She meets people who voted for a party that is both anti-Gay marriage and anti-abortion even when some don't agree, and discovers that the place is still bitterly divided years after the troubles.
Her investigation plunges her into the bitter politics of Northern Ireland where British and Irish identities coexist with unease

Love that Stacey’s accent went Irish , I thought I was the only person that after 10 seconds around someone with a strong accent I changed my whole voice
-
Does anyone remember the man that rang into the Stephen Nolan show after a woman’s house was damaged by a bonfire, he said “well they shouldn’t have built houses next to a bonfire sight”. Honestly it’s mental here.
-
The fact she’s only been “ allowed “ to go to one concert is astounding to me she’s an adult
-
Poor wee brainwashed Ruth. I feel sorry for her.
-
My god is inclusive, accepting, and loving. Who are you praying to that carries so much hate?
-
She tries to see why people voted DUP, then most DUP voters she interviews mention Sinn Fein more than the DUP themselves. That sums it all up really, most people I've met from NI, unionist or nationalist, they don't care about gay marriage one way or the other. They vote DUP because they're afraid Sinn Fein will become the largest party if they don't.

Damn came here thinking some rich kids threw a massive ass party
-
"What do you think about same sex couples?" "I think they're wrong." "Everyone calls me a homophobe, which isn't true." Then what does she think the word homophobe means?
-
Did you guys noticed how Stacey's accent changed when she spoke to that Irish girl? "There must be lads in Belfast, are you friends with them?"
-
5:55: "try to give a sense of history to the children" Why does something tell me her history lessons are going to be a bit one-sided?
-
Stacey Dooley is a national treasure of the UK. So many young people who wouldn’t necessarily know about the topics she’s covered otherwise
-
I love how they "forget" to mention the UVF.
-
How many DUP members live in council estates?
-
The hate and venom from everyone around those bonfires is repulsive
-
Something oddly sad about this girl. Like her spirit and open mindedness has been crushed. I pity her
-
The irony is that no one from the mainland gave two shits about how this party has kept NI in the dark ages until it affected them... it's sad, it's really fucking sad.
