Its crazy that there are just semi-regular race riots in the UK now

[Mr AntifaBot - AKA The Intolerant Left @_Wrevolution_]

This is what the riots in Belfast have done

A Muslim woman begging a neighbour because she was terrified rioters were going to hurt her kids

We have become a nation of hate

A country full of monsters who prey on children

We're fucking disgusting

[Alison Hopkins @Hopkins_Alison]

Why the hell is the @BBCNews describing hooded masked men as protestors?

They’re nothing of the sort, they’re vicious evil hooligans.

[🇬🇧King 🇬🇧 @King0243_PJC]

After Belfast, I’ve been looking at some of the most extreme accounts flooding UK discussions.

A striking number appear to have little or no genuine connection to the communities they’re commenting on, yet they’re relentlessly amplifying division, anger and far-right narratives.

Meanwhile, X’s algorithm rewards outrage because outrage drives engagement.

At what point do we stop pretending this is an organic public conversation and start asking whether anonymous networks, bots, and location-masked accounts are helping inflame tensions in Britain?

The Government cannot keep ignoring the role social media platforms play in amplifying social unrest. #Belfast

they truly just hate us. man isn't even a refugee lol.

what a Freudian slip instead of saying referee.

The shock from white people at pogroms taking place is driving me fucking insane. This is the third consecutive summer of pogroms and lynchings and the months in between have been marked by racist attack after racist attack. We weren’t lying when we told you what was coming.

[John Smith (son of Harry Leslie Smith) @Harryslaststand]

Let's be honest with ourselves but the BBC did much of the heavy lifting to normalise Nigel Farage and his racism.

[Marl Karx @BareLeft]

The UK is destroying its own civil liberties and testing the legal system to breaking point, just to defend Israel so it can do these things with impunity.

[Lee (Greater) @shortmagsmle]

Accidentally re-inventing “thinking” from first principles

[Leyla Hamed @leylahamed]

FIFA stripped Indonesia of the U20 World Cup after it refused to guarantee Israel could be hosted and compete.

[Covie @covie_93]

BREAKING: FIFA peace prize recipient is bombing Iran a day before the start of the FIFA World Cup.

[Ben 🇬🇧 @BenInRushcliffe]

A 2 month old pulled from a burning house last night. Deliberately done by the "save our kids" lot. Braindead.

[David Jamieson @David_Jamieson7]

Summer pogroms are becoming a tradition in the UK, and are clearly planned.

Reports from Belfast say the homes of known non-whites were systematically visited and attacked - which suggests information was gathered in advance.

This is not just spontaneous anger.

[Ishaan Tharoor @ishaantharoor]

FIFA's president can invent a farcical peace prize to flatter the ego of the president of the United States and spend months pandering to his political project, but Haiti's national team can't acknowledge their national struggle for independence because it's too "political"

[DOZA🧐 @lil_doza]

I’m not justifying the brutal stabbing in belfast AT ALL but it’s deceitful not to tell the world, the sudanese chap and the Irish chap were drug buddies.

They knew each other.

[Ounka @OunkaOnX]

Imagine advertising luxury villas in Nazi Germany during Holocaust. That's the level of tone-deaf we're witnessing

[Owen Jones @owenjonesjourno]

Absolutely wild how right-wing commentators and politicians are just completely ignoring the attempted pogrom in Belfast.

Families with kids rescued from homes set on fire.

And these same people who smear peaceful protests against genocide as hate marches say NOTHING

[Ash Sarkar @AyoCaesar]

It's out of control, and there's no political leadership. Why isn't the Prime Minister speaking out against the twisted logic that blames people, entirely unconnected with the crime, solely based on the colour of their skin?

[Mukhtar @I_amMukhtar]

Reform UK and Nigel Farage are quiet about the Belfast riots they helped whip up.

There were people in balaclavas and guns stopping cars looking for Black and Brown people.
