My fur is all stood on end!

What an amazing woman. What bravery!

We're all here , behind you!

Hi all, I'm getting lots of questions about fundraising for legal action. Ceri will be doing a fundraising appeal but only when she knows more about how much she needs to raise. We aren't in the business of taking the mick when it comes to money and we only want to raise what we will need to cover the costs. Transparency will be guaranteed as well.

Luckily we seem to have found a really good solicitor who doesn't want to charge where he doesn't have to do that's another positive. I'll link everywhere I can once it is up and running. Thank you, Lauren

That is one powerful speech. Ready to dig if needed.

Fantastic speech! I am going to get DH to read it tomorrow as he is on side, but doesn’t yet get the scale of all of this. It will tip him over the edge!

There are thousands of women standing behind you, Ceri, admiring your bravery.

DialSquare · 22/10/2021 21:09

We're here for you both Lauren. And as others have already mentioned, many of us are on standby with shovels should they be needed. Love to you both.

I don't have the brain to work out how but is there a way to get a review of PSNI response through this route?

Ceri's courage is remarkable.

However, I've no idea what being arrested might mean for her work with children and young adults. Does it persist on someone's record even if there is no charge?

LaurenBlack · 22/10/2021 20:59

Hi everyone, thank you so so much for your support on here! Ceri is indeed amazing. She's strong and she's determined to fight the system on this one. I'm reading her all of your messages this evening ❤. Much love to you all, Lauren

Bloody hell please can we not get this thread deleted or affect Ceri's legal position by posting things naming anyone else!

NapoleonOzmolysis · 22/10/2021 20:52

That's a great speech.

It lays out the issue so clearly. She gets death and rape threats - no action taken. Someone claims to be upset about the subject she was talking about - interview under caution. Its not far off policeman indecently exposes himself - no action taken, policeman underpays for jaffa cakes - sacked. Women are less important than biscuits, of course they are less important than men!

Ceri

You are some woman

KittenKong · 22/10/2021 20:29

I read it earlier. Man, she has some fire in her belly. I hope her lawyer is an absolute terror. The complainant must learn that the police are not there to settle his imaginary scores and ‘keep women on their place’. The police just need to learn...

I've got goosebumps on my goosebumps! Wow

@Mycatismadeofstringcheese

That’s one hell of a speech. Sent shivers down my spine.

She’s amazing.

Ceri gave me goosebumps and my hair tried to stand on end when she spoke with Glinner.

I’m a hardbitten old radfem and doctor, but I think I’ve got a bit of grit in my eye this evening. Definitely watering…
Go, Ceri. That was inspirational.
