Musk is a generationally repulsive monster. But he didn't make the Today Program's Justin Webb say that migrants in NI “have been able to come here and get access to services’ that local people can’t”. He didn't make the BBC head its live coverage of the pogroms with “Belfast Knife Attack Latest”.

Still using X.

More than 525 days after his arrest, Israeli authorities have yet to bring any formal charges against Dr Hussam Abu Safiya. He was classified as an “unlawful combatant”, along with more than 375 medical workers. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/j...

Thrilled to discover I am part of the elite. Hopefully a payrise will follow. The absolute state of this.

This! And also, the politicians making big speeches in Westminster and Stormont have offered the square root of nothing

The DUP councillor who spread a false story about a man with a machete in a park near Ulster Hospital on Wednesday has just shared this. She's posting this like it's an alls-well-that-ends-well kind of story when it's actually that she's not bothered racist thugs drove a family out of Ballybeen.

This is Glen Kane who played a part in kicking a catholic man to death and is trying to rehabilitate himself by attaching himself to the anti immigration crowd.

Anti-fash counter-protests outnumber fash marches all the time and it would be cool if the press made a big deal about it.

Instead of talking about how much money this disreputable dork has, we should be talking about all the children this white supremacist starved to death in Africa because he didn't think dark-skinned people deserved money from the US government—even though he's taken billions.

Aerial PARTIAL view of the anti racist, anti fascist crowd in Belfast right now. City Hall to the left for scale. This - this is the real Belfast. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.

Great to see so many in Belfast telling fascists where to go. Also very important messages about how little has been done by government agencies to help people. So much has been left to the bravery and dedication of voluntary organisations.

Way hay - let’s all celebrate!!!!! Such an advancement for MAN-kind!

Never forget that as Elon Musk became a trillionaire today, it is estimated that 750,000 people have died as a result of his cutting of USAID. The majority of those deaths were children.

This is cute from Australia’s team. Although whether the US lets half of them in is another question…

guy has a trillion dollars, 0 friends, and has never landed a joke. I know a pact with the devil when I see one.

What a vile person. Telling this family not to call for calm because it doesn't suit her agenda. During the troubles shocked families usually called for calm and no revenge despite the terrible things that had happened to their loved ones.

Nice to see some good news.

Obviously racists won't understand a word of this. But it is brilliantly written.

If only governments could work out how give money to people who help rather than groups who destroy lives and property. You'd think it would be fairly simple.

Once again, the community and volunteer sector have been left to pick up the pieces, a sector that is already over stretched and deliberately underfunded. Meanwhile, well funded gangs who claim to represent community and the interest of "ordinary people" are tearing the city apart.

A really important story about how wonderful so much of civil society is in NI, how charity workers and volunteers in groups scrabbling around for pennies to keep the lights on make such a difference. And so profoundly depressing that this work goes unseen in the general image of NI.

a little on the nose for capitalism that the world’s first trillionaire is a nazi conman

“I didn’t get the letters my children wrote for me - that’s all I have from them, the letters that they wrote for me, 3 years ago before I moved here, when I was leaving them. I only got my passport, laptop & uniform- because I have to work” Ugandan student nurse burnt out of her house in Belfast

Rally in Belfast @1pm on Saturday. Together Against Hate.

I'm beginning to think this guy is a bit of a liar.

Don't worry folks. Aslan will sort it all out.

Unfettered migration my arse...

As I wrote at the time of the Ballymena pogroms, I'm old enough to remember when the LVF attacked the home of disabled child because he was insuficciently Protestant. I'm old enough to remember this because it happened in 2024. www.irishexaminer.com/lifestyle-co...

Per most recent figures, net migration to NI *over the past 22 years* has been ~62,000 people. Only 3% of Northern Ireland’s population currently belong to an ethnic minority. Pogroms in Belfast (as with Ballymena last year) are just gutter-level "One Is One Too Many" racism, and nothing else.

The figures for Mid and East Antrim council area, in which Ballymena sits, show a net total of fewer than 5,000 international migrants have settled there this century! Any talk of immigration as a pressure point, or "unfettered", is a complete misnomer. Egregious herrenvolk bollocks!

A man known to locals as being in the local UVF went up the Donegall Road yesterday to warn businesses to close.

This is about to smash the £140k mark. Anaka, PPR, CATU and others have been working relentlessly through this. Making sure people are safe, have food/essentials if they're stuck and getting people beds for the night. Responding to the actions of the worst of us by being the very best of us.

Most people are decent and have a desire to help others when they see them in difficult situations. Please donate if you can.

I can assure anyone who doesn't know Belfast that there is no burning resentment. Most people are happy to be in a diverse society. There are however some hate filled racists waiting for the next excuse to attack anyone they hate. Many of them also hate white people who have an Irish identity.

Your reminder that ethnic minorities in NI represent 3.4% of the population compared to over 12% in Scotland and I think 18%ish in England.

The sheer ignorance and stupidity on display makes me despair. I can't get an appointment with a doctor so let's intimidate doctors so that they decide to leave.

“Some well-known paramilitary figures were seen on the streets during the unrest, but sources say they mainly stayed back and watched as dozens of largely young men, masked and with hoods up, went door to door smashing windows and burning homes.” They were there. Headline is terribly misleading

27 people were made homeless after Tuesday night's violence in Belfast, including children.

The domestic abuse backgrounds of arrested rioters is even starker for Belfast

The houses of ethnic minorities in Belfast didn’t ’go on fire’ last night - as my radio has told me - they were set alight

Last night a DUP councillor put a post on Facebook about a suspicious man in Moat Park (near Ulster Hospital) with a machete. Turned out he was a brown skinned doctor with no machete, walking home from the hospital. Is this the racist shit we're going to be dealing with every day now?

24 hours networks love this type of public disorder. This morning's BBC news report said there was further disorder/protest( 2 very different things but lumped together anyway). They showed N'abbey with a mini riot and some burning or property/vehicles. A deserted city hall and then about 100 ...

We all know that what Israel is doing is barbaric. How could we not. The divide is between those who want to shine a spotlight on its actions and those who want to turn that spotlight off.

I've not seen one single journalist from GB point out that this doesn't happen in nationalist/republican areas. There also some people living in those areas who are racist and anti- immigration but they don't carry out this violence.

BBC News trotting out the usual crap about communities feeling hard done by, seeing people in different clothes ( the horror!) etc.. What about doing a bit on the effect on school kids and families petrified and not going out of their houses, the lost revenue in businesses...?

I see that the Southampton rioters are once again proving to be the kind of decent, law-abiding, women-defending, pleasant stout yeomen of the shire we should be paying attention to.

BBC radio4 news at 6, on Belfast: 1) Kiers response 2) Farages response 3) Gavin Robinson calling for closed border 4) rates at which different ethnicities commit violence with a “evidence is sketchy” disclaimer at the end 5) what’s the ‘security impact’ of migration Loyalist gangs not mentioned

Immigrants & asylum seekers are not our enemies. They are not responsible for the austerity, privatisation, erosion of civic life, thinning of democracy and concentration of power we suffer. But they're being punished for these things. Punished at the behest of the very people who *are* responsible.

Why is The World At One reading out Rupert Lowe's posts on the Northern Ireland attack, at the start of the bulletin? He leads a party that is polling at about 3%. This is not about "censorship": it's about the choices media outlets make concerning which voices to amplify.
