The family of the Belfast stabbing victim have released a statement saying - like the family of Henry Nowak last week - that the attack should not be used to "divide people or fuel hostility"
They condemned disorder and praised the "valuable contribution" by migrants

These aren't protests. They're racist riots. And it's time for the government to take them seriously.
The PM should be convening COBRA and setting out a real plan to end this horrific violence and bring communities together.
Now is a time for real leadership.
An event is planned to be hosted in London proudly promoting the sale of land on illegal settlements in the occupied West Bank.
This is obscene. I've called on @london.gov.uk and @yvettecooper-mp.bsky.social to stop the event and for this govt to take real action on illegal settlements.
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.

@impq.bsky.social I absolutely loved @danmersh.bsky.social's (absolutely correct - and it mirrored mine) combination of bewilderment and increasing annoyance at that fucking folk song you played. His almost defeated tone as he said "Why did that happen?!" made me laugh out loud.
I love this album
Ross Greer blasted the BBC this morning over the broadcaster’s framing of racist disorder in Belfast and across Scotland last night 👇
I really hope you give our poetry and music album a chance - just a fiver and all money goes to Rachel who has just got a whopping bill to repair her tour van
i never ask guests to take their shoes off when they come in but i do shave their heads
All I can offer in these dark times is escapism. Music & laughter Me & Antonio down by the schoolyard.
Some of my songs - "Genius" The Guardian
& some of Antonio's - "Unmissable" The Scotsman
& some of us together - "Doesn't need Graffoe" The Independent.
