Possibly best #GoldsmithAvenue street party of recent years. Fabulous weather helped but so did many volunteers to set up, run the activities and dismantle the bl***y bunting. Cake competition & tug-of-war hugely popular. And fun for all from peers to recent refugees.

Nigel’s poster is going viral

So, it turns out that the violent protestors, who Farage & Reform would have us believe were regular members of the public showing justifiable rage, had numerous previous criminal convictions bbc.com/news/articles/c70y84…

Elon musk, an immigrant from Africa, is demonising immigrants from Africa. This is because he is white and they are black. Musk is a white suprematist.

This is what happened in Derry in March when Amy Doherty was murdered by a man. No riots, no burning of people out of their homes. This is what could have happened in Belfast except that the riots in Belfast were fuelled not by a shared humanity but racism bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cgj0…

Recent stabbings in North Belfast that racists didn't riot over

And again. Deflection. Diversion. Obfuscation. This isn't hard. Where is Nigel Farage's condemnation of the violence last night. He's felt able to tweet about fly-tipping this morning. Where is his tweet about innocent women and children being burnt out of their homes.

One of the things that is always overlooked about rioters is that many of them do it because it's fun. The pretended anger, like the affiliation of hooligans to a football club, is just a pretext for creating enjoyable mayhem

Exactly this.... 👇👇👇

My father was stabbed 33 times & had his throat cut from ear to ear by this loyalist UFF murder. Do I blame the entire loyalist community, of course I don’t! Evil is Evil it doesn’t recognise race,creed or colour!!

Just home from dealing with the consequences of tonight's lawlessness. Perhaps some of the English right wing influencers and local politicians enthusing about these protests would explain to children I met why they have no beds to sleep in tonight. Utterly disgusted.

A 72 year old man was savaged stabbed to death in his home in Dungannon last year. There was no rampaging gangs "protecting their communities". Guess why? Because the victim was polish and the murderer was a "local" man. These aren't concerned citizens they're racists.

The Belfast attacker was granted refugee status in 2023 while Suella Braverman was Home Secretary. She’s now in Reform attacking Labour over immigration. If politicians should be accountable for failures in the system, does that include the ones who were running it?

Why are Reform supporters trying to suppress debate about the role their MPs - Suella Braverman and Robert Jenrick - had in allowing the Belfast attacker to remain in the UK. Why are they trying to suppress debate about Nigel Farage's failure to condemn last night's violence.

We're seeing a clear pattern from Reform now. We saw it in Southampton. We've seen it in Belfast. They're all over social media and the airwaves with inflammatory and provocative language. Then when violence occurs, they go to ground.

How is someone supposed to predict anyone will commit a crime? Do we prejudice entire ethnicities/nationalities/religions because of the actions of a few? And would we apply this to US citizens due to their high gun crime rate?

Going to ask again. Where is the condemnation from Nigel Farage and Reform of last night's violence.

The actions of one individual in North Belfast last night were horrendous however they are NOT representative of all people of colour. Many of those accounts that are now agitating for some sort of 'response' don't care about Belfast, or your son's and daughters! #Belfast

Call you old fashioned? Alright, old-fashioned, @PatrickChristys, let us go through the decades you prefer. The 1960s: Ian Brady and Myra Hindley tortured and murdered five children, buried them on Saddleworth Moor, and recorded their screams on tape. The 1970s: Peter Sutcliffe murdered 13 women with hammers and screwdrivers across Yorkshire. Dennis Nilsen began strangling young men in his London flat, dismembering them, boiling their skulls on his stove, and flushing the remains down the drains. The 1980s: Michael Ryan shot 16 people dead in Hungerford. Fred and Rose West were raping, torturing, and dismembering women and girls and burying them under their house in Gloucester. Their own daughter among them. The 1990s: Two 10-year-old boys abducted a toddler from a shopping centre in Liverpool, tortured him, and bludgeoned him to death with bricks and an iron bar. Thomas Hamilton walked into a primary school in Dunblane and shot 16 five-year-olds and their teacher. Harold Shipman was murdering his patients by the hundred. The 2000s: James Watt and his family enslaved a man for a decade, tortured him with baseball bats, air pistols, boiling water, and pit bull attacks, then decapitated him and dumped his body in a lake. Mathew Hardman, 17, murdered a 90-year-old woman, cut out her heart, placed it on a silver platter, and drank her blood. The 2010s: Derrick Bird shot 12 people dead across Cumbria. Thomas Mair shot and stabbed an MP in the street while shouting "Britain first". The 2020s: Jemma Mitchell decapitated her friend, stored the body for two weeks, and drove 200 miles to dump it. Those are the decades you prefer. And for each decade there are 20 other equally horrific incidents. And here is the thing, old fashioned Patrick. According to the Crime Survey for England and Wales, violence, burglary, and car crime have fallen by close to 90% since the mid-1990s. The ONS confirms that violent crime is two-thirds lower now than in the 1990s. The country you live in today is measurably, statistically, dramatically safer than the one you are nostalgic for. That's not an opinion, it's a fact. And I am not even touching Glasgow and its past knife crime epidemic. So, which decade was better, Patrick? Tell us.
