'Anti-immigration' riots reached crisis point last night after a leisure centre offering urgent shelter to families was attacked and torched by masked yobs in Northern Ireland.
Around a dozen hooded thugs incinerated Larne Leisure Centre in County Antrim, which is believed to have taken in Romanian immigrants and other families to shield them from this week's 'racist thuggery'.
It is understood the people who had been seeking shelter there had already been moved to another emergency accommodation before the blaze broke out.
Hate appears to be being stirred online, with 'protestors' on social media pages seemingly encouraging thugs to hunt down Romanian people.
This has seen scores of those who call County Antrim home face days of fear - with some families and businesses feeling they had to put signs on their doors to declare their nationality.
