So, according to a tiny (often violent) minority here, our culture is under threat from immigrants. Which culture would that be, then? The Irish one or the British one? Both, if the Tricolour and Union Jack waving crowd of ‘protesters’ in Belfast the other week is to be believed.

It was quite an eclectic group, in other ways too. At least two – yes, two – convicted paedophiles (one from each jurisdiction) were stood amongst the protesters as they chanted “paedos” at an anti-fascist gathering standing opposite. I know, words fail me too.

Some would claim it’s our ‘Christian’ culture that’s under threat, especially from people of the Muslim faith. This would be the same Christianity that was founded on the teachings of a brown-skinned, Middle Eastern man called Jesus, who is honoured by Muslims as their second-most important prophet.

Going by his teachings, I’m pretty certain that the man himself would have been standing with those being attacked recently, whether verbally or physically, rather than with their attackers. (Just as he would have been on the opposite side to his self-declared ‘devotees’ amongst our elected representatives who, a little earlier this year, refused to support an assembly motion calling for a ceasefire in Gaza.)
