@Frodojo111 Thanks but its not actually my quote. I should have put his name when I wrote it but I couldn't remember who it was at the time. It was Frank Carson, an Irish comedian who said it.

No, you're right largely! There was of course plenty of "resentment" from the Native English in Liverpool or Middlesboro to the immigrant Irish, there wasn't the same Sectarian divisions.
The reason is actually quite simple. The immigrant Irish in England were almost entirely from the South & nearly all Catholic. The "Irish" who went to west of Scotland were from Ulster, and were 25 to 30% Ulster Prods! The Ulster conflict came with the immigrants to Glasgow (AKA "Belfast Lite"!).

@DonegalRaymie201 I might be wrong but I'm fairly Glasgow was the only place on the mainlands that suffered from the huge sectarian nonsense. Places like Middlesbrough and Liverpool, two very high Irish Immigration locations, especially never really faced the scale of violence & hatred that we've seen in Glasgow & NI. Although, Irish & Catholics were treated like 2nd class citizens - outside B&Bs, you would find "no black & Irish). Royal Family not allowed to marry a catholic etc

That is actually a fantastic quote! I am totally going to annotate your name when I use it.

Historically accurate and un-biased. Good video.

I used to be a Prodestant Christian/Buddhist. But now that i realize that religion is bullshit, i'm an atheist and i'm proud that i'm an atheist now.

So fucking what? I used to be a fuckin Prodestant Christian mixed with Buddhism, until i became an atheist. So what?
The problem in Northern Ireland is that there are too many Catholics and too many Protestants but not enough Christians.

Anyhow, i think its pointless pushing for a united Ireland or for it to remain in the UK, sooner or later we are all going to get sucked up into the European Superstate and tbh there is nothing we can really do to prevent it.
