A Scottish politician criticized the BBC for describing violent rioters in Belfast as 'anti-immigration campaigners,' arguing the euphemistic language legitimizes racism and criminality when the core reality was arson targeting immigrant homes. The Belfast violence did occur following a knife attack, with vehicles and infrastructure set alight during disorder that authorities blamed on far-right agitation — though descriptions vary between 'anti-immigration protests' (mainstream media) and 'racist rioting' (Greer's framing). The substantive disagreement is whether 'anti-immigration campaigners' accurately describes people committing arson and violence, or whether that language sanitizes the racial nature of the attacks.
