there's fighting to be done and believe me where in for one hell of a fight in the next decade.
It seems to this American, Paisley was a 20th century Irish version of George Washington
It's interesting he looks so old in this video and he became first minister 30 years later
A great man . I wish i had him ss my MP. Rip sir .
I loved Big Ian. A man who was realistic about life and could make us all laugh! God bless him.
I'm of british roots... my father side... But trurly ones... From all british home nations (also northern ireland)... I have known some northern irish via twitter who said all the time "I'm british" hehe... I went to england as a boy... to a kindergarden (im not born in britain)... and when i came back to my country i said my family "im english, Im english" I have a Ian sneaking inside hehe
Great Man.
Great respect for this guy. A true leader.
Absolute Legend.
Part of me wonders can non-Christians and by that I mean unbelieving Protestants, Roman Catholics and others really understand Paisley if they don't understand God and the faith by which Ian lived? Its all to simple for some to suggest Ian Paisley hated Catholics, but in actual fact he didn't he loved them to much that he wanted each and everyone of them to know God and go to heaven.
I'm American and I have no idea who this guy is or his relation to Irish politics, but his accent is pretty cool.
*northern irish
he would have been fuming if he heard you say that about him lmao
@@noahjohnston8689 Lol. Like I said, I don't know jack about your guy's politics 😂
LOL Irish.
Northern Irish politics are very interesting but it can be quite a heavy subject if you are going to look into it.
As someone from England now living in Northern Ireland its taken me some time to get my head around the politics. Basically, if you live one side of the road you'll have one view, if you live the other side of the road you will hold the opposite view.
Neither side will give an inch of compromise as they seek to either keep the word 'Northern' in their name and remain in the UK or drop it all together and become one with the Republic.
As someone who can see it with fresh eyes, divorced from the rhetoric and brainwashing of both sides, it is worth none of the blood shed of the recent past and none of the ongoing hatred of the present.
I Love the ascent
Player's No. 6, now that dated the video better than the Ghia.
behind all the roaring and damnable preaching
paisley was a kind funny man 👁️
What? Like the catholics in the u.s. should move back overseas b/c it was once (very truly) a Northwest Euro Protestant country in the u.s. (and run very differently then, indeed)? Why don't they just leave...right
The British left America, why can’t y’all leave us too?
Back to Rome with ye all.
My man
I don't understand how someone who claims to follow God can have such hate. My family in Ireland was Catholic, I am religiously "protestant" although I go to a non-denominational church in America. Although because of people like this man I want to drop any faith in God, in a Christ. It is a shame. Do not beat people with the bible for goodness sake. God is based in love, learn a little from him.
I do not want to drop my faith in God and Christ but I otherwise agree.
