Let’s not fall for the lies about the North of Ireland.
These racist pogroms are taking place largely in loyalist areas and are being driven by reactionary elements of the British settler community. They have inherited the same racist and reactionary politics that have long been used to divide working people.
The ruling class has always needed immigration to keep the economy functioning, while simultaneously demonising migrants to create competition and resentment within the working class. The goal is simple: ensure that people’s anger is directed downwards or sideways at those with less power, rather than upwards at those who hold it.
Even these numbwits are not dumb enough to blame a whole community for the actions of one man. They are just using it as an excuse to act out all of their racist fantasies that are inherent in all settler colonial communities.
The same fascist thugs behind the riots in Belfast last night were also behind the murders of these 3 little white boys, The Quinn Brothers, simply because they were catholic.
These people have been burning out innocent families in the north of Ireland for as long as I’ve been alive. And mostly white, Christian families at that. Before a black face was ever seen in Belfast there were plenty of black hearts
A message to Irish Nationalists and Republicans on this platform. A certain high profile court case is about to begin. Do not under any circumstances comment about it in any fashion until it is over and a decision is reached. 🫵✅📢📢
We are at a point in Gaza where our genocide goes unnoticed as a routine event, and the daily massacres fail to make any news headlines. The world has simply normalized and tolerated our annihilation.
78 years ago, 800,000 Palestinians were expelled from their homes. Britain made it possible.
Today, Israel is committing genocide in Gaza. Britain made it possible.
78 years of the Nakba - and 78 years of British complicity in crimes against the Palestinian people.
RTÉ and other public service broadcasters in Slovenia and Spain will not show the Eurovision Song Contest this week as they boycott the event over Israel's participation.

I don’t think people are taking what’s happening in Lebanon seriously enough. 40 people were massacred by lsrael today, including children. 40 people. DURING A CEASEFIRE. Where’s the outrage?
The Orange Order has been marching through Catholic areas in an attempt to intimidate the nationalist community for literally centuries. And I've never heard a politician calling for the parades to be banned.
If Keir Starmer bans Pro Palestinian marches as they allegedly hurt the feelings of British Jews, then he must also ban orange order marches in Scotland and the North of Ireland, to ensure the Catholic community are no longer actually terrorised by Sectarian anti-catholic bigots
