That's the week the Scottish schools go back. Perfect for hindering the mummies from lending their moral support.

My mother would have kept me out of school and said that going to the demonstration was better than school.

Was thinking exactly the same thing! One would think it is deliberate.

I'll be there in August then. I'll join you next Tuesday if I can find where your broomsticks have landed.

I'd hang out with the Scottish witches any day. I'm with Marion and all her supporters all the way! Poor woman, how stressful this must be for her.

Of course the process is the punishment; it's what toddlers always do. Harass and throw a tantrum until they get their way. Every mother ever... .

My mum would stand me in a corner for 1 minute per my age with my hands on my head if I did that. Can we do that to narcissistic idiots?

I booked Tuesday as a day off to show my support for Marion, I am so shocked and appalled that she is being dragged through this. Women are being silenced in Scotland and it is so important to stand against the hate crime laws. Will be there in August too.

And all teachers and staff are back to work on 16th August. Deliberate ploy to try to reduce numbers showing public support for Marion.

I was all set to book my ticket to Glasgow until I heard about the delay earlier. Poor Marion.

Perhaps I should still go, if the Scottish Witches are still planning to hang out...

Yes, all the witches will be there. Come along

I will! I'll see some of you there!

Yep I'll still go too, no guarantee I can get the leave in August, so still be nice to show support and meet people in real life rather than just on twitter :-) 💜🤍💚

I think I'll still go too, if the witches don't mind a bloke infiltrating.

Isn't this what always happens when the state knows they have no case? The FBI went after my brother-in-law (antiwar activity) and the court kept delaying his hearing; eventually it was dropped because the cops never showed up to court.

The process is the punishment? Did that line come from the idea that the media is the message? Just asking?

is there any way we can organize support for mothers so they can still protest around managing kids' school schedules? It seems too sinister to be a coincidence.
