@TalkTV @paulgivan @petercardwell Where is he when all the violence perpetrated by white mean is being carried out? A racist approach just in time for a year long election period.,

Northern Ireland's Eudcation Minister @paulgivan wants protests to remain calm - but he also wants to see answers over the case.
"Those who have the authority have not put in place the changes that need to take place."

This past week, Carla Lockhart stood with masked men who were shouting abuse and slurs in Scarva.
She says they were 'her community' and that she was there to 'calm them down'.
Pity she couldn't have calmed the members of the masked men community who are wrecking Belfast today.

UPDATE: I understand a number of homes have been set alight following disorder at different parts of NI. Several fire appliances are at a blaze close to the Crumlin Road in Belfast. Police tell me another property has just been set alight in the Bute Park area of Dundonald. @BelTel

@GIrwinRacing Don't think so. No one was out protesting when others were subject to extreme violence, recent high profile cases have proved that. As ever the only time these people get riled is when it's brown people. Most violence in this place is perpetrated by white men on women - silence.

@martymac25 No no. Asking our country to unite isn’t the same as “ stand together against the brown person “
Very uneducated and narrow minded response by yourself Martin. Stick to trolling ❤️
English
Isn't clever enough to understand how stupid people like him are being manipulated to believe that "we all need to stand together against the brown person".
Glenn Irwin@GIrwinRacing
If there was ever a time for our country to unite ( which we can see on socials today ) it is now, however with people like you in positions of representing us it’s so easy to see why we are stuck in the past. As you say, this isn’t about anyone’s own ends, including yours! 👇

Still waiting to hear what these issues of concern actually are.
Gavin Robinson@GRobinsonDUP
Violence and disorder is wrong and it is counterproductive. It serves no purpose other than the destruction of neighbourhoods and to turn the focus away from where it should be. Many of us have spoken out before to highlight the issues of concern and we will continue to do so. If you are not prepared to make your views known peacefully and lawfully then you are undermining the cause you are claiming to stand for.

Why is it always public transport that ends up getting targeted?
A Glider bus costs around £750,000. That's three-quarters of a million pounds of public money destroyed, not to mention the disruption for the people who actually rely on it to get around the city.
Just senseless!
The Irish News@irish_news
A Glider bus has been set on fire in east Belfast amid ongoing protests across the city. The Translink vehicle was engulfed in flames on the Newtownards Road as demonstrations were held on Tuesday night. Crowds have been gathering at sites in Belfast following a knife attack in the north of the city.

What a joke Sarah on Good morning Ulster asking the DUP leader if is it good to question the race nationality and immigration status of the person who just tried to behead a man in Belfast.
How many born and bread Northern Ireland people go around trying to behead peope?

I really can't understand why the good people of North Belfast would vote for these multicultural open border ass holes. who willing forget about their nationalist constituents once elected for EU replacement MONEY Sinn Fein at their worst...

@NorthGazza @chrisadonnelly Not a shred of evidence to back up your claims, here wanna buy some magic beans?
English
@chrisadonnelly The country is now awash with so-called 'refugees' who are mostly murderers and rapists. All the pro illegal immigration parties and their pals in the media need to own this.
English
The pogromists ever primed to answer the dog whistle. God help the families cowering in fear in their homes tonight.
Not one of these masked thugs gives a damn about that poor man attacked in north Belfast last night.
English
What are they protesting about exactly? The need to be superior and tell someone what they can and can't do. That's the racist and supremacist mindset in a nutshell

@carlalockhart FFS wise up. How about we tackle the real cause of violence here. White men.

For all those who were screaming there would be public disorder if there was even one check at the border, this one is for you 😡

Colum Eastwood@columeastwood
The horrific scenes in North Belfast should not be used by English, right wing politicians to further their own ends. I don’t ever remember them commenting on any of the other hellish things that community has experienced over the years.

Standing with masked men is fine.
Capt Terence O’Neill@BaronoftheMaine
When I misjudge someone, I happily eat humble pie. This is real, grassroots, on-the-ground politics. There is much to be said about damage inflicted to unionism from this saga. But @carlalockhart has been very harshly misrepresented by many (including myself).

@GirvanSam @News_Letter Talk some ballix. That's quite the level of ignorance particularly when it comes to how the north is governed.
English
@News_Letter I will never understand why anyone would want to be ruled by unelected bureaucrats in Brussels it makes zero sense. Ireland needs to leave the EU. The Irish are second class citizens in their own country.
