And, you know, so then and the social media is telling you your social media feeds are telling you that these people are, you know, glomming off the states.
And they're also they're not like you and I, that they've got these strange, you know, violent ways.
And so, you know, this narrative of invasion influx is very prevalent.
And people feel, well, that their own eyes are telling them that it's true.

People, I was back in Ballymena after the riots and people were saying, my God, you know, so many teenagers, you know, getting criminal records because of that.
And so I think that's one reason why our job now as journalists become even harder covering these things, because last night people were so, the rioters and their sympathizers were very hostile to anybody, any perceived outsiders taking pictures.
You know, you take out your camera, you know, at your peril because they're much more conscious now of the potential policing and being identified.
The policing is a deterrence to some extent, but clearly on the basis of what we saw last night, it's not enough.

Un Bolívar, el espíritu de Bolívar.
