In a Daily Mail interview in December 2017, Nigel Farage claimed he was "53, separated and skint". He argued that there was "no money in politics" and that he had spent twenty years spending more than he earned. In the eight years since then he has purchased 4 houses worth £4 million.

Badenough gets worse. The Tories slashed military personnel numbers and hit the lowest %of GDP for defence during their 14 year reign of error - and their Brexit deprives the Treasury of £65bn+ every year. But it's Labour not doing enough... As for welfare, the current %GDP is nothing remarkable.

It's not really any of those. It's mostly because of a few racist misinformation merchants stirring the pot on social media for years along with Loyalist paramilitaries taking advantage opportunistically every year to show their strength, and an absence of political leadership in those communities.

Facebook prompted this as a memory today, something I'd written exactly a year ago, yet here we are again.
People in Ballymena are so concerned about attacks on women and children that they've attacked houses with women and children in them, ransacked them, and torched their cars. But they're not racist.

Almost all of the immigrants these people have "legitimate concerns" about have jobs (which means they're legally here in NI), pay taxes, contribute to the cost of public services, and they're almost certainly either doing a specialist job or one that most local people don't want to do.

Our health and care services would collapse tomorrow without them. Restaurants and hotels, takeaways, public transport, farming, fishing, and food production all rely heavily on them.

NI had about 2,500 asylum seekers last year, or roughly 1/10 of one percent of our population, about 1 in 1,000. If you think the lack of housing (50,000 waiting list), or health waiting lists (500,000 waiting list), is down to that 1 in a thousand extra you've allowed yourself to get distracted by the people you've probably voted for, who haven't done their jobs.

There were 4,000 attacks on women and girls in NI last year, and that is definitely something to be concerned about, but that is not an immigration problem - almost all of those attacks were by indigenous white males who knew their victim.

The worst sort of people want you to use this terrible act to conflate immigration with all the ills of our society, transfer the blame. Don't fall for it.
