    A new Northern Ireland hate group has emerged on Facebook. The work of what appears to be a sad group of students, it was created last week and targets young Romanian women who sell roses in Belfast city centre.

    The racist group, entitled ‘abusing Belfast rose sellers’ has already attracted 343 members from both sides of the traditional divide in this region. Its comment zone is full of hateful comments.

    An ‘Alistair Frew‘ wrote; 

    “ Loving this i fuking hate the bastards im going to get a big bag of coppers and throw them at them someday…. Unfortunately im in london admo so ill have to make do with throwing them at asian rose sellers….. its just not the same…….”

    Kyle Burnside contributes;

    “ if you talk to them in a borat accent and pretend that they’re jews its quite effective.”

    Then there is Jordan Patrick Ryles who says;

     they always pester me outside of limelight. the best thing i seen though when they where there was a tramp who came over with a trolley full of random shit and a sign saying “fuck the rose sellers, buy random shit from me instead” hah! fucking hilarious”

    Another comment came from Andy Stewart who wrote:

    my mate actually pissed on one while we distracted her..she wasnt a happy romanian..”

    Time for the Assembly to look into online bulling and hate me thinks.
