Sudan, the country of origin of the attacker, is a failed state, continually in conflict or civil war, with the U.K. playing a destabilizing role. Just as Great Britain colonized Ireland, drove its people to poverty and emigration, brutally suppressed its rebellions, and divided it between north and south, so it colonized Sudan in the 19th century, fought its rebellion, stole its resources, and played a role in dividing it between north and south. Immigration is a legacy of Western colonialism that stole the wealth of the colonized peoples, then stifled their economic and political development. The Irish people, more than any other Europeans, express solidarity with the anti-colonial struggle of the people of Palestine, and there is some evidence the race riots were fueled by Loyalist paramilitaries who continue to support British colonialism.
Anti-immigrant and racist sentiment in Europe is a legacy of colonialism. As part of the UK, Northern Ireland benefitted from centuries of extraction of resources, cheap labor, and finance from the colonies and neo-colonies, with a small portion of that wealth trickling down to the working class. Northern Ireland remains an English colony, and the Protestants were originally settler colonists from England and Scotland, comparable to the English settlers in Kenya and South Africa. Anti-immigrant sentiment, expressed in the Great Replacement theory, is the driving force of the extreme right in Europe, on the rise in the UK with the Reform UK, Restore Britain, and Britain First parties. Both anti-Catholic and anti-immigrant sentiment in Northern Ireland are colonialist mentality, obstructing a unified working class struggle against British colonialism and capitalism.
It’s corruption, plain and simple simple. People are beginning to connect the dots. All of us working people need to acknowledge that we are supporting the billionaires through sweetheart contracts with government officials. Time for this to stop.
Reporting the facts always sheds light on dark corners. Thank you, Neil.
thank you Paul

Thanks for this background… hard to believe, but could be so. Ever since the brexit disaster, Northern Ireland has suffered…
