I just want to say thank you for everything you are doing.

there have been quite a few fake Graham profiles set up
on Twitter by TRAs, are you sure that's not one of theirs? He hasn't been on Twitter for a couple of years.

This guy was in the DM recently about the same thing, so per7the tide is turning and we’re going to see more of this.

Mind you that's true.
He was chucked off Twitter a long time ago.

If GL offered genital inspections the only interpretation is that it would be taking the piss out of TRA.

Graham was famously kicked off twitter years ago whereupon a number of fake profiles were set up tweeting all the things TRA accuse him of

It’s frighteningly easy to impersonate anyone on twitter

@Circumferences that is not satire. I generally love his humour, father Ted and IT crowd are my two most favourite comedy shows. There's a difference between satire and being grossly offensive.

It is a really annoying thing for the political lobby activists on Twitter that they not only have the labour and effort of making a lot of accusations, they even have to go and create the evidence of it themselves to be able to screenshot it.

It must be exhausting. You'd think the people they accuse would have the decency to at least do the things they're accused of.

Wasn't Graham banned from Twitter ages ago? It's a fake account - do you have a link?

I wish he'd stop mentioning his seperation in these interviews, it's very disrespectful and unfair to his ex-wife.

How can Graham have a Twitter feed when he's been banned for years?

More gobshite smearing him?

Anyway, it was a very powerful article about an equally powerful interview. The below-the-line comments are very supportive of Graham and his ex-wife Helen and their family.

Adrian Harrop gets a mention.

I think the TRAs doxxing her was 'disrespectful an unfair'.

TRAs maliciously reporting people to the police is 'disrespectful and unfair'.

Well, this thread is certainly bringing out some new posters with novel takes.

I do admit to being a little bit jealous of Graham managing to wind people up so much that they have to come up with this stuff.

@soregums are you going to respond to the PP who have pointed out he’s no longer on Twitter? It’s just another TRA-created fake profile.

That's so obviously a fake account - but then, the interview you claimed to have read also mentioned his well-known Twitter ban. Somebody is being a bit disingenuous...

I'm not without a sense of frustration that it could well be the DM / Mail Online that acts as a key instrument in shaming our Tory Government into actually doing something about the way this deranged woo ideology is pervading all aspects of our society.

What a bloody farce.

What's that got to do with his ex?

That's what happened to Glinner and why he was given a harassment warning following a dispute on Twitter: it's non-contestable and remains on his record (and those of other people who've had one which is very concerning).

The Mail are doing sterling work covering this issue:

That's just his side of the story, who knows why they really seperated? TBH it's none of our business and him repeatedly blathering on about it in the national press and on TV as the reason they split is disrespectful to his ex.

I wasn't commenting on anything but the harassment warning aka Police Information Notices: the non-contestable nature of those is profoundly anti-democratic.

Sorry my mistake @embarrassingHadrosaurus

No-one knows the insides of another person’s relationship, but it would be very surprising indeed if the stress, harassment (both of GL and his family) and financial troubles wasn’t a contributing factor.

He has done a huge amount to help lift Women’s rights issues to the surface, at a great personal cost. Doing what is right is not always the same as doing what is easy - thank you Graham.
