'I needed to learn something about the history of my country'
He said his"rude awakening" came after Bloody Sunday in Derry in January 1972, when he realised he needed to"learn something about the history of my country". Thirteen people were shot dead and at least 15 injured that day, when members of the army's Parachute Regiment opened fire on civil rights demonstrators in the Bogside - a mostly Catholic part of Londonderry.But he was living in the US when, 26 years later, the Good Friday Agreement was reached - something he described as"an extraordinary achievement".Some fear the agreement could be put at risk by the politics of Brexit, and the complications it has brought to Northern Ireland.
"...On the world stage, when you see what's happening in Ukraine and stuff and there's a politician talking about [how] we have to get our sausages in from Britain into Belfast, it's like, come on, seriously is this where we're at?" He called for Northern Ireland's politicians, meanwhile, to get back to work, saying:"They're representing the people of the North of Ireland - get back to work. You're drawing the salary still."
Unlikely. Support for remaining in union is surprisingly high. Probably because you'd not swap the UK economy for the Irish one.
Didn’t he also think he can kill any black man he wants ?
BethRigby Thanks to Brexit, it is now plausibly possible. And God knows, the good people of NI will be better with it, leaving this sinking dinghy called U.K.
Ireland is within the British Isles always will be, however the Ireland has two individual countries wanting there own thing if they United without squabbles it'd be all good only the people can make that happen, they will one day, but the damage will never be repaired.
BethRigby He’s an actor!🙄
BethRigby No deal
BethRigby True voice of a actor - acting ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
BethRigby 🤞
BethRigby Is the owner of SKY Roman English or Scandinavian English?

Great Britian is melting. At the end of the day Ireland and UK will be slave of US 😀. Divide and conquer.
BethRigby The United and the kingdom ❤️.
BethRigby LedByApeBrains is the problem with evolution to unstuck ourspecies from delusions... 🤔
BethRigby Do it, will be fun to watch it kick off again when the loyalists throw a wobbly.
BethRigby Liam Neeson, the 70-year-old Northern Irish actor, anticipates a united Ireland in his lifetime 🍀 Speaking with Sky’s Beth Rigby Interviews, Neeson shared his views on unification, emphasizing the need to appease all parties. This comes as he promotes his 100th film, Marlowe 🎬
It goes without saying that we'd happily welcome the Republic back into our United Kingdom with open arms. Irexit is clearly the way to go...
BethRigby Why would anyone care what he thinks about political issues?
BethRigby Let's go!
BethRigby Brexit sped it up a generation & not a shot fired, thanks for that
BethRigby I think the days of the UK are ending Scotland wants out, and Ireland wants back together. It would be great to see the wrongs of the past put right.
Liam is a bad drunk met him once in NY stumbling and everything. He’s the sort that gets sleepy when drunk hahaha
BethRigby They will be glad to be rid of Tory scummy Britain!
Who cares
PatriciadeLion1
the uk gov recognised this possibility some time ago but has to be non-violent democratic will of people, only question for all sides being when have a reunification ref, probably not for a decade+ at least, way things are
Agreed. Brexit clinched it
Is he going to live way past 100? 🤔
Wrong again Liam
No fool like an old fool...same age as me...no chance!

How long are you thinking on living Liam
Must be the worst endorsement I've ever seen
Let's hope so ....it just makes a lot of sense for everyone......well almost
Simple demographics. The Catholic population now outnumber the protestants so a referendum would result in unification. The only unknown is other religious groups that also now make up a sizeable percentage. They would likely want to retain British citizenship
whos going to put the 40 billion a year it would cost us uk put in over 30 billion stirling a year get back 20 our social welfare sytem much better in republic so would cost us even more
Good
Has it happened on The Simpsons yet?
But the whole reason we have Northern Ireland in the first place was because they wanted to stay within the UK instead of go with the south 🤨
Shouldn’t think so. The Irish Army couldn’t deal with the security situation if it did.

He can shut up
Liam treating the situation like he’s still in character, he’s Northern & his kidnapped daughter is Southern… 🙃
He's going to make it happen with his very particular set of skills.
It will happen but not soon. More needs to be done.
Think he means minority white
pissing in the wind with that liam.
And will be part of UK?!
British colonial interference has divided Ireland and Cyprus. Justice must prevail. British interference must end.
He speaks a lot of sense tbf 🇮🇪tal32
Bloody hell he'll be in the Guinness book of records.
It just might happen !
Not a hope in hell. He’s also 70 ffs.
Good TRASH COuntey
It does make sense, colonialism is long gone and Queen Elizabeth is unfortunately gone as well! 😞
What a crock of shite!
he's a good actor hahahahaa
Ireland is a great place, just have peace people, peace.
Please leave Liam out of any negotiations when the British call the Border poll and plot their withdrawal....just to be on the safe side....🤔☘️
Unlikely as no one lives as long as Methuselah these days
Thank the tories for that 😂 the only positive of Brexit will be a united Ireland!
Not his lifetime or mine, but maybe my kids 🤔
Bro you're 70, it ain't going to happen.
L'Évolution fera que du Bien!
Just spoke to my m8 in bellfast about this and he’s just put the phone down on me
Fik mick
I don't think so
