I would like to think that there will be a point, quite soon in fact, when there may be exhibitions in small, perfectly formed, or even National galleries and musuems that will be carefully curated and showing this madness red in tooth and nail. School trips to learn about it.
That's if we still have any museums and galleries left. Or curators and museum staff...*cough*...or libraries as many had a few key exhibits carefully thought about.
An online shop or hosted by someone else would be nice. Maybe Jess would like to help...
This is so poignant. A stark reminder that we are in a historically crucial period for women, and yet so many people still seem unaware of the fact. Thanks Moley and best wishes to Marion.
That is a possibility. I need to check the dates though before I do that. I do get nervous about this - being new to the shop thingy!
I have a lovely TERF Island graphic based on the Jurassic Park logo... But I am pretty certain that they will reject it as a parody of a well-know logo. So I am just in the process of re-doing it!
Wonderful work mole - on man levels. Printing this tomorrow and it'll go up in the office. Thank you for all the excellent, thought provoking - and fun work you do.
The image is from 1913 and so in the 'Public Domain' - Looks like I CAN offer a t-shirt.
If I do, then part of the proceeds will go to Marion Millar - if she is still accepting donations (I hear, she is not) - And if not, a UK-based, women's charity.
I have had to remove the bottom line - Please support Marion Millar - as I am sure that they will not print this as a modern political message. It still has 'MARION' o the woman's sash though... The more I read about what they WILL print, the less I like it!
i bought you a beer, enjoy. I have also subscribed now to the update thingy, entirely down to having had to wait for payday to turn up and not due to any prompting. Also have ten year old daughter and worry about world she's growing up in
cheers mate, love your work. And I have just realised I can now post something, Graham thank you for your post about your Count Arthur show, I hadn't known about it so I duly went and watched it. I haven't laughed that much in years, thoroughly enjoyed it and have been spreading the word ever since. I shall stop fanboying now!
I haven't seen that poster in its original - I was going to give you a telling off for creating horrifying imagery, Moley! Seriously, well done - this is the sort of thing needed to get the point across that Marion in particular, and anyone subjected to police attack on civil speech in general, is being treated abominably.
Wonderful work, as always, Mole! 😊👏
Thank you, JL - you are, as always most kind and very gracious!
Ah thank you, Mole. You know I'm a big fan of your work.
And I, yours!
*Blushes*
*blushes even more than JL*
Oh I doubt that, Mole... I'm menopausal! 😁
More info on the 1913 Cat and Mouse Act...

That is utterly beautiful Mole. Shame our lickspittle government is behaving utterly horribly.
Thank you so much, I appreciate that. And yes, of course, you are completely right.
I felt it about time we had a reminder of Marion's case, as it is due soon I think. Unless the government plays cat and mouse once more....
If you didn't know, It is an adaptation of an old Scottish Suffragette poster - which I am about to share on my Twitter page.
Have seen the old Cat & Mouse Act poster. Like so much of the suffrage art it's exquisite, as indeed is your adaptation.
Yes, I have just posted the original on my Twitter feed. Mine is the same but with (painstakingly!) adapted text.
And thanks again, I appreciate that!
It’s fantastic Mole, and a great reminder x
Cheers! I admit, it took a long time to do! So hopefully it will be seen!
Maybe you could do some posters?
That is a good idea actually!

Great idea!
It will be shared! 😁
Aw I'll get a copy of that printed out to stick in the front window of my house "Terf Towers"
Go for it! It is nice and high resolution, even on here if you click twice.. so it should reproduce very well!
This is so poignant. A stark reminder that we are in a historically crucial period for women, and yet so many people still seem unaware of the fact. Thanks Moley and best wishes to Marion.
Agreed. Stark is a perfect word for the situation in which we find ourselves - women, particularly of course.
You are welcome - And It has been, and is, my honour and my pleasure.
Don't forget that you can buy mole a coffee, if you like: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/Moley
Until our sinister far-right funding kicks in, so much of this movement is funded among ourselves.
Ah, cheers for that, much appreciated!
If the poster is out of copyright you could sell it as a mug/tshirt in your emporium..
https://the-mole-emporium.myspreadshop.co.uk/
It is indeed in the Public Domain. So I will try to do this.
Done! Well see if the SpreadSHop company 'ALLOWS' it to be sold. I remain skeptical!
I will donate a decent percentage to MM's fund if still open. or a UK Women's charity... (as yet unchosen)
In fact, I am doing that will ALL sales on the shop!
That is a possibility. I need to check the dates though before I do that. I do get nervous about this - being new to the shop thingy!

And thanks for posting the link!!

That's very kind of you, thanks very much!
And sure, go for it! The poster is nice and high resolution - if you click on it it expands into a larger tabbed image. (I am sure you knew that!)
Oh marvellous Mole!
I would like this on a T-shirt please!
I think it may be possible. I am looking into it! Depends on copyright and all that malarky!
The image is from 1913 and so in the 'Public Domain' - Looks like I CAN offer a t-shirt.
If I do, then part of the proceeds will go to Marion Millar - if she is still accepting donations (I hear, she is not) - And if not, a UK-based, women's charity.
I'd buy one, I reckon, especially now that the world is opening up and I'm supposed to wear clothes again.
I am just adding it now.
I have had to remove the bottom line - Please support Marion Millar - as I am sure that they will not print this as a modern political message. It still has 'MARION' o the woman's sash though... The more I read about what they WILL print, the less I like it!
I mean, specifically towards MM, that is, not generally.
Very nice work, moley.
I noticed the other day that Marion's Twitter account is gone. Anyone know the story?
Thanks very much.
I noticed that too today. I am trying to find out but I suspect it is a precaution of sorts prior to the case date.
The crowdfund page is down too...
See above! MM has taken it down herself. It's fine.
Well done ,Mole. Hit the mail on the head ,there .
Hi! Thanks, I appreciate that!
i bought you a beer, enjoy. I have also subscribed now to the update thingy, entirely down to having had to wait for payday to turn up and not due to any prompting. Also have ten year old daughter and worry about world she's growing up in
Well, thanks very much indeed, I appreciate that support... As will Graham, I am sure, for the subscription -
And best wishes to you and your daughter.
cheers mate, love your work. And I have just realised I can now post something, Graham thank you for your post about your Count Arthur show, I hadn't known about it so I duly went and watched it. I haven't laughed that much in years, thoroughly enjoyed it and have been spreading the word ever since. I shall stop fanboying now!
He may not read this - Why not drop him an email? I am confident he would appreciate the note, especially about the CAS programme!
I have a question:
Before he became a serial harasser of women and a caller of cops on same did anyone really know who David Paisley was?
Well, speaking personally, I had no idea. And I was blocked on Twitter before I'd ever heard of him.
Even after I spent ages doing a spoof IMDB page on him - which had his real TV roles listed - I still had no idea who he was.
Even now, after following his unpleasant and divisive tactics for several months, I still have no idea who he is.
That's about what I suspected: Angus MacNobody so he has to gin up some controversy to stay relevant.
Sad, really.
I haven't seen that poster in its original - I was going to give you a telling off for creating horrifying imagery, Moley! Seriously, well done - this is the sort of thing needed to get the point across that Marion in particular, and anyone subjected to police attack on civil speech in general, is being treated abominably.
The poster is pretty much the same - I redid the text only. It is viewable on my Twitter ages should you be interested.
And you should be able to see it here -

Oh, and I forgot to say - Thanks very much!
Superb. You have reminded me to donate to Marion’s fundraiser but now I can’t find the link. Can someone repost it.
Thanks!
The fundraiser is down at the moment. Thankfully, it is Marion's decision though, rather than any pressures from nefarious sources.
Moley, you magnificent bastard!
Ha! Cheers! 😁
I recognise that comment... Don't I?
