Reposted by Megan PhairGreen Party Northern Ireland @greenpartyni.org · 18/06/2026Children should never be driven into racist violence to clear debts or do the bidding of criminals. What we’re seeing is not “community protection”, it is child abuse, grooming and exploitation. Ten of those arrested in Belfast last week were children. The youngest was 12.  1/3 11512

Megan Phair @phairycakes.bsky.social · 19/06/2026Finding the #HTRNConf2026 really informative and so interesting. Especially the keynote speaker from today who put a challenge to all of us to think about what survivor led actually means and looks like. 000
Megan Phair @phairycakes.bsky.social · 18/06/2026I’m so thankful for Chris strong stance on this. I remember when @wiseabap.bsky.social and I went to testify in Westminster 3 years ago and I said to the MPs “I’m sure you already know this but young people are exploited into riotous behaviour to clear drug debt” they didn’t know. 1/3 240

Megan Phair @phairycakes.bsky.social · 10/06/2026Feeling a little triggered by people on their soapbox. I have witnessed the best of us in the worst of times. Using resources and contacts to get people to safety, contacting police on the ground to help rescue families. This should never happen however I’m thankful for the helpers when it does. 100
Megan Phair @phairycakes.bsky.social · 10/06/2026I’m not good on this platform. I will say this though some young people get involved in rioting and disorder for the craic etc but what are the conditions in place that enable that to happen. What about the coerced and groomed? Child criminal exploitation is what this is. 000
