Naomi Long MLA @naomi_long@respublicae.eu

Been off @twitter for almost a month. Logged back on today and within minutes, wished I hadn't.

The trolling, negativity and abuse has plunged new depths (not just directed at me).

Have closed DMs & won't be on here much, so for constituency/other queries, use email in bio.

RT @EricHanvey2: Another poster torn down. Absolutely pathetic attempt to interfere with the democratic process.

Give what we've seen on our streets in the last few months there's a clear choice for voters in this election , mob rule or functioning democracy. https://t.co/U8N8w0JS2x

@AnnaKernahan @Fridays4future @fff_europe @oharamal @NicholaMallon @SeamasBelfast @CllrMichaelLong @PaulaJaneB @CaraHunterSDLP @stewartcdickson Anna, I have been off Twitter all month and just posting to say that I'm so sorry to read the utterly vile abuse posted in response to this Tweet. It's completely unacceptable, and I hope you report it. Don't let it deflect you. 💚

RT @DDawson2020: Absolutely disgusted and sickened that that the term, ‘Holiday Hunger’, is even a thing or is allowed to exist @niexecutive

When you place no value on our children, their education and a basic right to 3 square meals a day - you no longer serve any purpose!
Step up or step off!

RT @Kelmba: Today some organisations were successful in their U.K. Shared Prosperity Funding.
Other former #ESF groups were not. Redundancies are being confirmed.
Time has come for support for people with disabilities to be mainstreamed and not dependant on funding competitions.

RT @StephenFarryMP: It should never have come to this last minute scramble. SPF is less than we had with ESF. While today’s belated decisions will be a lifeline for some, they are very challenging for others. Concerns re transparency of decision-making and geographical spread.

RT @MensAdvisoryP: Today and everyday

Trans rights are human rights

Of course

Any male identifying person or non binary person who feels it appropriate to access services of support from the Men's Advisory Project will be made welcome and supported by appropriately trained specialist counsellors

RT @KateNicholl: This week funds to provide children with counselling & ensure they don’t go hungry have been cut. And no Assembly. Held hostage over something we can’t change. Don’t tell me that this is putting pressure on the EU & Westminster. It’s putting pressure on our kids & it’s criminal.

Shame on those who would threaten a primary school for any reason, let alone them allowing children to experience a sport.

@EastBelfastGAA and #StrandtownPrimary deserve better than this thuggery and intimidation.

@jammorrisonjohn Can you point out a single thing I said that doesn't apply equally to republican organised crime gangs?

I literally said 'Irrespective of the flag of convenience'.

They're two sides of the same coin.

@tell1999 Deflecting?

Read my tweet: it doesn't focus on the excuse, but the activity.

@Mr_windy_miller @mc39763951 We introduced problem-solving justice. I'd go further, but that isn't a DoJ issue: it needs a health-based, harm reduction approach, which in turn, needs reform of UKG drugs policy. I raised that repeatedly.

But drugs aren't the only illicit traffic. Targeting assets works.

@BT927PP Utter nonsense.

@Lactrollsintol @superglens Definitely criminals - quite possibly also drug dealers.

These organisations mainly exist now as organised crime gangs and little else: they pretend to care about other things to try to justify their continued existence, but they are there to feather their own nests.

@1stBaronetDSO I retweeted a colleagues condemnation earlier. I also didn't say whether this tweet was about loyalists or republicans: the same applies to both. They're organised criminals using a political cause to validate still existing in communites, on whom they feed like parasites.
