  • Police have been attacked and petrol bombs thrown in Belfast, after more than a week of disturbances across Northern Ireland.
    More than 50 police officers have been hurt so far in the disorder during the past week. On Wednesday, the violence was concentrated at an interface between loyalist and nationalist areas in west Belfast.
    The violence has been linked to a number of causes including the impact of Brexit, a spate of recent arrests of loyalist paramilitary members and a lack of prosecutions following the flouting of Covid rules at the funeral of a senior republican, that was attended by Sinn Féin politicians.

    I love the way that the BBC conveniently left out the reason for these riots in the first place. They started when Unionists got pissy because of a Republican funeral. They're framing it as if it's "both sides" who started the violence when in actuality, it's the Unionists who started throwing petrol bombs.

      @CastAirLead nonsense. Britain’s colonisation of Ireland is what caused the creation of this divide in the first place. Queen Elizabeth I sending Protestant settlers to Ulster in the 16th century to displace catholic farmers from their land started this crap. Ever since, English interference over the centuries has stoked these fires. Many, many people warned Boris et al that Brexit was likely to cause a resurgence of violence in NI. They were warned about this before the 2016 vote, and multiple times since. They ignored or belittled all these warnings. Now ‘Project Fear’ has become reality.

      I agree 💯, ever since the British government started occupying Ireland way back. But I think the Troubles really started with the Irish Potato Famine in the 19th Century.
      The fallout from the total lack of support from the British still causes anger and outrage today. Which to be fair, is justifiable when you consider how many people suffered and starved.

      As an English guy, I'd be so happy if northern Ireland left the UK to join the republic.
      But then you abandon the loyalists who have a different image of their home.
      I'd be happy for the north to remain (in peace) in the UK.
      But then you have others who aren't happy with that and it's conditions/state.
      No one can win this, someone has to lose unless everyone can *truly* compromise.
      More people are probably gonna die over this. It's sad and bitter.
      No one can accept each others conditions and its only gonna be worse because of the fighting.

      @@NexusGamingRadical we will never bow down to the IRA or Sinn Fein. Our national identity is our birthright and will never surrender, you are correct. Will will not allow our people to be extinguished from the annals of history. We will not allow the history to be rewritten. The IRA were nothing but murdering sectarian scum who held our Nation and our people to ransom. This pandering to the IRA and Sinn Fein continues to this day and the GFA was the worst example of this. Set up only to destroy the Union gradually. It provided the structure with which to dismantle the Union bit by bit. The attacks on our culture have been disgusting and undeniable. Now the Protocol attempts to cut us off economically from the rest of the UK and subjugate us within the realm of the Republic and by extension the EU. We are the most patriotic group of people within the UK and the way the leftie liberal Western media stations have demonised us over the years is nothing short of despicable. Our people fought and died for our Country along with many, many Irishman. The men of the 36th Ulster Division and 17th Irish died together in WW1. To see the media demonise us and put enemies of the state on a pedestal makes me incredibly sad. BLM are the most recent example of these enemies being glorified. What has happened to this country when people who hate this country are seen as more righteous than the Unionist/Loyalist population of NI? We are the men who will die for our Country and fight when the shit hits the fan!

    The fact that you need a news programme to give you background about a supposed part of the UK says it all.
    We in Ireland raised concerns about the possibility of violence from even before the Brexit referendum and this went ignored. The British government clearly does not care for the region or Ireland as a whole, as demonstrated by the constant promise-breaking and back and forth between London and Ireland (both north and south).
    We do not want a return to violence here, the UK government needs to pull its head out of its arse and demand that unionism gets its mobs under control.
