Not to try and make this look like a youtube comments section, but... I think it would have been useful (and not that wander-off-the-pathy) to mention that, even using the term Ulster (of which Northern Ireland is about a 2/3rds subset), let alone its flag, to represent Northern Ireland, is pretty broken.

2019-06-24 08:26:09 +0000 UTCI'm from Northern Ireland and I didn't even know some of this stuff. I'd be surprised if more than 20% of the population knew what the red hand is supposed to signify. I'd never heard that story in my life until now. My parents are direct descendants of two of the the families named on screen at that part of the video and I still hadn't heard the story of the hand. β

2019-06-19 06:50:32 +0000 UTC2 deliberate misspellings at 0:48 on newspaper? I understand the brand name, but why misspell Belfast?

2019-06-18 19:31:39 +0000 UTCI love the stories of 'official' flags within the UK. We should never forget that the first 'official' Welsh flag was this monster in 1953 - https://www.crwflags.com/fotw/images/g/gb-w1953.gif

2019-06-18 17:39:52 +0000 UTCSt Patrick's Saltire may have been taken from the coat of arms of the Geraldines (FitzGerald), an Anglo-Norman/Hiberno-Norman family. I think its exact origin is disputed (especially as Ireland was represented by a harp until the eighteenth century), but using it for the Union Jack makes sense visually rather than trying to add the Red Hand or making the background yellow.

2019-06-18 17:36:50 +0000 UTCI've always been confused about how St Patrick's cross fits into the mix, anyone know?

2019-06-18 16:54:00 +0000 UTCHah, I really liked how this was put together. When discussing anything about Northern Ireland it's incredibly easy to get pulled off to complicated tangents. Well done.
