[Only In Boston @OnlyInBOS]

Scottish World Cup fans drank so much beer in Boston that:

🍺 Sam Adams ran out of Boston Lager
🍺 An emergency shipment was needed
🍺 One bar sold 3x its St. Patrick's Day sales
🍺 Another sold out entirely

The Tartan Army is undefeated off the field.

🇮🇪 🇬🇧 | Do you know who is behind the riots in Belfast?

You've seen the videos: houses burning and migrants being attacked.

But what the headlines keep missing is who is behind the violence.

They are more than far-right. They are loyalists — loyal to the British Crown, who do not see the six counties of the North as part of Ireland at all. And, in their own words, they are just “getting the foreigners out.”

They move in step with the wider British far right. Tommy Robinson and Reform UK have pushed for protests across the region. On the ground, the method is fear: immigrant families’ addresses shared online, shops set alight, doors kicked in.

This violence has deep roots. Northern Ireland was carved out of Ireland through British partition in 1921, six counties kept under London’s rule. Loyalists fought to stay British, while republicans fought for a united Ireland.

“The Troubles” killed more than 3,500 people before the 1998 Good Friday Agreement. And the same loyalism that once burned out Republican neighborhoods is now turning on migrants.

As migrants are chased through the streets, the Northern Ireland Fire and Rescue Service responded to 62 incidents in just five hours on the first night. Three houses, a supermarket, and a city bus were set alight.

And make no mistake, in a few weeks when marching season rolls around those burning "foreigners" out of their homes now, will revert back to attacking and hunting taigs to celebrate their rich cultural heritage - racist scum

[Marc O'Reachtaire @o_reachtaire]

Ulster Unioists being anti illegal immigration is a level if irony beyond them.

My boys never disappoint @KNEECAPCEOL ❤️🙏

Kneecap’s official statement on the situation in Belfast.

[Irishmonk @castlvillageman]

the "loyalists" came by boat without permission.

[Tory Fibs @ToryFibs]

• Thugs in Belfast tonight operating a hit list of addresses to target because the people inside are non-white.

• This is exactly what they did in August 1969 when they targeted addresses that were Catholic

It’s the same hate.

[Sarah @Sarahjdublin]

The absolute irony of English people being mad about ‘immigrants invading Ireland’

[Sean Devlin @SeanDev50409859]

Unionism was complaining about the £150,000 Irish signage at grand central station when loyalist thugs burn a bus worth £800,000 so I don’t want to hear about the cost of Irish signage again

[Barry Malone @malonebarry]

Listen, if you know nothing about Northern Ireland might I suggest you think twice about going on television to discuss it or deciding to write columns about it? Because some of the rubbish being talked is astounding.

[Gerry Adams @GerryAdamsSF]

Last nights incident in Belfast is no excuse for tonights rascist attacks. Rascists are exploiting mostly young people without thought for the consequences. People deserve better. Say no to rascism.

no one knows my next move. not even me

[Wat_the_deuce 🍀🇮🇪☘️ 2 @wat_thee_deuce_]

Bombay Street, Belfast 1969 people burnt out of their homes for being a different religion.
Tonight, people are being burnt out of their homes for being a different nationality.

[Ryan Cullen @RyanCullen90]

So after all that the 'British Hero' was Catholic.
Well when they finish burning out buses & homes, it'll be back to burning tricolours on Bonfires by July 11th.
Stupid Hypocritical bastards

[The Irish News @irish_news]

Residents had to be evacuated from their homes in east Belfast following fires.

Northern Ireland Fire and Rescue Service officers attended the scene at Lendrick Street on Tuesday night.
