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.

@FindTheTruth

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!

Horrifying that twitter does nothing about tweets like this. Strong incel vibes with that one. However for anyone worried on close inspection I don't believe that's a real gun. It looks like the LARPing sort.
SoMuchForSummerLove · 03/06/2021 11:33

Just looking at the pictures on Twitter. If any of your are on this thread, you're fucking marvellous!

SoMuchForSummerLove · 03/06/2021 11:33

You...not your....

Women are letting Brunel Uni know about their student threatening to kill women on twitter

Sophoclesthefox · 03/06/2021 11:37

The gun isn’t real, but the threat certainly is. What other interpretation could there be? This person is compiling a list of women using a hashtag about women’s rights, and posting about it to make women think twice about we say. If a woman did similar, Twitter would melt.

toffeebutterpopcorn · 03/06/2021 11:40

Do we know what’s happening with Marion?

ArabellaScott · 03/06/2021 11:41

It does somewhat illustrate the point, doesn't it?

Andrea Cachia is openly threatening women. 'Making a list'. Posting pictures of guns.

But who is in the police station, being interviewed?

BlackeyedSusan · 03/06/2021 11:41

Cachia is at Brunel University and has links to Coventry. I wonder if W Mids Police/ Met Police would be interested?

toffeebutterpopcorn · 03/06/2021 11:42

Aye I bet their mum would be very interested too... (sorry I’m old school Glaswegian ‘hey I’m tellin your maw!’)

ArabellaScott · 03/06/2021 11:43

Also, note that although I found that tweet frightening on first glance - what on earth do I know about firearms, it looks real to me - my first instinct was to call the police.

But I can't, can I?

Chances are, they'd be round here to check my thinking.

This is where we are.

This is how the Hate Crime bill etc is going to work.

Some people are free to make threats with impunity.

Some people are not free to state their beliefs, under threat of being hauled in for questioning by the police.

For when the tweets are taken down:

Marion has been charged. Court date set.

twitter.com/ForwomenScot/status/1400407734500085760

ArabellaScott · 03/06/2021 12:08

court date at Glasgow Sheriff Court on 20th July 10th.

RedDogsBeg · 03/06/2021 12:10

Government, Police, Judiciary, everyone who wants to look good and caring on TV and in the press:

Violence against women and girls is appalling, it will not be tolerated, we will do something about it

Violent male misogynist posts pictures of guns with threats of violence aimed at women and.....tumbleweed.

I will be interested in what action Brunel University take especially in the light of the report on Essex University where they were slammed for not taking any action against the student who posted the 'Kill A Terf Gun Pointing' meme.

Are Brunel Stonewall Champions by any remote chance?

JustcameoutGC · 03/06/2021 12:12

What has she been charged with?

RedDogsBeg · 03/06/2021 12:15

Terrible news about Marion.

ArabellaScott · 03/06/2021 12:15

I don't know ...

Mollyollydolly · 03/06/2021 12:15

Cannot believe she's been charged .. this must be coming from higher up in the Police. We should start a new thread .. this one is going to run and run.

Sophoclesthefox · 03/06/2021 12:16

Bloody hell. Do we know yet what the actual offending tweets were?

Looks like her Twitter account has been wiped too. I despair, I really do.
