The Guardian view on far-right violence: digital radicalisation is threatening democracy | Editorial
The outbreak of racist violence in Northern Ireland this week is connected to the politics of migration, but not in the way that the mob and those who incited it claim.The ostensible trigger was a brutal assault, partially captured on video. A man of Sudanese origin has been charged with attempted murder. The attack was depicted as part of a wider threat to white Britons by foreign “invaders”.
