There's been a sticker....

[fatblackcatspaw]

for IWD Scottish women have been stickering and beribboning across the land - see twitter. All the way to John O Groats #womenwontwheesht

They're not crying, they're laughing.

No one is crying. Everyone is laughing at the overreaction!

Well, as I said, if someone was personally targetted for their political views and their home or workplace was damaged then I imagine quite a lot of people would react by calling the police. Important to get it on record if nothing else in case it escalates.

There was no damage.

@Outwithreason

There was no damage.

Well there was, legally speaking.

Now you're just being the eejit.

How about you tie a white card message of some sort into your purple and green ribbons, PurpleHoodie?

@Outwithreason

Now you're just being the eejit.

No, just pointing out loads of people have been prosecuted for criminal damage for stickers, I nearly got arrested for it myself once.

Thanks Errol.

Loads of tributes (flowers/ribbons/signs) up around here for decades. Anti-knife crime/relatives died at the scene type things.

Not one, has been prosecuted for them.

Burning the nation's flags, slur graffiti on peoples homes etc - yes.

You've made that point, is there anything else you'd like to contribute rather than repeating yourself?

Good suggestion.

Thanks.

I hope you realise that was a joke by the way. It has been a light-hearted thread.

Anyway I am annoyed by the hyperbole of the MSPs'reaction, especially after reading on BBC News about the targeted harassment of a nearby MP. I hope Christina and Kirsty take a look at themselves.

Eh, are we having criminal damage mansplained to us?

We were, hopefully with that message and also cleaning tips delivered the thread can now move on.

Any more ideas what to do with haberdashery, wool etc?

Stickers are just the worst. The polis should definitely definitely be called to deal with it

How curious.

Anyway, there's a fair wind blowing so I'll put my washing out

If I lived in Scotland I'd be repositioning my tubs of purple and white crocuses (with green foliage, obv) somewhere more public. Primulas come in purple and white too, if anyone fancies some literal digging.

@ErrolTheDragon

I'm just imagining the suffragettes being given pious talks about their criminality.

During force-feeding would have been a good time to deliver a sanctimonious lecture; not much opportunity for backchat.

So we've sorted out that stickers are very bad.

What is the legal position of good samaritans who make cute coats for statues of dogs?

Oh Charlie.

Naughty.

Oh Pothole.

You made me look at the doggy picture again

He's so cute! ❤

I always used to get upset about animal statues being cold in winter when I was little, and it turns out that I'm still that soft.

Actually all real dogs should have similar woolly blankets.

"Spotted around Glasgow Uni this afternoon. Looks like #StickerWoman and #HatefulHaberdashery woman have been up to their dastardly work. Shhh! Don’t tell Christina and Kirsty!"

The gasp is back.
