@margaret19500 @allianceparty I'm not frowning on honesty nor denying her right to an opinion. I'm disagreeing with her. I think that's still allowed.
@BitcoinMaxi21m @allianceparty They didn't though. That's the point. People like John Hume opposed all violence.
@BrusselsBS @UlsterFryNI I'm actually just heading off today.
And I have made multiple comments on the young Noah's death. There are quite a few on my timeline from this week.
@5mininmyhead @Trish_NI @allianceparty I said that person was wrong. I also said it's wrong to assume their views are representative of others in the LGBTQIA community.
@RADIOPULster @Trish_NI @allianceparty Grow up,
@MLAsAndTheLike I'd say with an elephant-sized fox. 🙄
@LisaHar68665209 @allianceparty There is an inquest ongoing. I legally cannot comment or I could jeopardise both the inquest and any potential future criminal prosecution, as well as being held in contempt of court.
I want Fiona to find the truth so I won't do anything to risk this opportunity to get it.
@DominicDohertyj @andreemurphy You do realise I have no role in court proceedings? That the judiciary and PPS are entirely independent?
And on Andrée's point, I've opposed and will continue to oppose any attempt to deprive any Troubles victim of justice and truth by the UK Government.
@journeyman121_ @Trish_NI @allianceparty Seriously, if I was vote-chasing, I's be focusing on straight people. But I'm not - I see the harm these false accusations of grooming, sexualising, and paedophilia do to people's lives.
You've had the attention you clearly crave. Move on.
@CH000926 @Trish_NI @allianceparty If you can't see the context, where every single representative at Assembly and Westminster have always been male until (brightly dressed) @PatriciaOLynn won her seat or that it was said in jest, I can't help you.
It was actually a man, head of NASA, who coined the phrase btw.
@WrecklessGamer @liamnorris1001 @allianceparty You've been on here all day implying every drag queen is a paedophile. I don't think you get to call other people nasty, to be honest.
@BBrimd @WrecklessGamer @allianceparty I was explaining double entendre. And yeah, the panto is a good example of child-friendly entertainment, where there's mild innuendo, double entendre, principal boys who are girls and panto dames who are men. And it happens in a theatre just like these performances.
@LonsdaleKeith @WrecklessGamer @allianceparty I wasn't suggesting either were kids shows. I was explaining double entendre to people pretending not to understand it.
Panto is full of it and it is a kids show, though, so not an odd analogy really.
@ExBusinessman @allianceparty I'm familiar with both. Perhaps I can introduce you to the concept of double entendre?
The name references that the act is so fabulous, it isn't just the icing on the cake, it's the cherry on top!
A quite innocent explanation with a subtle double-meaning for those so inclined.
RT @allianceparty: Alliance MLAs @Kelmba @dhoneyford @DannyDonnelly1 have met with CCMS to discuss a educational issues, including finances, special educational needs, teacher pay awards & the response to the pandemic, as well as agreement on the need to resolve the matter of post-primary transfer.
@UlsterFryNI Which of you modelled for the lead character drawing? 🤔 😂
@shock_flames @miccamaccamoo @allianceparty That's not how I'd classify drag artists.
I've no desire to forced anyone to go. If parents want to take their kids, that's up to them. If not, fine.
But, if they want to falsely label people paedophiles and threaten them, then I'm going to take issue with it. As will the law.
@democracycoma1 @allianceparty I do. You simply haven't been convinced by your argument.
Anyway, things to do!
@shock_flames @miccamaccamoo @allianceparty Ah, disagree on that point. And suspect this is your main objection.
@shock_flames @miccamaccamoo @allianceparty At last we agree: child safeguarding shouldn't be sacrificed and isn't. Children are accompanied by parents who book the events.
If there are any concerns about an individual performer, they should report it.
Accusing all drag artists of being paedophiles isn't safeguarding.
