"Could we finally be seeing consequences for these women-hating lunatics?" Oh I do hope so. I'm still not quite sure I am witnessing this utterly bizarre moment in human history

My trans ex-H had me arrested for "assault" after a scuffle which he initiated at a house which represented all of our joint savings. I had just persuaded him to show me a psychiatrist's report about him. I was about to leave when he realised just how damning the report was (premeditated marriage fraud - I had only glanced at it). So HE attacked ME, and caused minor grazing and real shock (he was not previously violent). The following morning he went to the police wearing a dress and basically forced them to press charges against me. I was a novice to DARVO and manipulation then. I crumbled and admitted assault. I learned later that my police record says that I am a victim. And I now have a completely clear DBS record, and was employed as a Covid vaccinator, so the NHS thinks that I am a responsible and trustworthy person. HE DID NOT WIN!

Paisley is a menace who needs arresting.

I am furious. I am sure many are.

Somebody is really reaching to find anything illegal on Ceri's Twitter feed. I hope that the actions by the police in this case, and the prosecution service in Marion's, means that the decision-makers realise that not only the complaints themselves, but the law as it stands, is unsustainable. The cases against Paisley, Spear et al should be very easy to win, if anyone wants to take them on.

I'd be delighted to donate to a crowdfunder if Ceri or anyone else takes action against these litigious bastards.

The Paisley illustration is perfect and fitting. He seems to be relentless in his harassment of women who have opinions on themselves and womanhood that he doesn't approve of. He's a bit obsessed, and surely, according to him and Jones, etc, GC feminists are the ones who are obsessed with this issue. There's a very good reason for that, we've lost too much and are being threatened with losing more. What motivates him? Love, inclusion, being passionate about trans rights? It looks more like good old fashioned misogyny that's been tweaked a bit.

I do hope cases will be brought against their complainants if only to see these issues hauled out into the light of day and into public scrutiny. I for one would chip in whatever I could to back such cases. These women deserve justice and for the wider public to know what they've been put through.

“Someone’s having thoughts I don’t like. Time to have them arrested.”

Yeah, not a tyrant at all.

"Could we finally be seeing consequences for these women-hating lunatics?"

The recent survey that said 80% of Scots oppose gender self ID might have something to do with it. Although it's hard to imagine that any politician couldn't have guessed that 80% of people in any country don't believe in unicorns or magic beans or that men can become women by thinking they are.

Genuinely interesting about Spear. Maybe she was pushed? I have less than no time for Sturgeon et al, but they do regard themselves as canny political operators. They may have ignored both of their consultations on self ID in Scotland, and obviously self ID is pretty much all the Scottish Greens care about, but I wonder if a reverse ferret might be starting to happen…

If they police say that these are "non crime hate incidents" - why the heck are they getting involved at all? What part of "non crime" don't they understand? Any behavior that is not criminal is, by definition, legal. Harassing people for legal behavior is police state tactics. So is withholding vital information like complaints and complainants from an accused, by the way. (Accused in what the police say is an incident not criminal even by their definition.) What world are we living in?

I truly cannot comprehend why Paisley has not been charged with/ arrested for filing false reports, making blatantly false accusations, wasting police time, etc., etc. It is OBVIOUS, even from across pond, that he is going out of his way to actively harass and have women falsely arrested, imprisoned, canceled, lives ruined, ruin good reputations. He needs to be stopped & he needs to pay for his crimes.

Utter gobshites…! Stay strong Ceri!

The charges against Ceri are ridiculous. What I don't understand though is why the police aren't telling whatsisface to stop wasting their time? They don't have to pursue this, so why are they?

Off topic... just listening to BBC Radio 3, it's a programme about people who are active at night time. They have the obligatory transwoman who claims that they prefer working (as a graffiti artist) at night because 'It is when I am safe'. I genuinely wonder -- are transwomen really so 'unsafe' when out and about, as so many claim? Are they delusional? (No examples were given apart from 'I am so noticeable'). And... so sad R3 has also signed up to this agenda ☹️

Can we make complaints against Paisley for stalking and targeted harassment? Thought not.
