Huge turnout in Belfast for an anti-racism protest amid recent racist violence by the far-right.
Belfast residents of all backgrounds have come together to reject hate and stand with Muslims, refugees and minorities. The crowd also expressed solidarity for the victim of Monday's horrific knife attack.
Doing a bit of shopping in Lidl Andersonstown Rd, lovely to see our ethnic community able to shop with their families without fear.
No-one should be living in fear, No-one should be afraid to leave their home or their work place.
I'm proud of the community in which I live โ๏ธ
Nice weekend in Portrush, lovely wee town, lovely people, great host in the B&B.
Junior OO having their parades, no problems with that. Crack on have fun.
But, playing the famine song I draw the line at!
Do fucking better OO, do better!
โWe are now 716 days into a genocide and yet Israel are allowed to participate in footfall tournaments.

"It's baffling to me, how...it is controversial or contentious or objectionable that someone suggests...do you know what maybe let's not play football against them.
Maybe instead of playing a match against them, maybe let's not play a match."
Whats happening in USrael is very scarey for us all.
The amount of influence these bitches have in Ireland is off the scale.
Racism in Ireland is off the scale.
Its ok to kill a shoplifter if they're of colour? I didn't think that carried a death sentence ?

Irish Wheelchair Rugby were drawn against Israel in the European Championship that will take place on May 28. The Irish team plans to protest the match.
Team player Alan Dineen announced that he will boycott the game against Israel and made the following statement:
โI am boycotting the game against Israel because I cannot separate sport from the reality of what is happening in Gaza and Palestine. Through my fundraising work with Aclaรญ Palestine in the Aida Refugee Camp, I have seen first hand the impact that occupation and violence have on peopleโs daily lives. Gaza now has one of the highest numbers of child amputees per capita in the world, with thousands of children having lost one or more limbs.
I believe what is occurring constitutes genocide, as described by numerous human rights organisations and legal experts. Sport is a powerful platform that can create social change, and I believe athletes have a responsibility to take a stand when fundamental human rights are at stake.โ
