@f505eb72b9cd493 @Louise74611612 @BT19692 @rodneyedwards If you think I'm covering up anything, come out from behind your anonymity and make that allegation again.
@ilovepreserves @allianceparty @jk_rowling I did, though the primary difference is my juridiction and constituency are not where she lives, hence the lack of interest. No-one should ever face death threats.
And it is homophobic to assume all gay men are predators.
@kathrynosulli13 @allianceparty @ilovepreserves If you're worried about how he earns his living, don't take your kids to the show.
@VernMachil @tallulahbang @allianceparty Gary was a paedophile. He was not a drag performer.
Learn the difference.
@melanieander3y @allianceparty Child safeguarding always comes first. As you would have heard me say clearly in the interview and in replies on this thread.
@frostickles @tallulahbang @allianceparty There are a lot of "gender critical" women on my thread regularly and often validly complaining about abuse directed at them.
Then I see them dishing out abuse towards others with whom they are conversing.
If you want a civilised exchange, start with your own tone.
@Wokies1 @ExBusinessman @allianceparty Oh for goodness sake. I'm not "mixed up in kink or various vices". I'm saying a young performer shouldn't face death threats and intimidation, or false accusations of being a paedophile.
I'm not asking or forcing anyone to take their child: that's up to the parents.
@EcceMandy @ExBusinessman @allianceparty I'm well aware of it. Which is why there is a completely innocent explanation.
Children are not being encouraged into sexual activity, or groomed for abuse or forced to watch age inappropriate material.
They are children's books read by a performer.

Keep spreading the kindness - you're a ray of sunshine 🌞 🥰
@paulmurphy68 @allianceparty No idea who you're referencing? We were involved in every single attemp to bring about power-sharing and an end to violence.
@UselessSpy @Mickey08142015 @allianceparty Because our members opposed that Unionist government and wanted to have powersharing.
@SUladh @allianceparty I have close protection detail. My home and office are fortresses; the latter has been petrol bombed twice. The death threats are ongoing. I've been spat at, jostled, received bullets in the post, had my car kicked and had golfballs thrown at me, etc.
Yeah, just inconvenience.
@stewartycfc @hughquinn31 @allianceparty My school bus was stoned in the 70s while I was at primary school because I was a Protestant. I had missiles thrown at me walking home from town/uni in the 90s because of that, too.
What's your point?
@supershocked44 @BelfastBooks @KellieTurtle I was asked to help? I wasn't being superior?
@seandebrun2 I am also challenging the legitimacy lent to these groups when politicians, public bodies and even the @NIOgov are willing to meet with their members under the cover of umbrella groups such as the LCC about anything other than desisting and disbandment.
I've been pretty robust.
@seandebrun2 There have been multiple UVF-linked arrests over recent years.
I'm working in DoJ to challenge the coercive control and serious harm that active paramilitary groups exert over communities through the Executive's Tackling Paramilitarism Programme which I lead.
1/2
@BelfastBooks @KellieTurtle @EastBelfastGAA was founded with the specific objective of bringing together those from across the community, from all different backgrounds, to enjoy the sport. Their President has already said that they will use their voice for change.
@BelfastBooks @KellieTurtle Unionists are entitled to a view on the rules, as is anyone.
They are not entitled by threat, harassment, intimidation or other means to prevent those who want to join the GAA and play the sport in their local public facilities from doing so.
Happy to help.
RT @GoTeamNI: It's confirmed... Northern Ireland have now reached a new record of medals won at the Commonwealth Games, breaking 1986 games tally of 15.
Sweet sixteen so far... and 3 days left!
Go Team NI 👏👏👏
RT @KarenDouglas_NI: Delighted to visit @ArdsBusiness to hear about the critical engagement with SMEs. Spoke with entrepreneurs in @ANDborough who are thriving. Delighted to join you all in celebrating 30 years in business #SME #AND #supportlocal #supportlocalbusiness
