    Lol so you want to filter everything for you!!

    Not a chance will I fall for that tactic

    No way am I spending hours dredging through all that hate filled bigoted bile just for you to find excuses for her.


    That's fine. I just assumed you'd know exactly where she said the things you've accused her of saying.
    I'm not making excuses. I'm saying how I understood it.

    Here's some examples of not so subtle homophobia.

    Of course you are making excuses. Its a common defense employed by her supporters here.

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    Thanks for links.
    Is her opinion that the Irish Times (which she dislikes) is pushing homosexuality actually homophobic? The various theories about population decline have been around a while. She's not the first to say it.

    I agree with her on the second one if these things are going to be taught in primary school.
    Secondary school is the time for this.

    Third one is the tweet I've been discussing. I don't believe she equated LGBT with paedophilia. The tweet was about Donal Og's character reference.

    I can understand gay people reading all kinds of evil into what she says given our history, I just think they're wrong in this case. Was she against gay marriage for instance do you know?

    I'm not actually a supporter. The cancelled meetings in Cork were what drew my attention.
    That vile English woman living in Cork has probably increased interest in G O'Doherty.

    ...and her not being the first to say it makes no difference as to whether its homophobic crap.

    Think there's a conspiracy that involves 'pushing homosexuality' is rather homophobic. 'Indoctrinating' primary school students about the existence of gay people, you think homosexuality should be not discussed until they are a teenager? There are different types of families, some have two daddies or two mammies. What is wrong with children with knowing? Unless you're homophobic? And sex education does occur in primary school, so skip the topic of sexual orientation? It's incredibly important to cover.

    Anyway, looks distinctly like you're gonna discount everything...

    I'm not homophobic ffs. My primary school going children did not get sex education. They got the bare essentials from me as they asked until the Summer before 1st year and then they got all the details. They had sex ed in secondary school.

    You're joking right! She is all over social media, picks a target, taunts, mocks, bullies, records phone calls and puts them online, and then plays the victim when the other side snaps.
    She says she is an autism advocate, yet never advocates for anything to help autistic people. She thinks she speaks for Cork but 91% of the people in the radio poll voted that those Cork meetings should have gone ahead.
    I saw the egging on all over twitter to get those meetings cancelled, the premises were threatened. There was a man on radio yesterday said his relative offered her a premises after the Spailpin cancelled, she got threatening phone calls within minutes. This is not on.

    If those premises were threatened, you'll be able to show us the tweets where the threats were made.

    You are factually incorrect there .. she had been campaigning consistently to ensure that gullible parents do not listen to snake oil sales people who advocate autistic children drink bleach to cure them.

    Ah here, leave your facts at the door. It's Gemma-town

    Gemma doesn't deserve the oxygen of publicity that this thread gives her, I think it's important to remember that reaction is what gives propaganda and conspiracies legs.

    As an someone who works in agronomy(plant and soil sciences), It very much annoys when people like her come out with accusations of chemtrails and talking about Lindane and barium and such because they do not even have a playground understanding of the science but make grand accusations off little more than pure ignorance.

    I can lay out all the facts in the world to how absurd their claims are but they know better even though they have no education or experience in the field.

    The worst part of it all is you get labelled as shill and a sheep of a corrupted education when you disagree with her or people like her even though I can walk out into a field in the morning to conduct a practical soil analysis to prove she is full of sh!te when they can't tell me wtf Barium is.

    The real truth is that they are the sheep, they follow and front with little education, they think they are experts of everything because they can post one research paper or read a wikipedia page. Isn't the very definition of a sheep some who follows because they don't have the knowledge to lead and form your opinions? Touting belief masquerading as understanding.

    Yes. I'll give her that. MMS is categorised as an unauthorised medicine since 2016. Except she's not linked to any autism groups to warn them about it. She's more into tactics of shaming online and reporting parents of doing anything she disagrees with, not just MMS.

    Now you are being ridiculous.. you made a totally false statement... got called out on it ... then admitted you were incorrect... but still try to say you are right ?

    Thats why I wouldnt bother providing the links. Seems like he wanted us to trawl through all Gemmas social media provide him with links so he could entertain himself discounting all of the evidence. Not a chance.

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    MMS is not just about autism or children in her case.
    Where is she on the lack of school places for autistic children, lack of services, lack of respite, lack of help? Crickets.

    It's not about FOL vs GOD, GOD is just her latest target. She'll move on after a while to someone else.
