HOPE not hate
Loading...
Monday’s attack in North Belfast was horrific and our thoughts are with the victim and his family. People are understandably appalled, and are right to be upset and disturbed by such extreme violence in their community.
HOPE not hate
Now that the suspect has been arrested it’s vital that the legal process is allowed to run its course. But there is no justification, none, for exploiting this tragedy to stir up hatred against any community.
HOPE not hate stand in solidarity with the communities of Belfast who are dealing with the violence of the riots, which we sadly expect to continue today.
This came after protests were widely promoted across far right communities online and amplified by figures like Nigel Farage and Elon Musk, and by Tommy Robinson, who cheered the crowds on from Moscow, where he is currently visiting.
It’s the same playbook every time: co-opt the high emotions of local people to whip up hatred and vilify all people of migrant backgrounds.
But what followed last night in both East and West Belfast was organised, targeted, racially motivated violence.
