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.

Ribbon terrorism!

toffeebutterpopcorn · 05/06/2021 10:39

Parents in Scotland had better not be sending their wee girls off to school with ribbons in their long tails. There’s be a bang on the door...

vivariumvivariumsvivaria · 05/06/2021 10:46

I also bought ribbon. Wonder how long it'll take John Lewis to notice they need to order a few more rolls of purple, white and green ribbon?

This revolution starts in stock-taking...

ArabellaScott · 05/06/2021 10:57

Do be careful, wummins. Even taking photos of ribbons seems to be problematic. Being in possession of green white and violet ribbons in public must be tantamount to - well, who knows.

Famous Artist Birdy Rose (you'll recall her previous problems that led to her cancellation) has had one of her images altered. It's been tweeted by Josh Prior (also familiar to FWR).

What an arsehole. Joss is also trying to get Magdalen Berns' Wikipedia page shut down (not that Wikipedia is worth a damn these days). Absolute crank.

Gosh, just as well it’s summer! Otherwise who knows what terror I’d cause by wearing my College scarf!

There is now a gofundme live, for anyone who would like to do some digging in this particular garden...

Wow!

Nodal · 05/06/2021 17:25

I'm a hardened old Cron but Ribbons Around The World is making me tear up. Mine are on order. Strong women are amazing aren't we? They go low, we go high with ribbons.

ScreamingMeMe · 05/06/2021 17:26

Yes Nodal it's made me quite emotional too.

RedDogsBeg · 05/06/2021 17:38

Loving the ribbons around the world blows the argument out of the water that it is only MN FWR who are against this (fill in your own word not sure what can be used these days).

I've just discovered suffragette colour face masks, perfect.

Just did some gardening, her initial target is 10,000 spuds and it’s already half way there after 2 hours

Go women!

ChristinaXYZ · 05/06/2021 17:42

Marion Millar Legal Fees is something to go searching for perhaps

Nodal · 05/06/2021 17:52

Just done some spuds, don't normally get involved in gardening, as a rule, but this one has got to me. I feel it might be a significant turning point too. I happened to be on holiday with friends when this all blew up, men that work in the construction industry and have only just heard of the pronoun thing recently (complete derision) and I showed them Marion's tweet. They are astounded and outraged and have also done some spuds. We've got a fight on our hands in Scotland & it needs your support.

I just came in to say that the garden is looking particularly in need of some work today...

BoreOfWhabylon · 05/06/2021 17:56

Google is not helping me find the garden...

For Women Scotland Twitter has the garden centre address.

BoreOfWhabylon · 05/06/2021 18:10

Thanks @ItsAllGoingToBeFine Smile

More than 80% of the spuds have already been dug!

334bu · 05/06/2021 18:16

Target reached in 2 hours and still going.

Nodal · 05/06/2021 18:16

target exceeded in first 2 hours?

CF that Brunel scrote's garden for ridiculous surgery that has been up for months or that ridiculous doctor and not even got enough for a few chips!
