How do Britons make their voices heard, and what happens when people feel nobody is listening? Following a second night of disorder in Belfast, questions are being asked about public anger, political representation and whether Britain’s institutions are responding to the concerns of ordinary people.

Journalist Adam James Pollock, reporting from Northern Ireland, brings the latest from the ground as authorities struggle to restore order and politicians search for answers.
We’ll also hear from Jamie Bryson, editor of Unionist Voice, and Mick Fealty, founding editor of Slugger O’Toole, on what is driving the unrest, whether political leaders have lost touch with public concerns, and how people can make their voices heard without violence.
