Ireland cannot continue to hide behind the notion of an investigation of where Rusal’s alumina goes. The @IrishTimes and partners have done that and revealed 80% of Aughinish supply goes directly to Moscow.

As @CaolanReports says sanctions needed now.

Always wonder if the people driving yellow cars are aware that on every journey they will likely prompt a small child to yell "YELLOW CAR" as they pass by

[Anglican Futures @AnglicanFutures]

Why is is so hard to say sorry? And why is it so hard for survivors when there is silence?

The Church's sexual abuse victims are still waiting for the Redress Scheme to open. Some have waited f many decades.

But talk about snakes and ladders - once it does open, the Scheme's rules make it oddly hard for survivors to get adequate legal help.

Team at @passionpix have treated us with compassion, sensitivity and love. We wanted our story told, and told well, and they delivered. This morning, I get a message, checking I am OK. I never heard from the CofE re the documentary. Congratulations Passion, u were all brilliant.

This post has now been viewed five and a half thousand times. In three days.

That’s a lot of interested people.

Some of them will be the very ones who need to say sorry with me. Leaders/organisations who were in JF’s orbit.

There’ll never be a better time to speak than now.

[Julian Mann @JulianM39314109]

May I suggest that Fletcher's connection with Welby through the Iwerne camps and the Nobody's Friends dining club at Lambeth Palace raises various questions for the @churchofengland ? -
How many licensed clergy owe their positions to Fletcher's regular contact with successive Archbishops of Canterbury through Nobody's Friends and through his access to other bishops? How many clergy was Fletcher able to place in what he would have considered to be 'strategic' locations through his episcopal contacts? How many Iwerne branches are there in churches in affluent areas because of Fletcher's patronage?

[Dan Leafe @DanLeafe1]

"There was an avalanche of evidence against Jonathan Fletcher. As with John Smyth, victims’ complaints were suppressed by a self-congratulating subculture that has never repented, and so has never changed." Totally true & totally unacceptable in both cases https://t.co/YwauR8Ugei

[Graham @Graham1munro]

In 2021, on Zoom (recorded) Welby was asked when he last saw Jonathan Fletcher. He replied “he dropped in a while ago”. Months after JF lost PTO, and implied an access to JW that was extraordinary @DanLeafe1 @KateAndreyev @cathynewman @GavinDrake @GabriellaSwerl @AleemMaqbool

[Dan Leafe @DanLeafe1]

Surely this is right- unsurprising from a man who knows that of which he speaks.

[David R @davewave020]

@seaofcomplicity @HseofSurvivors A staggering lack of humility and awareness from J. Welby.
The arrogance of that man is jaw dropping.

[Kate Trotman @trot_twit]

"It would appear that despite spending nearly a quarter of a million pounds the leadership of Emmanuel Church Wimbledon have learned absolutely nothing about how to care for the victims of Jonathan Fletcher".
Here are 10 things they should be doing instead...

[Lee Furney @leefurney]

@AnglicanFutures If they can't bring themselves to say "our" former vicar was an abuser and they won't offer "our" support to survivors, then what lessons have been learnt? My question is not, primarily, a safeguarding matter but a theological one.

[Dan Leafe @DanLeafe1]

@AnglicanFutures Simply not good enough. Where is the apology, lament, acknowledgement of widespread & deep harm, explanation of what has been done by way accepting wrongdoing & repentance? It's hard to see the point in a 'lessons learned review' if it results in public statements like this.

This is a very difficult read about prolonged abuse. Read in conjunction with this earlier review https://t.co/r9PZQlihOT it is gradually becoming clearer just how extensive and wicked was the abusive conduct of Revd Jonathan Fletcher.

Justice “denied or delayed by church leaders” again. https://t.co/1DOtyqxPQk

@DanLeafe1 Having sat through the trial with Nicola, i can attest to the wickedness of what was revealed and to the courage of the complainant.
