Newscast · Who’s Causing The Violence In Belfast? · 10 Jun 2026 podcast

groups of young men, for the most part, banging on doors, checking for foreigners, as they said themselves, and telling them to get out.

And in several stages, many houses actually, in fact, I'm not sure, I don't have the exact number, that houses were burned.

We saw police officers and firefighters

brigade staff rescuing people from those houses after they had been deliberately set on fire.

So those were shocking incidents.

And I think there's widespread shock, fear and revulsion across the board.

And one thing I have to say from listening to people today, from talking to people today, the fear in Belfast, the fear in Belfast, and it has been over the last 24 hours, not of

Migrants, not of asylum seekers, but of thugs on the street.

That is not to say that there isn't a real fear after what happened on Monday night.

And that is not to say there's not a real anger across the communities, across all communities in Belfast after what happened.

But the fear has quickly switched to these marauding gangs.

Yes, and people were intimidated on social media before this.

There was kind of an order went out, turn off your doorbell cameras, no filming.

And some of the filming that we do see, we can hear people screaming, no, turn off that camera, no filming, no filming, we told you no filming.

journalists were intimidated from several sites and journalists who'd come across from England as well were told to leave several areas.

So this was not a protest as in like a protest.

If you have a protest, you tell the media, you want the media to see, you want to make a point.

You have placards, you make yourself available.

There was none of that.

This was intended to happen behind closed doors.
