Belfast Woman PERFECTLY Explains The Riots

Hi guys, now I've been doing my best to try and explain what's happening in Belfast in regards to these riots.Who's behind them, the motivation and what they hope to achieve.Now I want to show you this clip instead of a lady who lives in Northern Ireland and is able to explain it much better than I can.And she explains it perfectly as to who's behind this and what they want to achieve.Have a listen.

These people are not Irish, or at least they don't identify as Irish.They don't call themselves Irish.They don't believe that they live in Ireland.They are British loyalists, loyal to the King of England.They are living in what they consider to be British territory in Northern Ireland.The second thing is that this is not the same as when protests or riots even erupt in England.

This is action that is sanctioned and directed by community leaders.Those of us who grew up here or who have spent Any real time in Belfast when they saw the flyer yesterday advising of the road closures they knew exactly what was going to happen last night.See on the bottom of the flyer there is a sentence that gives it all away and the sentence says all businesses are to close by 5 30 p .m no excuses.So this is not a suggestion from a group of protesters this is an order from community leaders.So whilst the streets of Belfast were full of masked men and youths hunting, people of colour on the streets of Belfast last night, burning out cars and houses, attacking people in their homes, having small children fleeing into the back of police Land Rovers to escape attacks from inside their own community.

There were also many people in Belfast hunkered down, hiding in their homes.There are many people in Belfast who do not support this, do not condone it, and would denounce it if they feltsafe to do so.Despite that sort of unsaid threat, there is a responsibility in these communities to call out this behaviour and to say not in our name.I grew up in East Belfast and the racism that is embedded in some of those communities is nothing new to me.It's part of a hangover of occupation and invasion of the British into Ireland.

I cannot imagine what it's like to be living in East Belfast right now.Absolutely horrifying and terrifying to witness.Solidarity with everybody in Belfast who was fearing for their lives last night.Absolutely horrendous.Carry on.

Brilliant, absolutely brilliant.Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find the original source, so I can't give credit to the lady.If somebody can find it, please send me a message and I'll give her credit.But what she said here is pretty much what I've been saying as well.This is not grassroots.This is not people responding to a particular attack.

This is organised, as she mentioned, community organisers.Now, for people who don't know what she's talking about, of course, is loyalist paramilitaries.The people who used to be involved in terrorism in the past, their kids or their descendants or even them themselves are organizing criminal gangs in Belfast in particular.They have moved away from terrorism to petty crime and organized crime, drug running, drug dealing.They have made a lot of money since the end of the Troubles in criminality.And In order to maintain order over the community, they use fear.

You saw it in, let me see if I can bring it back up, there we go.All businesses must close at 5 .30 tonight, no excuses.Like, can you imagine any other situation where protesters tell business owners you have to close?Once again, and she made the perfect point that this would not happen in GB.This would not happen in England, Scotland or Wales.Can you imagine if protesters told business owners you need to close?

What do you think the reaction from politicians would be, either on the left or on the right?They would condemn it straight away.But it's not being condemned by politicians, well some politicians in Northern Ireland, but most politicians, or a lot of politicians I should say, are avoiding this, especially Unionist politicians.Because they know exactly who is responsible here, but they're afraid to call them out.They're terrified.It needs to be called out.

This is terrorism.This is the leftover of the Troubles.Former terrorists who are now gangsters.And they're holding Northern Ireland back and they're instructing youths who have nothing to do, who want to get involved in trouble, telling them what to do.And as she had pointed out in this flyer that was sent out on social media, you know, everything starts at seven o 'clock and it gave a list of addresses for people to be at.You have to be here to organise this protest.

This is not grassroots.This is top down.And the people who are doing this are not interested.They don't care about immigration.They care about stamping their authority.And as I've mentioned before on this channel, stories of asylum seekers having to negotiate with these community leaders in order to get access to housing.

Because if they don't, then they'll be burnt out or they'll be intimidated.And that's what we've seen already over the last number of nights.And unfortunately, I think there's a lack of understanding in Westminster about what the heck is going on.They think this is just normal protest.They think this is just like what's happened in Southport.It's not.

It's very different.And the police, unfortunately, in many cases are not stepping in to stop these riots because they don't want to be intimidated.They don't want to be targeted themselves.And of course, many police officers died during the troubles at the hands of both Republicans and loyalists.They remember what happened.They don't want to be intimidated.

They don't want to be in danger.They don't want to put their families in danger.So they don't want to take a heavy -handed approach to this.And I think the British government is asleep at the wheel over this and this risks getting much much worse.So you have immigrants, you have foreigners who are afraid to leave their homes at the moment and how is it going to get any better unless the government do something about it.I don't know what they can do but they need to do something because it risks getting to a situation where people get worse than injured.
