This post is drained of contextual meaning. ‘Unrest’ ‘anti-immigration demonstrations’?
Not really.
Unrest = orchestrated loyalist mob.
& these weren’t ’demonstrations’ they were thugs attempting a racist pogrom, kicking in doors & forcing people out of their homes based on the colour of their skin
A shocking and shameful night in Belfast; a racist pogrom - no other terms can (or should) describe it.

This is so depressing. These were not community protests, they were pogroms led by thugs, enabled by reckless racist politicians in NI and London.

Shocking interview w/ DUP’s Carla Lockhart on BBC Radio 4 rnow
Refuses to describe the violence in Belfast as thuggery, then attacks media for being asked about why she was standing next to masked loyalists the other day.
