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.

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

What an absolute shit David Paisley is.

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?

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.

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.

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. 🤬

It’s a ribbon isn’t it? God almighty, this is utter bullshit. Totalitarian bullshit at that.

Absolutely insane. Once this stupidity is laughed out of court I'd be happy to crowdfund her legal response, Malicious Prosecution seems a good place to start.

It’s a tale as old as time. A man gets his fee-fees hurt and so women and children have to pay for it.

Paisley is PATHETIC.

Nothing will make me calm down short of that twat Paisley having to deal with this backfiring in a big way. The absolute state of this.

I just can’t.

This has made the Times with a neutral mention of Glinner which I think means a lot.

Keep fighting everyone.

These stickers of suffrage ribbons available on redbubble are apropros:

Also, according to the daft "reasoning" here, the red AIDS ribbons, pink breast cancer ribbons & all the other colored ribbons for various causes shaped into loops must be nooses too.

Also I'm beyond fucking sick of big, burly blokes (however they identify) pretending they are scared of a bunch of women.
