Graham Linehan’s Book

tbh i think a lot of it came (the complaints of anti-semitism anyway) after the films actually showed the goblins. Who look, to be fair, like most portrayals of goblins since they were first drawn.

But haters gotta hate.

It's not out yet, but you should be able to pre order.

Posted before I had finished 🙄
One of the copies is for my partner, who still doesn't get it but is a huge fan of Graham Linehan's work, and Richard Ayoade too.

Have a feeling that this has huge potential to reach and get through to a lot of people, especially men of a certain age,who haven't grasped what all the fuss is about yet.

Very well played, Graham!

Does anyone know how I can get this on kindle? The Amazon app appears to Ofer it on kindle but then says the app doesn't support buying it, it doesn't make sense 😕

This is going to be the first hardback I've bought since the magnificent Invisible Women by Caroline Criado Perez

Alexander Solzhenitsyn (LIve not by Lies).
"And the simplest and most accessible key to our self-neglected liberation lies right here: Personal non-participation in lies. Though lies conceal everything, though lies embrace everything – not with any help from me. This opens a breech in the imaginary encirclement caused by our inaction. It is the easiest thing to do for us but the most devastating for the lies. Because when people renounce lies it simply cuts short their existence. Like an infection, they can exist only in a living organism."

Mammals cannot change sex.

Fantastic!!

Second only to Richard Osman in the best sellers 🤗

And trending on Twitter X for all the right reasons

Just bought on Amazon and also phoned our (brilliant) local bookshop to pre-order through them as well. Spoke to the owner and when I mentioned the book she enthusiastically said "Oh yes, I've just heard about that. I'll definitely be stocking it"

Ordered.

Ordered via Amazon, because I loved seeing the picture at position #2 when I opened up the Book and Reading home page.

Hardback, and just like a PP, this'll be the first hardback I have purchased since the late, great Terry Pratchett.

We will no longer be silenced.

I hope @glinner (think I've got it right!) manages to catch up on this thread, and feels the love and approval. Although he might be nursing RSI, from all the signed copies...

Sold.

#2 on Amazon. That's truly fucking amazing.

I'm always bemused by that. Amazing how the books were out for almost twenty years, broke world records, written up in every major newspaper across the world but somehow no one noticed all this supposed bigotry.
Very mysterious.

Number 2 behind Richard Osman's latest one now, although I suspect it probably isn't going to get any higher than that given how well RO sells. Still, an impressive early showing.

“A brilliant rollicking tale heavy with laugh out loud moments wrapped around compelling messages about silencing those who disagree and protecting women’s rights that will give you deep pause for thought. Don’t you dare buy it or you’ll go straight to the Gulag.”

😂😂😀😀😀

Ordered mine as soon as I got the email!

Can’t wait for the Guardian review.

Very late to the party/thread but delighted to order my first copy. Congrats @glinner you lovely, decent, talented and tall breath of fresh air. And hooray to JR and RA - I was very surprised and pleased to see their quotes. Well done, lads

Ironically both Richard and Jonathan are labeled "funnymen", yet we can't say the same for the complainants? 😀

👍👍👍

Ordered.
Don't forget to drop into a TRA twitter thread complaining about the book and thank them for the heads up. For some reason it seems to upset them.

I will never forget how glinner said in the early days that he couldn’t believe that others couldn’t see this sinister movement for what it is and how perplexed it must have been for this thoroughly decent man to find himself a lone celebrity voice. Losing income and all his industry connections.

And from me, and anyone else that wasn't there 'in those early days' and hadn't realised WTF was was going, a massive thanks. Some good people have to stand up for the truth.

Bloody hell it's at #3 on Amazon in the Top 100. I'm a bit emotional. This brings me home.

Off to preorder the Kindle edition. If it gets to #1 it'll be labelled that way on the listing (and end up as an aside in reviews in the Mail and Telegraph at least).

Not that cancelled then by non meeja Twitterati then...

Ironically, the sensible truth-loving majority has been forced to become the Bishop Brennans, who have the unmistakeably painful arse, but are point-blank guaranteed that nobody kicked them; and the 10'x10' photo of the kicking in plain sight outside is also all just in their crazy, phobic, bigoted little heads.

Bit late to the party but my order is in too.

Also patiently awaiting the audio version.

I'm sure this has been done... but being an awkward sort I think about this sequence probably as often as the average man thinks about the roman empire
