Graham Linehan visited by police again.....

Surely the police have a legal responsibility to use their resources responsibly and in the interests of the public. There are criteria that have to be met for them to take action on a report aren’t there? I’d like to see the paperwork for this one and have it justified by them in relation to their legal responsibilities.

The police need to stop wasting public money by pandering to vexatious complaints.

I've had a similar experience to a pp below when I received a note that someone in my neighbourhood was watching me. The police (W Yorks) didn't care.

Thanks for alerting me to this. Appalling and dangerous. Police need to toughen up and remember that wasting their time is - quite rightly - a crime of its own.

Bright side. Being compared to Posie obviously triggered Haddock big time.

The thought of the steam coming out of his ears is really quite amusing.

Waves at Eve and The Monitors

Meanwhile on Penis News this is a totally acceptable way to speak....
And to be honest this is mild, compared to other I've seen.

Aren’t we the evil carceral feminists?

That's because we want to imprison male people for trivial things like rape, domestic violence and murder against women.

Obviously male people being made fun of on the internet is different, durr.

The police were probably just excited to meet the writer of Father Ted and The IT Crowd. Probably drew lots to see who got the call.

I contacted the police a few years ago because a former neighbour sought me out at my new address to tell me he missed watching me through my bedroom window in my old house! I was pretty freaked out. It was the fact he actually went to the trouble of finding my new address and coming to tell me. The police told me he hadn’t done anything wrong. I can just imagine their response to DR H had he contacted them with this!

Anyway isn’t it transphobic to involve the police? Wasn’t that why they were boycotting pride? Because there was a police presence and it made them feel unsafe?

Though I suppose the ‘glinted is such a transphobe the police even got involved’ narrative has a bit more steam to it.

So transparent and manipulative.

We see you.

Wasn’t it Norfolk police last time?

I'm gob smacked that the police didn't politely tell Dr H to have a word with himself and simply NFA the complaint

If Glinner is willing to share which police force apparently have ample spare resource to do this stuff, I will complain the relevant police and crime commissioner about the madness (and indeed harassment of Glinner, which is what this is becoming - the police are not tools to be used in a private feud)

What crime did he report? What police force was this?

What??

I mean.

Gosh.

On what possible grounds does that need police involvement?

The gulags shall be pretty full if that’s considered a crime now.

He did make a fool of himself on that news piece, though. He seems incredibly thin-skinned about it.

I don’t think the police will be happy to keep telling off anyone who points out that he’s silly, though.

Absolutely agree HandsOffMyRights what an appalling waste of resources.

Harrop isn't trans. There's no possibility of a hate crime here.

Very glad to hear the police were pleasant. They probably saw through all the bullshit themselves

Why didn't they just tell Harrop to stop wasting police time?

Sweet Jesus. Calling the police because someone called him out for his male privilege. I've heard it all now. Graham didn't even say anything remotely threatening, personal or even vaguely 'mean' about him. What a ridiculous little specimen he is

Very glad to hear the police were pleasant. They probably saw through all the bullshit themselves

FFS, that man is the epitome of narcissism. He really doesn’t think that the stripped-back police force don’t have better things to do with their time?

Old Adrian called the police because someone was discussing a piece on Sky News!?

There was nothing in that tweet that remotely is worthy of police attention.

What a numpty.

I hope the police force is named so we can submit complaints/FOI and call for an investigation of what grounds Harrop had and just why an overstretched force acted on this.

I'm sure local victims of crime and tax payers will be thrilled that resource was used for this.

But why did the police come? What was the crime?

And this is the thread that Harrop thought warranted a visit from the police.

Kinesis, who is trans, on being called transphobic.

I’m glad I’m on the side of women and transwomen like Kinesis. Meanwhile, the other side has Doctor ‘Do No Harm’ Adrian Harrop, Aimee Challenor, Jess Bradley, Rachel McKinnon etc.

Along with countless well-meaning people who have somehow forgotten that we live in a patriarchy, and thus been conditioned to hate and distrust women.

So if you STILL believe that thousands of left wing women and lesbians suddenly turned into bigots overnight, then you’re The Left’s equivalent to climate change deniers.

Have a look at this again and ask yourself why Parker is banned from various platforms, while Harrop isn’t. Could it be anything to do with...male privilege? Could it have anything to do with men deciding what women are and are not allowed to say? t.co/na1rgG9eUC

I'm really confused. Since when was "someone was mean to me on twitter" been a police matter?
