  1. Look, ill hold my hands up. Im the first to give Nolan shit when it comes to platforming far right people like Bryson and Allister, but this is an incredible interview.

    Fair play to Nolan for actually going to Sandy Row and interviewing this racist dickhead. Its clear there is an element of brain-rot in parts of our society (and I will both sides that) that needs to be educated. Not once did this man make a coherent statement. Also went on to bizarely blame the Falls Rd too at one point. Two Tier Policing. Foreigners actually opening shops and businesses.

    Fair play to Nolan for holding him to account. I still dont have much faith that Nolan wont revert to type in a few days and platform Bryson to once again tow the line of “citizens with genuine concerns”

  2. I’ve never seen such barefaced racism from somebody here.

    Disgusting.

  4. He likes the Chinese because they’ve worked all their lives

    But supports middle eastern people getting burnt out of their businesses

    And fully confident in his logic

    Jesus fucking christ there’s no saving us

  5. Sadly loyalism supports this view. Ethno-state obsessed fascists. Decades of treating education as the enemy showing through. We win by being better.

  6. This man makes the same sort of arguments some people on this sub make. Just no logic.

    Might need to dip out for a while, I’m gonna end up with a stomach ulcer watching this sort of stuff.

  7. Absolutely reprehensible. And frankly, the irony of it all. This cunt looks like he’s just back from 2 weeks sunning himself in Benidorm yet has the gall to complain of “too many foreigners” in the eighth wonder of the world, glorious Sandy Row.

    Vile human being and an embarrassment to Northern Ireland, but will likely be treated as a hero by some in his community.

  8. Nolan doing what he always does. Platforms the most extreme views, propagates and foments division. Builds up people like Jamie Bryson (or is Moore Holmes his new bestie?) and amplifies sectarian nobodies – the likes of Jim Allister, Kate Hoey and any other wing nut you care to mention.

    Then he walks it back and uses some working class tool, who buys into the nonsense Nolan has been spreading and makes a fool of them.

    The DUP and TUV have been extremely quiet the last few days and everything they have said has been with the caveat of “legitimate concerns”.

    Jim Allister and Carla Lockhart were FAR more vocal about Armagh flags on police cars than race riots. Get them on and ask why!!?

    Watch how Nolan pivots over the next few days to “legitimate concerns”. This is what he has been doing since day one. Have you not noticed how his fucking travesty of a tv show will stir the pot then throw in a very sad / disabled / addicted person Every. Fucking. Week.

    Stop falling for it. He is an absolute cancer.

  9. Nolan would have been better off talking to that door behind him than that caveman ffs. Absolutely thick as champ.

  10. The Chinese – a great bunch of (hard working ) lads

    The Muslims – not so much, apparently .

  12. Planters complaining about immigrants will never stop being funny.

  13. Never thought I’d say fair play to Nolan, but no other journalist would have been this straight talking. What a pitiful hated filled idiot. Can barely string a coherent sentence together and just parroting any oul crap he’s been told or has read online. If hell exists I hope ones like him enjoy the flames.

  14. There are some people that are beyond being educated, and unfortunately in this country we have a considerable amount of these idiots.

  15. good on nolan for actually talking straight to one of these people, like show it publicly how disgustingly polluted their views are

  16. Ah yes, this *checks notes*… Belfast, was lovely place once.

  17. I grew up here and have family with similar views. There’s just no critical thinking. I see it at this time of year in my own life and this guy is just another example of knowing the lines but not knowing why he’s saying them – generational hate. Another example of insular views and no empathy for anyone who isn’t in his tribe.

    It’s idiotic, not psychopathic.

  18. Nolan blocked me for slabbering about how often Alastair gets on his show so I can’t see this 😀

  19. Good Rangers lad. Him, his family and friends are filled with hate and always will be. They are a laughing stock 😂😂

  20. “You’re clearly not very intelligent” “you’re thick.”

    Fair play saying it like it is lol

  21. Does anyone else feel horribly depressed after watching that? It’s hard to believe that in this day and age that someone would be so proudly bigoted in an interview with a well known BBC journalist.

  22. I’d love to know how much taxes that fella had contributed to the economy

  23. The cognitive dissonance to say he doesn’t like black people and doesn’t want them here and then to say he isn’t racist is insane.

  25. Nolan: “Are you racist ?”

    Man: “No, I just don’t want them here”.

  26. I heard Frank Mitchell taking some local ghoul from GB news to take yesterday morning on the way to work (didn’t listen to him this morning as the new Here Comes The Guillotine was out), fair play to Frank, for all his wankery, he seems to try and play it balanced and isn’t afraid to ask legit questions.

  27. Why is it that these people that have racists views or participating in violent thuggery always have some sort of rangers paraphernalia on?

  28. This is a really good example of how you can’t argue with or reason with this kind of belief. You can see how much that man jumps around and picks up on anything he can to make the inconsistencies fit.

    “They pay taxes.”
    “What about our taxes?”

    It doesn’t matter that this response doesn’t make sense or isn’t related to the original statement. It helps him remain safely within the limits of his ideology.

  29. “I’m racist but” says the man as spouting racist shite.

  30. Honestly, i am not surprised by the guy’s rhetoric as he is using the “Truth” as he sees it. States he is not racist then goes on to be very racist again and again. Nolan may seem shocked by this but this is the predominant cultural point that he himself has stoked especially in the PUL community. the PUL have never been good at PR so when questions they go back to tried and tested answering questions with a question kinda shit.

  31. Nolan pure raging he’s across the street from a shop and can’t get a feed.

  33. Ah the Sandy Row Rangers club, home to Belfast’s sharpest minds and geopolitical experts. That was about as balanced and nuanced a take as you’re going to find in the place.

  34. Saw a comment earlier and whilst I don’t full agree with it, as a witty comment it was quite good

    “Man born from people who migrated to Ireland complains about people migrating to Ireland”

  35. How shocking the Nolan goes straight to fucking platforming these hateful voices.

    Freeze them out of the oxygen of press coverage. Talk to the victims and those targeted only. And then get out on the street and beat these fuckers back to the holes they crawled out of.

  36. That was wild but honestly not surprising given the age of the bloke and the area he’s in, you hear the same shit on the Shankill. They’ll never accept that their areas are changing, that’s what the DUP and TUV thrive on.

    He had one valid point about lack of housing and land being used for car parks but that’s got fuck all to do with immigrants and more to do with greedy politicians.

  37. I watched about a minute of that and had to turn it off. I’d get more sense from a turnip than that idiot.

  38. “You know who’s doing this… Starmer”… oh yeah the man who has barely been in Government a month.

  39. It never ceases to amaze me that these people bring up Starmer when he’s been in power for 10 minutes.

  40. They like the Chinese because they like the fucking food, that’s it. If they hated the food, they’d hate them as well.

  41. Can no unionist make a point on any subject without bringing sinn fein or the falls into it?

  42. Correct me if I’m wrong. But the silence from Unionist politicians during the hate fest would indicate this is the prevailing view of political Unionism, no?

  43. I’m actually astounded. I’m sitting here on my lunchbreak unable to eat, tears streaming down my face at the contempt this man has for other human beings. And not one fucking concrete, genuine reason to back it up. I’m disgusted, ashamed and fucking livid!!

    And then the cherry on top? “But, but, Sinn Fein”…. always have to get a dig in at themmuns. Yes the politicians have done zero to help but it’s been complete and utter radio silence from the DUP/TUV. They had plenty to say last week didn’t they!? Swear to fuck this victim complex is as much of an issue as the racism!

    Let me spell it out for the arseholes in the room- ethnic minorities are not stealing your jobs, your housing, your benefits. They’re not grooming your kids, attacking women, staging a coup to take over. Sinn Fein aren’t trying to eradicate your existence (and I’m not a SF voter btw). There’s more to life than your backward ignorance. Just a pity that you cannot open your minds to other possibilities.

    But it’s OK. Sure you’ll only get the news on your Korean mobile phone, while you drive your German car to lift the Indian for dinner tonight. Then after that you’ll use various Chinese made appliances to help run your home, whilst you relax on Swedish furniture, wearing clothes made in Turkey or Bangladesh, perhaps planning your 2 week all inclusive piss up in Benidorm or Tenerife where you’ll not even as much as sniff Spanish culture in the time you’re there. But sure what do I know, I’m only calling out the racist bigots and supporting the right to peaceful existence so I must be the one who cannot think critically 🙄
