Julie Walters Unearths Her Irish Family's Struggle Under British Rule | Who Do You Think You Are

❤🇬🇧

I love Julie Walters. She is one of those people I see and immediately brighten up.

Just another example of English barbaric & atotrcious treatment of the Irish people. SHAME ON THEM FOREVER .

Mayo its own local famines in the late 1800's.
So surely anything owned by the Palmer estate in Ireland, where one isn't resident, should be taken back by our state.

Sad, same as today

so sad

And still they teach you in your schools, about those glorious days of rule, and how it’s your destiny to be, superior to me, but if you’ve any kind of mind………..

This history is not much different from what Israel is doing to the Palestinians today. Such a shame that humanity hasn't evolved in any meaningful way in centuries, in spite of all the scientific and technological advances that provide modern day conveniences to those of us who can afford them.

Think of how many stories there are just like that. Living under the whim of some foreign cold-hearted landlord who sucked the wealth out of your country and saw you as an inferior form of life.

So sad. The way they were treated.

Blyme all this went on years ago im english i aint proud of it or ennthink like that i just happen to hav been born here i like irish people alot the only issue i hav woth a few of them is that thay talk about this like it was yesterday blyme just look at the autrositys othe nations dome to each othere

As far as I’m aware the English colonised nearly 90 percent of the world and left devastation for the countries in its wake

Colonialism, illegal settlers, ethnic cleansing, oppression, starvation, deprivation in Ireland ☘️… sounds like Palestine 2025 . Shame on us all 😪

My Favorite English female Actor and made an amazing movie with my fave english actor Michael Caine

it gas to see english people found out the real story of our history, it like dont want to believe it or cant believe it but it sitting right in there face

What British thieving occupiers did in Ireland - and across the globe - is beyond depraved. It makes me nauseous.

Julie's family was a friend of my father's family in Islanaidy, the little road out of islanaidy was walked by my father barefoot to school, hail rain or shine. Julie's family were the same. Mayo is like a magnet to me. I have an uncle buried in Islanaidy cemetery. It's so coincidental that Julie's family moved to Birmingham very close to my aunt Julia O'leary. Avery small world.

Most every country has a similar story. North, Central and South America, Africa and even the European countries depending how far you want to go back in history and if you pick up the paper it continues today.

The Brits are responsible for most of the wars in every part of the world. It's such a pity that they are so ignorant of their history.

Like what is happening to Palestine today, families, kids, being starved. Free Palestine 🇵🇸

The english genocide of the irish is exactly that!!

That house in Dublin was like the Whitehouse.

People live in this days in those circumstances, even in England. The class system is the same.

Bloody Mick's always moaning about the British while living and benefiting from the legacy of the empire

The 13 colonies were 1.6% Catholic on July 3, 1776. I've always wondered to what degree travel restrictions and Yankee attitudes contributed to the suffering. No matter what, hats off to Yankees that gave famine relief. Every creed has what I called "protest ants" when I was a kid. Special mention to the Choctaw. Appreciation for all Americans that suffered resource competition from my Yank-American family.

43 acres with an extended family was small farm.

This is not thought in British schools certainly not Northern Irish Protestant schools.

I think we have enough trouble with people who hark back to their origins... The societal splits are bad enough ,, without digging up new divides and old debts -- Leave the bagage where it belongs , In the past ,
