Northern Ireland violence blamed on 'dishonest' Brexit
By EUobserver
Four nights of paramilitary violence in Northern Ireland was blamed on Wednesday on "dishonesty" over Brexit, by justice minister Naomi Long. More than 40 police officers have been injured in nightly rioting since Easter, blamed on loyalists angered at new customs borders with the mainland UK in the Irish Sea. UK prime minister Boris Johnson promised in advance of Brexit there would be no such border.
