Ballymena's foreigners put up union flags hoping to be spared violence
When the mob comes hunting down Clonavon Road the foreigners who remain entrust their fate to stickers on front doors and flags on windows that signal they are the good foreigners, the foreigners who cause no trouble, and deserve to be spared. 'Filipino lives here,' declare posters with the Filipino flag, pasted as talismans against destruction. Other families have erected union jacks and loyalist bunting in hope of deflecting the crowd's wrath and avoiding selection. 'We put it up yesterday,' said Blanka Harnagea, 38, an immigrant from the Czech republic, indicating the British flag on her living room window. Was it working? A wry smile. 'We're still here.' On a street of scorched, abandoned homes it was a fragile victory because no one knows if the rioting that has scarred the Antrim town of Ballymena this week will abate or continue and spread to other towns in Northern Ireland. Hundreds of people, many masked and hooded, targeted foreign-owned homes and businesses on Monday and Tuesday in a spree of smashing, burning and missile-throwing that turned into assaults on police that left 32 officers injured and several properties and vehicles torched. In the House of Commons, Keir Starmerjoined Northern Ireland politicians in condemning the violence and pleading for calm. But foreign residents in Ballymena still grappled with the decision: flee, or hunker down and hope for the best? 'The crowd was banging on the door and we were all upstairs,' said David, a 28-year-old Polish man who withheld his surname. Two Polish and Bulgarian families –about 12 people in all – had clustered together for safety and wedged a sofa against the front door when the mob smashed windows and set fire to the living room, he said. 'I smelt the smoke. We came down and ran out the back door to the police station.' On Wednesday afternoon the sun shone and debris from the night's mayhem had been cleared away but the food processing plant worker and his pregnant girlfriend were packing and preparing to relocate – just for a few days, they hope, but some members of her family wish to return to Bulgaria. 'I'm here 14 years, never anything like this,' said David. His voice shook. The violence erupted on Monday after a vigil for a teenage girl who was allegedly sexually assaulted by two 14-year-old boys. When they appeared in court a Romanian interpreter read them the charge of attempted rape. The vigil was peaceful but when a crowd broke away and started attacking homes occupied by foreigners on Clonavon Road and nearby streets a full-scale riot erupted, drawing police who then bore the brunt of attacks. Liam Kelly, chair of the Police Federation for Northern Ireland, said his members had prevented a pogrom. 'What we saw was totally mindless, unacceptable, and feral.' Some native residents of Ballymena, in contrast, believe it was necessary – an overdue reckoning. Authorities have turned the predominantly Protestant working class town, 25 miles north west of Belfast, into a 'dumping ground' for immigrants and asylum seekers, they said. 'The riots have a valid point; we are being over-populated,' said Danielle O'Neill, 32. 'It sounds like I'm racist but I'm not. It's like an invasion. I don't feel safe walking the streets anymore. Just yesterday one of them was following me and eying me up.' O'Neill credited some arrivals with working hard and creating jobs but she accused others of criminality – a bane that authorities ignored. 'If they can terrorise our kids we can terrorise the town. It's a way of getting our voices heard.' Her husband, Ryan O'Neill, 33, said residents had to take action against alleged criminals. 'If the government won't put them out, we'll put them out.' One resident said rioters – some with paramilitary connections – had ordered householders to deactivate door bell cameras and other devices that might identify those responsible for the mayhem. Proclaiming Filipino nationality has had limited value – at least one Filipino household was targeted and had its car torched. Tyler Hoey, Ballymena's deputy mayor and a Democratic Unionist party councillor, condemned the violence and said foreigners were welcome but accused the UK government of allowing 'busloads' of unvetted people to settle in the town. 'Unfettered immigration needs to be addressed.' Dee, 53, a bottling plant worker, said the rioting reflected a belief that new arrivals received lavish state benefits and that police and politicians turned a blind eye to anti-social behaviour. 'I'm working my balls off and paying my taxes while they get put up in luxury hotels and the police let them do what they want. It's a dumping ground. No one cares about us, we're forgotten.' Dee said he recognised – and welcomed – Catholics from other parts of Ballymena who joined the protests. 'They wouldn't normally be in a loyalist area like this but they came down. It's a very good thing.' Dee regretted that his immediate neighbours – a Slovak family – had their windows smashed. The previous occupants were 'a nightmare' but the Slovaks were 'brilliant' and should not have been targeted. 'They got hit in the heat of the moment. It was a mistake.' Those responsible had apologised and told the family it could stay, said Dee. On an adjoining street Harnagea, the Czech mother of five hoped her newly installed union jack would bolster the protective efforts of her neighbour, a local man. 'He knows we're good people, that we don't do any harm,' she said. 'I think he has explained that to the others.' Even so, as a precaution she has moved documents and other belongings to another location. 'I haven't slept in three days. I don't know if I'll sleep tonight.'

Lifeguards 'could have deterred' boy from fatal jump at Welsh beach
Lifeguards 'could have deterred' boy from fatal jump at Welsh beach David Ejimofor, 15, died after getting into trouble in the water off Aberavon Beach in south Wales David Ejimofor (Image: St. Joseph's Catholic School & Sixth Form Centre ) A teenager who drowned at a South Wales beach in a post-exam 'coming of age ceremony' might not have died if a lifeguard had been present, a coroner has said. David Ejimofor, 15, died after getting into trouble in the water off Aberavon Beach, Port Talbot. His family said he jumped into the sea with friends at high tide in what was said to be a well-known local end-of-school-year tradition. 'Vibrant and promising' David was rushed to the Princess of Wales Hospital in Bridgend, but he could not be saved. In a prevention of future deaths report, the assistant coroner for Swansea and Neath Port Talbot said the teenager drowned in June 2023 after leaping from the breakwater. Don't miss a court report by signing up to our crime newsletter here . Edward Ramsay outlined how no lifeguard was stationed around the pier to stop the dangerous activity, as had been the case in the past. The coroner said he had received no explanation why the measure had been stopped before the tragic incident, and warned future deaths could occur unless safety measures are improved. 'The breakwater should not have been used for that purpose but was known to have been used for that purpose by local children and teenagers, especially in the spring and summer months when the weather was good and the tides were high,' Mr Ramsay said. Article continues below 'In the past, lifeguards had been stationed at or around the pier, at these times, to deter this activity. No lifeguard was present at the time that David jumped. 'Had there been one, it is possible that David would not have jumped and therefore would not have drowned. I was not given, in evidence, a satisfactory or cogent explanation as to why that measure had been removed prior to David's death, nor why that measure continues to be absent today,' the coroner continued. Why we cover inquests – and why it's so important that we do As painful as these proceedings are for those who have lost a loved one the lessons that can be learned from inquests can go a long way to saving others' lives. The press has a legal right to attend inquests and has a responsibility to report on them as part of their duty to uphold the principle of open justice. It's a journalist's duty to make sure the public understands the reasons why someone has died and to make sure their deaths are not kept secret. An inquest report can also clear up any rumours or suspicion surrounding a person's death. But, most importantly of all, an inquest report can draw attention to circumstances which may stop further deaths from happening. Should journalists shy away from attending inquests then an entire arm of the judicial system is not held to account. Inquests can often prompt a wider discussion on serious issues, the most recent of these being mental health and suicide. Editors actively ask and encourage reporters to speak to the family and friends of a person who is the subject of an inquest. Their contributions help us create a clearer picture of the person who died and also provides the opportunity to pay tribute to their loved one. Often families do not wish to speak to the press and of course that decision has to be respected. However, as has been seen by many powerful media campaigns, the input of a person's family and friends can make all the difference in helping to save others. Without the attendance of the press at inquests questions will remain unanswered and lives will be lost. After his death, the teenager's family set up a petition addressed to Neath Port Talbot Council demanding they improve the safeguarding at the beach. But the coroner said he had not been shown 'any evidence that other deterrence measures put in place since David's death (including clearer signage and a limited-height barrier) are otherwise working effectively to reduce the risk.' In a tribute, David's family said he was 'a vibrant and promising young boy' and a beloved 'son, brother, cousin, nephew and friend'. They also described him as 'well-behaved and God-fearing' with an 'unwavering passion for sports and health'. They said: 'He was always striving to be the best version of himself. He has an infectious smile, caring nature, and boundless enthusiasm. He touched the lives of many. 'David's dreams of a bright future were cut short, but his memory will forever live on in the hearts of those who knew and loved him." 'As described by locals, this is a 'yearly coming-of-age ceremony' practised after GCSEs and A-levels that the entire community is aware of,' his family wrote as part of the petition. 'If everyone, including schools, are aware of this practice, surely we would expect the council to have better safeguarding measures in place, especially at this time of year. 'David Ejimofor was not the first to suffer such a fate at the hands of this pier. We do not want David to be another statistic. Article continues below 'We want his name to serve as an end of this unfortunate trail. It is for this reason that we seek change and reform by improving safeguarding measures at Aberavon Beach.' The coroner's report has been sent to Neath Port Talbot Council, Associated British Ports and the Royal National Lifeboat Institution, who have 56 days to respond.
