The landscape of Northern Ireland’s societal tensions has been marred by signage and graffiti, leading to a police investigation as authorities labeled the slogan “Irish Lives Matter” to be potentially racist and a hate incident.
A sign was spotted near Tildarg Avenue in Belfast declaring the community’s objection to the re-housing of illegal immigrants, as reported by the BBC.
This move by local residents highlights the issue of immigration that has been gnawing at the fabric of Irish society.
Moreover, the Kennedy Centre on Falls Road was defaced with graffiti reading “Irish lives matter,” echoing the global “Black Lives Matter” movement.
These incidents have drawn sharp criticism from far-left political leaders and woke community activists who do not represent the people of Ireland.
