Catalan in Ireland. Endavant les atxes!

[Zarah Sultana MP @zarahsultana]

From Southport to Belfast, we keep seeing the same pattern: a terrible crime, followed by racist mobs attacking black and brown people who had nothing to do with it.

These are pogroms.

The politicians and media figures who spent years demonising migrants and inflaming racial hatred have blood on their hands.

We must stand together against this hatred and organise against this fascism.

Arrest the rioters.

Arrest the arsonists.

Arrest the politicians who incited the riots.

Enough is enough.

[Bushra Shaikh @Bushra1Shaikh]

Huge respect to the wider Irish community who helped defend and provide support to the several perceived migrant families targeted in Belfast last night.

Shame on the right-wing agitators and politicians who encouraged such intimidation and violence.

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

When politicians demonise migrants and call for "pure, cold rage", people listen.

My statement on the sickening far-right violence in Belfast.

[Sorcha Eastwood MP @SorchaEastwood]

A child being rushed from a burning building by a riot police officer into a police landrover as everything goes up in flames.

I hope those who fanned the flames are content with themselves. Because they knew this violence was coming. You can't light the touch paper and expect us to believe you when you walk away and say "how awful".

How some politicians in Northern Ireland have conducted themselves in the last days, months and years has in huge part contributed to this. Absolutely disgusting.

[Jane Bradley @jane__bradley]

Northern Ireland was dubbed the "UK's most dangerous place to be a woman" just two months ago.

30 women have been violently killed since 2020.

An Irish man murdered his pregnant girlfriend and left her facedown in a dog bowl as a final humiliation

Where were the rioters then?

[Daniel Lambert @dlLambo]

A 72 year old man was savaged stabbed to death in his home in Dungannon last year.

There was no rampaging gangs "protecting their communities".

Guess why?

Because the victim was polish and the murderer was a "local" man.

These aren't concerned citizens they're racists.

[Próinsias Ó Maolchluiche✊🇮🇪✊ @madadh]

This is loyalism, this is the right wing, this is fascism! Any Irish person who stands with them, remember they have consistently burnt out Irish citizens since the inception of the 6 county state, and they will be burning our country's flag on their bonfires in a cple of weeks!

[Saul Staniforth @SaulStaniforth]

.@ClaireHanna: "Last week, in a very high profile case, the murder of Natalie McNally, the judge.. talked about a frenzied knife attack, he talked about wounds so bad the cause of death was unable to to be determined. There were no riots over the perpetrator of that brutal crime"

[Paul Gosling @PaulGosling1]

I'm a white migrant to Northern Ireland. If I were a non-white migrant or born citizen here, working in health or social care, I would be seriously consider my future here. This is a crisis not just for the character of our society, but also for our core public services.

[Kevin Schofield @KevinASchofield]

NEW Keir Starmer: "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.”

Esto no es la Alemania nazi de los años 40, es el norte de Irlanda ocupada, donde racistas colonos británicos han perpetrado un pogromo y han ido puerta por puerta atacando casas de inmigrantes, quemándolas con familias dentro.

Este fascismo no nace como los hongos, son los medios de comunicación y sus amos capitalistas quienes lo fomentan cada día, para que la población culpe a los de más abajo que ellos, en vez de mirar hacia arriba, hacia la banda de oligarcas pederastas de la red Epstein que nos gobiernan... solo fíjense como no hubo disturbios algunos con el escándalo de Epstein y los medios rápidamente enterraron el tema.

El fascismo se nutre del miedo, es algo muy antiguo, se utilizó en la Alemania nazi o en el genocidio de Ruanda, donde día tras día en la infame Radio de las Mil Colinas decían: "vendrán a por ti", "quieren quitarte todo lo que tienes", "o los matas tú o te matarán a ti".... es el mismo modus operandi, crear inseguridad, crear miedo, crear un caldo de cultivo que justifique la masacre y poder implantar un estado de terror.

[ChuckAmach @ChuckAmach]

It should be noted all the Irish parts of Belfast remain quiet and calm and our new communities are safe and sound - all the trouble - as usual - is in the areas of Belfast populated by Scottish/British immigrant planters whose ancestors invaded Ireland and stole our land.

[ChuckAmach @ChuckAmach]

Some tremendous leadership in Belfast today from youth organisations. This is how the Irish community in Belfast makes its stand.
No Pasaran!

[Farrukh @implausibleblog]

Mehdi Hasan on the Belfast attack,

"As far as we know this person was here legally as someone who was approved by the then Conservative government"

"He's from Sudan. Most people would agree people fleeing from Sudan are genuine refugees"

"Whatever your politics we can agree there is a genocide going on in Sudan"

"That doesn't excuse the horrific crime that he committed, obviously"

"But the idea that we suddenly reduce this to illegal immigration"

"And Elon Musk pushing this is absurd, because Musk was an immigrant to the Unites States"

"His own brother claimed that they were both illegal immigrants at one point"

"People exploiting this for political gain.. Making everything about immigration.. Like the murder of Henry Nowak"

"The person who killed Henry Nowak was born in Britain. His father was born in Britain. But that's been made an immigration story as well"

[Zoe Gardner @ZoeJardiniere]

Dress it up however you like - this racist violence has been deliberately whipped up by far right politicians & their cowardly wannabes in the supposed mainstream.

You are either fighting against the anti-migrant narrative or you are with these thugs.

[Supertanskiii @supertanskiii]

Domestic violence rates in Northern Ireland are VERY high, one in five of all recorded crimes.

A streamer from NI was recently jailed for brutally murdering his pregnant girlfriend. He left her face down in a dog bowl.

No riots

Remember this as the far right mobs assemble.

Mehdi Hasan slams Elon Musk, "He is obsessed with finding these cases where he can then amplify far right voices"

"He doesn't just do it in England with Tommy Robinson, he does it in German with the AfD, obviously he does it in the US with Twitter"

Victoria Derbyshire, "What is he seeking to do?"

Mehdi Hasan, "He's seeking to embolden some of the worst far right voices in the Western world"

"That's why he's funding so many people all over the place"

"This is his agenda. It's a very racist agenda. We see that in the US with the Republican party"

"Elon Musk amplifies some of the most neo-nazi voices on Twitter"

"You can take the boy out of apartheid South Africa, can you take apartheid South Africa out of the boy?"
