CSP condemns racist hate in Belfast forcing members out of their homes and workplaces
We are appalled by the outbreak of racist violence in Belfast and beyond that has led to physiotherapy staff and students leaving their homes and staying away from work or their place of study.
John Cowman, chief executive of the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy, said:
‘The disgraceful targeting of migrants, fuelled by far-right activists online, is a stain on our society and cannot be allowed to stand.
‘We greatly value our internationally educated members and stand in total solidarity with them during this horrific time.
‘It is unconscionable that communities are being targeted in this way in 2026 and we call on the authorities to clamp down hard on the perpetrators, whether they are on the streets or online.’
This is the third year in a row that there has been racist violence in Northern Ireland.
CSP reps and staff in Northern Ireland are in regular contact with affected members throughout this period, ensuring they are kept informed and supported.
Physio management at the Belfast Trust has been providing assistance to both students and international staff, particularly in relation to transport arrangements and facilitating opportunities to work from home where appropriate.
Ulster University has been offering significant pastoral support to students and will be as flexible as possible in terms of self-study at home, to facilitate lost hours.

Dillon Crawford was jailed today for violence, after Henry Nowark's murder.
He has 19 convictions for battery, robbery, burglary and once broke a partner's front teeth, punched her unconscious and when she woke up told her he had put bleach in her hair.
These are no "patriots".

The Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley has described the public debate around so-called 'two-tier policing' as 'highly polarised' and 'aggressive''
Speaking to our Home Affairs Correspondent Symeon Brown, Rowley said 'officers aren't interested in all that. They just joined because they care about crime fighting and they want to protect people.'
It comes after Henry Nowak, an 18-year-old stabbing victim, was handcuffed by officers who believed his killer's false claim that Nowak had racially abused him.

It feels strange to even have to say this. But.
Burning down houses is not expressing legitimate concerns.

We must name what is happening in Belfast: it is organised racist violence which tramples the wishes of victims and their families.
National security requires us not just to deal with the perpetrators, but with those who fuel it, often aligning with enemies abroad to do so. 👇

For NI its clear. As we develop neighbourhood models of care, rehabilitation, physio and AHP input should be designed in from the start, working alongside primary care, social care and the voluntary and community sector to help people live well at home for longer. @ahpfni
Launching today at #NHSConfedExpo: 5 Principles for Neighbourhood Health
It makes the case to senior leaders that physio must be embedded in every neighbourhood – supporting prevention, recovery, independence and better care closer to home: csp.org.uk/news/2026-06-08-c…

We are appalled by the racist violence and disorder in Belfast that followed the horrific incident earlier in the week.
We must reject the hatred shown on the streets and sewn online by people with no interest in community cohesion.

The actual ‘vibe’ is that awful murders have increased, especially as a result of mass immigration and asylum.
But it’s straightforwardly untrue, as the facts show.

Here’s the problem. The liberal political class wants us to treat atrocities like Belfast as single, random, isolated incidents. “Yes, it’s horrific, but don’t overreact,” they say. “Let the police do their job. Justice will be delivered. Let’s remain united,” and so on.
But the public can see that such incidents *aren’t* random or isolated. They are, in fact, all the consequence of massive state failure in the area of asylum and immigration. All roads lead back there.
That’s why people are angry.. They are sick of the platitudes that get trotted out after each fresh incident. They don’t want to hear them anymore. They know that the decisions of establishment politicians have brought us to this current pass, and they don’t trust those same politicians to fix things, especially when some of them refuse to even recognise that the public’s anger is justified.
There has been a huge vibe shift in recent years. Imagine - God forbid - there were another 7/7. Does anyone think the public response would be anything like as restrained as it was then? We are in really dangerous territory.
The public don’t want flowers and candles and “Don’t let them divide us.” They want someone who says, “I recognise that the state has failed abjectly. We have allowed far too many people to settle in the country without knowing who they truly are. It has disrupted your communities. Your anger is justified. And I will do everything in my power to put things right.”
Any politician unwilling to articulate that message, fully and sincerely, is effectively sanctioning more years of growing social disharmony and discord. Things cannot heal until those in power recognise the extent of the problem and what it will take to fix it. And, on both counts, most of them don’t.
That’s why the next few years are going to be very, very turbulent.

"Very poor white people” are being convinced that “very poor, hard-working brown or Black people” are responsible for the “problems caused by billionaire white men”, Allison Morris, Crime Correspondent at the Belfast Telegraph, says in the wake of the riots that spread through the capital of Northern Ireland overnight.

Those who use social media to incite violence and disorder are breaking the law.
Next week we will lay in Parliament an update to the Online Safety Act requiring services to take quicker action to remove illegal content circulating during times of crisis.

Today we publish the Full Fact Report 2026. Our conclusion: the next UK general election will take place in an information environment unlike any before it—and we’re not ready for it.
Solutions exist. Our Chief Executive Chris Morris sets out what that looks like.

Tackling class based inequality is very first clause Equality Act. 2010 Tory govt implemented most of the Act. But not s1 Equality Act. “Socio-economic duty” should be implemented now. Rightly alongside duty to tackle discrimination on grounds of race, sex etc @BBCNews

Why op are .@BBCNews not providing factual coverage of knife crime? Reporting the political rhetoric isn’t factual reporting. Explain the data on who are most likely to be victims of knife crime and who is likely to commit crime in this country. Or are you no longer informing us?
