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.

Are has the Procurator Fiscal gone mad?

A ribbon? A fucking ribbon?

That can't be right. It's the wrong way up for a noose for a start. Cos, you know, physics. How can someone be arrested for that?!!

This is the tweet she is charged for? This? Bloody heck.

#HatefulHaberdashery

Please, please, please, please, please be true.

I want to believe.

So just to get this right: posting pictures of guns is OK? Posting actual death threats and rape threats to women is OK? But posting a picture of a suffragette ribbon is a hate crime?

I'm seething but, given that this is going to trial, should we be discussing it here? I don't want to make things any worse for Marion

Do a Google image search for noose. Compare with the tweet. See the difference? Nearly all images of nooses are with the loop at the bottom and the rope going up.
Do a Google search for suffragette ribbon, loop at the top, the ends pointing down.

to take a mother of autistic twins to court over this is insane. It is cruel and vindictive and the law is colluding in abusing a women for her very very reasonable beliefs. What the actual fuck.

I agree - be careful, active proceedings, Contempt of Court Act!

Yep, that be a punishable offence

I have seen women posted images of actual nooses - with their soft toy namesake dangling. But this?

Dear god. A photo of a suffragette ribbon. A bloody ribbon. When there are so many actual threats on twitter. They are complaining about a ribbon.
Why the actual fuck did the police not look at that particular complaint and realise that it is completely batshit?

The police do not have to run a charging decision by a Procuator Fiscal. They will get advice sometimes in complicated cases, but they don't need permission from the COPFS to charge someone.

For the sake of my faith in the legal, justice, and criminal systems in the UK, I would like this to be an erroneous report.

If it isn't erroneous…

So are we all going to start tweeting at police Scotland with the image of the ribbon?

"It is one at least six tweets reported to Police Scotland. The nature of the others is unclear."
From the Times

A ribbon, a fucking ribbon. Unless there is something else this is going to make the police look like absolute power hungry, Stonewall indoctrinated dicks.

Well if that’s the caliber if the tweets... I await to see the one of her shopping list and a photo of her day trip to Burntisland.

5 other tweets, but not sure what they are

If true, that is really worrying. I wonder what the other five tweets are? Poor Marion.

More gun tweets from that @transalorian back in March.
