Naomi Long MLA @naomi_long@respublicae.eu

@alistairjcbrown @LilyPinkBaker No, it was a genuine apology for having caused any distress with the mail. It hadn't occurred to me (honestly) that it would upset someone, but I accept that it did and apologised

I guess tweets aren't the best way to convey that.

@LilyPinkBaker @cullen_annette @allianceparty You didn't bring it to me? You tweeted it (incl. my address). I didn't belittle your concerns at all: I simply explained why we do it (it's usually well received and relatively unintrusive), acknowledged that you were distressed, and apologised to you. Anyway, all the best.

@LilyPinkBaker @cullen_annette @allianceparty I had apologised for any distress it caused under another comment, so I think that's quite unfair.

I simply said that it's usually well received. Not sure why you'd frame that as aggressive - it wasn't. I was just surprised that you'd found it upsetting.

@LilyPinkBaker Honestly? No. Popping a note through a letter box is one of the least intrusive forms of contact. People get mail of all kinds every day.

I'm sorry it caused you distress: it certainly wasn't intended to.

RT @micky_murray: I love seeing these painted utility boxes along the Lisburn Road.

I worked with Council on this project which seen a number of these old green, graffiti covered, utility boxes transformed into works of art along the Lisburn Road right up to Finaghy. https://t.co/jZ0dkARVyP

@cullen_annette @LilyPinkBaker @allianceparty We've done this for years and it has always been very well received.

This is the first complaint I can recall in nearly 30 years of campaigning.

@LilyPinkBaker Why would it be distressing to receive a handwritten letter?

RT @ClaireHackett_: Headed into #Dungannon earlier to do some canvassing, and my car broke down! So for now, just going to have to make do with whatever I can manage on Shank’s Mare. Living in a rural area, not having a car is a massive pain in the posterior…

RT @caolanalliance: As someone who suffers with Long Covid, and who was misdiagnosed with ME because they’re so similar, I completely understand the suffering and misunderstanding around this horrible illness. A clinical lead for ME would change my life and many others across NI. https://t.co/fUflJoG95V

Better is possible, but only if you vote for it. Joyce is committed to building a shared society and is a strong advocate for our rural communities 🗳 https://t.co/AUNML4p0dp
