@John_Dabell So glad you’ve got your feed. Of all the things to get lost they had to lose that item!! Hopefully that’s it for problems now and you can enjoy time away
Two things can be true at the same time.
Thing 1: the attack in Belfast was unspeakably horrific and absolutely horrendous.
Thing 2. Masked men burning down houses with children still inside is really awful and should be condemned.
It's not complicated.
Imagine working hard to buy a home, only for thugs to set it on fire while your children are inside watching television.
These families have nothing to do with this conflict. Burning down innocent people's homes is not a protest, it is purely vile and criminal.
This is the kind of thing that was said about the Jews in the 1930s.
It is not hyperbolic to say that degrading an entire culture leads us to a very dark place. Reform are playing with fire right now trying to stop themselves being outflanked by the extremists of Restore.
There are many who will blame the horrific violence in Northern Ireland on uncontrolled migration. Many of us recall the 30 years of sectarian violence there, which was nothing to do with migrants. Violence is the choice of misguided, often bad, people, migrants are their excuse.
Horrendous scenes.
They have been itching for race riots.
Black and brown people have been living in fear for a long time now.
Law abiding citizens just trying to make a life...attacked.
We are not safe anymore. Our safety cannot be guaranteed.
This is on Reform, every elected MP and EVERY single media outlets that has targeted migrants.
Hundreds of loyalists are rampaging through the streets of Belfast in scenes reminiscent of the anti-Catholic programs 50 years ago. The target of the attack has changed but the ideology remains the same - vile racist supremacism dressed up as "security concerns"
Anger isn’t just understandable, it’s the natural reaction to an attack of such brutality.
But using it as an opportunity to burn out the houses of black people is just as antithetical to our values as the knife wielding attacker.
Neither should have any place in our country.
Fascism does not arrive saying “I am fascism.” It arrives saying “law and order,” “border security,” “anti-woke,” “election integrity,” and “national emergency.”
Getting annoyed and upset by murder: normal
Getting annoyed and upset by the murder of white people only: not normal
Getting annoyed and upset only by the murder of white people by non white people: utterly deplorable
We need to unite against violence, not bring more hate and division into the world.
"Hate begets hate; violence begets violence; toughness begets a greater toughness. We must meet the forces of hate with the power of love." - Dr Martin Luther King Jr
Ive seen videos of masked gangs rampaging through streets tonight attacking people's homes. Fucking wankers doing that to people who are terrified and who have done nothing wrong.
Raise the Colours needs shutting down, this from their Facebook site. This is not the great city of Belfast standing strong, it's criminal scum causing disorder and damage. RTC supports it.
This what a Pogrom looks like.
They are attacking the known homes of Foreign Nationals, many of whom work in our schools and hospitals. Absolute scummy filth.
Get them off the streets and behind bars.
