Neo-Nazis slash Celtic supporter's throat in Belfast
http://www.anphoblacht.com/news/detail/26965
..............The attack took place 20 minutes after the PSNI was alerted by city centre bar staff that there was a gang intent on trouble stalking the streets. According to the bar staff, the gang had walked in around 1.45pm before the end of the football match and were overheard talking about “nabbing” Cliftonville supporters and giving them a hard time...........

Searchlight peddling disinfo - no suprise there then ;-
Guardian - Wednesday April 02 2008
Police have confirmed they are investigating a possible link between supporters of British neo-Nazi group Combat 18 and a mass loyalist attack on a Belfast pub in which one man had his throat slashed.
Hugh McAnally, 32, was beaten to the ground and had this throat cut as up to 50 people attempted to storm Cosgrove's bar on Saturday after the screening of the Celtic-Rangers Old Firm derby. Some of the mob shouted, "Combat 18" and "Section F", a far-right soccer hooligan gang in Northern Ireland, witnesses said......................

It's very depressing news, but continues an association that has been ongoing for some time.
Despite the hype regarding the 'Peace Process' and 'devolved self-government', what this actually means in practice is that local stooges get to implement second hand Tory cost-cutting policies being implemented by Nu Labour.
While the Celtic Tiger approach to economics succeeded in enriching Ahern and his clique in the South (Eire - the Irish Republic) the knock on side-effects bewitched a complacent bourgeoisie in the North into believing that their good fortune in its wake was solely due to their own good sense and judgement, vis-a-vis property prices and the effect that has on individual credit and that surely everybody benefitted. Wrong.
What exists today is a situation where those on average wages are looking at house prices at least ten times their annual income (as opposed to three times annual income prior to the 1990's) and those in the benefit underclass being excluded from having that status altogether.
And while 'security' is a relative term, a family with their name on the deeds of a property (even if technically owed to others) is far more socially secure than someone with a landlord. While quite possibly scoffed at by those of us with a less materialist bent, nevertheless that is how most families evaluate their wealth and social wellbeing.
In the meantime, a flood (not meant to be an incendiary word at all) of East European immigrants, mainly from Poland and the Baltic States, who had previously come in to fill construction jobs when the property market was buoyant are now having to compete with locals for scarce jobs which tend to be at the menial end of the scale.
Let me be among the first to say that of all Nations, the Irish of whatever nationality, being the 19th Century's Number One Emigrant White Niggers should be at the front of the queue when it comes to condemning racism, but that's just idealism. History is just a word to 90% of people.
However, C18 and it's local Loyalist Terror Gang sponsors haven't found quite the Wiemar style conditions they were expecting. But while there have been numerous attacks on foreign visiting workers and their homes and they wait for that field to blossom, there's always good old reliable sectarian hate which does a fair approximation to the brainless and alcohol fuelled.
The sad fact about inequality is that it does ignite the same old tedious and primitive demons just like always anywhere before ever, whether we like it or not.
And yet there's a theatre of surprise when it manifests itself.
