’Extraordinary demonisation’ of the public in Dublin following riots over stabbings

Author Douglas Murray slams the “extraordinary demonisation” of the public by politicians and others following riots in Dublin over the stabbing of five people, allegedly by an illegal immigrant. “It’s appalling watching people riot like this and burning down cars and buses, particularly in Dublin where everyone has a memory of that sort of thing happening in not too distant memory,” Mr Murray told Sky News host Rita Panahi. “Ireland by the way doesn’t seem to be a country which needed a fresh ethno-religious conflict to be inserted into it. “But there we go, the brilliance of the politicians in this generation have managed just that. “The demonisation of the public reminds me of just so many times this has happened before.”
