Graham Linehan in the Times

[Igneococcus]

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

(I was driving one time when Count Arthur Strong came on the radio and I had to pull over as I was laughing so much I wasn't safe to drive. True story. Really Glinner has given so much joy to the world.)

@Pudmyboy

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

I think he only co-wrote the TV show. I loved that too.

Thankyou for all you do @Glinner
We think the world of you

@OldTurtleNewShell

I think I want "The house is on fire" on a t shirt.

One of the reasons Linehan is seen as such a threat by trans activists is because he is such a talented writer.
He has an unerring sense of the absurd and puts across the nub of the issue with clarity and humour.
Being called out for their crap and getting people to laugh at it? No wonder TRAs hate him so much.

Yes! The new adult human female t shirt. The house is on fire!

Thank you @Glinner for everything you’ve done. You are appreciated. It’s taken such a toll that nobody would blame you for taking a break from it all. But you are that rare thing - a man who truly cares about women. There aren’t many of you about and it seems we need a man to speak up for anyone to take any notice. Shit as it is. whatever is your tipple, I raise a glass/cup/plate to you.

Count Arthur did so poorly when it was on the BBC that I'm still paying off the advance for writing it and don't get any money from Netflix. So spreading the word that it's on there would be hugely appreciated!

Wait, you don’t get any money from Netflix when they put a show you wrote on there? I don’t know how all that works but it seems very wrong.

I’m on the last series of Count Arthur Strong now, really enjoying it!

delighted it's found a new audience! the BBC didn't have a clue what to do with it

Maybe if the BBC had promoted Count Arthur Strong as much as they do Mrs Brown’s Boys it would have done better. It’s an injustice it’s not more appreciated.

Thank you for all you do, Glinner, and I’ll stop being huffy on your behalf about the perceived personal remarks in the article if they don’t bother you

Up with this sort of thing.

Thanks, Graham.

Up with this sort of thing

Love it.

Thank you Graham.

Another massive thank you from me, Glinner. Human females everywhere owe you a great deal, even if they don't all see it yet.

Thank you from me too Glinner.

@Marjorine

Up with this sort of thing.

Thanks, Graham.

Keep 'er lit, Graham.
I watched you in the Freedom of Expression Online Inquiry (Communications and Digital Commitee) and I'm so glad the Times has now done this article on you. You are fighting for something bigger than yourself, the ability to speak out is our biggest superpower.

Thank you Glinner. You’re a bloody legend.

Thanks from me too. For putting yourself in the line of fire for what you know is right.

The most recommended comment (by Lady Gargoyle) has currently 670 recommends, and there are many with similar numbers, all supportive. That is huge for an article in the Scotland section of the Times. I don't think I have ever seen that many outside the main news or comment section.

A few times in my life I was very lucky. One of those times was being in the studio audience for Father Ted (the roller skating one). It was a privilege!

Off to find Count Arthur Strong

My fried put a Count Arthur Strong episode on for me. I hadn't seen it before. That was the first time I laughed since I lost my son. Thank you Graham.

Glinner on Free Speech Nation podcast with Andrew Doyle

endofthelinefinally - I am so sorry to read of your loss and glad that laughter is helping you through it.

Another person adding my wholehearted thanks to Glinner for his amazing bravery. I’m sorry it’s come at such a high price for you but at least you can sleep at night knowing you are in the right, and you are helping with this battle to regain women’s rights to single sex spaces as well as helping to protect vulnerable children from making life changing decisions based on lies and misinformation

"All I can do is keep ringing the bell because, as far as I’m concerned, this is second only to climate change as being the most important thing happening today. It’s an absolute onslaught on women’s rights, they’re actually returning them to the pre-suffragette era."

What could be a more balanced statement than that? Everyone knows just how many millions of men are flocking into women's toilets and changing rooms, dressed as women, in order to oppress them. It isn't the ruling class who are oppressing women and attacking their rights, it's transgender women.

I would love a tee shirt with " the house is on fire" on it. Maybe something can be arranged?

Thing is, I saw a fire getting put out by the fire service just the other day. Before they arrived it looked big and scary. Then one guy hopped out the engine and hosed it down like he was watering his garden. Nae bother. With the right people, we'll put the fire out, nae bother.
