@@georgebrowne5935 yes the violence is been orchestrated by the loyalist group the UDA. They are very unhappy with the increased scrutiny that they are receiving from the PSNI. There have been a number of arrests of their members along with weapons and drugs seizures. This is a criminal issue. But you are correct that it won't be easy. The loyalists still maintain high levels of support within their communities and with the DUP. The rhetoric coming from the DUP and the UK Government has not helped the situation. It may take the loss of life before this violence and rioting is brought to an end. But this is just the start of many months of unrest and violence in Northern Ireland. When Unionists are unhappy it usually results in violence spilling out on to the streets.

You sure it has nothing to do with the unionist drug cartels flexing their muscles to intimidate the police after they recently seized their product and arrested some of their goons? If it really is about customs checks on some goods moving across the Irish Sea, why did Foster reject the plan that the May government negotiated which would of avoided such a perceived border? What viable alternative have the DUP put forward? That's a stupid question; isn't it? The DUP proudly carries on Ian Paisley's tradition of saying "NO!" to everything while never offering anything constructive. Anyone who paid attention to opinion polls would have known that the harder the form Brexit took, the more sentiments in NI would favor a United Ireland, yet the DUP consistently pushed for the hardest Brexit possible. The DUP has done more to make a United Ireland likely than anything the 'shinners' ever have done.

This is not protesting. They don't like that police confiscated drugs from the criminal gangs that call themselves UDA, UVF and RHC, aka LCC. The LCC and, the political side, DUP don't like the police decisions on not prosecuting breaches of covid regulations of their political opponents. Even though they also break these regulations themselves. They also don't like that leaving the EU means that the UK will be outside the EU and will be treated as such. This has all been too much for their minds and has now came to a head just as anyone throwing a tantrum would do. Luckily it is only a few streets. Not as some news outlets have been claiming. To sum up, it's not a protest but a tantrum. It is not everywhere in Northern Ireland, just a few streets. It is not because of one issue but many.
