Graham Linehan in the Times

[Igneococcus]

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

www.thetimes.co.uk/article/8c85b4ba-0d01-11ec-9503-f24d9e0411ae?shareToken=e1879f56c612595d4281520d6ea0821c

Another grateful subscriber here, thank you Graham. If you do see all these messages, and I hope you do, please look after yourself. When this whole tragic house of cards collapses we will all remember who stood on the side of women and girls.

He's absolutely right about Trump being a model here: narcissism made over into a political strategy. Winning by any means possible. No shame. No empathy. No ethics. TRAs simply do not see girls and women as having any intrinsic value.

I am fascinated by someone that will pursue something despite the huge impact on their life. I can only think of a few people who have put their own personal interests behind what they are trying to promote/challenge.

Yes Aparallaxia, that's exactly how I see it.

I met him at the first Glasgow protest a couple of months ago. Lovely man who is beyond brave in taking on the trans lobby.

Thank you @Glinner

Fantastic man. Thank you Graham for helping to elevate this issue, and doing it so eloquently. Your treatment has been abhorrent and yet you stand steadfast. You are a hero.

Just adding another voice in case this wonderful man is reading this. Graham is a bloody hero and one day (as trite as it sounds) this will be seen and recognised as much as it should now. I admire him a lot, and thank him for being so amazing.

I wholeheartedly agree. I watch his YouTube shows with Helen and Arty - thank you Graham for all you do (from a concerned middle-aged woman, with a young daughter).

Did anyone see the awful meme making fun of his divorce ? :(

It's a good start that the Times are interviewing Graham and I genuinly think that the tide is turning.
Thank you Graham for keeping at it, love your podcasts.

I hope Graham feels heartened by the comments. I found the article a little snide in places but the comments are great.

Thank you Graham for your persistence and bravery in standing up for women and girls and using your voice to spread awareness of the madness we’re facing.

Karma - or divine justice - bites hard. It takes a long time to come but when it comes…

Sorry - that was in response to @YetAnotherSpartacus and the meme gloating at Glinner’s personal circumstances.
#BeKind my ass.

First of all, thank you so much for all the kind words. I remain honoured to be in this fight with so many of you.

I've seen a few things about the tone of Mike's piece. I am completely happy with it. All I've ever wanted is for someone to report my position accurately, which he did. Of course, there are a lot of gaps, but this is such a big story, I don't mind people not grasping it all at once.

Nice to see you, Glinner, and I wish you the best.

Adding my thanks Glinner. When I feel disheartened that this fight is never ending, I remember how honourable folks like you are endlessly fighting and it gives me courage to keep doing my part.

Hi Graham!
You are a hero. Thank you for all you are doing. I liked the article. The journalist did seem to 'get it'.

Thank you seems inadequate for everything Graham Linehan has done for women and girls, but I'd like to say it to him anyway.

I'm sorry that it has come at such personal cost.

OMG Glinner posted on the thread, feeling a bit starstruck 🤩

Thank you Graham, you’re a legend.

Thanks from me too, Graham.
When all the virtue signallers will be backtracking about this (and I truly believe that day will come), you are one of the few that can hold your head up high.

Stay safe, Glinner, look after yourself. And thanks, natch

Thanks for years of the best comedy on the tv. We used to take Father Ted and Black Books DVDs on holiday with us as the kids loved them too when they were little. Total hero.

Look after yourself Glinner. Your dedication is really appreciated.

I love Count Arthur Strong on the radio, does anyone know if Glinner get paid for that, or only for the TV show?
