The co-creator of Father Ted, Graham Linehan, was arrested at Heathrow Airport on Monday on suspicion of ‘inciting violence’. His crime? Criticising trans ideology on social media.
No sooner had Linehan disembarked his flight from Arizona than he was apprehended by armed police. In a post on Substack, he explained that his arrest was for three posts on X. One of the tweets read: ‘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.’
This is how Graham Linehan shows up for trial in the UK just days after being arrested in the London airport for posting "offensive tweets"
This is how you deal with the trans mob. Double down. We're cheering you on, @Glinner pic.twitter.com/vWVItcwUGK
