With her merciless slaying of the Freedom of Speech Act, Bridget Phillipson has shown herself to be a far more brutal political combatant than the enfeebled Tories. If you want to win the culture war, this is how to do it.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5The cops are ignoring these attacks - we need a big turnout for this protest tomorrow!
Once again we see loyalists showing their true colours.
If they aren't trying to terrorise innocent Catholics they are trying to terrorise foreign nationals.
Loyalism = hate hate hate!
The previous comment is exactly the sectarian rubbish we don't need. The organisers of the protest are trying to appeal to the ordinary working class people who live in the area, mostly Protestant, who are repulsed by these attacks to come out and support the protest. The previous comment is totally pointless and sectarian. Racist attacks happen in both communities. We need unity of all workers against these Nazi scum.
Accusations of ‘police inaction’ and ‘feeding misinformation’ to media
Local residents organising a protest against racist attacks have criticised the police for lack of action in dealing with serious racist attacks carried out by small groups of racists in the Lisburn Rd area.
One of the organisers of the protest, Paddy Meehan has also criticised the police for misinforming the media that the families under attack were Polish, when in fact they are Romanian. Mr. Meehan explained “The police’s reports to the media that the families under attack are Polish is particularly dangerous after recent tensions in the area after the clashes at the recent Northern Ireland Poland football match.”

Monday 15th
Police inform media that families are Polish, not Romanian.
Residents who organised an anti-racist protest on the Lisburn Rd in Belfast last night have criticised some reports which claimed that the protest was abandoned due to a small group of youths hurling bricks and bottles at the protestors.
Paddy Meehan, a spokesperson for the residents stated “We are disappointed that a reporter for a major broadcaster misreported last nights events, claiming that we abandoned our protest because of the attacks. This is completely untrue. As has been independently verified by footage on UTV, we succeeded in chasing them and forced them to disperse. In fact the protest grew larger after the racist thugs threw bottles at us. The protest then continued for forty minutes and a rota of residents was organised to defend the families overnight. As a result of this action on the ground there have been no attacks for the past two nights.”
Mr. Meehan added that “attempts from some quarters to blame residents for provoking the racists into attacking the protest by chanting anti-racist slogans were letting the racists off the hook. The media needs to focus on the fact that a small number of racist thugs are still intent on attacking homes and putting the lives of young children in danger.”
