I might have some stickers at home. Feel free to report me to the police through Mumsnet.

@BeyondShrinks

I do have a printer. And glue.

Fuck.

Paper? Any women in possession of paper should probably be prepared to have their collars fingered.

@ArabellaScott she's on social media. Agree, she's inspiring, she lives under a properly dangerous regime and has felt the force of that. Despite which, there is footage of her stripping off in court and using her breasts to communicate what she thought of the system.

I feel a little under furnished, and it's quite cold where I live, but, I'd give waving my nips around a go.

Are sharpies problematic?

I mean, I could be using them to label the kids' clothes, like a decent slack mum would, or I "could" be using them to draw on labels to make emergency stickers.

(top tip, if you plan on committing a crime don't post about it on the internet, unless you are using encryption it is very easy to track down who you are)

That came across a lot more creepy and threatening than I think you meant it to....

@BeyondShrinks

I for one would love to see the legalese used on mnhq, ordering them to produce our identities for threat of stickering.

Purely for entertainment value.

It wouldn't be very interesting, and mumsnet would have no choice but to comply - if they deleted the messages they could even be charged with perverting the cause of justice.

But tbh it's more about what happens if you get caught. Why do you think they took her phone? Because if they can find her posting something like that then a conviction is in the bag,

Just leaving this here

Utter tripe!

Or was I supposed to scream in fear and run for the hills?

You do talk some silly bollocks. It's J J just hilarious!

Anti-MVAW stickers = serious crime. Unlike actual male violence against women.

@PurgatoryOfPotholes

Barley Do you not realise you're dodging the issue of whether raising awareness of the number of women murdered each week should be a crime?

Of course I don't think it should be a crime, and I think the police should/could have shown lenience here especially given recent events (presuming we know the full story of course).

But criminal damage is a crime, plenty of other people have been prosecuted for stickering and flyposting, I fail to see why gender critical people should be exempt from laws that apply to everyone else.

It wouldn't be very interesting, and mumsnet would have no choice but to comply - if they deleted the messages they could even be charged with perverting the cause of justice.

Are you posting that interpretation from a position of legal qualification/standing or deep knowledge? That might be helpful for anybody who is assessing how much weight to assign to your summary.

A conviction. For stickering. Is that instant gulag, or is there a chance one would get just a few years in prison for good behaviour?

Ah so TRAs should also be prosecuted then?

@barleybadminton I'd love the police to be forced to go through my phone.

Bet some nice digital forensic officer would know how to delete all the screenshots that I took when I was trying to turn the bloody thing off, all the wonky photos I took while trying to open an app, all the "to do" lists that I never did and give me a wee lesson on how to make the typeface bigger so I can read what I'm looking at.

Sounds ideal.

@Rangoon

I am not with the people who generally post on this board but I am aghast at this. Shouldn't the police be trying to reduce the number of women killed rather than the number of women stickering? Shouldn't the police have that cell occupied by somebody who has just beaten up their partner rather than a disabled woman who uses a mobility scooter? I think this just another attempt to deal with "uppity" women who don't do what men want.

Right!!!!!

I fail to see why gender critical people should be exempt from laws that apply to everyone else.

And I am utterly bemused why the stickerers of those stickers alongside said woman's, the ones that directly reference TERFS and promise actual violence, remain at large.

It's a mystery. I wonder what is different about the two acts? Apart from:

• those who trawl social media, or maybe stalk real people, to see who is putting them up
• the political content of each sticker
• the political leanings of the stickerer
• the likely sex of the stickerer
• the sex of the people actually targetted and threatened
• the political lobbying and teaching the police have undergone

.. and on and on and on!

It wouldn't be very interesting, and mumsnet would have no choice but to comply - if they deleted the messages they could even be charged with perverting the cause of justice.

Oooh, now that reminds me of the time when we were told not to draw other women's attention to pictures of naked men in our toilets, lest we be arrested for revenge porn.

That was a cracker.

1. Who are you to decide what boring shit I find interesting. 🤷🏼‍♀️
2. Re "mumsnet would have no choice but to comply - if they deleted the messages they could even be charged with perverting the cause of justice" - it already happened before, and mn were not charged for deleting messages.

Gosh imagine if women were caught in possession of something really deadly like a label maker.

criminal damage

Strange... past posters used those terminology too.

This playbook really needs some new material as it is sounding very repetitive.

Well of stating that 3 women are killed each week by men is hate then inciting people to kill t**fs should be terrorism.

Although looking at Gwent Police history I can see why they think talking about MVAW is hate speech.

So when Jess Phillips next stands up in parliament and reads out the list of women who have been murdered will the old bill be waiting to collar her for a hate crime?

In fact, past posters using that same playbook used to post quite a bit about stickering.

Must be quite a detailed chapter on it.

Perhaps the PTB will make an exception to parliamentary privilege for egregious acts such as that.
