Irish Current Affairs

[Mad Eyed Screamer]

There is a picture on the front of The Independent that sums up the demonstrators from last night... kneeling down, flag waving, can of drink in their hand. They have as much political awareness as a slug

I'd prefer a can in their hand over a camera phone tuned on.

We've got this now.....on one hand it just takes some wee dick to use ChatGPT to create a poster and on the other hand, i am again trying to deal with health and social care workers unable to get to work, or too scared to try and travel......have had 2 calls already from clients closing their service for the day

All businesses to close at 11am - NO EXCEPTIONS
What, even the off licenses?

Bloody hell there will be a riot if they do that ;)

 

[AlexWilliamsGloves]

So we're being told to close up and work from home now.

Cos it makes total sense to send everyone home and through those areas experiencing trouble right now....and they are sending kids home from school...surely they would be safer in school?

Mind you, at least they'll be able to get out and join in all the craic :-/

 

[Kirkstall Blue]

Roping in extra police forces today and for the next few days incase anyone decides it’s fun to drag people out of their houses and make little children cry. Disgusting “orchestrated attacks” The victim has lost one of his eyes just terrible for him, it’s nonsense a family with a two month old baby forced out of their home.

I hope they catch the online instigators and lock them up.

Not trying to make light of what is a very serious matter but when it comes to rioting, NI is levels above anywhere else in the UK

Incidentally, does anyone know if there was any related disorder in England last night? There was a list of dozens of different towns and cities doing the rounds yesterday where protests were planned for 7pm last night in addition to the list of all the locations in Northern Ireland but I'm beginning to think it - the list of English locations - was a re-hashed old list from the 2024 riots because I've not heard any reports of any problems this morning

Protests or riots?

Hopefully only the former

Don't hold your breath.

I've never known a camera phone to instigate violence.. record it yes,, start it no

Maybe not the thread for it but I don't see another with any relevance, why is nobody up in arms about a reportedly russian/Ukrainian school girl stabbing 2 pupils and a teacher at plant hill yesterday?

When you say nobody, do you mean on here? I’ve seen the incident reported on all the major news outlets and shit loads about it on Facebook. Rather disturbingly, a lad posted that he was going to do it 20 times worse than yesterday as, in his words, she did a shit job.

I have friends who have chosen to keep their kids away from that school for the foreseeable.

Seen nowt on here about it, and whilst MSN was reporting on it yesterday it's far from the front page today

Different type of immigrant. Doesn't count as much.

I think someone attempting to behead someone and the resulting riots will drown out a girl stabbing three people at a school, especially with the injuries not being bad, relatively speaking. Sounds like it was a girl with issues of jealousy and stabbed a girl because she is prettier than her.

 

[Toney’s bookie]

He is. He is a Scottish national who was living in the same block of flats as his attacker.

A Scot in Northern Ireland is not an immigrant...it's the same country - the UK!

Excellent point.
As an Irish citizen myself I recognise Northern Ireland's occupation and transition into being part of the UK...NOT!

Hopefully they start with Tommy ten names posting from Moscow inciting hatred while also telling us actually Russia isnt our enemy and how great it is there, not the most subtle is he.

It’s an absolute shame mate. My heart goes out to the decent people over there.

As we know, some of the scrotes in society don't need any encouragement to go out and riot. Unfortunately, that's exactly what they're getting from online agitators. Yet it’s the brainwashed scrotes that will end up in prison, not the cunts encouraging them from behind a screen.

Anyone who tries to excuse the behaviour of the scum who were rioting last night needs to take a serious look at themselves, regardless of how disturbing Monday night's incident was.

Surely, as people, we are better than burning out innocent families homes and setting up roadblocks to intimidate people of colour. That is sickening to see.

A bit like the white british guy just locked up for stabbing a Saudi student to death. What do you reckon the news would be if the guy with the brown face would of been doing the stabbing?
