Irish Torquemada goes quiet

Developments.

She’s locked her account AND she’s blocked me (and I assume a great many other critics of her venomous bullying). Belt AND braces.

She may be feeling unnerved because Allison Bailey, whom she casually called a lot of harsh names yesterday, has demanded a retraction.

Cllr Power you've popped up in my mentions. Would you please confirm that you are not suggesting that's unacceptable to follow me on Twitter. If you are, please say why. I note that @RobertBohan, who I do not know, has blocked me on Twitter. Look forward to hearing from you.

Cllr Power & Mr Bohan, you have called me transphobic. You have also labelled me hateful toward LGBTQ+ kids, far right & against Human Rights in your public exchanges. This is defamation. Both of you, please publicly retract these statements & apologise, immediately.

And she wasn’t even elected.

Just FYI, Alison, Karen Power isn't an elected council member. She was co-opted onto the council.

I don’t know what that means exactly, except that nobody voted for her.

Given recent court rulings, it’s troubling and bewildering to see people in positions of power throwing slurs at you. Always in your corner, Allison xxx
