Just in case you missed it, a tweet from DBanksy: "#MarionMillar has been charged, this means proceeding are ‘active’ and contempt laws apply to those publishing anything about her case, including tweets. Fair warning, the Scots courts are *much* more aggressive in enforcing contempt laws than those in England." So be careful what you tweet and thanks to everyone for bringing this to my attention.

Paisley seems like Scotland's answer to Yaniv, perhaps litigation-happy. No doubt he'll have alt accounts at the ready on twitter to report any infractions.

That interview he gave (pass the fucking sick bucket) that Glinner exposed is gold. Running scared of a frigging giant ribbon, lol

Except he wasn't. He was just being a duplicitous little shit. Either way, the quote at the end about some shit about fearing for his safety should - SHOULD - destroy his credibility entirely.

A bunch of abusive guys that have traumatized females "but I'm the real victim here" like the Incel elliott rogers.

he must run around in a tutu if he thinks he can be hung by a satin ribbon. It strains credulity. But with an islamofasict in control positioning a blasphemy law for future use against folks either Scots are gonna rise up like William Wallace or they will be lost.

Vile man. Not just an Islamofascist but an Anglophobe and misogynist too.

He should have surrounded his house with ribbons to keep the haters out, since they're so scary.

How careful do we have to be here? I know it's not private-private, but it's not Twitter either.

I think it's ok in here. unlikely to influence a jury unless someone in here ends up on it!

The Ribbon Phobic is now back on twitter. Says he was doxed and had to move house. He hasn't said who doxed him but his followers are sure it's those nasty terfs.

Expand full comment

Oh FFS

So is he afraid of ribbons or not?

He'll need to be careful now, he's on the police's radar, they'll be keeping an eye on him, so if he makes any false allegations (ie. doxxing), it could come back to bite him.

It really just sounds more like the penny has dropped and he's realised he looks a right tit, trying to save face and retain his victim status.

Expand full comment

This whole saga is just absolutely batshit. Hopefully the full truth will be revealed in due course.

If someone has doxed him, I of course do not condone that. However, let's not forget that he shared Marion's dox and she had to endure weeks of harrasment because of it.

Hi Graham, wondered if I could email you? I'm a recent psychology graduate and there are a couple of studies into psychological manipulation I'd like to highlight. Might help with understanding the dangers of "pushing the trans ideology" on people thing.

I also have a way of explaining why trans women and women can't fundamentally integrate. But it might be slightly too long for a comment.

Was this a June post? Should have left this comment on a more recent one. I'm bad with the technology lol

Vow, and here I thought the Scots were such a cool people. Turns out I've just mistaken the "cool" for "barking mad."

If that's a noose, Eddie Izzard is a lesbian...

I had the misfortune of seeing his most recent show at the Edinburgh Fringe. Half of it was mentions of his being 'transgender', and the other half was recycled jokes from the 90s. It was fairly awful.

What an absolute shit David Paisley is.

It is known. I really hope this backfires on him badly.

it's tragic...'ooh, ooh, a satin ribbon, it must be a death threat' then cut to him faking a case of the vapors and fainting on a velvet chaise in a silk robe...barf

He apparently deleted his twitter account. I don't know the reason.

Expand full comment

How lovely. If only they all disappeared.

Expand full comment

That is not a noose. A noose is a very specific knot that has only one piece of rope going from the noose so that it can only tighten and not loosen. The ribbon pictured is in a loop which is not a noose so surely there is no case to answer if the charge is that the ribbon is a noose?

Expand full comment

But maybe it identifies as a noose?

Expand full comment

Ah, of course. You got me there.

Expand full comment

Surely, to identify as a noose, a loop would have to undergo major surgery

Expand full comment

🤣🤣🤣

Expand full comment

This whole thread has made my day. I love this little corner of the internet. Thanks Graham.

Expand full comment

That's exactly right. You can tell immediately this is not a noose because there is no "noose knot." She should get you to testify on her behalf!

Expand full comment

I am slightly concerned by your knowledge of nooses.

Expand full comment

I had to tie one once for a miniature mock up of "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly" so I researched them.

Expand full comment

Intriguing!

Expand full comment

I have to conclude to that to the extremely privileged with nothing to do and nothing to complain about in life, construing satin ribbons into nooses is a desperate attempt at relevancy. Little girls with pigtails are not safe around the noose-hallucinator.

Expand full comment

And don’t wear any ribbons in support of AIDS or breast cancer awareness on your lapel for god’s sake. You’ll trigger someone into a noose-induced meltdown.

Expand full comment

i guess they would make a fuss about a pink ribbon now.

I keep re-reading this and I still can't get my head around the 'crime' this woman is supposed to have committed. Of all the shit that has been going down on social media for years, and this is what the Scottish police has decided to pursue in the name of hate crime. I hope this gets enough publicity to make people kick up a stink.

Expand full comment

When I started tweeting my support for the radfems and GC feminists last year, I got two STFU TERF messages with a picture of a gun. I reported them to twitter and blocked them. Still have the screenshots - now thinking I should have wasted police time by reporting them as at least one of them is still on twitter. Anyone who saw the abuse JKR got last year can't help wonder where the police were then, when she and others were threatened with having their throats cut and then being raped. WTAF is going on right now!

Nicoliar Stalin's vision of total control of the Scottish masses, control of the media, control of the sheep who hang on her every word without question, that's why, it is very simple...

Expand full comment

The frisson of excitement and rush of excitement these people get from seeing the authorities do their bidding - what would it be called, is there a word for it? - needs to be recognised as part of the pathology of these twisted people. Then perhaps it would be easier to explain to the police and politicians how they are being manipulated.

Same sort of frisson as putting a frock on

I'd like to say it's 'duper's delight' but not sure if that's it exactly. That usually applies to compulsive liars.

I mean, did he really think that was a credible threat? Of course he didn't. So he has 'duped' the police..?

He’s been lying in wait for a while now and saw this spurious opportunity to get her.

Paisley's frightened of haberdashery? And Scotland's police went along with that fuckwittery? My drawer full of ribbons seems to be opening itself entirely unaided...

And btw- I hope Paisley wears only slip-on or Velcro closure shoes. I'd hate to think he could look down at his own feet and be terrified by his own footwear.

What a load of bollocks! The amount of vile and violent stuff the TRA's post and nothing is done. Well #istandwithmarion , and i will happily stand outside the courts with suffragette ribbons on the day. 🤬

Expand full comment

Just today a TRA has posted photos of guns and has made several posts about hunting 'terfs'. It has been reported to the police, but I'd be very pleasantly surprised if they did anything.

Expand full comment

Yeah I saw that, lets hope they do something, this has gone on for so long. I was blissfully unaware till a couple of years ago, but see it in all its 'glory' now, so thankful to the people who have been fighting this for years, i feel i'm a bit late to the 'party' but i'm up for doing my bit. The tide i think is turning thanks to the hard work and bravery of the women and men like Graham in recent years. Hopefully as numbers grow we will see change. Though whats happened today is a joke!

Expand full comment

I predict that this is gonna get to a stage where a woman or women end up getting hurt. I hope I’m wrong but it’s going too far with nothing being done about it. The politicians and the police will have blood on their hands if they continue to sit back and allow women to be threatened and abused. Because if they continue to do so, one of these nutters is gonna make good on their threats.

From Brunel Uni's account it seems and the uni then tweeted in support. Now removed. Incredible.

thanks for covering this I had to unsubscribe to keep from going in the red last month but I couldn't keep away, Lol and was able to resubscribe thankfully. I'm infuriated, as an autistic woman, that they would do this to the mother of two disabled children. It's insane. I hope she brings a tort for damages against the afterward if they do that sort of thing in Scotland, here it would be 'intentional infliction of emotional distress' or some form of harassment like that
