They shout loud, especially on here, but the reality is that the racists are in the minority.
This is Belfast!
What an incredible turnout today in response to the shocking racism we have seen on our streets this week.
Belfast stands together. Hate will never win. Solidarity will!

Three of the Filton 4 leave the courthouse to return to HMP Bronzefield and begin their sentences, but the road is immediately blocked by a large crowd who have been listening to the live broadcast of the judgement from outside.

Remember when BBC refused to air the World Cup opening ceremony in Qatar? Can anyone tell me whether they're refusing to air tonight's ceremony from the country arming a genocide, sending a militia out to hunt foreigners in the streets, and kidnapping world leaders?

I wonder what has to happen in the human psyche to be able to inflict so much pain on others. Why do we leave blood in every path we trail?

Watching this feels utterly chilling. This is a Britain becoming more authoritarian because its government is so slavishly devoted to supporting another country's genocidal campaign.
A Miscarriage Of Justice sentencing Palestine Action Activists as terrorists. They Are Not. British Jews serving in IDF are the terrorists but no prosecution against them. Never forgive what Labour Party has done.
We must fight the evil power Israel & Zionists hold in Britain.

"There are undoubtedly many racists within the nationalist community in the north, but it remains striking that this horrific knife attack did not precipitate widespread protests and racist attacks within nationalist and republican communities, but instead triggered further bouts of prejudice-filled riots and assaults on minority communities across many predominantly loyalist districts."

I’ve just read a piece from a high-profile British journalist, which will be widely read, that explores the reasons for the Belfast riots without going into any local dynamics. Too many journalists are acting like Belfast and Southampton are interchangeable. They’re not.
