@AnnaKernahan @Fridays4future @GretaThunberg @yca_ni @Briansmyth99 @SeamasBelfast @vanessa_vash @Luisamneubauer @BCScotland You take care. Looking after yourself isn't a luxury, it's a necessity, especially if you want to be able to help others.
Take some guilt-free time to relax, recharge and reconnect. You'll only come back stronger for it. ❤️
@WDINIreland @allianceparty I didn't say that. Yet again you are misquoting me in an attempt to smear me and whip up anti trans sentiment. If this continues, I will block.
@DamianFromDerry @ChiefConPSNI I saw the banner, but there were a number of others so wasn't certain where it had occurred.
This is welcome news from #GOLI. Anyone in that room who did not report this conduct is complicit in this conduct and should be disciplined.
RT @AmandaFBelfast: NEW: Statement released by the Grand Orange Lodge of Ireland in response to a video circulating on social media relating to Michaela McAreavey.
@BillGillespie88 @ChiefConPSNI That's why the police will review it for any offences.
It's also why I think the recommendation of Judge Marrinan that sectarianism should be a hate crime need brought forward as part of the Hate Crime Bill which I am working on.
@Robsski1967 Utterly and unashamedly sectarian.
@thattwitjohnny It's the first time I have ever seen it or been aware of its existence. One of the most shocking things was that people in that room clearly knew the words: it's clearly been doing the rounds for some time. That is chilling.
@SeamusChara @ChiefConPSNI He has reassured me that it is being investigated for any offences.
@weclomescones @ChiefConPSNI I contacted him, seeking reassurance that this was being investigated for potential offences. Simon has confirmed that it is.
My heart goes out to Michaela's family: I can't imagine their hurt and anguish hearing her name and brutal murder being subjected to such contemptible abuse.
Those men have wives, daughters, sisters, mothers. How can they be so devoid of empathy or compassion? Truly disturbing.
@brendancbrowne @KateNicholl Hi Brendan, the flags are due to be removed after the Jubilee by the local lodge. They should start coming down on the 6th/7th.
RT @KateNicholl: The fact that the words to the song were known and that it was sung during a centenary event at an Orange Order Lodge is disturbing. I have also written to Mervyn Gibson to ask what action he will be taking.
RT @KateNicholl: Very few things shock me, but the hatred displayed in the video of men singing & laughing about the horrific murder of a young woman is incompressible. How her poor family must feel. I have reported to the police.
RT @AmandaFBelfast: I hate that I am talking to @u105radio this morning. I wish I hadn’t seen it. It’s just grim. Don’t look at it. Or share it. I understand and frequently enjoy dark humour but that isn’t what the clip and song about Michaela McAreavey is. It’s just cruel. And base sectarianism.
RT @SorchaEastwood: I feel sick after seeing that video. My eyes just filled up with tears that monsters would do this. Sometimes I do feel scared about the level of hatred that is still out there. It is sick & worrying.Let's remember Michaela & light she brought to the world, thinking of her family
RT @sianalliance: I was sent the video last night and it brought me tears. Michaela was not a political or public figure. She was a young woman taken so senselessly from her loving family. There’s no justification for the actions in that video. We have a long way to go. My love to her family today
Having seen the utterly vile and depraved video of those revelling in the murder of Michaela McAreevy, I feel sick. This gratuitous sectarian hatred is a cancer in our society that needs rooted out. I've raised it with @ChiefConPSNI and will also be raising it with #GOLI.
RT @ShellKell00: Wonderful to attend the lighting of the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee Beacon at SS Nomadic this evening. #belfast #JubileeWeekend @belfastcc
RT @connieegan94: Second Jubilee event of the day was lighting of a Beacon at Bangor Castle this evening 🔥
Great turnout and fantastic performance from Bangor Ladies Choir. Over 2000 beacons are being lit up across the UK to mark the #PlatinumJubilee.
@Patrici05657415 @CharltonPlaque Simply untrue. We have and will continue to challenge that.
