A lovely touch from the council - the advertising boards across the city today hold the message “Thank you Pat” with Zippy Santa @patkarney

[Figen Murray OBE @FigenMurray]

And both you and I don't wish for any other parent to be in our situation. It really sucks! Sending you much love.

[shitscaredmum @shitscaredmum]

@FigenMurray Thank you Figen, you know exactly how it feels, there will always be a before and an after.
We know how precious and fragile life can be and in Martyn’s name you’re saving other families from the same devastation, I’m sure he’d be so very proud of you ❤️

[Daniel Priestley @DanielPriestley]

Just had a really sophisticated scam call from “Gloucestershire Police”.

Correct number. British female voice. Text message to confirm. Really polished script.

“We’ve arrested someone who was using your identity to commit financial fraud. Your passport and drivers license was used….”

Invites me to come to the police station nearest to me to view the evidence.

… then… Wants to confirm the crypto accounts that are genuine … didn’t feel right… she puts me through to her Sargent… British accent… he starts asking for info about my “genuine accounts” … I start asking questions and *click*

Did some searching and it seems to be a scam that’s doing the rounds. AI voice alteration, cloned phone numbers etc. really sophisticated.

Be careful out there.

RIP Sir. Martyn once interviewed you about the Christmas Markets and enjoyed speaking with you about it. He would have been upset about your passing. So glad they are taking you past the markets.

[Hits Radio News | Manchester @hitsmcrnews]

The funeral cortège of long-serving Manchester City Councillor Pat Karney passes by his beloved Christmas Markets, as the city bids farewell to ‘Mr Manchester’ ahead of his funeral.

Extremists' Targeting and Recruitment of Minors in Online Gaming Spaces - https://t.co/jpZGh3bnv6 Another interesting article about online recruitment of young people.

Understanding radicalisation requires looking at the full picture - https://t.co/ZJsooWlNzX This is an interesting article about radicalisation of young people in Australia but is also relevant in the UK and elsewhere. It is a global problem.

[Figen Murray OBE @FigenMurray]

I would say you are pretty good with words. Thank you for your kindness 🌷

[rachel @Rachellawless76]

@FigenMurray Shit with words sorry xxx

[Figen Murray OBE @FigenMurray]

He made a rather brilliant witch in wizard costume. That cheesy grin!! As parents it is totally understandable that we ask if we should have noticed something or could have done something. It is only natural. It is all so hard. Sending you much love. 🌷💕

[Dr Emily Cooper @criminographer]

Alexander picked his Halloween costume-he wanted to be a "witch" (it was technically a wizard costume!). He had such fun carving a pumpkin at the party. This time of year, I replay every second of the lead up. What did I miss? Could I have somehow stopped you dying? 💔 #childloss

For those mocking the PM for going on Gogglebox:

It's for Stand Up to Cancer.

For those mocking his tattoo:

It's the Manchester Bee, done after the Manchester Arena Attack, where 22 died and 100's more were injured.

[Figen Murray OBE @FigenMurray]

I cannot even imagine what you all went through as a family and how your lives have changed forever that day. Losing a child under such tragic circumstances is so tough and completely changes the trajectory of life as it was. Sending you much love. 💕

[shitscaredmum @shitscaredmum]

Eight years ago.
Waiting in A&E
Just moments later, our lives changed forever.
In my worst nightmares I could never have imagined what was in store for us.
It really can happen to anyone

[Figen Murray OBE @FigenMurray]

I believe in reaching out to people and sitting down to talk.

[Bibi blackwood @Bibiblackwood7]

@FigenMurray @Katie_Lam_MP I wish you luck. Personally it would be more productive to bang your head against a brick wall.😑☘

[Figen Murray OBE @FigenMurray]

To be honest I think it is simply because she has not understood how this legislation works and is making ill informed assumptions. That is why I would like to meet her.

[🍻 @LDeathridge]

@FigenMurray @Katie_Lam_MP I seriously can't believe ive just read this @FigenMurray! DISLIKE?!?! It'll be interesting to know why if she won't agree to meet you! Keep us posted. Beggars belief!

[Figen Murray OBE @FigenMurray]

All parents of teenagers should was this article.

[Figen Murray OBE @FigenMurray]

Ha, it should never be for anything other than security risks.

[Mike Parcej @MikeParcej]

@dave2482 @FigenMurray I'll continue to cherish my time over here! I have nothing against security checks for terrorism reasons and fully support them. My issue is when those checks are for fruit and sandwiches!

[Figen Murray OBE @FigenMurray]

Have not got the heart and time to explore other platforms and decided I will stay on but will only do very occasional tweets.

[Thomas @MeThomasDuffy]

@FigenMurray Figen, no bluesky or threads?

[Figen Murray OBE @FigenMurray]

I will occasionally respond on here and post a little bit but LinkedIn is my main platform now. See you there?

[Doc Neenz, innit @Matsukaze1310]

@FigenMurray Hey, Figen. I don't really use Twitter much anymore but just bobbed on and seen this. Hope you are ok, lovely. I'll see you over on LinkdIn

[Security Industry Authority @SIAuk]

Our Executive Director for Martyn's Law, Laura Gibb, featured on the panel: 'Martyn's Law: Dispelling the Myths', chaired by @FigenMurray.

The panel addressed misinformation surrounding the Act, and Laura reiterated our role as a supportive, proportionate and robust regulator.

[Figen Murray OBE @FigenMurray]

Please go in the ProtectUK website and look at what Martyn's Law actually is and how it works. Lots of misinformation by Katie Lam.

@AndyCambridge4 @nottspolice @NottsPolitics @FigenMurray @PoliceChiefs @PoliceCommenter 2/2
Is this decision
Reasonable ?
Affordable? and
Proportional?

For instance could the community create a pool of suitably trained volunteers?
(And how many of us have faith in many contract security providers?)

[Figen Murray OBE @FigenMurray]

I would suggest you go on the ProtectUK website and check out the two minute animations to explain a lot around the legislation. You have misunderstood as you probably only read what Katie Lam wrote. She also does not understand it.

[Andy Cambridge @AndyCambridge4]

@adrianadastra @nottspolice @NottsPolitics @FigenMurray @PoliceChiefs @PoliceCommenter Would a volunteer want all that extra ‘responsibility’

[Figen Murray OBE @FigenMurray]

@adrianadastra @AndyCambridge4 @nottspolice @NottsPolitics @PoliceChiefs @PoliceCommenter Christmas markets do not come under Martyn's law.
