ZERO TOLERANCE
19th June 2026
The Workers Party was proud to attend the rallies in Belfast and Derry on 13th June. Comrade Kevin McNally, east Belfast WP, was reflecting the view of a large majority when he told Al Jazeera that immigrants are productive and welcome in Northern Ireland. The Workers Party calls for a zero-tolerance approach to racial, religious, and all forms of hate crimes that have been taking place for far too long.
The far right groups across Britain and Ireland and further afield are joining forces to stir up hatred against their ethnic minorities communities and the far right in Northern Ireland are delighted to oblige by setting fire to homes and intimidating their neighbours and those of colour who have made the decision to live and work here and destroying their own communities.
The Workers Party is concerned that alongside the racism, sectarianism, misogyny and xenophobia have all raised their ugly heads again. One of the notorious right-wing figures who claims to be a proud nazi, has extended his list of victims to include communists, so we can assume trade unionists will be next as they are already attacking and threatening journalists.
It is time for action against these groups and their false narrative. Their ranks are made up of, wife beaters, sectarian murders, criminals and other thugs. This is not hyperbole.
According to the investigative website the Detail, of the adults arrested in Ballymena in 2025, 49% had been reported for domestic abuse and a similar relationship between right-wing rioters and domestic abuse was found in relation to the racist disorder in Northern Ireland in August 2024.
Loyalist paramilitary groups are also involved, directing children to riot and attack ethnic minorities. All of these activities must be stopped by the police, politicians, and civic leaders. Taxpayers are footing the bill for this mayhem and hate fest. It is time to call a halt once and for all.
