This clip is taken from an episode called 'The High Ground'. The result of this short conversation, and the general theme of the program being centered around insurgency as a means to achieve freedom, led to the BBC (The British Broadcasting Corporation- Britain's national broadcaster) and Sky TV (a Satellite Broadcaster) putting a ban on showing the episode.
When Sky did show the episode they cut the part about Irish reunification in 2024. In Ireland on RTE (Raidió Teilifís Éireann-Ireland's national broadcaster) the showing of the full episode came with a warning describing the content as "Fictional and Aspirational."
The complete episode was only shown for the first time on the BBC in September 2007, Sky TV soon followed suit and aired the full uncut episode. This was 17 years after the original air-date in the U.S. The full program can now be seen on a number of satellite channels unedited.
This ban covered the area of broadcast/transmission/coverage of the BBC (UK and Ireland), Sky TV (mainly the UK and Ireland at that time, but also including parts of Europe) the 'aspirational notice' placed on the program was by RTE (Ireland).
THANKS!
I cannot believe that it has now been over 25 years since this show first aired.

The Brits are insane and perhaps they need a revolt to fix the problems in their society that lead them to censor Star Trek while tolerating moslems beheading their soldiers on public streets.
No need to thank me
Just another free service I provide.

I watched the show when it first aired. So I feel qualified to help you and your confusion. YES. YOU ARE GETTING OLD.
If anyone else needs an honest opinion about their age, looks or if they look fat in some dress, I am happy to oblige.
The other day they showed one of the most infuriating episodes. An observation post accidentally reveals Starfleet to people at about the US American Indian level of progress, circa 17th Century. Of course, they take him for a god (after violating the Prime Directive in ways that even outdid Kirk).
Picard spent half the episode lamenting and lecturing about the return to religion and the SAVAGERY that comes along with religion and belief in God. I think he called it a “return to the dark ages.”
It was disgusting and insulting.
Called his wife....LOL!
Star Trek The Next Generation Season 3 Episode 12 - The High Ground
Star Trek Trivia Ping,
A lot of Picard is infuriating.
JMS may be an atheist but I thought Babylon 5 was very fair in the religious aspect given the way TV is. Firefly did ok from what I remember.
TNG = Limp-wristed Pinko Trek.
Give me fist swinging and phaser blasting Kirk. The phase 2 episodes are pretty good too.
“in 2015 the NEW United Nations....”
I remember that line from encounter at farpoint, LOL
“Encounter at Farpoint” is the first episode and series premiere of the American science fiction television series Star Trek: The Next Generation, which premiered in syndication on September 28, 1987. It was written by D. C. Fontana and Gene Roddenberry and directed by Corey Allen. Roddenberry was the creator of Star Trek, and Fontana was a writer on the original series.
