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.

What time is Marion's interview tomorrow? I'm in Coatbridge

BilboBercow · 02/06/2021 20:42

Just saw it's at 9.30. I'm at work but if I can get away at any point I will

I can’t make it out of work at the new time. Hoping this is all swiftly over for you Marion, with an apology for the terrifying tactics.

Thinking about Marion today.

Did someone already mention there’s a petition?

OvaHere · 03/06/2021 08:45

All the best to Marion today. Hope she has some good support, this has been appalling intimidation by the police.

Oh, it's not posted it. From Mr Malky on Twitter:

Marion Miller
Who art in Airdrie
Hallowed be thy name
Thy freedom come
Thy will be done
In Cathcart as well as Paisley
Give us this day our Daley bread
Forgive us our stickers as we forgive those who sticker against us
Lead us not into Coatbridge, but deliver us from Stonewall

Sending love to Marion. ❤️

ArabellaScott · 03/06/2021 09:23

Thanks, nauticant. I'm nervous on her behalf. Hope she gets some answers very soon.

@MargaritaPie

"And there's still no clarity on what the matter at the heart of all this is?"

Police Scotland want to speak to her regarding now-deleted alleged homophobic and transphobic content she has posted on Twitter. She is declining to share specifically what she has posted.

Homophobia and Transphobia are now hate crimes the police do have powers to tackle.

How can she delete tweets if she doesn’t know which one the police have a problem with.
nauticant · 03/06/2021 09:44

The solution would be for her to delete everything. Then, after that not to say anything in public in case it's found to be heresy. It's the only way for her to be safe. Would it be great if everyone did that?

Meanwhile an armed activist is threatening to kill supporters of Marion . . .

forwomen.scot @ ForwomenScot
On the morning @ millar_marion is being interviewed by Police, this individual is threatening to kill her supporters on #WomenWontWheesht

We see this person lives in the UK as per fundraiser & really has a gun. Will @ policescotland investigate? Urgently!
