The scenes in Belfast last night were shocking and completely unacceptable.
There is no justification for the violence and disorder that we saw threatening our communities, nor for those who encouraged it, online or elsewhere.
It is clear that people were targeted last night because of their background and I will not tolerate it. Those responsible will feel the full force of the law.
I’ve spoken to the Chief Constable of the Police Service of Northern Ireland to convey my thanks to them and the frontline emergency services for their bravery in keeping people safe. I’ve also spoken to the First Minister and Deputy First Minister to discuss the ongoing situation.
Appealing for calm must be the priority, and that is what I urge now. We must let the police get on with their work.
So we cannot travel to Somalia because of the Somalian people, sound advice.
So if Somalia is so dangerous due to the Somalian people, why are we letting the Somalian people come here?!
Can someone please enlighten me.
@MattCas04807118 There’s a lot commenting ‘racist’ types of opinion, but I’d just like to add….. they are completely RIGHT!
Watch the friendly tonight, re-watch the NZ friendly, and say I’m not wrong!!!!
Patriots - if you are protesting tonight, in Belfast or elsewhere, do NOT give Starmer what he wants.
Stay calm. Keep your heads. Do NOT attack the police.
The state will show you no mercy.
The dangerous ‘far-right’ will be blamed, and your life will be ruined forever.
It will be that brutal. However angry you are feeling now, it is not worth it.
Protest - but do it loudly, do it peacefully.
If the police are being aggressive, record it. Film it. Do not react. Because you will not be shown the same leniency as the officers. You will be charged, you will be sentenced, you will be imprisoned.
We’re all angry.
But you will achieve far more for our cause and country OUTSIDE of prison.
