RT by @bjacollins: Cara and Matt (with dog Brio) have just got married at Belfast City Hall.
When the ceremony ended they headed out to join the anti-racism rally.
Cara told us if it hadn’t been her wedding day, she would have been in the middle of it. @BelTel

Immigration is a good thing and we must play our part providing a safe home for refugees. This is best done through Irish Unity so we can take an all-Ireland approach without interference from Britain. One policy, one island, one country. @IrelandsFuture @irishborderpoll

RT by @bjacollins: Belfast ranks 32nd per capita for asylum seekers in the UK.
Northern Ireland hosts 2,379 in total. That’s 0.1% of its population.
NI is 97% white.
Asylum seekers are not “illegal migrants”; they’re going through a legal government process.

RT by @bjacollins: The family of the Belfast knife attack victim have issued a statement.
They "want to make it absolutely clear that overnight unrest is not welcome."
They praise the contribution of many migrants, who "we depend on them to make our country work".

RT by @bjacollins: I recognise and respect the right to peaceful and lawful protest. While people are understandably concerned and angry, there can be no justification for criminality, disorder or the destruction of property.
Violence and destruction are not the answer. It is wrong, diverts much-needed resources, creates fear and uncertainty, and leaves local communities to deal with the consequences.
Those responsible should stop immediately.

"Some day, surely, the penny will drop. Political leaders in Dublin, Belfast and London need to face up to the fact that planning for that change is long overdue."

RT by @bjacollins: The vicious attacker who attempted to murder a man in north Belfast last night is now in police custody.
My thoughts remain with the victim, his family & the local residents who witnessed such traumatic & distressing scenes.
The courage & quick actions of local people & the police who intervened to disarm the attacker undoubtedly prevented further harm & deserve the highest praise.
I was on the ground today speaking with local people & will continue to engage closely with the community & the PSNI as the investigation progresses.
We must allow justice to take its course & ensure the perpetrator faces the full weight of the law.
