Glinner’s Xmas Break

I just watched Graham’s video tonight where he says he’s taking a break from Twitter over Xmas and I realised that a) we are going to miss him hugely and b) he must be in need of some headspace. The guy is a fucking legend and has taken on this fight to much cost to his reputation, not to mention personal life. I feel such love for the man because he is the ONLY ‘celebrity’ who’s vocal on Twitter who seems to feel as aggrieved and as passionate as I do! It breaks my heart that it might be getting too much for him because if he bowed out I’d feel like they’d won.

Graham, I hope you have a peaceful break over Xmas because if anyone deserves some down time it’s you you bloody ledge.

Thank you so much for all that you do.

❤️

Absolutely. I’ll raise a glass of Christmas cheer to you too, Glinner. Peace, light and good health to you and yours.

SeaWitchly · 15/12/2018 02:05

Thank you Glinner, we all appreciate you standing shoulder to shoulder with us in speaking out against the lunacy of the TRAs.
Hope you have a peaceful and relaxing Christmas break xx

MsLToe · 15/12/2018 02:08

Yes I watched this and thought he seemed really stressed. Which is no wonder. I have so much respect and gratitude to the man for sticking his head above the parapet where so many are too cowardly.

I just really hope he returns as we have a powerful ally in him, given his high profile and that you can tell he really does care about this.

DoctorTwo · 15/12/2018 02:09

Have a great Xmas @Glinner, see you next year you bloody hero.

PyeWackets · 15/12/2018 07:08

Ah yeh, a man who GETS it, totally GETS it. It is such a relief to know they exist. So many lefty so called feminist men are nothing more than frothing misogynists, pro porn and anti women.

AnyOtherPerson · 15/12/2018 07:14

Thanks from me too Graham. Have a wonderful Christmas.

Xmas Smile

Thank you so much Glinner. Don't blame you.WineCakeGin[santa]Tardis

I'm going to fill my boots with father ted this Xmas (as Jenni Murray said she does this week ;) )

dianebrewster · 15/12/2018 07:29

I watched the video as well, will join you in raising a glass to him. Yes he really does SEE the cult for what it is.

QueenieMum · 15/12/2018 07:31

I watched his message last night and was really moved by it. For him to stand shoulder to shoulder with women in spite of what's happened to him and his family is amazing. He just gets it. Despite him thinking otherwise he comes across so well and is a beacon of hope in all this madness. Thank you for everything you've done Glinner, I wish you and your family a very happy, peaceful Christmas.

HandsOffMyRights · 15/12/2018 07:32

Thanks Glinner, you truly are an ally. I agree with the OP. I admire him immensly, but it's fair to say this is taking its toll.

He is the only celebrity taking the hit for this. Where is everybody to take some of the load from Graham? I get frustrated that the likes of Caitlin Moran are off making quips about feminism, while this battle goes on in front of their eyes. I still believe that if a large volume of celebrities stood up in unison then there would be strength in numbers and influence to call this out.

If feels like we are in a parallel universe, a surreal moment from one of Graham's show.

If you're reading this, Graham. Thank you for everything you do. Enjoy a restful Christmas with your family and don't let the bastards grind you down.

LizzieSiddal · 15/12/2018 07:34

Have a very good break Glinner and Thank you for all you do.

I’ve had to delete Twitter, I was getting bloody depressed by the goings on, and found it never ending and so depressing. And Glinner has been so attacked, I don’t know how he and others like him, carry on.

NotTerfNorCis · 15/12/2018 07:57

Hope you have a lovely peaceful Christmas, Glinner. Xmas Smile

adultFemaleElf · 15/12/2018 08:03

Thanks Graham.

So many of the younger comedians (esp female - c.f. Guilty feminist crew) are virtue signalling their “woke” credentials and have drunk the kool aid/swallowed the inclusivityFirst pill that it must be pretty lonely for Glinner.
We appreciate you.

adultFemaleElf · 15/12/2018 08:04

And Twitter is not the real world.

No one I’ve ever met in RL believes that men can turn into women.

Bienchen · 15/12/2018 08:08

Have a truly peaceful and relaxing Christmas glinner, appreciating what you are doing for women, hoping that more influential men and women line up behind you.

Rabidgingercat · 15/12/2018 08:09

Thank you so much Glinner. I’m so touched by your bravery around this issue. Many of us are trying to speak out about the impact upon existing safeguarding in the public sector. It’s a soul destroying process. Listening to you this week has motivated me to keep at it. Your recent video so well articulated how tackling this makes you feel. It was an immense relief to me to hear.
Thank you so much. Wishing you and your family a wonderful, Twitter-free Xmas ⛄️

Saucery · 15/12/2018 08:15

I don’t know if he expected other right minded people in the media to stand up alongside him, but when they didn’t he took the flak, intrusion, lies and harassment without backtracking.
He’s admirable in his consistent stance against the lunacy and I hope he has a good break.

Cheers for Count Arthur Strong too! Grin

Happy Christmas Glinner, and thank you.

Merry Christmas Glinner! Hope you have a lovely time with your family. Xmas Smile

Procrastinator1 · 15/12/2018 09:08

Thank you Glinner and I hope you and your family have a lovely Christmas.
I share your frustration. It is so difficult to explain what has been going on to someone who hasn't been following it. A Government Minister declaring trans women are women, police investigating people, men taking part in women's sport, the transing of children, men in women's prisons, all with the support of many of the great and good. It is unbelievable.

hazeyjane · 15/12/2018 09:14

Saw this too, and am glad he is taking a break from the Twitterverse, for the sake of his sanity.

Happy Christmas Glinner.

ChristmasWrappingTheWaitresses · 15/12/2018 09:15

Thanks to Glinner and hope you have a very merry Christmas with your family.
