Graham Linehan Appreciation Thread

[BraveAndStunning]

Just want to register my appreciation of his support of women.

He takes shit from TRAs day after day and his threads are brilliant. I know and he knows and acknowledges that women get far more abuse than he or any other man does for posting gender critical opinions and I thank him for acknowledging this fact too. A great man.

Thanks Graham. And Father Ted never stops being genius.

Is the message above Phishing or genuine?

Graham has seen the thread and says thanks to everyone!

I'm not phishing but I changed my username as I am trying to keep both platforms separate.

So understandably women won't want to message me their names so if you message one of graham's friends on twitter and ask for them to forward it to Graham he can unblock you that way.

Thanks Graham - especially with all you're going through health wise.

I love your work and now your support of women makes me appreciate you more.

I too wish somebody like JK would speak up.
I feel frustrated that Caitlin Moran, who has spoken so fervently about feminism over the years, does not engage. I'm losing respect for those I admired.

I've got Yazoo on loop though

He is great. It's good to see a man who isn't personally affected by this willing to speak out.

Thanks Graham

Thanks Graham, you rock.

Another Hear Hear from me too. Not only has he written some of the greatest comedies of all time, he is practically the only "celebrity " voice to unequivocally come out in defence of women and girls against the huge scandal that is self ID and all of it's safeguarding implications.
If you really are reading Glinner, thank you thank you thank you. It really is appreciated.

Another sending thanks
I’m not on twitter but appreciate what you are doing

Graham is definitely reading this thread. I told him about it and I also told him some GC women seem to have been blocked, he said it is accidental (bot) and he'll unblock you if you can get your names to him somehow. He's really glad that some women feel supported with him speaking out, he said it was really nice to hear and that's what he wants to do, for women to feel supported.

Thank you Graham, for sticking your head above the parapet. I haven't been brave enough to do so yet but I'm gathering courage!

Thank you, Graham. What you are doing is very much appreciated

Is there anything to be said for saying another mass thank you?

Yeah, of course there is! Cheers, Graham!

I’m active on Twitter and he is utterly fantastic. It’s so heartening having someone like him speaking up.

Love Father Ted. And The IT Crowd. And people who engage their brain for a bit of critical thinking. Can't help but like Glinner, in the circumstances.

Another one thanking Graham - a little ray of sunshine amidst this shit storm that is currently engulfing us

I always thought he was fab anyway but his stance on this is great. Thanks for your support!

So much hate though on twitter.

Worrying that folk are more wound up by someone talking about someone else doing something horrific, and that someone else having an influence on safeguarding against that horrid thing.

Worrying that folk are more wound up by the talking about it, than the doing of the child torture and rape.

I don't have any much faith in men these days but Mr Linehan is consistently proving himself to be more of a proper human being. I respect that enormously - and I truly appreciate it. So thank you Glinner, keep up the good work.

It matters.

Folk who publish/publicise their outrage at the talking thing, but offer no outrage at the doing thing, really need to check their moral compass. Grim.

Careful now

Thanks Graham.
