🚨🔥BREAKING: Police car set on fire in Portadown as disorder breaks out across Northern Ireland
Numerous protests have been taking place.
Chief Reporter @jamesgould23 understands the incident happened within the last half hour.
Police and political leaders are appealing for calm.
Houses have been set on fire in Belfast this evening as unrest continues in the wake of the attempted murder of a man, allegedly by a Sudanese refugee.
Does this woman actually realise who she is in office to represent?!
Michelle O’Neill, the First Minister for Northern Ireland, has sought to reassure the MIGRANT community following the Belfast stabbing attack.
“I say, to all of our migrant community that we have no tolerance for hatred, for division.
This is a society that is welcoming, that is inclusive. We are good people. What happened last night was horrific. People need to separate those things.”
After taking this photo of burned out houses in East Belfast, two local lads scrolled through my phone photo library to ensure I hadn’t captured any faces, telling me “with no animosity, like” to “fuck away off before you get kneecapped”
Genuine Question! Why is ANYONE putting up with her telling us today is not the time to debate immigration? Why is anyone accepting her lies? Never be led by someone who slapped on a hijab and posed with several little girls also in hijabs (see comments). She should be standing up for her community and also these little girls, being a voice to free them from the oppressive force of an ideology that says THEY must cover up to help men avert their lustful gaze. THEY are responsible to hold back the urges of MEN?
That's what she supports. Little girls never being able to feel their hair blowing in the wind. Never having real freedom. Being tasked with the responsibility of ensuring men don't feel attraction (as opposed to the men being expected to just not find children attractive) long before they know what attraction even means.
When someone like me supports those little girls human rights she labels us with derogatory terms. For standing up for children. Then she has the CHEEK to wax lyrical about human rights from some Ivory Tower? Really. Please do FO @moneillsf.
Never take lectures from this shameful excuse for a woman and political leader. How dare she say she feels sympathy for the victim. It's because of her party and other politicians that this happened to this man. Maybe given her background she can normalise grotesque nightmarish violence. But it is NOT normal for someone to be subjected to what that man was and the very "diverse" community she speaks of are very quiet. Deathly quiet. They never speak out about these crimes. Never denouce them.
As for a fair and rules based system. It does not exist. It is lax and deliberately so and NONE of the rules are implemented ever.
Because they simply keep repeating this line, people believe it. Mistaking repetition for truth.
It doesn't matter how many people get harmed or die, it doesn't matter the level of barbarism and cruelty, it doesn't matter if you are scared for your children or they can't play outside. They will keep doling out these tired old lies. Until you exert your power. The power of the people is greater than the people in power. Never forget it! If you do, you'll live or die regretting it. Stand up.
