Romanians flee homes after attack

[dipsydoodle]

More than 100 Romanian people who were forced to flee their homes in south Belfast have been moved to a leisure centre in the city.

The group of about 20 families spent Tuesday night in a church hall after a spate of racist attacks on their homes over the past week.

Belfast City Council, the police and social services are due to meet later.

Deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness said it was a "totally shameful episode" in the city.

1. Disgusting

How do these people expect Northern Ireland to get back up if the ground if they go around doing this sort of thing?

2. Simple answer is that they don't

Good to read back on some general history if you're not completely au fait with it : http://www.wesleyjohnston.com/users/ireland/past/history/19631969.html

It will an extreme protestant group behind it IMHO.

5. Not sure if it will be a "religious" group behind it

But what can be said is that in a situation where people hate each other on the basis of belonging to a different denomination it's always going to be difficult to get people not to hate others on the basis of race. :-(

4. I thought they had quelled a lot the loyalist groups but

apparently there are some still around and as intolerant as ever.
