- DUP leader Ian Paisley has announced a policy shift from integration with Britain towards the possibility of an independent Northern Ireland.
Democratic Unionist Leader Rev Ian Paisley spoke about an independent Ulster in an interview with London Weekend Television’s Weekend World programme on 27 January. He admitted that his views on an independent Northern Ireland were against everything he had stood for. He then called for a referendum to be held so that people in the United Kingdom could decide if they wanted Northern Ireland to stay in the UK. Ian Paisley’s policy shift has received mixed reactions in unionist circles.
In this ‘Seven Days’ report, Stephen Preston journalist with the Sunday News Belfast discusses Ian Paisley’s new stand for an independent Ulster.
Describing Ian Paisley as a warm-hearted and fun individual, he says,
His public image is certainly very different from his private one.
Stephen Preston says he is not surprised by Ian Paisley’s new stance for an independent Ulster or anything that any loyalist or protestant says in Ulster.
He is talking about an independent Ulster.
This episode of ‘Seven Days’ was broadcast on 1 February 1974. The reporter is Brendan O’Brien.
All this for cheese and pineapple on a stick .
🤣🤣🤣
Hahaha harry enfield
So he admitted the lRA won in the end? Unbelievable
Paisley and Trimble sold the loyalist people out
Presumably this independent Ulster would have had the British monarch as head of State, and would have been a member of the Conmonwealth??
Rhodesia declared independence and proclaimed the queen as head of state, but Britain never recognised it and supported it so they got rid of the monarchy and became a republic.
Duh. Just like Canada and Jamaica
Is the king of england not the head of state in canada?
@@philipcorr8225 There hasn't been a King of England in centuries, in fact. The head of State in Canada is the King of Canada. That monarch is also the King of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
@@DA-og4px so, canada is not a republic
This was one of the proposals that came out of the new ireland forum that he famously rejected with his never never never comment in the early 80s
The rehabilitation of this man's imagine in the 2000s was mad. He had more paramilitary links than anyone in politics, and was so brazen about it he wouldn't even sign the GFA, posed with paramilitaries in video footage in the 1970s too, and then became known as a "peacemaker" for...not signing a peace treaty?
Trouble maker
A complex and stubborn man. He was on a chat show in Southern Ireland once and the audience loved him. Funny, charming, great sense of humour and well able to laugh at himself. He could have done so much for peace in Ulster in the 1970s and 1980s because people listened to him.
He fooled a lot of people, he covered him many thousands crimes of instructing and preaching violence and his deepest heathered of Catholics and the Irish people with his jokes, his false laughter, he carried out the devil's work for many long years wearing the collar of a victor, but he was not much better than Putin
Not complex. Arch demagogue, very simple.
He might be charming but he says what he needs to get ahead, didn't mind changing his views when he seen there was more power in peace. It's that simple.
Southern Ireland ?
@patrickkelly5609 the free state aka the rainbow Republic under Leo the bumma
Like Cork?
Ian played that old orange fiddle for yesrs; Then he got what he was a
playing for all along, ie. Ian, 1st minister of N.Ireland. Then, he kinda mellowed somewhat.
Check out his full history, the sea of destruction, the brutality he preached, the lives lost and badly damaged, the homes burnt to the ground, see the facts, and don't be fooled by the howling laughter of an evil brutal man, just like Trump, people also love that Wako to
@@jamesbradshaw3389 Ireland definitely needs more American politics. TRUMP TRUMP TRUMP!!!! the evil bad guy... whos doing something in Ireland i think
@@GAMER123GAMINGtrump gets his hair dye there
Never, never, never.
How long was he on holidays in Ireland for
All his life.
So they're not loyalists and they are sectarian.
God almighty imagine an independent NI with 1974 demographics, UDR and RUC.... Catholics would have been in concentration camps in no time.
Makes me moist.
There were Catholics in concentration camps in 1974. It was called 'Internment' -- without a trial. Bad old days then. 😮
They were...it was called internment. On the first night of operation motorman hundreds of catholics were interned and not a single one was in the IRA.
I don't care which side you are on, you knew where you stood with him, wish we had more like him today in politics
That’s pretty ignorant, considering you could say the same thing for a number of bigots. The man purposefully shamed Bobby sands funeral by holding his own vigil.
@@fintanmccann1128 get well or better educated soon
@@stuartpenman6387 The man blocked the road to peace almost his whole life, until he became old and exhausted or something slightly resembling wisdom through a lifetime of hatred. Could you be more specific on what to educate myself on if I am wrong.
@@fintanmccann1128 no he didn't , he fought what he thought was right , learn that 1st and then i can teach the rest of being an adult
@@stuartpenman6387 Hitler also fought for what he thought was right and the world knew where they stood with him. I'm sure the Unionists wish they had more like him in politics today.
You tell 'em, big man.😅 . Hang on a mo'. S..t! look at where we are now. 😢
Ian paisley : Gay Icon.
Definatly repressed bottom...he would look great ina pinny..😂
Yeah he really loved God that's for sure he said you have to be on your hands and knees for god
Shut up
@cicero8271 No its not stop acting like a retard
Ian was a man ahead of his time. Independence from the UK would have been a step towards a united Ireland for cooler and more reasonable heads.
Maybe not with how the unionists were holding power. This wasn't long before they would have gotten an influx of rhodesians
Hope people get the satire
Yea he used to be.But, he wasn't a bigot then😮
I thought he wanted it to be Bretish………
Unfortunately he caused a lot of trouble
It's like hearing Adolf Hitler deliver a speech in English.
You are wrong in such comparisons. You cannot conflate a dictator with paisley who has been a Democrat his whole life. Do your homework and don't spout ignorance
@@rob0576aUr right the Austrian people was 10x the man Ian could ever be
if people think SF won't go into coalition with FF/FG just remember they went into coalition with this bigot
SF sail which ever way the winds blows and whoever will line there pockets!
@@ChristianPatriarchywhats with the capitals pal we all know what dev was Collins however was a true irishman unlike de valera an american.
@@ChristianPatriarchy he was indeed a bigot, my grandmother is protestant, the leaders of 1916 envisioned this country where protestants were treated exact same as catholics
People on here bad mouthing and disrespecting a patriotic hero like Éamon de Valera need to hang their heads in shame. An honourable man who put his life on the line only for people to belittle him a century later.
Politics isn't always straightforward and the people criticising him would never fill his boots.
@@MartinMartinm Collins was 100 times the man dev was. He let the church seize control and with that control and power we all know what happened.
He sent condolences to the German minister Edouard Hempel as news of hitlers death was revealed. He did this to piss off gray the american minister to ireland for trying to influence public opinion against him.
But the most unforgivable cowardice act he did was sending collins to london to sign a treaty he knew would never be agreed to by the british. Not only using good men like collins for scapegoats he also unveiled collins identity as up to then the british had no clue what he actually looked like.
He also played a massive part in starting the irish civil war considering he knew what deal collins was going to receive in london and yet he still resigned from government when the vote came to the dail in regards to accepting partition.
He ordered liam deasy commander of the ambush to kill Collins at Béal na Bláth. He was shot once through the head by a dum dum bullet fired by Denis sonny O'Neill.
He was the only leader not to be executed in 1916 as he was an american citizen while the real irish leaders died for their country.
He was not a leader and only thought about his own legacy and everyone else was irrelevant and replaceable. He was the only man to hold the the office of taoiseach twice and president and was easily the worst for both positions in irelands short independent history.
Slainte pal.
you are what you do
Jaysus Ian what ye shouting for 😅
Irish Catholic and love him.. great man❤
Why would an irish Catholic like yourself love this man when he attacked our religion ? I am an irish Catholic who lived through the troubles. This man has blood on his hands
When i was a kid I thought that he was some kind of dog 🐕 when I heard him on the news, never knew what he was saying, all i could hear was rar rar rar .
Have bit of sence
Eejet
UTTER MUG
Paisley was the best of a bad bunch. Criticised by everyone but, represented and stayed loyal to his people.
He caused the whole conflict. What are you talking about
@@liamg1706 laughable. Many things led to the conflict. The discrimination, political bias, American progressive influences just to name a few. Paisley was not a violent man who wished bad upon people. He just politically represented his people even though I'm anti loyalist myself and don't support the politics.
@@MartinMartinm I’m pretty sure it came out that Ian paisley bought guns and gave them to loyalist paramilitaries. He got them from Isreal and African countries under the guise of using them for border protection
@@MartinMartinm he certainly played a huge part. Far from laughable if you know what talking about. Of course there were major underlying factors . But paisley stirred up the flames of hate and is widely suspected in being involved in a uvf bombing campaign which aimed to get the dormant IRA of the time the blame for a serious of bombs attacks to whip up fear and anger by the protestant community in the North. Things like this and his hate filled rhetoric is what mobilised hate filled brainwashed mobs of protestants taking to the streets burning catholics out there homes. Which is how the conflict started. Do some research you "anti loyalist"haha American im guessing using that kind of lingo that nobody here would use.
@@ciaranloughran9314''pretty sure'', never happened.
