I wish they'd put it in the main paper rather than the Scotland section:

Very heartened to see, so far, 100% support and agreement with him in the comments.

I just wish a few more well known names would speak up. He's pretty much on his own out there.....

A wonderful man. So sad to hear about the end of his marriage.

SydneyCarton · 04/09/2021 08:07

I had no idea his marriage had ended because of this Sad

midgemagneto · 04/09/2021 08:09

It would be safer for his wife and daughters

Yes , the usual suspects often gloat about that on his YouTube comments. Tells you all you need to know about them.
LazyViper · 04/09/2021 08:14

Thank you for the share token. The comments are so heartening too.

He's endured so much and it would be easy to throw in the towel and I applaud him for standing here with us.

Thanks for posting this.

I must say, I feel like he does a lot of the time:

“What I don’t understand, and I mean this in the nicest possible way, is why aren’t you obsessed with this?

RocketPanda · 04/09/2021 08:21

Better to be thought of as a king than cheering on sex offenders in Spas.

Theeyeballsinthesky · 04/09/2021 08:23

Of course they can’t Igno, like all TRA they only have insults & emotional manipulation.

Fair play to The Times for interviewing him & giving him space to talk.

CloseYourEyesAndSee · 04/09/2021 08:23

They misunderstood his use of the word peak and turned it into pique. Peak Times.

Ah well. Kind of balances out all the people I see doing the opposite...

Not going to loose sleep over it.

rabbitwoman · 04/09/2021 08:26

Although I have reported your post, happydays, to some degree I see your point.

This debate, this fight, has obviously taken it's toll on Graham. He has paid a really high price for standing up for what he believes in. For me, it's a disgrace and supreme unfairness that history won't remember what an integral part he has played in turning the tide and exposing some of the worst aspects of this debacle,because when it ends - and end it shall - it will be with no fanfare, no announcements, thise responsible will just fade away and probably pretend they never said anything, try to forget it.... Whilst this man's reputation will be tarnished forever.

Well, I won't forget, he is amazing and I am grateful to him for what he does.

Sittinginthesand · 04/09/2021 08:26

Thank you, Graham.

Waitwhat23 · 04/09/2021 08:27

@CloseYourEyesAndSee was just about to make a similar comment - the level of idiocy is strong in that one!

highame · 04/09/2021 08:28

My comment is 'awaiting moderation', my comments usually are Grin. so will say it here:-
Twitter is political, Twitter hates women ergo Twitter hates Graham but I and many others know that Graham likes and supports women. You understand the argument and we thank you for that. I am sorry this has cost you so much

RocketPanda · 04/09/2021 08:29

You're right @rabbitwoman there will be no fanfare but our daughters will have the right to say no to a penis without fear of prosecution.

DancesWithTortoises · 04/09/2021 08:30

We owe him so much. Thank you, Graham.

NutellaEllaElla · 04/09/2021 08:30

Oh gosh Graham it's cost you your marriage. While it's a noble cause, it's it worth such personal sacrifice?

Thanks for the link. The interview makes it very clear that it's not transphobic to be concerned
Why oh why can't TRAs see that there are bad people in the world who will take advantage of undermined safeguarding? Is it genuine ignorance (we could all just be nice and get along) or something more sinister? I guess I know that it's a few nasty bastards being supported by people who just don't realise what they are sleep walking us into. And the supporters won't have thought it through as they won't think it affects them, and they don't care about the quiet vulnerable. What a mess.

Abhannmor · 04/09/2021 08:40

Well I think Jeremy Corbyns last marriage ended over his children's schooling.His then wife didn't want them to attend a local state school iirc. Graham made a film for the abortion campaign , with Amnesty Ireland. Now it's director, who went round Ireland on a speaking tour with Glinner , refuses to engage with him. Amnesia Ireland I call them.
