Police Scotland ignore the criminal and charge his victim with a crime. You’ll never guess which party is a man and which is a woman.

Parliamentary police officers have ordered a director of For Women Scotland to attend a police station to face vandalism charges over a broken brolly after a complaint by a trans activist.

Susan Smith, one third of the feminist group who took the Scottish Government to the Supreme Court on the definition of a woman and won, has been accused of minor damage to an umbrella at a rally outside the Scottish parliament last month.

But the incident, which could result in Mrs Smith, 54, appearing in a criminal court, has provoked fury and Police Scotland have been accused of ‘remaining under the spell of the SNP’s trans ideology’.

How does Police Scotland live with itself? Minor damage to a fucking umbrella? Which he was using as a shield and weapon in his noisy “protest” of women defending their rights? Why not instead charge him with brandishing a weapon in a woman’s face?

Tom Harlow, who counter-protests dozens of women’s events by blasting music to drown out feminists, has claimed Mrs Smith broke his rainbow-coloured golf brolly after she asked him to turn his music system’s sound down.

Yet both video and still pictures of their 20-second interaction at the Women Won’t Wait event, where high profile feminists including Tracey Edwards, Joanna Cherry, KC, and MSPs Pam Gosal and Ash Regan spoke out, do not appear to reveal any damage.

Well, it was spiritual damage. The umbrella was offended. Its feelings were hurt. It was terrorized by the cruel evil woman refusing to abandon women’s rights.

Harlow, a drag artist and stripper who performs as Cabaret Against The Hate Speech has received funding from the Scottish Government’s quango Creative Scotland. He regularly turns up at events to counter protest at women by blasting music.

He makes a habit of literally drowning out women’s voices, of literally preventing women from having a say, and the cops are charging a woman with damaging his fucking UMBRELLA. The one he was pushing in her face.

It is unclear whether Harlow, whose real name is Thomas Michael Moncrieff Carlin, had permission to counter-protest the Women Won’t Wait event but it is understood that dozens of women there made noise complaints.

During the 90 minute rally, Harlow sat on a folding chair next to his music system as two police officers stood close by. One woman at the event said: ‘Susan literally walked over smiling and asked him politely to turn the music down and he put up his umbrella in her face. She moved around to try and talk to him and he blocked her face again with the brolly.

…

The Mail understands that Mrs Smith will refuse the offer of a warning by police next week and has been told that will mean she will be charged with vandalism.

She could also face bail conditions that may include banning her from Holyrood, the scene of the alleged offence.

She will but he won’t. He’s the aggressor, she’s the target, and the cops are punishing her. It’s way beyond parody at this point.
