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.

Joss Prior seems to be claiming responsibility.

Prior's next tweet then implies Marion is scamming.

Nice.

AssassinatedBeauty · 05/06/2021 20:58

That person is just dicking about trying to muddy the waters and be involved in the events rather than be a passive observer.

It's quite clear that the PayPal linked from Marion's actual Twitter account (linked on this thread earlier) is genuine. The fake Twitter account with the very visually similar name was trying to persuade people to use a PayPal with a very noticeably different email address.

Nodal · 05/06/2021 20:58

I can't see Priors tweets despite having never interacted with them in any way. Which does make me laugh as they've effectively gagged themselves Grin

TheWayOfTheWorld · 05/06/2021 21:02

Frankly I don't care if she raises more than she needs, she deserves it for having to deal with all this shit.

However, the simple way to address this if needed - surely - would be to ask an accountant or someone similar to take a look at the PayPal account and confirm the amount raised. So the bleaters can fuck off.

ArabellaScott · 05/06/2021 21:04

Apparently any unspent funds will be donated to ForWomen Scotland.

And yes, I agree, Way.

Nodal · 05/06/2021 21:05

me neither - but I think she suspended her PayPal once it got to just under 10k?

FannyCann · 05/06/2021 21:13

It looks as if this is not the first time this scammer has done this.
Imitating her twitter handle by using a capital i and lower case L in millar - practically impossible to spot. millar/miIlar

I seem to remember someone employing a similar trick to copy a Mumsnet user name for underhand reasons.

Prior now encouraging reporting Marion to PayPal

If anyone's isn't blocked perhaps they can report the tweets

What a wee clipe.

What a wee shite

AssassinatedBeauty · 05/06/2021 21:19

I can't see any part of the PayPal terms that could be being broken by Marion, so I think that Twitter shit-stirrers will be disappointed.

Still, look at all of those women applauding.

yourhairiswinterfire · 05/06/2021 21:23

Some people really, really hate it when they feel they're not in control anymore, don't they? Bless.

Congrats to Marion, I'm chuffed she met her target, and so quickly. Considering the 'GC movement' only consists of a handful of 'grumpy mummies' and their 300 sock accounts, that wasn't a bad job, eh? Wink

Even if they do report her to PayPal, we'll raise her the money somehow. We'll fucking do it.

ScreamingMeMe · 05/06/2021 21:26

I can't get over how spiteful they are. It's school playground level stuff.

We'll find a way. We always do, don't we?

Tick tock

Well ... some of the original donors are doubling, tripling and quadrupling their donations.

Gotta love an own goal.

Nodal · 05/06/2021 21:45

I know us middle aged dullard mummies can probably be excused buts it's half nine on a Saturday night with lockdown recently released and this is the sort of desperate shit Joss Prior is doing to fill theys time? How truly desperate, sad and pathetic.

Mollyollydolly · 05/06/2021 21:46

Reading Marions tweets tonight I'm in tears, my heart is breaking for her. I cant believe this is happening in my country. My anger is burning like red hot coals tonight. I cant post on twitter I will get banned. I read the ramblings of people like Cashman and I want to scream into the void.

MummBraTheEverLeaking · 05/06/2021 21:48

Threw the dummy out when a few "middle aged dullards" turned out to be a force that cannot be fucked with!

Also loving how some are moaning now they can't see how much she's raising Grin Of course now they're skewing it that's she's on the scrounge for personal gain, the fact that they forced her down the paypal route by getting the gofundme shut down conveniently forgotten.

Twisting everything to their narrative, DARVO-ing and crybullying all over the shop, it's an absolute state.

It also reeks of desperation. Tick, tick, tick...

Paralithic · 05/06/2021 21:52

Funny how someone who is so desperate to be a woman can’t actually use the word “woman” for those of us born female and has to resort to calling us “conservative dullards”.

Haven't RTfT but just saw what's happening on Twitter. Where can I donate?

I concentrated on the responses watching him have his arse handed to him was heartening. I think I only saw one comment in support of him.

PronounssheRa · 05/06/2021 21:55

I read cashmans ramblings and wonder how someone can be so out of touch, and I say that as someone who used to respect him. It's just mind boggling.

You can't at present - her Paypal has been suspended and is under investigation.
