Irish Comedy Writer Graham Linehan Arrested For Hate Crime Tweets About Transgenderism In UK Governments Latest Attack On Free Speech


Irish writer Graham Linehan, co-creator of  the iconic and iconoclastic TV comedy show "Father Ted",  revealed on Tuesday he had been arrested at London's Heathrow Airport on suspicion of inciting violence in connection with posts on X about transgender issues.
 
Recounting his arrest in a lengthy post on his Substack blog, Linehan, (57)wrote  Linehan wrote: “The moment I stepped off the plane at Heathrow, five armed police officers were waiting. Not one, not two – five. They escorted me to a private area and told me I was under arrest for three tweets.

While he was being questioned, a check by a nurse showed his blood pressure was dngerously high and he was escorted to a hospital, where he was placed under observation.
 
He said, "I looked at the single bail condition: I am not to go on Twitter," he said. "That's it. No threats, no speeches about the seriousness of my crimes — just a legal gag order designed to shut me up while I'm (in) the UK, and a demand I face a further interview in October."
 
Linehan has been a prominent critic of transgender activism on X, formerly known as Twitter, and other platforms but all he has done is cite scientific fact to challenge ideological dogma. He is due to go on trial later this week on separate charges of harassment and criminal damage involving a transgender activist.

This case marks the latest instance of police investigating online comments while crimes including shoplifting soar, despite Labour pledges to tackle such offences.

“In a country where paedophiles escape sentencing, where knife crime is out of control, where women are assaulted and harassed every time they gather to speak, the state had mobilised five armed officers to arrest a comedy writer for this tweet. I promise you, I am not making this up.”

He certainly isn't. In the Socialist government's most blatant attack on free speech to date, he is not the first celebrity to learn the hard way that criticising any of the protected minorities or sacred ideologies will never, in any circumstances, be tolerated.

What a mad country the UK has become. Rape someone and your chances of going unpunished are good in fact if you are dark skinned and you victim is white you have more chance of going to the moon than of going to prison. Walk into a store and waltz brazenly out with a couple of hundred quid’s worth of goods you haven't paid for and the police will send you on your way with a cheery wave. But call transexuals  nasty names or suggest that they might merit a whack in the chops for their deviant behaviour and it’s cuffs on and they'll lock you up and throw away the key. No wonder there is such an ugly mood in out towns and rural areas as the white, secular or Christian, British people's rage at the betrayals of successive governments threatens to explode.

What had Graham Linehan done to deserve such treatment, you might well ask, murder? arson? trying to sneak a couple of hundred cigarettes through customs? Actually he was arrested for a what has become a far worse crime than any of these in  SStarmer's National Socialist Britain. On 19 April, he posted an image of a transactivist protest in London along with the caption “a photo you can smell”. When challenged by a user for the “unnecessary comment”, he replied: “I hate them. Misogynists and homophobes. Fuck em.” A third 'transphobic' item was posted on 20 April, and in it Graham wrote: “If a trans-identified male is in a female-only space, he is committing a violent, abusive act. Make a scene, call the cops and if all else fails, punch him in the balls.” 

All of which would be perfectly reasonable in a sane country of course. So why is the law supporting insanity, why are our politicians, judges, police and the media pandering to weirdos who think that in order to change from biological male to female all they have to do is click the heels of their Dorothy shows three times and wish and they will be instantly transformed to a fuly equipped member of their preferred sex. Do you ever wonder what the hell is going on in this once great country?

We must consider that a hidden agenda may be at work here and that the government has taken sides against the people it serves. There is a possibility that the purpose of high profile arrests such as this is not primarily to try and enforce a particular ideology, polarise the general public and set factions against each other to prevent us unitig against a ruling eliite that has betrayed us, or even to suppress free speech. Rather, it’s to make people who sympathise with Linehan's view on Transgender ideology (which we Boggart Bloggers do,) angry, resentful, perhaps a bit scared, and on the look out for someone or something on to which to pin the blame – and someone or something to make it all right again. People with such a mindset are much easier to manipulate and control because they give up their agency. We must be fearless in defending our right to free speech.

If there is some truth in this, or even if there is not, it is incumbent on all of those who agree that Linehan’s arrest is outrageous not to get angry, and not to get led into followership of one or more politician, influencer, or journalist who might promise to “make everything right”. They too may be subsequently captured or manipulated (and may well already have been so) and may lead their followers down blind alleys.

Rather, we must take a deep breath, know that it is wrong, try to stay calm, compassionate and open to and understanding of others’ perspectives, and do whatever is in our power to push back, locally, quietly, and our own individual ways.
