I wonder how many others got that reference.

@@williamulsterman6771 ha ha - that had me laughing aloud.
lol i was about to write the same thing !
Even the pope laughed when he called him the antichrist
Haha!
Everyones got a mate who can do a great Paisley impression.
I asked my mate several times and finally he said "NEVER NEVER NEVER". So I stopped asking after that.
If you're like 40, bless
I am that mate
My cat was not scared of any dog or other cats...we had a page of Ian Paisley quotes on the fridge...when in the grip of 'the buttermilk' I'd roar a fire n brimstone sermon... he'd flee in terror then he'd poke his little head nervously through the cat-door... that's how I knew he was a papisher
I sir, am that mate of my group 😂 a great knashing of teeth haha
Came here from Harry Enfield's Mr. Ulsterman sketch. Have to say the prototype is still a lot crazier.
Same as me 😂
For hundreds of years, my community has enjoyed cheddar cheese and pineapple on a stick, and you have trampled our demands UNTO THE MUD.
*contemptuously unto the mud
?
No! Et es YEE who has refused my peaceful and legitimate requehst !
Where is the clip of Paisley shaking hands with GerryAdams? That is the one that had me think I was hallucinating.
He never shook hands with Adam's
It was the ulster unionist and the SDLP leaders shaking hands
Too many Catholics
Too many Protestant's
Not enough Christians

Excuse me who is Frank carson thanks
Packet but do they not go hand in hand?!?
@Packet That is still too simplistic. There were a large group of Northern Irish who liked being British.
@Packet But you said Britain v Ireland. Northern Ireland is apart of Britain.

Indeed, the southern accent is rooted in the "Scotch-Irish" accents of Paisley's ancestors.

I'd say one thing.....he wasn't one for fluff. He hated Ireland less than Varadkar and Coveney do.
You have brains. A relief to know you are out there
His verbal attack on the Pope (John Paul the 2nd) when he was invited to address the EU Parliament is jaw dropping and toe curling!
But so Northern Ireland
rightfully so
False doctrine Catholicism
Paisley was right about the Pope and summed up that materialistic demonic ridden faith in that speech.
Toe curling because its entirely true

Acceptance, tolerance and forgiveness, those are life-altering lessons. Perhaps Mr. Paisley learned these lessons after spending many years he spent ignoring them.

@@snowflame4333 So did George Wallace. Too little too late.
George Wallace at least came to his senses for whatever reasons in the mid 70s Paisley was still belting sectarian shite when Blair was in office.
Yes, both kind and wonderfull
The thought of first minister was too enticing to give up even if it meant sharing power with Sinn Fein. Tells it all really
Or because he was dying and finally realised peace mattered more than his pride.
I have not read enough about the conflict In Ireland to have an opinion on the matter and as I am an outsider I would love to hear from both sides of the issue. I just watched this because dr Ian Paisley has a great voice
It's a very complicated subject, one that's incredibly politically and emotionally charged for millions of people in N.Ireland, Ireland and beyond. Definitley worth looking into, but I guess you could say that it began with the British colonisation of Ireland, you had English people settling in much of the East and Central parts of Ireland forming what became the Anglo-Irish community and in the northern province of Ulster, Scottish people were also settling and forming communites. These communities were largely protestant as opposed to the native Irish folk who were largely catholic. Political, economic and social rights became drawn down these lines with the Protestant minority given the right to take land from Catholics without cause, impose harsh taxation and were the only ones with any right to vote. Also, their was a huge effort to erradicate the beautiful language of Irish and replace it with English. I think all the languages of the british isles have their beauty, Gaellic, Welsh, Cornish, Manx and Irish. The imposition of english was a way of killing cultures and it's disgusting. Emancipation was slow with changes to the legislature meaning now voting rights were based off of land ownership, status and wealth. It wasn't until the mid 1800's that the Irish were given any kind of political agency but were treated with disdain by the rest of the UK, the Irish Potato famine typified this xenophobia and hatred. We were meant to be brothers in arms within the 'Union' but people were starving to death en masse and Westminster did nothing to aliviate the suffering. The population of the Ireland has still not recovered to pre-famine levels. Irelands status as a puppet state of Englan->Britain->The UK would last from 1542-1922 with the war for independence. However, the Northern part of Ireland, which as stated now consisted of a large communitiy of protestants were deeply opposed to Irish independence. Many considered themselves to had developed a distinct accent, culture and identity of being Northern Irish/Ulstermen or British. They saw, and many still see themselves as a seperate people with seperate views, goals and wish to remain firmly within the UK. Similarly, religion would of course play a great role in the devisivness that followed with many Protestants feeling repulsed by the concept of living in a Catholic nation. Then for roughly the next 40/50 years Northern Ireland existed as a part of the UK having a devolved parliament within it, however, the large catholic minortity living there were still very much segregated from the rest of the country, living in walled off communities, segregated schools ect. All of this resentment came to a head when civil rights activists marched in Derry, protesting against catholic discrimination on October 5th 1968. The police began beating the protestors severely injuring over 100 people. After this (there were many *many* other events bear in mind) the troubles began with inter community violence between those that wanted Irish reunification and those that wanted to remain British. This was largely contested between the IRA and numerous Unionist groups like the UDA, the UVF, which were firmly but (not so) covertly backed by the government of the UK. Finally this ended in 1998 with the signing of the GFA between the British Government led by Tony Blair and the Irish Government led by Taoiseach Bertie Ahern. This established firm rights, a solid politcal system that would represent both republican and unionist voices as well as travel/citizenship rights between the North and South. There's definitley stuff I've left out, like Cromwell and Wars of the Three Kingdoms, the impact of William of Orange as well as the recent impact of Brexit. But that about covers it. Sorry it took so long, if you've read all that I'm impressed, definitley worth looking into.
@@jamesasher63 I had an idea that it was more than a religious conflict but the sheer depth and scope of it is astonishing. Thank you for the information you gave me
@@jgrj52 no problem mate
@@jamesasher63 that is a pretty good summary. I would just add that opportunistic as politicians are the people have a lot to answer for. After the bravery of the Ulster Unionists and the SDLP, respectively the more moderate unionist and nationalist parties, in making the peace agreement the voters in NI rewarded Paisley’s rabble rousing DUP and SF the political wing of the IRA terrorists. Amazing Paisley and McGuinness managed to get on and make the devolved administration work. Their successors have not been as successful and now the whole process is threatened by the stupidity of Brexit which the DUP support in order to undermine the peace process. The irony is that the English nationalists in the Tory party, egged on by the various Farage parties, insisted on a hard Brexit and a protocol introducing customs controls between the mainland GB and NI to protect the Belfast agreement. This enrages the DUP and means NI cannot form an administration. But getting back to the story you could say that Paisley was successful in fomenting bigotry but failed to prevent other parties and the British and Irish Governments in promoting peace.
@@jamesasher63 Fantastic resume on history of The Troubles and not at all long
Thanks a lot
What a change for Ian Paisley
Remember Kinora's boy home....

Apparently, only three people were involved, they were convicted years ago and they are all dead now. If you buy that, I've got a bridge between Scotland and Northern Ireland you may be interested in buying.
Don't loyalists realise that 3 Ulster counties aren't under British rule?
Tinted VisionZz one day 😎
It was unionists that carved up the north and created the boundaries for partition so yes we are well aware that only 6 out of 9 Ulster counties are British because we were the ones that decided it so.
@@jack18over so ur a prod
Charlie McCreery whether someone is a prod or not does not necessarily correlate with them being Unionist and the only type of heure to even come out with “so ur a prod” is either a wain or has an intellect on par with a hen.
Away with you now boyo, famines over.
Don't you realise that's a 1600s Elizabethian boundary map. Ulster has varied in size over the centuries. Some times smaller sometimes larger.
He lived for a very long time.
Empty vessels usually do
He foretold it all
We shall never surrender. Ever.

Surrender to what ????
We dont want ye to surrender, just hand back all the lands ye stole.

I do miss the 80s
Jon Ronson's book Them brought me here lol
How did Paisley survive in Ulster without a hair out of place from the 60s onwards?! He was untouchable like Adams and McGuiness. I shudder to think what would have happened in Ulster if the rival factions had killed one of them.
Paisley was such an embarrassment the RA kept him alive
Ever time he spoke 100 people joined the cause. He was the greatest recruitment advertisement for the IRA there could ever be
Paisley looked good on the RA recruitment posters.
The IRA’s greatest recruiting tool.
Every time he opened his mouth the IRA gained more recruits. He was the best recruiting tool they could’ve hoped for.
“…I would have been totally unbelieving.”
His voice has stuck in my head, like a nail, since the 70s.
Born 1926.
Religious outlook from 1626.
Missed the part where he gave addresses of "papists" who lived on the shankill road to a crowd he was whipping up with his hate speeches
@@arohanpatla4308 yes. Research the history of this mans work, the people who had their homes burnt in 1969 knew it was "the paisleyites" that done it
This man used his religious standing to ingrain sectarianism and racism into the poor peoples hearts
The protestant loyalists from ireland have always had a hate preacher teaching them to hate and fear the catholics going back hundreds of years, paisley was just another incarnation of this evil
@@conorfields506 the papacy is the antichrist

If anyone else from any other country did the type of things Paisley did he would be compared to Hitler
What an utterly ridiculous thing to say. To equate Ian paisley to Hitler is laughably stupid
Liam Neeson, although Catholic, used to sneak in to listen to Paisley giving his sermons. That’s why he took up acting.
He spoke a good game, he lined his pockets whilst he got his monkeys to do his bidding. He knew his time was coming to an end and jumped straight into bed with Sinn Fein.
The irony of holding up a sculpture of Thatcher being hung while waving a Union Jack in Northern Ireland is an irony apparently lost on these lads
Ulster? I think he means "Ulaidh."
NURVER NURVER NURVER but maybe
I lived in Northern Ireland with my x wife a local lassie and I was friends with Dr Ian paisley 😊
Who else is here to see who Bono used to impersonate as a teenager?
Ian Paisley preyed on the fears of his poorly educated supporters to further himself in life.
When it suited him, he dropped the act.
Nah
He believed what he said
And they believed what they did
You seem to have a condescending view of these so called "poorly educated supporters"
You seem to believe you're less susceptible to propaganda than them
Ian paisly, was an opossr of God, a satanist,.2nd corinthions, cha, 11 on wards, cute that deil is, very,.judus was of the devil,.
@@goyonman9655 I think what they mean is that he was not just a politician, but entertaining, a strong leader archetype to listen to and also follow as part of a movement, which as always attracts the less political minded people and quite a lot more emotionally driven, less "educated" on actual matters etc. It happens all over the world. He loved to put on a show from what I can gather, I don't think he was truly as hardline as his youthful frontman persona let on, it was a huge gig too so he had to play all his cards. Could be wrong, I'm a ceasefire child from the other side so who knows. "I would never repudiate the fact that I am an Irishman".
@@goyonman9655
Does he believe the EU is the tool of ‘the Antichrist’…?
Paisley did.
Next.
@@jonharrison9222
Exactly
Paisley did
So did a lot of his supporters
So what?
What is condescending is assuming out of hand that he must be putting on a fake show to fool supporters.
Nah
Both Paisley and his supporters believe what they said
By god Paisley was some mouthpiece he was only for himself
even his own kirk fucked him out in the end !
And so are u Thomas Walsh.
Ahhh, another example of the tolerance of religion.
The worst being the religion of modern humanism.
Its like they took the puppet character from spitting image and made it a person. That show didnt exaggerate at all. He makes peoples hair fly off.
He exposed the paedophiles within the Catholic Church but turned a blind eye to those within his own
This man had balls of steel.
+MarineAqua45 why no name or face ? he had a heart of one too - funny how he changed his tune as he got closer to judgement day he will still burn in hell for the hatred he spewed and the blind eye to children being abused

It just goes to show you how pointless it all is
John 6: 55-9 suggests he was preaching against the truth on the Eucharist
Become Catholic.
Incredible political career but not the outstanding non sectarian leader that the Unionist community would have benefited from in the long run.
He was the most intolerant unionist N Ireland ever produced, ironically the party he founded have been thrown under the bus by the conservatives.
That’s not true . Being a strict unionist isn’t a bad thing when you have the IRA to deal with and the DUP are still supported by the Conservatives.
Sadly no Unionist leader has proven outstanding in the way John Hume was. Sadly he was a one off and NI is saddled with mediocre politicians.
@@patrickmccutcheon9361 John Hume is not a Unionist. He came from the Republican SDLP.
@@aricato4399 I never suggested Hume was a Unionist. My point is that the Unionists never had a politician of his calibre. While happily David Trimble proved to be an able foil and they got they deal done, the visionary was Hume. Sadly the electorate, were not ready did not appreciate their efforts and they chose as the largest parties the more hardline unionists and republicans. Their leaders are not capable of running NI. It did work for a while when those parties were led by Messrs Paisley and McGuinness who could pull their parties with them. But those days are gone.
Does Ian Paisley work for the Irish catholik government ?
I liked Paisley's campaign against liberalisation of Northern Ireland's homosexual laws. There was no beating about the bush..the slogan was 'Save Ulster From Sodomy'.

"blessed are the makers of peace for they will be called the children of God." 🤔 If Jesus were to spread his gospel today, the world would still murder him because people like this and legions of hateful preachers spread the messages of death. Deceiving the world as if that is what Jesus taught. "The Pharisees and the scribes haven taken the keys of knowledge and hid them. They themselves have not entered, nor have they allowed to enter those who wish to."
Amen

Look i will never speak ill of the dead, but this man was Vile without hatred be would have remained nothing
Never,never,never
The measure of his statesmanship is that he was willing to compromise if others did!
Even if you don’t agree with his views you have to admit he is a great speaker.

A great man, gone to his eternal reward. I opposed his Masonry, his anti-Catholicism, and his support for the usurping Zionist entity, but he was a loyal soldier for his cause right to the end. The haters below might want to ponder the deeper lessons obviously acknowledged by Reverend Paisley in the closing years of his life, the brevity of our lives on this earth, and what we want our legacy to be, his was peace and reconciliation.
Ian Paisley was one fucking dictator he's not ducking religious for the stuff he done Fuck Britain and their government free irelanddd
He would be the first to tell you that salvation is not a "reward" for good works but a gift freely given through faith alone in Christ. "The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." Romans.

As a nationalist, I hate the UVF or any branches and anything and everything it stands for. I also hate the queen, as useless as she is. However, Ian Paisely, with all the hate spread from both sides then working with Martin. They did not have to shoot at eachother to get people to listen to them, i'll still sing the RA songs and stay inside on the 12th but both Ian Paisely and Martin McGuiness secured a more peaceful Ireland if not fully at peace.

I so wish he was alive to see the Catholic majority reunite to one Ireland
He wasn't fit enough to lick Pope John Paul II's boots. The late pope forgave every person he saw and worked on the good of all God's people even those were not Catholic. A man who even forgave his assassinist. Ian Paisley was a horrible man.
I don't know what Paisley has done in his life, however, standing up against the darn Pope is something I deeply admire. -An ex Catholic
Paisley was evil. He wasn't just anti Catholic Church he was anti Catholics and was bigoted against them. He hated gays and was a religious conservative. Awful man.
@@Tom-jj6us I don’t condone hating anyone. Him standing up to the Pope was something I have never thought someone would do..that is all. And I personally have been “blessed” in person by Pope John Paul II and he’s polite I guess but he’s still the Antichrist…
@@kxam2 based
A lot of lives lost because a few men's egos. Shame. Shame. Shame.
Took sickness to realise he was wrong for so many years
This report misses the boat....Paisley didn't, in the words of the presenter, rage against ''all compromise with the catholic community of northern Ireland'' He raged against Sinn Fein which was the political arm of an organization, the IRA that was seeking the unification of Ireland by violent means, including violence against innocent protestant civilians. The excerpt of his speech presented here quite clearly says that. Moreover, unlike McGuiness and Adams who had ties to the IRA, Paisley was never affiliated with the Protestant paramilitaries. His political action consisted of speeches not assassinations, bombings, and kidnappings. And yet, at the end of his life he was able to forgive his violent adversaries and work for the betterment of his province.
What level of simping is this?
Ian Paisley was a prominent opponent of the Northern Ireland civil rights movement in the 1960's, a peaceful organisation that had no desire to pursue republican aims. Portraying him as a righteous defender of the realm is unrealistic folly. He was a hateful man who only relented once he got a sniff of power.
An egotist and a hypocrite.
A selection of the worst possible clips to paint all loyalists as nut jobs, because you hate all things british, as per usual.
What a horrible way to dance on a man’s grave.
Are you not from here? These clips weren't even the worst of Paisley, they were an average Tuesday for him.
@@user-ys5yv2nz6w it just seems that the loyalists are always painted badly by left wing news.
Any other group of migrants who the local inhabitants decided they want to send them home, it would be totally different.
“Send em back” is a curious double standard. If it’s in Northern Ireland it’s fine, apparently
@@RaferJeffersonIII Loyalists aren't painted badly. They make themselves look bad by screaming about Papists and calling the Pope the antichrist in public. And idk what type of allegory you're going for here, but comparing a government sponsored plantation (ie ethnic cleansing) to modern day migration makes no sense. There is no parallel.
@@user-ys5yv2nz6w Given that there were several unsuccessful attempts to invade Britain because it decided Catholicism wasn’t its preferred choice, I think Protestants have a right to be deeply sceptical of Catholicism.
If you’re playing in the religious arena, if it’s your belief the pope is the antichrist, that’s nothing harsher than claiming you’re Gods chosen people or that the world started in 7 days.
The descendants of the colonists had no choice in where they were born. They have no other home. They are not responsible.
They are part of Ireland. Times have changed and we should move on to a multicultural society.
What we have playing out here is tribalism. The left tribally dislike anything connected to the concept of the British empire. It’s not constructive to take sides.
@@RaferJeffersonIII So you would also agree that Catholics have a right to be deeply sceptical of Protestantism, given the history of invasions from English Puritans, Scottish Covenanters and Dutch Princes? Not to mention the history of the Protestant Ascendancy, popularity of the Orange Order, or the fact that Catholics in Ireland weren't granted Emancipation until the 1800s? Only 200 years ago now isn't it?
the greatest political mind n.ireland ever saw and history will remember that the union will never break
