On Wednesday April the 28th 2021 I received a call from a PC Laura Daley from police scotland requesting i attend an interview for homophobic and transphobic tweets under the milacious communications act.

I was asked to attend that coming Friday, she told me I had to attend East Kilbride police station so I could be then transported to Cathcart police station in a police car because I would have to go to a police station where there is holding cells, I would be then processed, questioned and then most likely charged.

I told her I would not be attending any interview on that day especially with it being a bank holiday weekend because my autistic twins needed me and I was scared I would be held all weekend.

To this she told me she would attend my house with social workers for my boys.

I contacted a solicitor straight away and he was unable to get PC Daley so for the first bank holiday in May I sent my disabled twins away for fear of this officer carrying out this threat.

This absolute nonsense has been hanging over my head for a month, I can barely sleep
or eat and I still don't know what the offending tweet is, my new interview has been scheduled for Thursday the 27th May, I will find out what I am supposed to have said at that point and if I will be indeed charged, again at another bank holiday, I just want to say, anyone who knows me, knows I am not homophobic or transphobic, I am a hard working mummy who would fight to the end for the safety and dignity of women and girls and for my vulnerable twinnies.

If we sit back and do nothing we will regret it for ever. For this reason I will never
Wheesht.

She should have burgled someone instead, or stolen a car.

Or perhaps downloaded some child abuse videos - I know the cops have openly said they don't have time to prosecute all those cases.

I have never meant this more sincerely in my life, even when I used to listen to Rage Against the Machine: fuck the police.

ScreamingMeMe · 22/05/2021 13:34

That's horrifying.

AdHominemNonSequitur · 22/05/2021 13:35

How dare they. Standing by ready to donate/protest/complain to East Kilbride/ Laura Daley. Fuck them. Fuck them and their stupid fucking ideology. The police are too stupid to not be lead by the nose. Stonewalled. They are the hompohobes. Power greedy performity weasels! Don't stop when you are cleared. Take this as far as you can.

This is awful, especially in relation to the threat to her children.

toffeebutterpopcorn · 22/05/2021 13:38

I hope she has a lawyer. A really scary one. This is utter, absolute nonsense. It sounds like someone is orchestrating this as a personal vendetta.

MissBarbary · 22/05/2021 13:40

That is an abuse of power but what do you expect given the tone set by the SNP?

Humza Yousaf was sounding off without a moment's hesitation about prosecuting Rangers' supporters over a video which is fake.

ItsAllGoingToBeFine · 22/05/2021 13:40

She has been previously doxxed on twitter, as it was mistakenly believed she was part of Forwomen.scot.

Is this the @HumzaYousaf hate crime law in action?

Thelnebriati · 22/05/2021 13:43

There is no legal definition of 'transphobia', and they have refused to tell her what her offending comments are.
You have the right to know what you are being charged with.

@FindTheTruth

Is this the *@HumzaYousaf* hate crime law in action?
No. The Act has been passed but I don't think it's in force yet beyond a couple of technical clauses.
Whatwouldscullydo · 22/05/2021 13:48

Is there a reason they haven't revealed the tweet?

ItsAllGoingToBeFine · 22/05/2021 13:49

Isn't that quite common where women get hauled in to check their thinking?

That thread- I don't know, nor care, what "SNP Good Guys" are/were but the deranged mentality that it's all a Unionist plot would be funny if it weren't so scary.

ScreamingMeMe · 22/05/2021 13:59

Oh that Cal Dempsey is a wee prick.

highame · 22/05/2021 14:07

Didn't take long for the TRA's to test things out. The SNP are pandering to TRA's but I think they may regret it.

I think there ought to be some sort of direct action such as a mass of GC views being posted so that the Police and courts would find it impossible

nauticant · 22/05/2021 14:17

A lot has changed since they could give women criminal records for, effectively, nothing without anyone noticing. There was Kate Scottow's successful appeal, there are many wanting to fight against what they see as oppressive use of power, and there's the disproportionate new Hate Speech laws in Scotland.

With the much greater amount of awareness now and many more willing to pitch in, I think this time round the Police will be shocked at the amount of resistance they get in attempting to squash one of the little people (little women).

NonnyMouse1337 · 22/05/2021 14:19

Absolutely disgusting the way women are being harassed and intimidated by bullies hiding behind Stonewalled police forces to do their bidding.

She's been harassed before and doxxed. It's unacceptable.

SoMuchForSummerLove · 22/05/2021 14:19

I'm not even kidding when I say she should claim she's a man. She'd get off scot fucking free.

Whatsnewpussyhat · 22/05/2021 14:19

Wonder who will be dealing with all the tweets to @policescotland today, calling out this nonsense.

That police officer should be ashamed of themselves. Impartial my arse.

I really, really hope so. I'm sure that I'm not the only person who, whenever this happens, gets a wee shiver down the spine. Women who speak out on twitter under their own names are incredibly brave.

As an aside, this is really not a good look for the police, threatening women with removal of their children, and timing appointments so they are likely to be detained over a holiday weekend. The police should be protecting women, not colliding in the attempted removal of their rights.

Non binary femme. No proof or name change on a gas bill required then.
Cailleach1 · 22/05/2021 14:23

States are now terrorising women so that men can play as they want. A dog probably has more rights. Disclaimer: I love dogs.

toffeebutterpopcorn · 22/05/2021 14:26

I think Cornish Pasties and Scottish whisky actually have more rights than a woman.

Cailleach1 · 22/05/2021 14:27

I bet you'd find that the police and other state agencies would know perfectly well that there are only two sexes if a woman tried to identify her way out of this doctrinaire stuff. Especially that an adult human female is the one to punish severely if it got in the way of men's role play.
