Brits Suddenly Interested In The North Of Ireland Since They Colonised It
English loyalists and unionists across the UK have confirmed they’ve never been as concerned about “community safety” in this part of the world since their ancestors arrived here during the Tudor conquest and decided the best way to make friends was to take the land, rename half of it, and act shocked when people noticed.
Following a horrific knife attack in Belfast, online patriots immediately sprang into action to do what they do best: ignore the victim, ignore the facts, ignore the police, and use one man’s suffering to stir up enough racial division to power a bonfire on the Glorious 12th of July.
Police have arrested one man. Not a race. Not a religion. Not every person with a slightly different surname than “Smith.” One man.
But that hasn’t stopped the usual Poundland empire loyalists from treating the six counties like a Netflix documentary they can use to justify the opinions they already had before the attack even happened.
A spokesperson for "PEOPLE WHO DEFINITELY AREN’T RACIST BUT", said: “We’re just asking questions,” before asking no questions and instead posting 14 Union Jack emojis under a blurry screenshot they got from a man called Big Rab's Patriot News Updates.
The victim deserves compassion. The people who tried to help deserve praise. The police should be allowed to do their job. And the racist ghouls using blood on a Belfast street to push their dirty wee agenda deserve to be told exactly where to go.
Because if your first instinct after a brutal attack is not “I hope that poor man survives,” but “great, this’ll be good for my anti-immigrant Facebook post,” then you’re not defending the community.
You’re the reason it needs defended.
