This is one of the funniest pieces of live radio you’ll ever hear. And the animation adds an extra layer. #Radio #GerryAnderson

Its hard to undersell just how large the demonstration in Belfast was today. It was one of the largest demonstrations i've ever seen in the city.

Belfast ranks 32nd per capita for asylum seekers in the UK. Northern Ireland hosts 2,379 in total. That’s 0.1% of its population. NI is 97% white. Asylum seekers are not “illegal migrants”; they’re going through a legal government process. factcheckni.org/articles/imm…
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? It’s the immigration, stupid.

It’s done! Trump’s name has been YEETED from the Kennedy Center like the failed grifter he is. No more pretending he belongs anywhere near JFK’s legacy. Bye, Donnie. Don’t let the tarp hit your ass on the way out. 🇺🇸

This is the majority of people in Belfast rather than the racist thugs who were burning people out earlier in the week.
Latest: Thousands of people are attending an anti-racism rally in Belfast following days of unrest. Read more: tinyurl.com/kh32wejv

Instead of discussing how Elon Musk is now the world's first trillionaire, we should talk about how he killed hundreds of thousands of people through his dismantling of food and medical aid to poor countries currentaffairs.org/news/how-…

Comedy gold on @FoxNews. Yes, the loyalist paramilitaries that are clearly orchestrating this rioting have always wanted to be Irish. 😆
I have heard some cringeworthy takes on my homeland this week, but this is different level. Staunchly Unionist East Belfast wants Ireland back... apparently. 👀

Ten years ago next week, the Labour MP Jo Cox was stabbed and killed by a white supremacist born in Scotland who hated her support for remaining in the European Union. Farage and his far-right supporters didn’t give a damn.

Northern Ireland does not have an ‘immigration problem’. We have a racism problem.

Excellent thread. We used to call sandwiches a piece when I was a kid in the North.

Listen, if you know nothing about Northern Ireland might I suggest you think twice about going on television to discuss it or deciding to write columns about it? Because some of the rubbish being talked is astounding.

Mehdi Hasan slams Elon Musk, "He is obsessed with finding these cases where he can then amplify far right voices" "He doesn't just do it in England with Tommy Robinson, he does it in German with the AfD, obviously he does it in the US with Twitter" Victoria Derbyshire, "What is he seeking to do?" Mehdi Hasan, "He's seeking to embolden some of the worst far right voices in the Western world" "That's why he's funding so many people all over the place" "This is his agenda. It's a very racist agenda. We see that in the US with the Republican party" "Elon Musk amplifies some of the most neo-nazi voices on Twitter" "You can take the boy out of apartheid South Africa, can you take apartheid South Africa out of the boy?"

Strange that there's no rioting or burning buses in the predominantly nationalist part of Belfast where last night's attempted murder actually took place 🤔

The North of Ireland has the second highest rate of femicide in Europe, but you don't see all these supposed 'concerned citizens' taking to the streets over that, do you? Probably because a lot of these hateful neanderthals are beating their wives behind closed doors themselves.

What a joke!!! As if they would be bringing anything in. Full on racism
The Senegalese 🇸🇳 delegation gets this treatment on arrival in the USA. Full tarmac searches, shoes off, bags turned inside out like criminals. This is straight up humiliation and a disgrace. They’d never put white boys through the same.

Any other organization that dismissed concerns like this only for them to be utterly exposed as true would be facing questions about the future of its leadership. As it is, several confederations have expressed their intention to let this man continue to run the sport.
Gianni Infantino, 2025: "It’s important to clarify this. There is a lot of misconception out there. Everyone will be welcome in Canada, Mexico and the United States for the FIFA World Cup next year." FIFA today: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 👉 🇺🇸 nytimes.com/athletic/7342813…
