Belfast Carnage!

Apologies for lack of posts yesterday but the events that have been happened here have totally overwhelmed my social media. Let me try and summarise what has happened and what it means.

Late Monday night, a Sudanese migrant tried to cut off the head of a local man. The only reason he did not succeed was because a few other locals intervened and hit the attacker with what is called a Hurley Stick (a bit like a hockey stick) and that delayed him until the police arrived. As I best understand it, the victim had at least one eye gouged out, his nose cut off and deep wounds to the throat. The Sudanese attacker allegedly used a kitchen knife to conduct the attack. As he did so, and this important to note, he shouted out “I am going to kill, Wallahi, he’s dead 'Wallahi' literally means I swear by Allah" or "by God”

In summary this Sudanese migrant was an Islamist doing that which is more commonplace in Sudan, but not Britain. We came close to another Lee Rigby moment..

He was arrested at the scene and taken to hospital, along with his poor victim.

Cue media response. First thing yesterday morning, the local BBC ran a minor story about a “knife attack’ in Belfast and along with the rest of them, they would have been very happy to leave it like that. HOWEVER, the video of the event appeared on X and then the story spiralled out of media control. As I put it myself on X;

That was first thing yesterday morning. As the day went on, we had the usual “thoughts and prayers” from the out of touch political caste and Starmer appealed for calm. Trust me, nobody local was listening to any of these pearl clutchers.

We had this truly remarkable exchange in the House of Commons when my former political colleague and now MP for North Antrim asked a telling question of the Labour Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, Hillary Benn, only to be told to watch his language.

Gouging a person’s eyes out and trying to cut off their head whilst swearing to Allah is my idea of an “alien culture” but apparently Labour politicians get annoyed if you point this out.

As the day went of, anger rose across Northern Ireland, and across the communities.

The local politicians told us to stay calm, don’t get angry and basically just take this an another incident.

The problem for them is that NOBODY is listening.

You will have seen the huge protests that happened in many towns as well as Belfast. Predictably, some of these turned violent and that is to be regretted. I condemn all violence and believe that it plays into the hands of establishment. However, when people say that violence achieves nothing, they might choose to wonder how Sinn Fein got into the Government of Northern Ireland, so spare me the piety.

In an example of JUST HOW AWFUL Sinn Fein is, I want to give you two exhibits.

First, this was a social media post by the Sinn Fein MP for the area that saw the attempted decapitation.

As you see, Sinn Fein WANTED migrants in this area.

Now, let’s listen to the First Minister of Northern Ireland, Michelle O’Neil getting angry at a perfectly reasonable question by a GB News journalist.

She doesn’t look happy, does she?

The fiery violence we saw on our streets was not random. It targeted HMO’s used by Government to disperse foreign migrants. This is what happened to some HMO houses in Belfast.

Now the occupants were moved out before this, so no one was hurt but no one wants to see this. By the same token, no local person was consulted and asked if they wanted migrants moved into their community.

Scenes like this happened in other places and it is apparent that many Northern Irish people, loyalist and nationalist, feel that they are not being listened to by politicians who relentlessly pursue Open Borders policy at all costs.

Let’s consider how the Sudanese alleged attacker got into Northern Ireland. It appears he flew from Sudan to Paris. Paris is in France and is designated a safe country for migrants. He ignored that and then flew from Paris to Dublin. Dublin is in Ireland and is designated a safe country. He ignored that and then travelled to Northern Ireland, by bus. He was able to do so because there are NO border checks on the island of Ireland. What this means is that ANYONE can follow in his footsteps. And many do. Once in Northern Ireland, it is easy to get the ferry to Liverpool and England awaits.

You see the problem? Migrants can come unchallenged into the UK AND there is no means to stop any of them.

In order to stop civil unrest, it is reasonable for Government and politicians to do everything to keep us safe from those who would try to cut off our heads. Will they?

It seems unlikely so the prospect is that unrest may well continue. That is to be deeply regretted but then again, so is trying to decapitate a man in a public road.

You will remember the terrible murder of Lee Rigby in 2013.

But for the grace of God and the bravery of a few local people, this would have repeated on the streets of north Belfast on Monday night.

We cannot keep living like this.
