Cara and Matt (with dog Brio) have just got married at Belfast City Hall.
When the ceremony ended they headed out to join the anti-racism rally.
Cara told us if it hadnโt been her wedding day, she would have been in the middle of it. @BelTel
Belfast ranks 32nd per capita for asylum seekers in the UK.
Northern Ireland hosts 2,379 in total. Thatโs 0.1% of its population.
NI is 97% white.
Asylum seekers are not โillegal migrantsโ; theyโre going through a legal government process.

Belfast houses more asylum seekers per capita than almost any other place in the UK.
One in 200 people in Belfast is an illegal migrant.
Who could possibly have foreseen civil unrest?
Itโs the immigration, stupid.
๐จ THIS is the Britain I fucking LOVE โค๏ธ๐ฌ๐ง
While masked thugs and troublemakers spread fear, petrol bombs and violence across Belfastโฆ one woman showed exactly who we really are.
Ruchira Rangaprasad moved here from India just 3 years ago. She didnโt run. She didnโt hide. She COOKED.
She posted: โIf anybody needs food, I can cook, Orla can deliverโฆ reach out to us.โ
That video blew up. 30 strangers, most of them complete unknowns, stepped up to deliver dozens of nutritious home-cooked meals to families too terrified to leave their homes.๐๐๐๐โค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธ๐๐๐๐ x.com/Reuters/status/2065343โฆ
There's a girl from Belfast who, along with her friend, is offering assistance to minority residents who are afraid to leave their homes to go to the shops or work because of the riots.
Bless them.
