Did you see any tricolours in the Belfast riots? Odd how despite the murder happening in a Catholic area it was the butcher’s apron that was being waved during the riots.

Reference to the butcher's apron is always very telling of the story teller.

Plenty of tricolours on display at the anti-immigration riots in Dublin 2023.

Remember Brighton is a small city with a huge student population. Most actual locals aren't going to those protests (minus a few very rich ones, you know the usual).

Actual locals don't seem to agree with the student (basically what they are) protests..

Around 50 people from my small town, a few miles from Brighton, went to join the anti-racist protest yesterday. They are mostly middle-aged and include several with professional jobs.

I'm told that there were plenty of similar groups from other towns in the area, too.

Well there would be - it’s a different country and it’s their national flag. 🙄

How nice that middle aged professionals are greeted with such favour when joining those kind of protests. Yet when that demographic attend anti immigration protests they are automatically labelled as far right thugs.

Why are the “lefties” never arrested then? Don’t tell me, let me guess - two tier policing? Why was a “leftie” demonstration attended by 20,000 people in Belfast yesterday entirely peaceful?

Um, let me see. Lefties aren't labelled as nazis. All 20,000 of them were the cream of the UK. Nothing to see here occifer.

Most of the footage of protesters I saw showed the protestors were most definitely not all or even mostly student age.

The people who are complaining about being lumped in with racists and the far right because they are anti immigration, with no awareness of the irony, tend to lump anyone who doesn't support anti immigration protests in with TRAs and Green voters. Because while being of the right is a very broad church comprised of all sorts of different views, everyone left of centre has blue hair and is draped in a rainbow flag. Apparantly.

The blog /post the op mentioned is limping it all together though ? Right on one first page

Yes, of course. But a previous poster implied that it's only protestants that are involved in protests against immigration hence the comment about the 'butchers apron'.

Dublin has had anti-immigration riots. Any community that feels their govt doesn't listen to them are liable to protest, whoever they are.

Ah, slapping women is fine as long as the man doing it shares your values.

Wouldn't hurt a fly indeed.

So, in your world most anti-immigrants are slapping women. I hope I never set foot in that place. Just an idea, maybe you should move to somewhere nicer - like Brighton, for instance. A place where the sun shines out of everyone's ars*.

BIossomtoes · 14/06/2026 16:55

Maybe they would listen to them had they not seen supporters of the same cause setting fire to people’s homes earlier in the week. Of course it would help if these people attempted to create a dialogue instead of just piling into someone else’s town.

Have you got more than just the one argument? Belfast was terrible but, once again, don't paint everyone with the same brush just because they don't share your values.

Shh, don’t let on that most of the students have gone home by now.

If it wasn’t for all those pesky students, then Brighton would be a straight up sensible Reform-voting city like, erm, Thurrock. After all, @Northermcharn ’s friend assures us ‘tis so.

I’m sure there are people as such, it makes sense to put accommodation near these areas.

You and @blossomtoes rivalry is one of the most entertaining things on MN! Both of you set in your ways and neither of you giving an inch!

I’d do an AI scrape of everyone going on about wanting to pay more tax and take more asylum seekers on social media and they could have happen. .

The toes poster could do both 🙌 😀
