Let’s just give Ulster back to the pikeys and have done with it. British police should be protecting us on the mainland:

It is the perception or fear that that is happening due to the sea border that is a cause of these riots , along with the fact people didn’t get prosecuted under Covid laws for attending a funeral 

People riot there when they’re told to. 
they’ll stop when they’re told to too, but they won’t be told while Arlene seems to be intent on claiming the real criminals are Sinn Fein people who attended a funeral

The Nationalists will sit back and watch the Loyalists implode.

The fact that Brexit is causing loyalists to riot must be sending some heads into a right old spin

Along with the fact the police are actually using water cannons as often advised as a solution

She has a point re the funeral, however shit loads of folk have been pushing covid boundaries and her banging on about the chief constable is ridiculous. 

As for the riots: we've got them all over, they just do them better over there.

Loads of factors contributing and not unexpected.

Most of these are kids, like we're seeing all over. 

Can chuck all sorts of reasons at it, but they could have gold on the shelves and would still be having kick off.

Half the rioters just look like yoof being scallies and doing stuff because a) they're bored and b) they can get away with it.  I'm sure they don't give a feck about Brexit 

They don’t

They're told what to do though.

If you think this is spontaneous you’re a bit naive.

This. 

Some reduction in product availability may upset a few, but its far to easy and shallow just to suggest it's as simple as this.

Some community figures, with their own agendas will use anything to shift things their own way.

It goes right the way into Stormont- going to take decades more to ease tensions, if ever.

Boredom is part of it. Look at other cities beyond Ireland.

Of course it's a bit more orchestrated over there, by those with political motives.

Spring time is often the start of riot season; it's no great surprise they've happened now.

May have misunderstood your point but do you think the brexit reason given for the riots is about shortage of products? It’s nothing to do with products it’s the very check coming into NI from Britain, the so called sea border ,even if there was plenty of products coming in these riots would be going on because of these checks. 
there have been warnings of them for a while, workers threatened and everything for carrying out their work of checking lorries 
 
there will be loads of bored scallies joining in and loving it but it’s not boredom that caused it or spring , or a lack of products , they will be told when to riot and they will be told when to stop. 
it won’t be politicians or the psni that tell them either.
