I was five years old when my abuse started.

Not a “young woman”.
Not a “child prostitute”.
Not “promiscuous”.

I was a child.

Those in power turned a blind eye while myself and countless other little girls were being raped, groomed and killed.

Nobody should be above the law, not even those who make or enforce it.

That’s why we’ve launched the #TheyKnew campaign — to investigate and bring to justice the powerful people who failed to protect little girls like me.

Nicola Sturgeon’s husband, Peter Murrell, is the Chief Executive of the SNP.

The Party is being investigated for fraud after £600K of funding went ‘missing’ from their accounts.

The day after the SNP Exec met to discuss the missing cash, Murrell ‘loaned’ them £107K.

[THREAD]
The funding was ring-fenced for use in campaigning for a second referendum.

However, concerns were raised by SNP members about what the money had been used for.

Detectives launched an investigation into the missing cash in July 2021.
By the end of 2019, the SNP had just £96,000 in the bank.

Several whistleblowers raised concerns, but the party was slow to take action or investigate what happened to the funding.

There have since been complaints regarding the length of the time the internal inquiry has taken.

Ballerinas are athletes, just like sprinters or cyclists.

There is a reason you don’t see obese sprinters + cyclists winning Olympic medals

The same is true for why there aren’t obese professional ballerinas

It isn’t ‘fat-shaming’ — it’s the truth.
Stop lying to young dancers.
The level of strength and mobility required for ballet is such that it would be dangerous for obese people to go en pointe or perform difficult combinations.

Why? Because the extra weight they carry would put excessive strain on their joints and cause serious injury.
Ballet is one of the most demanding dance disciplines, requiring extreme flexibility, strength, mobility and stamina.

Even most healthy dancers experience joint problems.

20kgs+ of excess weight would destroy a ballerina’s knees and ankles.
