The unique scenes unfolded in Belfast last Saturday, and video clips from the demonstration, which have been widely circulated online, show a Northern Irish flag, an Irish flag and a British flag.
However, the demonstration degenerated into riots when immigration critics clashed with left-wing extremists outside the city hall, reports the Sunday World.

Both in Northern Ireland and in Ireland, there have been demonstrations against immigration recently, and the protests have on several occasions degenerated into riots.
Politicians in Belfast have condemned Saturday's events, calling the protesters a “fascist mob ” and “far-right thugs” – the latter a term widely used in England in the past week to describe the race riots there.
This is incredible. Catholics and Protestants are quite literally marching shoulder to shoulder in Belfast, Northern Ireland as they demand an end to Mass Immigration.
