Reports of disturbances in #Barry. My dad's sister's second husband's third cousin lives there, and we drink in the same pub. He's gonna keep me in the loop.

The information on Barry is rolling in as we speak. Last night, 50 white men showed up to a fish🐟 and chip🍟 shop on 296 #HoltonRoad, if I recall correctly.

There seem to have been a few different instigators, a number of arrests were made in #Barry last night. They went to the fish and chip shop owned by #EdithGillespie, who has a husband who is a coloured man

They were all throwing stones at the fish and chip shop last night. I'm not sure that it was open, you know. My mate didn't say it was open.

At least one of these men is Jeremiah McCarthy. He was arrested last night in #Barry. He will later go on to say in court that he was drunk🍺, and that he wasn't aware he was throwing stones at the door🚪of the fish and chip shop
