Irs important that the events in Northern Ireland receive the coverage, analysis and attention that they deserve to help quell the ember of fire up roaring in the region. The riots in the area are down to the Unionists fear of losing power and a lot of anxiety over the border down the Irish Sea and a fear of a united Ireland. Ultimately Brexit has destabilised the situation a lot.

It was also gathered that Sinn Féin giving Bobby Storey a huge, pandemic super-spreader funeral didn't help either. Also, loyalist paramilitaries who are huge drug dealers (fact), are using the protocol to stir up hatred because the powder cant get through anymore, the first minister only converses with paramilitaries, NOT police. Protestant paramilitaries are bad yes but Sinn Fein is literally run by the IRA. Think about the heinous acts they might have committed.

There's need to differentiate between protestant paramilitaries and loyalist paramilitaries. Just because loyalists are from protestant community doesnt make all protestants supporters of loyalists. Same with catholic/nationalist side. There are fringe elements everywhere who are prepared to cause anarchy in the name of their 'side' (look at the USA and storming of the Capitol). At the end of the day, we are all human with flaws... the last thing Northern Ireland needs is balkanisation

Rather, what Northern Ireland needs is unionist leaders to move away from guidance by paramilitaries and grow a set of balls and own up to the mess they caused.
