Campaigner facing charges for 'trans' brolly spat https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-15236335/Facing-charges-trans-brolly-spat-Womens-campaigner-report-police-vandalism-complaint.html?ito=native_share_article-nativemenubutton

The last time I had contact with the police I was on 999 reporting something urgent. I remember feeling quite interrogated about precisely who I was, what I was doing in the vicinity and why I was calling, all before they got to actually taking any details of the live incident.

Every time this sort of bullshit claim happens, I am shocked at the brass neck of someone who seriously calls to log it and how they look themselves in the mirror afterwards, after being such a colossal waste of time. How on earth they don't turn inside out in pure embarrassment while making the report is a mystery.

Love it! Thank goodness for the resilience and wit of women, keeping morale up in the fight of all our lives.

Times Scotland has an article about brolly man:
https://www.thetimes.com/article/11c2b64e-68c5-4a56-b080-271d37142b82?shareToken=2ebe91a2d58049505000c11f0c017b23

are The police completely irredeemable?

Good to see an article clearly spelling out exactly what sort of horrors he perpetrates and how he has been enabled to do so.

I love the quote from Jenny Lindsay saying that, in the past, the reaction to his behaviour would have been "no, mate, you're a wanker".

Yes - I think the Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service still have to decide that the case is worth prosecuting, and I can't see how they can decide that it is anything other than ridiculous.

But how many people are accepting cautions for ridiculous 'crimes' because they don't want to risk the expense of a court case?

Another demonstration of bad behaviour on both sides, Susan was way out of line with her “please will you turn it down” 🙄

They did a good job outside Holyrood this time.

Mr Menno shows that she touched the brolly twice. It was clearly broken to start with and her touching it was nothing.

I believe the first time she just moved the spike to one side, and the second time gently touched the outside. Nowhere near the broken bit, didn't break it, it was broken anyway and he needs to get a new one because it looks ridiculous.

The MO of these people is to goad and intimidate women to the point where they react in self defence.

It's completely deliberate, and anyone with eyes can see it.

The media needs to pick it up, give it a snappy name, and get it out there.

Isn't it a crime to falsely report a crime?

Rage bating?

There's a group of men (this prick, Big Beth, Sparkles and the rest of the odious floor dilating, nipple clampers) who have been emboldened by the shoulder shrugging, non policing in Scotland to behave however they like with no fear of consequences.

This kind of shit needs to countered in the future by the Police growing a spine and saying 'no pal, take your brolly and fuck right off'.

Also, at least three of those people are friends with noted MSPs. So I have no doubt they are also emboldened by the fact certain MSPs are supporting their cause. I imagine one (or more) of those MSPs are pushing for Susan to be punished.

Perfect! I haven’t read any Arthur C Clarke for years. Thank you

He looks like such an insufferable arse. One of those perpetual student types - presumably funded generously by mummy and daddy to harass women. Is it me or have the young and impressionable kids that used to join his protests faded away? The article says that he often protests on his own. What a sad little man.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that, with the ignominious embarrassment this is causing the Police, no charge will be preferred. I bet that they will still record a hate crime.

Nope hes funded by the Scottish government through its arts council programme and even got a hardship grant from them.
So in reality what we have is a government funded misogynistic anti women bully trying to prevent women from protesting the government's illegal policies and being protected by parliamentary police who refuse to deal with his illegal tactics and then using the same police to bully intimidate threaten and attempt to criminalise a woman who beat the government in crt.
Yes things really are that dystopian in Scotland

I don't think they could record a hate crime? The hate crime has to be an extension to an existing crime so if there's no crime then there's no hate crime. Hate speech would be recorded but as far as I know she hasn't been accused of hate speech (AFAIK, though maybe she should do a Subject Access Request to make sure)

But the law is quite confusing, especially as it's different in Scotland and England, so I might have got that wrong.

In Scotland a hate crime is a stand alone offence, there doesn't need to be an underlying crime, hurtful words can get you jailed and its a perception based system aswell.
Oh and anyone can report you your words don't even have to be directed at the person reporting you.

Creative Scotland are a bunch of pricks, generally

He ought to be charged with wasting police time. In Scotland penalties for wasting police time can include a fine or imprisonment for up to three months.

The Netflix protest over Dave Chappelle. The guy who broke the sign was a Netflix writer I think.
