I've been watching this unfold on Twitter the last few days. Her name is Ceri Black. Start reading her timeline on October 20th and proceed from there. Quite a remarkable woman and leader.

Initial news on the 20th: https://twitter.com/FemmeLoves/status/1450823685858803715 (https://archive.ph/BY52M)

An interview she'd done that same day: https://twitter.com/FemmeLoves/status/1450846249515687946 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5m6VILKKkfI)

Speech transcript excerpt (linked above, go read it):

The complainant cannot be allowed to continue to weaponize police forces across the country, to silence voices he disagrees with, whilst he capers and gloats and feigns terror because he’s triggered by tweets.

He is a bully. I do not pander to bullies. I do not cower before bullies. I put them on notice, and I employ all legal means to have them stopped.

My solicitor informs me that there are various channels open to me, so the complainant can expect to hear from me in due course.

But it isn’t just the complainant I’m putting on notice. It is the police service of Northern Ireland, it’s Stonewall, and it’s the massive fraud they call the Diversity Champions Scheme.

The police have questions for me? Good. I have questions for them.

Questions like, “What influence does being a member of the Stonewall diversity champions scheme have on the way you police this issue?”

Questions like, “When I reported death and rape threats to you, you told me to withdraw from the debate and stop tweeting, so did you offer the same advice to the man who complained against me?”

Questions like “what underpinned your decision to interview me under caution for tweets about child protection, whilst you completely ignored direct threats on my life.”

I have a long list of other questions for the PSNI, and they can expect to hear them from me in the form of Freedom of information requests in the coming days.

My solicitor is helping me explore other possible actions, including a complaint to the ombudsman.

In the meantime, I have a message for the PSNI.

I’m politely declining your invitation to be interviewed voluntarily under caution at the station.

Come and arrest me if you want to ask me your questions. Here I am.

She is brave. I hope she wins her case.

I am willing to place a bet that this dies a whimpering death before getting far enough to be a case.

But if they are that stupid, then I hope she cements their infamy in perpetuity.

The man referenced here is none other than David Paisley, some dumpster tier actor, who also reported Marion Millar to the police for "transphobic" tweets.

Thank you, I hadn't dug in all the right places to find out the name.

David Paisley

This is the same guy who was afraid of that suffragette ribbon and said it was a noose!

Yep. He's also been practicing his acting skills by claiming to be a victim in all this shit he's stirred.

Oh yeah, Ceri Black, I know of her from LG News. She and her wife Lauren are heads of their local LGB Alliance.

How the British police reached this point, I just don't know. Is it that Common Purpose org? Does the UK just not have enough violent crime to keep the police busy? Because I think you do.

Any Americans reading, our freedom of speech must NEVER be surrendered. This is where it gets you -- actual Thought Police.

I wish Ceri Black could tell the Inquisitors "Yes, I was at a Black Mass, and the head witch was there, and he is David Paisley! It was David Paisley who told me to turn from Christ and worship the Devil with him. He's the witch!"
