An atrocious attack last evening on the streets of Belfast.

Thank God for the local resident with a hurl who with help succeeded in beating the attacker away.

What is behind these attacks, what is driving men who have risked their lives to get to our shores to then behave in this way?

Is it culture, racism, MH or drugs?

I wish to understand what is happening.

Apparently Loyalist Paramilitaries were behind the attack on him in 2001 and its Loyalist Paramilitaries behind the house fires, ethnic pogroms and attacks on police and NHS staff who are not white. No surprise - they had their balaclavas and stashes of weapons ready behind their front doors. Loyalists/Patriots - just violent racist thugs.

I wonder how technically difficult it would be to block X, if Musk refuses to delete the inciting posts?

I believe it would be possible. The problem is that it could still be accessed with a VPN, so anybody interested in keeping in touch with their groups could do so easily.

Additionally, any government blocking X would have to be very brave because there would be an outcry about "freedom of speech".

I cant help wondering if they have a large part in what is happening right now, maybe we will find out in the trials, I don't want to second guess.
