Northern Ireland: Emergency talks take place after ‘worst rioting in recent years’ 

Won’t be surprised if Boris Johnson goes mad this year. Riots in Ireland, rising support for Scottish independence, covid crisis and the largest burden of all...Being Boris Johnson

The poor fella waiting for a bus, knowing he has to walk it instead next morning.

When Unionists finally realise they dont actually live in Britain 🤣🤣🤣

This was dismissed as "Project Fear" before the Brexit vote.

Brexit, the gift that keeps on giving...

The truth of the matter is Ulster Unionism has always been on the wrong side of history. They accept Democracy when it suits them and threaten violence if the outcome of that democratic result doesn't go their way. When the majority on the island of Ireland vowed for home rule, the Ulster-Unionists resisted an Irish parliament to be run by the Irish; even though Ireland was still in the UK. The Ulster-Unionists bit off more then they could chew and a good chunk of Ireland (26 counties) left the kingdom because the Irish who also identified themselves as British wouldn't meet the Irish Republicans half way. Partition happened because the UVF threatened a civil war within the UK. The reason why they were threatening violence was because in 1918, Ireland had a national vote called “the Irish general election”. The majority of the Irish people voted for independence. The minority in the North of Ireland who voted to remain in the UK got their wish. The Irish people got cheated out of their Democracy and the island was partitioned. The 26 Counties became what was known as the “irish free state” (later to be called the “Republic of Ireland” in 1949) and the North of Ireland had to rejoin the UK as a new entity known as “Northern Ireland” in 1922. The founding fathers of Ireland (the first and original IRA) had no choice but to accept the 26 county Irish free state treaty. Either they accepted it or the British empire would've blown Ireland off the map. British Gunship Diplomacy from their empire forced Ireland to surrender. Fast forward to today and you're seeing a repeat of history going in reverse. You're essentially witnessing karma in action. In 2016 the UK had a national vote on the UK leaving the EU: i.e *Brexit* The majority of the British people voted for independence The minority in Northern Ireland who voted to remain in the EU got their wish. The British people got cheated out of their Democracy and the Union has become partitioned. The British government voted for the sea border because they had no choice. Either accept the sea border (known as the Irish protocol) or risk diplomatic action from both the EU and USA. Ireland has the backing from an Irish lobby in Congress (from both the Democrats and Republican parties) and an Irish-American president. That's without 26 countries in the EU that's also backing up Ireland as well. The UK had no choice but to surrender Northern Ireland to the EU. It's also worth mentioning that the DUP voted for this protocol that has the UK partitioned. They're shifting the blame, deflecting responsibility and meeting up with sectarian loyalist paramilitaries - DURING A LOCKDOWN - and is stoking up all this tension. They're an absolute cancer to Northern Ireland.

This saddens me it's such a beautiful country when I was there I did not want to leave

8:00 Our summers are often long and hot in the worst possible way and it is rarely to do with the weather. Brilliant line. This woman has a great way with words.

The DUP own this they made a deal with the devil and this is the result

Arlene Foster on the verge of tears - because she’s losing power and her grip

Brexit means brexit... Thank you BoJo for lying

DUP STIRRING ALL THIS TO HAPPEN WHEN THEY ASKED PEOPLE TO COMPLAIN AND NOW PLAYING VICTIMS 😡😡😡 DUP VOTED FOR THIS MESS TO HAPPEN!

We don't treat any Northern Ireland person differently in Ireland. You can keep your British identity under a united Ireland. That's outlined in the GFA. However we will slag you for even wanting to be a Brit in the first place LOL. But come on we don't want an Ireland that is segregated like it seems to be in Belfast. That's just backwards. We all want move forward on the island of Ireland 🇮🇪🙌

If the police cars need to look like US Army cars in Iraq, that country is in trouble

Baffles me why the news keeps saying its the "worst rioting in years" The riots happen every 12th July, there's nothing new here 🙄😂😂

That's one bus nobody is getting thrown under..!

Well done Boris, you certainly screwed up here!

Also, Politicians “condemning” it will do what exactly?

What do we want "Brexit", When do we want it "Now". Mission accomplished.

if DUP didn't understand or understand and lied about being no border in Irish sea rises a serious question of their suitability for being leaders of loyalist community

But the Brexiteers said that this wouldn't happen - could they have been wrong about anything else??

These riots have nothing to do with a funeral (Facts!).

UNITE IRELAND!

Most of those kids are too young to even know why they are rioting.

Politics aside, I wish both sides could find a peaceful way to resolve their issues. The last thing I'd want to see is a return to the troubles, solidarity from Scotland.

Oh, the joys of Brexit!

It’s so sad how a country is so divided and torn apart especially when it’s one of our own

IREXIT!! Free occupied Ireland!

All thanks to David Cameron and Tory extreme brexit

I hope that the residents in Nationalist areas refuse to take the bait from the Unionist factions. Otherwise this unfortunately may get out of control. Peace to all.

They using this funeral as a smokescreen. Foster and Wilson is responsible for the dog whistling

Can we just appreciate that the police haven’t resorted to rubber bullets and tear gas and have actually tried to buy time for politicians.

How can things get better when they have walls and gates permanently separating the communities?!!?!??!

End the occupation of Northern Island.

*Men behind the wire intensifies*

As a grandson of a Northern Ireland resident, I pray these people could learn to diffuse this situation. Please, in Jesus’ name.

It must be hard to have your country partitioned against your will.

Why not an independent Ireland? The EU and Britain is basically totalitarian police states. So whats the point of fighting to either stay or go just work on building your own nation. No one in Europe truly has liberty and now innthe USA we are losing rights too. Why does everyone really want to just be enslaved and controlled by wealthy powers?

This has nothing to do with that funeral which occurred last summer, the DUP are to blame for this Foster sits in her big house in Fermanagh stirring up anger causing working class loyalists to go to the streets

Sporadic localised disquiet Which govt press release did that BS come from?

free Ireland , free Palestine

Disquiet 🤣 that's a nice new word

Still think Brexits a good idea? the sad end of the UK...

And here I'm sitting in South Africa, wishing I can move pretty much anywhere else in the world... I guess the entire world is becoming a little unwell

UK should have lobbied for a revised deal in northern ireland before negotiating finality with eu exit. Never give simpleton the decission power of other peoples problems.

This is getting WAAAAYYYY out of hand! There needs to be urgent talks between Nationalists, Unionists and the UK government for a joint compromised position on the Northern Ireland Protocol

So confusing as an American but hope Ireland finds peace.

Get rid of the DUP and give Northern Ireland back

Welcome to the Brexit sir

These is just like the way Nairobi mathare slums being burns down...

Did Irish vote brexit? Or r they paying for English choices!

irish never part of the British

maby if england didnt threaten to break the good friday agreement it wouldn't be this bad. it was bound to happen but not like this. they voted for Brexit what else can we do?

It's funny because when people were burning police cars in Bristol they were still deemed as "Protestors"

Freedom Scotland freedom Ireland

Whaaaaaaaaat!? Who could have known!?!?! Such a surprise! If only we could have prevented that! 🤦‍♂️

The main reason I voted against Brexit: 1) I am no lover of the European Union, it is malfunctioning and undemocratic, but it would be sheer aggravation to leave the bloc. 2) Brexit would cause a return to the troubles. I have been right on both accounts.

Not all us brits forget what is happening in Ireland. Some of us are with you!

Good on ya lads 8,000 years, free Ireland

I HOPE MY CATHOLIC BROTHERS AND SISTERS ARE SAFE. GOD BLESS YOU ALL MY CATHOLIC FRIENDS.

A better way to describe it these days would be Irish or British, not Catholic or Protestant, or Nationalist and Loyalist, use British vs Irish when describing it for foreign audiences to understand.

Don't worry it'll be an electronic border

only ever see 6 kids

"a beautiful sight to behold" Nancy pelosi

We call that peaceful protesting in America.

Just a tip: Slovenia got rid of yugoslav army fast using crossbows.

Even the young people know what's right. Shame on the adults that they have to fight for their future now.

Did she just say lets not look at the root problems just...

"Come out ye Black and Tans, come out and fight me like a man, show your wife how you won medals down Flanders"

The cops love it, nice bit of overtime just in time for the summer

FREE Ireland

I hope brexiteers are happy now. It’s all on them.

Free North Ireland，UK，stop genocide！

Coming to the rest of UK soon I reckon

Fun Fact: This was the bus where the Tories advertised £350mil for the NHS as part of their Brexit propaganda

If you want to "remain British" then why did you come to the island of Ireland from the island of Britain 😂😂😂

Could London just give Northern Ireland back to Irish government ?

As an American, it's crazy to see this. I remember back in 1998 when Bill Clinton went over there to help negotiate. I hope a whole new generation doesn't fall back into old ways.

This is the death throes of loyalism. It has become and irrelevant political position. Thankfully a united Ireland is an inevitablability.

Your all Irish, born to the same small beautiful country some believe this some believe that for how many years of conflict killings and everything in between why on earth can't you live side by side and just respect each other and your differences. For a future that no wife will loose a husband no dad will loose a daughter no mother will loose a son and no brother a sister or a brother and no child loose a parent to this come on now!

Support Violence in Africa and Middle East freedom but in western countries is worst

hope nigel fararge is happy with its work

as non-Brit the coverage of Northern Ireland is totally strange to me. I don't know what the sides are fighting for, what the issue is, who is fighting who and why, I just know it is being going on forever, it was worse in the 90s, but I honestly have no idea what the conflict is about.

How would 55 psni be injured in their armoured jeeps? Didn’t see one on foot trying to bust rioters heads in ffs

Why can't they split NORTH IN 2 I mean for the people who wants North Ireland be with Republic of ireland stay on West side and people who wants UNION with UK stay on the EAST and crossing over or built wall there like Berlin Wall and everyone should mind their business...since people cant be moved to Republic of Ireland or to the Island of BRITAIN .....

Such brave and peaceful freedom fighters ! This is truly a beautiful sight to behold ! Absolutely wonderful !

We need the best peace keepers in the world in northern Ireland not the British empire who caused the troubles, Irish army into Northern Ireland!!!!!!!!!!

BEEN QUIET in the country for a long time, it appears issues with governments around the world has the people up in arms , the world is truly dividing and splintering, but the republic and northern tribes are really at issue these days

Just an excuse for criminal violence by mainly children and teenagers. Parents are you not embarrassed about your children?

This is your brexit ENGLAND!! #borderpollnow

How many people has thr justice minister eaten?

UK:... EU: Are you winning son?

Give NI over to the Republic and let the Irish sort out their problem, I'm English but a united Ireland makes sense. Less than a million wanting to be British verses potentially c.5 million who want a united Ireland. A few trouble making protestant teenagers shouldn't warrant such publicity.

Summer off love is coming

People alone are responsible for there actions. Republic nationalists are the real imperialists. Northern Irish people will not be bullied by violence into leaving the United Kingdom. Right now the republic nationalists are treating Northern Ireland like China is treating Hong Kong.

Please stop violence against each other 🙏 Regards from India 🇮🇳

give Ireland back to the Irish and end these troubles

Which year is this?

To never mention that it is Loyalists that are rioting, is disappointing.

Look at the mess england left behind 🥵
