Police Scotland - Bullying, Threatening, Intimidating

 

I had a quick response from Police Scotland in response to my recent complaint about the heavy-handed, intimidating treatment of Marion Millar.

So let's see what the Professional Standards Department have to say.


Good Evening,

I write to acknowledge receipt of your correspondence at the office of Chief Constable Iain Livingstone.

I have passed the matter to our Professional Standards Department for their assessment and any relevant action.

Kind Regards,

Police Scotland - Bullying, Threatening, Intimidating (May 24, 2021)

I sent a letter of complaint yesterday to Scotland's chief constable, Iain Livingstone, over the treatment of Marion Millar from the 'WomenWontWheesht' campaign.

The behaviour of Police Scotland towards Marion Millar is the most outrageous thing I've seen in a long time.

But you've got to ask - why have we heard nothing from Scotland's politicians, as they're normally quick to speak out when it suits their purpose?

Dear Chief Constable 

Police Scotland - Complaint

I would like to register a complaint about the behaviour of Police Scotland towards a fellow citizen, Marion Millar of the 'WomenWontWheesht' campaign.

I understand from social media that one of your officers, PC Laura Daley, contacted Marion Millar on 28 April 2021 and told her that she had to attend an interview on Friday 30th April under the Malicious Communications Act - for allegedly sending homophobic and transphobic tweets.

No details of any alleged offences were provided to Ms Millar who was also told she had to attend East Kilbride police station so that she could be transported to Cathcart police station which had 'holding cells' - where she would be 'processed, questioned and most likely charged'.

Understandably, Ms Millar declined the demand to attend this interview, especially at such short notice and as the mother of two young children, but PC Daley went on to say that she would visit Ms Millar's home with 'social workers in attendance'. 

To my mind this is bullying, threatening and intimidating behaviour by Police Scotland which is completely unacceptable.

I would be grateful if you could bring my complaint to the attention of the Police Scotland Board, as I believe the handling of this matter is making a mockery of Scottish justice and the concept of policing with consent.
      

Yours sincerely



Mark Irvine

Kentucky Fried Seagull

Hugh Fearnley Whitingstall is one of my favourite - and endearingly bonkers - TV chefs. The River Cottage chef has a some imaginative ideas for adding seagulls to the national diet - including a recipe for Kentucky Fried Seagull - would you believe. Here's what HFW has to say on the subjecy -  I think I'll contact Hugh - and ask if he'll join the TAPAS campaign. "Vermin with wings? Chicken of the sea? Or just an opportunity missed?" "First and foremost, before we all go on a mad seagull killing frenzy. In the U.K it is against the law to kill seagulls or interfere with their nests under the countryside and wildlife act. Some Councils are allowed to cull them however, and usually do this by either poisoning or shooting them. How to catch your seagull. Remember this is against the law in the U.K. I don't want the Men in Blue knocking at the door because someone said that Foodimum told them it was okay to catch and eat seagulls. It isn...
