tv The Alex Salmond Show RT April 11, 2019 2:30am-3:01am EDT
2:30 am
was there any particular thing that happened issue was that it made you realize i need to rethink my ninety's on that there were several issues the first one i think was the was the economics went and there's one particular symbolic moment when the james dyson is a great industrial age and he be the great campaigner for breaks isn't he. and he made he said it would work but it would work economically when he took his businesses his h.q. and took them to singapore on the you know he was the poster boy of bricks and suddenly he's going abroad and the same thing happened didn't matter so much but jim ratcliffe the great chemicals manufacturer and when you see these manufacturers he said britain is going to be ok i cited the european union and when they take that businesses overseas before that i thought that for me that hit me in the stomach and the other one is i like alex salmond but i have a great i've a great admirer of alex but i'm a unionists i really believe in the united kingdom and when it hit me that i think
2:31 am
in due course practice it puts the whole united kingdom in jeopardy that also really hurt me i think and this is culpable but i wasn't alone you know not understanding the five hundred years of our history and how that has come back to home and i think the sec to see how to fix it issue the fact that it's you know and i think the prime minister actually i've been told by diving street sources actually how the prime minister was really hurt when she went to northern ireland to free pre months ago and realise what she was what brecht it was doing and intensive these so-called sightings to talk said he taking us any further forward as just perhaps something to let the yeah the e.u. twenty seven know that behind the scenes work is still very long still trying to some agreement to enable that extension to be granted well i think it's more than that i do think mrs may has made a very profound decision until ten days ago she was trying to have a break. see it on tory party terms she was trying to win over the support of the
2:32 am
euro skeptics knowing if she can't take the tory party in the united way to bricks it is going to cause this enormous cleavage she tried and she failed so now she's appealing to the labor brokers the reasons why the labor party support might not come but he is very serious and she's trying to get a united national a vision of bracks it has been no sign yet as far as i can see that it's working but i don't know no i do believe it's serious but it must say that she's now been talking for a week and nothing has come out of it do you think banks it's going to happen peter i think there's going to be a delay and i think it's very important what's going to happen the next forty eight hours it looks to me like britain is going to have to accept a pause i think that's the best thing i went into the house of commons the night before last and you meet these m.p.'s there shattered they commented i want they
2:33 am
want to do the right thing but they've got their constituents they've got their party members they've got the whip's office these are people and i have talking privately to them i realise the agony of the soul but they've been going through and i've gone through the same agony of the so it's a very serious matter and of course it is for the conservative party itself to think breaks it will lead to the eventually break up of their conservative party ingenue carbon and number ten i certainly think mrs may agree except this long pause which is being talked about as we speak there will be an eruption within the conservative party we've been theoretically the opposing party or the split really because it does have two different versions of the world will that put corbin in number ten may be but remember the labor party is equally split and so we are entering very very very turbulent transformative moments in british politics we are indeed peter went thank you. very much indeed you. are see these are northern
2:34 am
islands excited considerable comment and this is what you've had to see scorches says wonderful series of shows from alex so interesting to hear such engaged and formative people dealing with the shambles of a westminster imposed brix it all power to our irish cousins north and south jane says referring to something that was said and i sure last week in relation to the small says people look at him and just feel that the far right has gone too far quite says gene but the fact that the father of the right got so much part in the first place as an issue we need to confront and understand some says it's amazes me how antidemocratic these m.p.'s become if the people don't toe the party line i've never heard them complain about their votes when elected when is sit to go for that sound people are says i find this interview with john shad isn't very informative and also very important create sure thank you people are give real says we did not vote to have a people's vote in scotland reported to stay in the e.u. independent scotland and gavin says the u.k.
2:35 am
m.p.'s have never articulated the impact of rex it many don't have to chop his ear let's conclude our cities our northern island let us join alex in belfast. those who believe that twenty years of peace brought a name to community diversions to take a walk to east belfast the shadow of the cravens of harlem the wolf here five year old from either side painted on just about every warrior for a memorial still the part of militaries who died during the conflict you'll find communities separated by piece walls one on one clear on a mother or a small or this is the reality that the visions of not ended by a peace process takes time but the real diversions are not the first one somebody has a peace walls they're the ones that exist in people's minds no political commentator has followed the last talk to the caves of northern irish politics more closely than of political correspondents even molly he has interviewed everyone who has
2:36 am
been influential in the politics of the province even welcome to the examined show thank you very much alex thank you having me even people who invested a lot in post nor know you quite pessimistic that they'll be returning to post shilling well why is that as a parent as a grandfather i'm very grateful the fact that the violence has gone away i lived through all those dark dark ages it is bottom line is trust as vaporized ether riced in a community between the catholic community the nationalist community and the democratic unionist party broadly speaking that trust has gone and the message from within broad nationalism middle class and working classes have nothing more to do with the democratic unionist party in apportioning executive so the conventional
2:37 am
wisdom at least medium term the peace process depended on power sharing but you don't see it that way that was the engine of peace in all around par sherry bot. there's a sense that nationalism has been so burnt within its experience whereby you had a unionism dedicated on an ongoing basis to fourteen so called parity of esteem a sense of irishness of those who are not unions per se that's why we're in deadlock. now obviously when those the power sharing as personified by in paisley as the first minister of democratic unionist leader martin mcguinness as deputy first minister and leading member should fit into c.m.d. were for the least two parties with the imagination acquired to make that
2:38 am
partnership type of partnership work sadly not what those two men did coming from very very different backgrounds martin mcguinness. a confessed. imperiously. strong evangelist and the republicans and to united aren't they found generosity in the hearts with advancing years i do not see anybody with that capacity to lead in republicanism or in unionism today and now we have a situation whoever the democratic unionist party paisley created universal shouldn't fear dominate irish nationalism in the north is the only prospect of another force a magic which can buying the political arrangements to go. there is nobody within the island or within these islands as far as i can see with the capacity. to
2:39 am
do the damage that has been done we need another george mitchell style chirrup person independently informed to come in here and to on do what went before and start building afresh and i dote on lester's a reconfiguration within the democratic unionist party in terms of leadership and senior personnel i doubt if there is a capacity for nationalism to go back into government with a particular party that talking about george mitchell your term along with the all the other major persona over the last generation the only of the people who came in to help with that we bill clinton or george mitchell burthen really understand nor moment i think george mitchell was the most consummate politician i have ever met he had a very very good brain and he had a very good manner a manner in terms of management of people of differing persuasions we need somebody
2:40 am
2:41 am
the relies on competition so competition means that if you have winning ideas or winning companies you survive if you don't you don't survive just survival of the fittest is competition. a corrupt subtle bank who's willing to finance dodgy deals then crowds out the good company and you end up with a lot of bad companies and a crowd of competition and you end up with a with a with. probably. going to be like you what's this who do. you just put the first one to the finish produce conformable with hundreds. that you'll see this who do. you think it was national park.
2:42 am
the put it to talk a little. bit some what was interesting diplomacy. never but will support the border police one of which you bring your own. choosing into life in this mirror. you. are someone to be me as i would. like you would be to. welcome back not that alice most experienced political commentator is even molly let's rejoin his interview with alex in belfast talk to me about blacks i mean i know you've been cheating some. across the across the problem so discussing northern ireland's position of a new up if there is one how is that affecting the political discourse we are
2:43 am
obsessing with breaks out here and certainly short of a resolution of brecht's it. there is no hope of the british government becoming seriously engaged in talks in terms of restoring devolution or only administration and all that aren't the government realizes that they haven't got the resources they haven't got the energy and the time to dedicate to attempting even to restore par evolution in all of our and we have a secularist it who is deemed right across the community in terms of current bradley by nationalists and by union as to be seen to be a limb doc secrest it really unfamiliar with the workings of this place so i wouldn't be hopeful in the context of the un resolve breck's it that we're going to move forward politically here let's talk about the split will structure and see how
2:44 am
. firmly base that i'm in the democrat unionist party by what slee every account of observer dominating politics at westminster if that probably hasn't been done since of the edward carson and yet may be causing strains among the voting base so they have the strong position in the westminster parliament extracting a high price for the vote. and yet some murmurings among the business community the farming community the perhaps the u.p.a. in the strength i'm not operating in normal its interests i would genuinely be concerned about the attitude a mood within loyalism and i think we want to be very curfew and not to do anything here collectively in terms of actions and use of language which might motivate a provoke people to bring guns back onto the street which brings us to the famed position achieved dominance in the national security
2:45 am
a deal of respectability in terms of the separation of the of the ballot box from the from the bullet and the way that they were one hundred been done before. and yet our duty to inform our board of poor is that the the sort of movers necessary for the own supporters but it's good to keep the unionist community in the slugger we lummi done was taken over the party recently as president she's made several major mystics to be seen walking the streets of new york behind a banner with the slogan england get out of. a banner from a hundred years ago an anachronism of this. rightly so the irish for mr simon covertly said you do represent modern art and speaking like that. the republic of iran as a sophisticated european country now on the world stage. and then
2:46 am
you're faced with that hubris that in chile from mary lou mcdonnell and yet the first. one hundred years of the leader of ever actually who could legitimately claim to have a separation. of career from from the violent struggle and thus to be admired but that's where leadership arises you gotta rise above that and maximize that now she will learn but it might be too late it might be too late already and she's a bright lady trinity college graduate like myself capable postgraduate she's all the resources within her judgment is work comes at the judgement as absence i'm not giving up on her but she needs a lot of counseling and good advice advice a lot of grit her around i have think that the best brains in dublin civil
2:47 am
service and in the civil service in london should be putting their heads together this at this very moment. pre-planning for the changing demographics an emerging situation in northern arm to obviate a situation down the road where we were rerun of one thousand and twelve where we will we will of loyola so the emergence of a caution type figure seeking term port arms into or than our own to become involved than operating we should obviate that situation and that's why change here has to be handled in my opinion sucre fully so meticulously cognizant of the sensitivities of both communities i would be more concerned about the protestant unionist community the loyalist community rather than the republican community i think there's a greater sense of confidence within the republican national some than obtains within some and currently the democratic unionist party are putting
2:48 am
their sense of you unison their sense of the union ahead of the economic well being of the people of northern ireland the deal promoted by trees i'm a trip to europe i'm coming back home was a crock of go at the end of the rainbow for people in northern ireland we would have benefited in men slaves from that the because we would be in within the customs union and will continue as part of the e.u. and i couldn't visit against up by drop the we could easily attracted facebook twitter intel all of these big multinational national companies into places like west belfast into protestant catholic us we have a good learned work for sure most of which are leaving here. my son's generation. went to state schools grammar schools.
2:49 am
hemorrhage from this place we're losing we're losing these young people nonstop for thirty five years we have to get a remedy to bring those people back home and stop the ongoing hemorrhaging from what does it do to opinion no matter what we would look at westminster portraits and see a government and kill some confusion a prime minister in the leadership of power in order knowing what the makes their purse under did a search for nor about who's the best on certain number of us history northerner voted to remain in europe we have a lady who called first minister a woman who scurrilous through use of language refers to human beings as crocodiles two words in my generation have changed the course of history in all that aren't crocodile and breck's it crocodile
2:50 am
a word which fell from the lips of all in foster the former first minister of northern aren't who brand that those who are aspiring to have an irish language acting like you're scottish gallic. she branded the aspirants of that act those who espouse that act as crocodiles she said feed a crocodile and it will keep coming back for more. that has irretrievably incontrovertibly changed the psyche of nationalism that robach that has done more damage than any art or ins or any act of behavior of unionism historically secondly breadth breck's it has compound of the difficulties here it is driven the communities apart the catholic nationalist community very sympathetic to remaining in europe nala known as done well over europe the infrastructure which obtains peace money all of that farmers are saying well we're going to get our money if
2:51 am
europe leaves heavy chiefs flowing in here from europe nonstop who's going to provide the heavy cheese if we leave europe so we're inter milan here is a term we have a leadership in westminster which is inexplicably dislocated from its from a space if you have to judge given political leadership given events given the changes of taking place where is that likely to be or do you argue that will happen as you be a rival united i would almost by osmosis as opposed to by a signal of a if that were to happen it should happen organically i come from a background which shows that this you know in just remain or perceived merit it one life being taken period i'm a father husband a grandfather and a citizen and we all have
2:52 am
a responsibility to act with dignity and be concerned about our brother by those policies and. whatever the way constitutionally is those similarities between the run up to the the i was revolutionary we are a point which briefings could move either way depending on the surgeons are made we would just say we are tells of the history coming round because i am of the opinion that there is sufficient confidence within the broad nationalist republican community that they will not revert to any manifestation of violence they can read the tea leaves they can see the way the wind is blowing they can see they can read the demographics the downside of that is that the protestant unionists community it continues to see estie trying new maritally. the best brains have left northern ireland there
2:53 am
in dubai or in scotland there in london and that generation they just don't want to be identified with the vulgarity of much of unionism so that's the reason why i am concerned about the young protestant loyalist to fees left behind who doesn't really see much to which to aspire i am concerned about that young impatient individual who might. ilya advise you only recourse to the use of arms twi we can't be so careful in the use of language you amen thank you very much and i can't forecast why methyl be a mate in ireland but what i can do is present you with the salmon queer you know i
2:54 am
have far whiskey or music about half of. it was the quick almost goes under the bush mill stuff and alan adams a whole lot of left in alex now barclays in the thank you over here we've got on my other go x. but we have are there. the whole map of europe has been changed but as the delegates subsides and the waters fall short we see the early steeples of for man and tyrone imagine once again. that was winston churchill's really caught from one thousand twenty two he was hardly a disinterested party and he was about to lose his parliamentary seat undone de largely because he was no longer regarded as a trusted friend a violent police i'm a should've taken careful not at the outset of this but i accept buddha she was after all one of the few u.k. politicians to actually campaign in ireland during the twenty six thousand referendum however she didn't and the rest is to make history and all about all of
2:55 am
this we've seen during the series the nature of the blacks it debate itself has accelerated forces a social and economic change which will likely bring the prime minister's pressures union into question much earlier than would otherwise have been the case meanwhile the diversion of public find solace in the solidarity if it should have been partners they are trusted friends of violence the should bali have made clear in dublin this week even the aftermath of a new deal bracks that would only be negotiated of islands and less than mine. however the likelihood is that the prime minister will get asked the political humiliation of a long but is that extension rob the economic dislocation of blacks in the six hundred years of an even a lation ship between these two islands few would have ever thought to witness dublin pleading the continental of them to be generous to london government and to grant the time necessary to save england from its own folly of lacan wallace who
2:56 am
became love the fan of violence after the surrender of to the americans that you ought to if he was still around he might well have his regimental band play an encore of the one of the top and upside down. if there's an irony which will be appreciated by students of history for some will be grief for many other leaf it will be the political end of this prime minister and open to spin and be an all at the show is good bye for now. i think more doogan is an outstanding person because he took on the most powerful
