Interviewed by ZDF on role of social media in Belfast riots

Interview on ZDFheute Nachricten, 10 June

Yesterday I was interviewed by German public service broadcaster ZDF about the racist violence in Northern Ireland over the past few days. Anti-immigration protests and related violence have taken place in Belfast and several other towns in the region, sparked by a knife attack by a Sudanese man on Monday night.

I commented on the role of far-right agitators and online platforms in the coordination of the protests.

Thanks to Joe Evans for the interview. You can view the segment below (from 09:56 onwards).
