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.

It’s not just women that are angry.

Women are angry.

I'd say that's an understatement.

Undersnatch · 05/06/2021 18:25

Angry and scared.

titchy · 05/06/2021 18:27

Interesting to compare her fundraiser to Dr Christian's - which has been going for a week longer and is still less than Marion's!

Nearly 13k in 3 hours. The number of keen gardeners is quite moving.

I’m looking forward to Wimbledon when purple and green are going to be everywhere Smile

The bastards have taken Marion's garden down!!! Angry Angry Angry

@Undersnatch

Angry and scared.
Yep.
ArabellaScott · 05/06/2021 18:46

What, Bore?!

AssassinatedBeauty · 05/06/2021 18:46

What reason is there for these things being taken down??

GoFundMe taken down.

ArabellaScott · 05/06/2021 18:47

Absolutely fucking outrageous.

I wonder if anyone is in touch with Allison Bailey? She had to set up fundraising outside the usual route.
manatsu · 05/06/2021 18:47

Non-specified ToS violation Hmm

vivariumvivariumsvivaria · 05/06/2021 18:47

ARE YOU KIDDING?

We can't speak, we can't protest, we can't gather and we can't fundraise?

McGilead right enough.

manatsu · 05/06/2021 18:48

They do know that every time they pull something like this, we get angrier and more people get fed up with it all, right?

toffeebutterpopcorn · 05/06/2021 18:48

Why have they done this - and not for that ‘doctor’ who was raiding money for his defamation fine?

I can only assume someone with ‘friends in low places’ has gone crying to them.

ItsAllGoingToBeFine · 05/06/2021 18:49

FFS! Hopefully the press pick up on this.

Absolutely outrageous. Particularly in light of Jessen's efforts. FFS

Artichokeleaves · 05/06/2021 18:51

Right. I shall be doubling the spuds when Marion finds an alternative. Out of sheer disgust that there are those who would report and try to prevent a woman having access to fair representation and to make her suffer as much as possible.

There's just no excuses left. None. This is just bloody awful, nasty behaviour now.

BoreOfWhabylon · 05/06/2021 18:52

Yes, can anyone point Marian in Allison Bailey's direction?

IsabelleSE19 · 05/06/2021 18:52

Does she still get the donated money or is it returned to donors?

AssassinatedBeauty · 05/06/2021 18:53

It's point 9 of their prohibited conduct in the terms of service, I'm sure -

"for the legal defence of alleged crimes associated with hate, violence, harassment, bullying, discrimination, terrorism, or intolerance of any kind relating to race, ethnicity, national origin, religious affiliation, sexual orientation, sex, gender, gender identity, gender expression, serious disabilities or diseases, financial crimes or crimes of deception;"
