@ShirleyTable@LeeCanniff Of you're expressing those as an individual then crack on. But with your current user profile you are posting as a group that should not be expressing views of support or displeasure
@LeeCanniff@ShirleyTable@DeborahMeaden Its all about benefitting our community in the best way possible, one of our strengths is that we can work with any group as we have no affiliation
@LeeCanniff@ShirleyTable@DeborahMeaden I said friendly terms, not close relationship. In the same we we are not religious but work with all faith communities for the benefit of our communities.
@ifyoudontmind@DeborahMeaden It's certainly not a white club, and it's also not just straight. Within the confines of age and sex it's extremely diverse.
@DeborahMeaden For all of those criticising this photo may I kindly ask you to reflect upon the fact this is a group of civic volunteers and fundraisers (>Β£5m per yr) for good causes, not a political group.
As you reflect on this ask yourself what have you actually done for your community?
@LeeCanniff@ShirleyTable@DeborahMeaden Clubs do have a huge impact on communities so it's not unusual to be on friendly terms with the local MP whether we like their flavour or not
@Peckhampulse @NeiAleSki @DeborahMeaden@RoundTableBI Round Table is non sectarian and non party political. The membership is made up of all political persuasions. They don't endorse any party.
But they are all about community and that will at times include engaging with politicians whether they like the flavour or not.
@dickieholland @jamesearpmusic @DeborahMeaden 41 club is the alumni club for past members of Round Table. It has a sister club for ladies.
Round Table is a club for young men 18-45 to find friendship and provide a vehicle for civic service in the community.
If you haven't noticed the parallels between #AntiMisogyny & #AntiRacism or #NotAllMen & #NotAllWhites, let me be clear. Incivility, of any sort, towards any group, is intolerable. Decide what you stand for, and then stand for it. Hold yourself to account, or nothing will change.
