Correspondence from Ballymen, where there are revolts against Romanian migrants. The campaigns on the Northern Ireland Tiktok make “patriotic” clips with Ia, as in Romania, and teaches the attackers how to mask: “It is not racism, there are only years of tolerance”
A Hotnews team went to the city of Ballymena in Northern Ireland to see on the spot how Romanian citizens are treated and what is happening in anti-immigrant protests, which broke out in Northern Ireland. The street revolt began after two young people, Romanian citizens, were accused of rape a local teenager. What the tiktok in this country looks like. Also, on the Chinese social network, you can also find anti-LGBTQ+messages, patriotic videos with AI, but also messages that condemn racism and violent protests.
“We do not want those who have nothing to offer to the society,” say North-Irish in Ballymen to the Romanian migrants / “It is a lie that these people do not work legally”, responds one of the Romanians / What does the British claim
“What happens in Ballymen is not racism, they are just years of tolerance” – it is one of the messages that have become viral on Tiktok in Northern Ireland and have been posted by several users.
Over 50 houses have been affected by violent protests in Northern Ireland. Some homes have been set on fire. Most were inhabited by migrants. 14 families were evacuated and housed by authorities in other places, according to the BBC. Over 60 police officers, who intervened, were injured, Sky News reported.
On Tiktok, these events are applauded. And those who have fought with the police are rather upset about the British press, because they reflect violence. A young woman is also filmed on a song known with lyrics that say “what bizarre” (OMC – “how bizarre”), and on the screen writes: “When people are more revolted than by little girls who are raped.”
Because “all the left-wing strangers who do not know if they want to be a man or woman looking for attention,” an internet responds and receives 166 likes for his comment.
“Because feminism and left policy have a solid control for the moment (…) Yes, we have problems in our society, but we do not have the resources to solve them due to mass immigration,” someone else responds.
Many Tiktoks to support the protests have been posted by the inhabitants of other northern Ireland cities where street movements took place. For example, a video mentions “Newry is with Ballymen, to get them out”, while others used the message “Londonderry / Limerick says no” (no immigrants).
The Ambassador of the Philippines came among his, the ambassador of Romania, no
Present in Ballymena, the Hotnews team attended the meeting between the Philippine ambassador and its compatriots.
“If, following the protests you were left without things, furniture, bicycles or anything else, they can be replaced, and we will pay for them. Our role is to take care of our citizens,” said the ambassador, who came from London to show his citizens from Ballymen, that they are not alone against the city.
From Romania, here came the consul from EdinBurugh. The ambassador of Romania, Laura Popescu, did not do the same because the local authorities considered that its presence would inflamed the local spirits, because the Romanian diplomat represents both the victims of the aggressions and the involved rapists, who are also Romanian citizens, say diplomatic sources, explained to HotNews diplomatic sources.
Tiktokuri about how to not be caught
Tips to wear caps
More videos explain to people how they can mask, to protect themselves so that they are not discovered by the police if they shake the spirits.
“No face, without the case” (“No do, no house”) is the title of such a tiktok, to which dozens of people send support messages such as “do not let yourself be beaten” or “continue the brothers”.
Fire for pleasure
Among the tiktoks related to protests, anti-protests, I also gave more young people who apparently like to pyrene. For example, a boy, probably a minor, has a series of posts about his pleasure to set fire to objects and tells how he gets home dirty and oil.
Another tiktok that I could not locate shows how a group of over 10 young people who prepare for protests put pallets on top of each other and then climb them on an improvised system. You can easily realize that those turrets from pallets on wheels are ready to be set on fire and thrown.
There are also people who condemn racism
Tiktok there are also people who show their opposition to violent protests. Many condemn racism, others are ironic to those who commit violence.
“Everyone says that foreigners take our jobs probably have a record,” says a user. “Thank you for protecting us, women, attacking innocent families,” writes a young woman.
I also discovered on Tiktok and a post with images from a movie where Al Pacino plays the role of a rich mafia that counts money bags is added the text “Window Montators now”.
Patriotic videos made with artificial intelligence, as in Romania
From a building dozens of masked people come out with military signs and the flags of Northern Ireland, Ireland and the United Kingdom and begin to march on the street among people who acclaim them.
It does not sound unpleasant at all, but the video has many elements that give it empty that it is made with an instrument – like the texts on the flags that mean nothing, strange movements of objects and faces that are transformed.
“A hamster born in a stable is not a horse”
Several people from different ethnic groups, but born in Ireland, posted pictures with them accompanied by the message “I am Irish”. Many of these posts have received waves of comments, both hate and support.
“You have only Irish passport,” someone comments on posting a young man.
“If you are born in Ireland, you are Irish,” adds another user.
“A hamster born in a stable is not a horse,” is the opinion of another Internet.
