Hier findet ein Pogrom statt, angeheizt vom reichsten Mann der Welt.

I don't know how Keir Starmer can wake up in the morning, see that pogroms have been taking place under his watch, that they are being fuelled by literal illegal activity on social media, and not make it his entire purpose to stop it. We know you're no politician, but are you not a lawyer?
Media: Stop calling the people setting fire to the homes of people of colour in Belfast “protesters”. This is a pogrom.
We need leaders who can spell out what's happening clearly and with force.
At moments of crisis, leaders have a responsibility to speak to, and for, their country.
The PM should be on the airwaves, telling the stories of the children, teenagers and families who have been burned out of their homes; naming those responsible; and leading a national fightback against them.
