London (Britain) – Anti-immigration protests have escalated into clashes with Police in several towns in Northern Ireland this week, marking a new wave of unrest to hit the United Kingdom.

About 40 officers have been injured, and 15 arrests have been made.

2.The most intense violence took place on Tuesday in Ballymena, when hundreds of masked rioters attacked Police and set buildings and cars on fire. A smaller crowd threw stones, fireworks and petrol bombs at Police on Wednesday, as Police officers responded with water cannon.

3.Dublin councillor Malachy Steenson led the local crowd. The crowd chanted, “Ireland belongs to the Irish only. Kick out the illegal immigrants.” Steenson alleged that the Irish Government was settling Romanian, Palestinian and Afghan immigrants.
