By “the Irish”, do you mean the small minority of far right thugs rioting in Belfast?
Ah so close, but alas so far.
See one more time.
When something like this happens and people get upset, calling the people who are upset racist inflames tensions.
It's very easy to understand.
If you want violent riots you call the people who get upset when something happens that is upsetting for a reasonable person racist.
Sure fire way to get riots.
However if you want to avoid riots then a different tact is necessary.
We are apparently either to believe that the people in charge don't understand this because they are really, really stupid or they just want violent unrest.
Reasonable people get upset when horrible shit happens. Far right RACIST thugs use it as an excuse to riot and attack innocents, terrorise communities and set shit on fire.
See the difference, dipshit? No one is calling anyone racist for getting upset.
Let’s compare one Nigel Farage’s reaction with the rape and murder of Sarah Everard by police officer Wayne Couzens. Couzens used his authority as a police officer to handcuff Everard, then he drove her out of town, raped her, strangled her, burned her body and dumped the remains in a pond.
Lots of people were understandably upset. There were peaceful vigils (some violating Covid restrictions, but peaceful), people wanted to know if there were any previous red flags about Couzens (there were lots).
Farage said it was important not for it to turn into attacks on men or the police (even though that wasn’t happening): “When we saw the Couzens case, I thought it was horrific, but you know what, you’re going to get one bad person in any large group of people.”
All the voice of reason when it’s a white perpetrator. We can’t judge whole groups of people on the actions of individuals, etc, etc. But when it’s a foreigner or a Muslim or some other minority, he calls for “cold hard rage”. Because he’s a fucking RACIST.
You might call that “two tier politics”.
