Belfast Far Right Riots 2026 [Mod Note in OP]

Note here that if somebody calls for stricter asylum policies, they are called racist.

I never mention race or religion.

Bogus AS come in all shapes, creeds and colours. Their race or religion is not relevant. What is relevant is that their claim is bogus.

I say that all bogus AS should be removed within a week of arrival.

Yet I am called racist.

We can't have a mature debate until this stops.

It is not racist to call for the removal of bogus AS.

It is nothing to do with race. It is to do with the huge costs that bogus AS impose on taxpayers, €20 billion+ since 1995.

Have the police not come down with proper heavy force to stop this anarchy? Cops knew this was going to happen. Maybe they don't have the resources, but scenes of people's homes being torched by mobs is nothing but anarchy….this has to be met with severe law responses…..

Asylum seekers have a legal right to claim asylum. If the decision is not to grant asylum then yes, they should be removed

Bit ironic considering they're the descendants of the non native scotch planters. If only the locals could have repelled them.

This is the very reason though why there is always sensitivity about reporting of these kinds of incidents. We have people on here complaining all the time that details of a perpetrator's ethnicity or migration status aren't announced at the drop of a hat when time and time again it is demonstrated to us that there are those who simply ride the wave of outrage and use this information to wreak havoc and cause risk to law abiding and peaceful foreign nationals and members of ethnic minorities.

At the end of the day, the reaction to crimes committed by migrants bears far greater risk to other migrants than the reaction to crimes by anyone else. That is a situation created by those who react to these events with violence and intimidation.

They call for honest conversations on migration but their violence and thuggery (including those who happily stoke it online then wash their hands of it) make honest conversation impossible.

The UK government granted asylum to the attacker on a temporary protection status (permission to stay as a refugee or person with humanitarian protection). This period is for five years and the person can apply for indefinite leave to remain closer to the expiration. People granted leave to remain are not failed or bogus asylum seekers.

You saying that Yves' death was a lynching is a disgrace.

You said Yves' death was a lynching….that is the only disgraceful thing….

So, how is it a fact that his death was a lynching? Hint: a lynching involves the actual INTENT to end a human's life. Now, are you going to stand over this claim, that the men who apprehended Yves all meant to end his life?

And there's still a significant chance he'll win the next election. He wants to strip us of our rights and flog the NHS to his masters. People will continue to lap up his lies.

Well, no. There's not much point in "robust policing" if the courts and prisons aren't there to back it up. What is the point of a police officer spending hours building a case for some Judge Nolan to rule that boys will be boys.

I was reading about a case in the UK recently where a man was attacked with a knife. The assailant was arrested and brought before court. He pled guilty and avoided a prison sentence.

People discussing UK politics need to appreciate how devastating the austerity policies of the2010-2015 coalition government were. They cut 21,000 police officers along with legal aid, local government, social care and plenty else. Brexit didn't help but we can lay all of this at the feet of the Conservative Party.

Any info on the identity of the knife attack victim yet? If it turns out he's a Catholic these lads might come down with a severe case of cognitive dissonance. The lad with the hurley and the Gaelic name running to his rescue is probably already a headwreck for them.

People need to stop fixating on this being a loyalists rioting response issue. If this barbaric attack happened in a predominantly nationalist area, there is very likely a similar response. This is NOT a loyalists are pissed issue, or a nationalists are pissed issue…it's a people are pissed issue up north with the dangerous levels of immigration into their communities. They are all singing from the same hymn sheet.

And the rioting and attacking homes and people of color is absolutely not the response needed. This response is utter anarchy that needs to be severely dealt with.
