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

Now that's not the way it works in the modern era because of mobile phones and because

because someone's always going to video something.

But what happened was clearly, it built up, there was a high degree of planning and that level of violence and targeted violence spilled out onto the streets.

There has been no public transport since five o'clock today.

And in actual fact, most of it shut down before that.

I saw a story up on Twitter from a former BBC colleague of mine, a BBC colleague of yours.

And he was saying that he met an elderly lady in Derry who she was trying to get back to Newton Abbey near to Belfast.

And she said, I just can't get home.

What am I going to do?

So, I mean, a lot of people are dependent on public transport.

But the city of Belfast itself was emptied around lunchtime today.

People were told to come home and to go home and the shutters came down.

So in a sense, Belfast is shut with all of the costs that come with that.

Well, this debate has spilled over via social media from Britain.

It has come across the border via social media up from Dublin.

It has come across from Europe also as well.

And obviously it has come across from the United States of America.

Now, with all due respect to Northern Ireland, it isn't the most attractive destination in the world.

Our numbers in terms of migration, there is no mass migration into Northern Ireland.

Our numbers of minorities and migrants is very, very low.
