Civic Space - Podcast: Ian Marshall
Civic Space is an inter-community initiative which aims to promote: mutual respect and parity of esteem; engagement in an environment that promotes constructive dialogue, listening and freedom of opinion; civic participation and the communication of civic values; challenge to sectarian asperity, homophobia, gendered behaviour and racism; issues of public concern that relate to economic, cultural and social injustice; constructive engagements that draw public attention to shared concerns that cross the community/constitutional divide; Article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the "freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers" and protect and develop civic space and in so doing promote reconciliation and conflict transformation.
Civic Space sat down with people from pro-union community backgrounds and those who want and desire constitutional change to discuss the past and the future.

This project was funded by the Department of Foreign Affairs' Reconciliation Fund.

    Fun videos. Do you consider Vikingar Age 1450-250BC part of the Viking Age? Berserker Age 250BC-791AD?? Do you know of the Battle of Uppsala Sound 791AD??? Skraelingar = skinny Phoenicians, Knights = Skraelingr plus Danish Vikings, Liefr Eirikson = Erik the Red plus McMac Indians, Skraelingr circling Appalachian Mountains If you understand Evolutionary Studies, you will study Pre-Biblical days. In the beginning... the Aegean tried to match the female nymph which became Aphrodite with the male Satyr which became Samson from Arcadia Peloponnese to create the race we know today. People were primates, the nymph was hairless. Men were attracted to her, but they were matched with a hairy female. When men mixed with the nymph, their offspring also became part of the lighter persuasion. So, the men were placed on the Greek side of the Aegean and the nymphs on the Anatolian side. Men invaded and mixed with the nymphs. Over time, the two blended together to create a new race. Women were then escorted to Athens. This process would continue as the Helen of Troy myth. Ur is Greece & Roma= Aegean coastlines of Greece and Anatolia are 'U', boot shape of Italy is 'r'. "Land of Ur' is Mesopotamia. Leading to Pre-Columbian Era, America.

    Your video is all hyperbole about the doom and gloom of a United Ireland. So far not once have you mentioned why it's good for the North to stick with Britain when.... the North is a divided society and will always remain so, your political structures demand it, you can't govern yourselves in the North with yet *another* collapsed stormont. Your health care is actually worse than Irelands, how long of a wait to see a GP? Nationalist in the north make up the majority of third level education, the majority of which are educated in Catholic schools. You ignore unionists sliding demographics, not only is there more Catholics than Protestants now, the Protestant population is heavily tilted towards the older age categories. You have nothing to sell the union with, the same union the majority of the Tory party wanted rid of if it was going to interfere with Bexit showing you just how expendable the North of Ireland is to the British Union. Boris f**ked you under a big red bus and lied to your face without a second thought. Reunification can occur without a single vote from unionism. However now when unionism is at its strongest (demographic wise) is when you should be making demands of what a United Ireland will look like but instead you stick your head in the sand, pretend it's not happening and emerge only to tell the your pathetic scare stories of what a United Ireland *might* look like.

    When Westminster had the BREXIT vote and Northern Ireland and Scotland voted to stay in the EU, Westminster just ignored their preference. In fact, after the vote the major discussion and sticking point between Brussels and London wasn't the economy or transport problems at Dover or EU citizens living in the UK or vice a versa. No, it was Northern Ireland. And yet nether Westminster or any politician had mentioned the place or had give it one minutes thought. When the day dawns that someone important in Westminster, says to some other important person in Westminster "Lets leave the place". They will be gone, the filing cabinets emptied, the offices closed, the doors locked and the For Lease signs on the government buildings, before any one in Belfast has woken up. Its time certain communities faced facts, London doesn't care about Northern Ireland or its people or its history. You are all just Irish trouble makers, and the sooner you are gone the better.

      @@PaddyDoesasia-bj3bb Yes BRITISH to the core! Belfast born and raised! WE didn’t have our constitution written by the Catholic Church so don’t lecture me on going on about religion! The Republic has been steeped in religion from its conception. Holy father and sisters abusing young children both male and female. Young unmarried mothers virtually imprisoned. If people go on about religion, what about you lot with your famine and your revolution? If anyone was brutal to the Irish it was the Irish themselves. Ballyseady where IRA men were tied to a land mine by Free State soldiers and blown to bits. Women on both side of the civil war were raped and abused by either side. More shot by firing squad than the British ever did. They can talk all they like but things will not improve and you are probably right the British will leave Ireland and I’m sure the Republic will be happy to have a militant minority in what you call “The North”.
