I’M GOING to keep this simple. The Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) advises against all travel to Sudan. FCDO ‘advises against all travel to Sudan because of the ongoing military conflict in Khartoum and other parts of the country. This does not include the Hala’ib Triangle and the Bir Tawil Trapezoid where FCDO advises against all but essential travel.’
The Irish equivalent, the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, gives the same advice. That department says Do Not Travel in BIG WRITING on a red background. We all know since we were children that red means DANGER. ‘This is our highest level of warning. You should not travel to this country or territory. If you are already in this location, you should consider leaving if it is safe to do so. Our ability to provide consular assistance to Irish citizens in this location is extremely limited.’
The FCDO even puts the whole country in red, just in case the simpletons don’t understand how dangerous it is.
(Above. Red means danger.)
So can someone please explain to me why both the UK and Irish governments are importing people from this ultra-dangerous country to Britain and Ireland and the bit they argued about for all those years – Northern Ireland? Explain that to me?
The news of an attempted beheading on the streets of Belfast and the disorder that followed is the lead in both the Times and the Irish Times. The Times of London had the more detailed report and even dispatched two hardy reporters to Belfast, which I am sure they loved.
‘Under the streetlights, a man writhed on the ground while an attacker straddled him holding a kitchen knife, ready to strike his already bloodied face again. As the attack continued onlookers shouted about a possible beheading.’
Into this terrifying scene came Matt McKiernan who also uses the Irish version of his name, Maitiu Mág Tighearnán, armed with his son’s hurl. The Times had to explain this to its readers: ‘the wooden stick used to play hurling, the popular Gaelic sport.’
McKiernan told the Daily Mail: ‘I really thought someone was going to lose their life. I’d taken my son to hurling practice earlier that evening and so I’d got out of the car, gone to the boot and grabbed his hurling stick.
‘Instinct took over and I ran over and I smashed this guy over the head with the hurling stick. Right on the flat side, about three times. As hard as I could. I hit this guy again, hard, but it didn’t seem to faze him. He did stumble back, though, and dropped the knife. I think another man who’d been watching came in and kicked the knife away. We were trying to roll the attacker on to his stomach to subdue him but he was struggling. The police then arrived and four officers took over before armed tactical support turned up.’
Maitiu Mág Tighearnán continued: ‘People have called us heroes but to be honest I’d like to think most people would’ve got stuck in and helped if they could. I just hope the victim pulls through and manages to recover as best he can.’
No, they wouldn’t. Maitiu Mág Tighearnán was brave and courageous and probably saved that man’s life.
Karen Mulholland, 36, who lives two doors down from the block of flats where the attack took place, said she called 999 after hearing a man screaming: ‘What did I do? Help me.’ Her partner jumped in the car and was the first on the scene, ‘but didn’t have anything to protect himself’ so hurried back to the house, by which point others had arrived. ‘He was stabbing him and stabbing him. There was blood everywhere. My partner has seen some things but said the evil in that man’s eyes frightened him.’
She said there was ‘easily 20 minutes of stabbing’, adding: ‘I was absolutely petrified.’
And what of the man from Sudan doing all the stabbing? How did he get to Belfast? Chief Constable Jon Boutcher, speaking at Stormont alongside Northern Ireland’s political leaders, said the Sudanese man had claimed asylum in Belfast in February 2023 after arriving from Dublin. He originally left Sudan for Paris, before arriving in Dublin. He was granted leave to remain in the UK until 2028. Of course he was.
As for the disorder overnight, these people are thugs. Burning buses and wrecking your own neighbourhood is stupid and will do nothing to move politicians on this utterly mad immigration policy of granting asylum to people from countries British and Irish citizens are told not to travel to, such is the danger.
It is time to take on the entire Asylum Industrial Complex. I’d start with the very simple task of boycotting anyone who is involved in it – especially the lawyers. We Irish actually invented the term and action of ‘boycott’.It comes from boycotting not just the English landlord (Captain Boycott) who evicted native Irish from the lands, but importantly anyone who dared to move into the land.
I now bequeath this to the rest of the British Isles. You’re welcome.
Anyone who is involved with importing this kind of barbarity into the British Isles by way of the asylum system (not legal immigrants who have taken the time and decency to come here legally) the NGOs, the lawyers and even the judges should be ashamed of themselves and shunned from all civilised society. They probably hang out only with their fellow left-wingers but I think it is a start.
If only we could put them all on a plane to lovely Sudan. That would be justice.
