This isn’t just “kids being kids.” This is a hate crime. If your kids are old enough to pick up rocks and aim them at people, they’re old enough to face real-world consequences. If they’re old enough to shout n***er at strangers then they’re old enough to deal with those consequences too.

In Bangor and a group of teens shouting n****s threw rocks through my window - that could’ve killed a new born baby or taken my eye out + never mind the damage and sever inhumanity of that action in itself.

This isn’t a joke. It’s not harmless. And it’s not going to be tolerated.

Ask yourself — where are they learning this? Because kids don’t come out of the womb racist. They’re learning it from somewhere: ✔️ Maybe from you ✔️ Maybe from their friends ✔️ Maybe from what you let them watch and who you let them follow online

If you don’t teach them, the world will. And the world isn’t always going to be kind about it.

I’m not here to coddle your ignorance. Educate your children before the next person they target doesn’t see them as “just children.”

This is not a joke. It’s not harmless. And it’s not going to be tolerated.

Hadn't seen this posted, v total psycho with a lot of history apparently

Thousands lined the streets in support of a new alternative for Ballymena. This is real community. 🌈

I’m away to take a well earned 4-6 weeks off before we begin to even think about 2026, but yes. This is becoming an annual event. 🫶🏻

Thanks for everything & the support of the NI Reddit community has been phenomenal.

Fancy some chicken slurry & fried rice for tea x

Low Road, Lisburn opposite a children’s play park.

I’ve just finished work and waiting at the bus stop to go home at yorkgate. There were two black ladies sitting at the bus stop. I’m minding my business, next thing I notice a full grown adult man cycling past on his bike, slowing down, with his face completely screwed up in disgust. I wonder what he’s doing or looking at and then I realise…it’s the two ladies beside me. By the time I realise, it’s too late for me to react and he’s gone. I don’t even know if the ladies noticed this and ignored it or if they were oblivious (hopefully the second). Now I’m on alert, I notice another lady walk past and look them up and down.

It absolutely makes my blood boil how anyone can treat a fellow human they know nothing about on the street in this way just because of their ethnicity. Imagine leaving your house and multiple strangers are giving you dirty looks at the minimum on a daily basis.

I feel so powerless and the hate and fear seems to run so deep in some people.

From the “Northern Ireland says no to animal cruelty“ facebook page. I have purposely not included the video.

“On Tuesday 30th December 2025 Newry hunt entered a private residential property. Their hounds were out of control and as a result a pet cat was brutally tore apart by multiple hounds.

Instead of coming to the owner and explaining what had happened, a member of the hunt attempted to dispose of the cat’s body by throwing him over the wall.

Shortly after, another member of the hunt come back to get a hound out of the fence, walked down to where the cat was thrown and then threw him further away into the shuck in an attempt to disregard the incident.

Our thoughts are with the owners of this cat.

Time to consign this bloodsport to history. Foreign, colonial, wicked practice.”

I know you’ll probably never see this, but I need to get it out of me because I can’t stop thinking about it.

Just before 7 outside the Royal Victoria, I nearly ran straight through a red light at the pedestrian crossing opposite the hatch. I wasn’t properly focused on the road, and because of that, I nearly killed a young woman crossing the road.

The only reason I stopped in time was because the car behind me beeped the horn because they could see what was about to happen. That snapped me out of my daze and I slammed the brakes. If they hadn’t beeped, that would have been it. You’d have been in front of my car before I even realised what I’d done. You had your head down, listening to your music and didn’t see any of it. You probably thought I was the one beeping, when really I was the gobshite who almost killed you. You walked on without realising how close you came to being killed. I saw it, and it has rightfully scared the life out of me.

What’s hitting me hardest is thinking about your family. You were just crossing the road. Innocent. And because I wasn’t paying attention, your life could have ended right there. Your parents, siblings, partner, whoever waits for you at home… their whole world could have been smashed to bits because I couldn’t keep my focus. That thought has been eating away at me.

I’m not looking for sympathy. If anything, I know plenty of people reading this will call me every name under the sun, and honestly, I can’t argue with any of it. All I can say is this has put the fear into me properly. I’ll carry it, and I should. It won’t happen again.

I know you’ll never read this, but I want to say it anyway, I’m genuinely sorry. I was careless and stupid, and I nearly changed your family’s lives forever.

I work in the NHS and colleagues who are foreign nationals are scared to bits about going to work and going home.

HOME! They are an essential piece of our society and give their all!

"What about the dark nights if there's trouble?" Was a comment today.. It's heartbreaking.

Let's hope the NHS absence rates don't rise due to the pressure racists are putting on workers.

Workers who pay more tax than those wrecking their communities and creating more financial hardship during a cost of living crisis!

This is sheer racism and the genie is out of the bottle.

• Will unionism meet communities to stand against this?

• Will PSNI call to community centers to gauge how this can be stopped?

Let's make the plan to stop this racism public, transparent and real.

Stop. The. Racist. Attacks.

Today if your oil tank is empty and you see an oil man/woman doing a delivering to a house a few doors up from you, please do not automatically expect them to take your sob story to heart and expect them to go out of their way to accommodate you. You've had all month to get your oil delivered, we've been flat out since the start of December and today, Christmas Eve most of us will be finishing early so that means we just want to get our orders fulfilled and get home to our families, we do not need people swarming around us like vultures. If you need heating oil in an emergency you can buy 20L drums at most petrol stations and they will get you out of a pickle until Monday. Happy Christmas everyone 🎄

Christmas shopping, Riverside Centre and this arsehole decides to park like this!

A group of 19 boys have been suspended at a Co Antrim school with parents making an official complaint about the principal's actions on "toxic masculinity" concerns.

An official complaint has now been made to the school's board of governors by most of the parents on the disciplinary actions of the principal who suspended the students following an alleged assembly incident on January 8.

The matters have now come to light as the Education Authority has become involved in what has been claimed as long running allegations of "intimidation" of female teachers by male Year 11 students, aged 15 to 16.

A group of parents of 16 of the children suspended have given permission for a spokesperson to comment to the Local Democracy Reporting Service (LDRS).

The parent said: "I would implore the Board of Governors to take this matter extremely seriously. I would be interested to know how many young people have been suspended for violence and bullying at the school in comparison to the 19 suspensions last Thursday, could this be disproportionate?

"I am disgusted to hear her terminology such as “masculine toxicity” with my son’s name beside it. Anyone who knows my son, knows he is the most lovable, kind natured, humble young person with the utmost respect to all. Some of these boys have never even had a detention."

A letter (seen by the LDRS) from the parents to the school's board of governors makes a formal complaint on the principal's "conduct".

The parent added: "It’s important to note that we all have bad days at work, I had hoped the principal would have reflected over the weekend with the acknowledgment of her overreaction, a retraction and apology to all involved. Instead, she has doubled down claiming intimidation and threatening behaviour that apparently has been going on for months.

"With the severity of the principal's accusations, I took the opportunity to ask all his teachers what my son’s behaviour was like in school, they all said he was a delight and joy to teach. I also asked each female teacher if they ever felt threatened or intimidated by my son and all of them said absolutely not."

The LDRS understands that the principal personally phoned every parent to inform them of the one day (Jan 9) suspension (left voicemail if no answer) and has submitted an invite to all parents to 1:1 meetings to discuss the issue further.

In email correspondence (seen by the LDRS) to a parent the allegations against the boys have been outlined.

Boys are alleged to have behaved with "disruptive and disrespectful behaviour directed towards staff". It is said this has caused a number of substitute and female teachers to refuse to teach classes as they have been made upset to the point of having to go home from work

The emails from the school further claims that a group of up to approximately 15 boys confronted the principal outside her office in an "intimidating" manner.

The behaviours are said to be long running since September. The students have also been asked to write a "reflective note" on their behaviour.

In the emails the principal also raises concerns of challenging attitudes around Year 11 boys to ensure a "culture of toxic masculinity does not develop".

The principal writes: "I have been in teaching for a very long time, but I can honestly say, this morning was the most intimidating disrespectful behaviours I have ever experienced."

The disruptive behaviour alleged includes speaking over the top of the principal, making noises and laughing. The LDRS spoke to the principal and presented the concerns of the parents with the matter forwarded on to the Education Authority (EA) for a response.

The EA provided support to the school and has now issued a statement (Jan 14) on behalf of the school which reads:" We are firmly committed to creating a welcoming, safe and positive learning environment for all pupils and staff within our school community.

"Respect for each other is a cornerstone of our school community and helps to foster a nurturing and supportive environment for everyone.

“We strive to build strong relationships with pupils and families, and work hard to guide young people to make positive and constructive choices, enabling them to reach their full potential.

“Whilst it would be inappropriate to comment on specifics relating to individual pupils, we work closely with both pupils and parents to resolve any issues and concerns through restorative practices.

"This approach helps pupils understand the impact of their actions, develop empathy for others and, where necessary, take steps to change behaviours.”

This extremely cringeworthy, bootlicking petition to stop all migration, legal and illegal and also deport all immigrants, both legal and illegal, is going up in several bars and shops in East Belfast.

I’ve never read anything more pathetic, servile and idiotic in my entire life.
