David Byles. Keeping would be attendees safe is not a win for the bigots. Turning a celebration into a confrontation is, however, a win for the bigots.

As other comments have stated, this is absolutely unacceptable. Threats of violence need immediate legal action and if found guilty must attract maximum sentencing.
Extremism from any quarter has no place in our society, ever.
I hope that this ball can proceed soon with safety and all the glam’ that I am sure was planed

This is ridiculous to ban the event. Safety should be guaranteed.
The country has banned nazi symbols, yet has done nothing about the groups that use them. Why are right wing hate groups allowed to exist in the first place. They are a danger to anyone or group of people they decide does not fit their twisted ideal aryan race.

We’ve got to stop cancelling or delaying events because of threats because they win when we do this

The framing of these responses with the terms ‘unacceptable behaviour’ but no mention of police intervention or investigation is unacceptable! These threats of violence are a crime against our community and allies. How can there continue to be this type of response every time literal nazis come out threatening to harm people?

We should stand up to these bullies. They will turn out to be cowards when the police arrive.
