Belfast Far Right Riots 2026 [Mod Note in OP]

Yes, a handful will integrate and progress here and fair play to him, wish him all the happiness one could.

However, a fair swathe coming in here have no interest in any of the above and some will go on to commit brutal crimes like Monday night.

There is another important point you make about him - he came at 5 with his mum. Most of the trouble we are getting are with the men who are in their late teenage to early 50s and coming alone. They especially need to be halted and returned.

Paul Embery is sensible:

Another poor attempt to ignore the elephant in the room (uncontrolled immigration) and use a reaction that is completely unrelated to politics as a way to point-score against conservatives. Sickening, tiresome behaviour.

You really do. Nice to see people stand up to that bloated parasite.

Whatever “control” there is it’s not working!!! I’d call that out of control

They keep saying that it's impossible to have a debate. It is because they just keep saying things that are blatantly untrue while screaming victim.

If you think immigration is too high, that's fine. If it's something that occupies a lot of your thinking time, you ought to consider getting involved in politics. We got sick days, weekends and the 40-hour work week because people mobilised to get those things. A load of middle aged men moaning on a forum few people read won't change anything.

Another problem is racism. It's just true and there are several examples in this thread. We have free speech so there's no need for the dreck about "genuine concerns". If you don't like people from a certain region, just be honest. The addiction to victimhood is unnecessary and tedious. It's just as tedious to read slop about helping the native Irish.

If you want immigration levels to plummet, that's fine. It'd be great if you actually did something instead of just expecting the world to contort itself to your desires.

There is though. People like yourself can say it isn't true but everyone else can see it.

I left Ireland and worked abroad for most of my adult life and I welcome legitimate immigrants who come to the country and want to better themselves and be part of our society.

I welcome genuine refugees who have fled places like Syria where there has been horrendous genocidal war for a long time, I welcome Ukrainians who have fled a war zone, I welcome the Doctors and Nurses who help prop up our health system, I recognise the need for people to come here and work and I recognise the need for people to come here for protection but allowing a flood of "fake" refugees is ruining not only Irish peoples lives but the lives of genuine immigrants and refugees..

People coming from safe countries should be returned on the next bus, I work near an IPAS centre and the amount of "Refugees" driving English cars would shock you. These people are economic migrants and nothing more

and I’ll ask you. Have you ever peacefully protested against immigration into Ireland?

The attacker is not an asylum seeker. He was granted asylum by the UK government in 2023

Much like a dangerous road, why does it take a horrific death (or beheading attempt no less) before people are allowed talk about it? Boards.ie has a lot to answer for in this regard as well.

So, you get it. That’s my whole point. You don’t need to have actively protested something to have views and opinions on it.

and yes, plenty people want to protest and do protest on the immigration issue. So what.. that doesn’t mean everyone has to

There isn't. It's just fact. If you don't like the numbers and want them slashed, that's totally fine but it's down to the government and nobody else.

There's nothing wrong with being an economic migrant either.
