I hadn't seen anything about this on X/Twitter previously, but apparently some activists have been putting pressure on the venue and they've cancelled an upcoming event called Comedy Unleashed because one of the comedians is Graham Linehan. How utterly pathetic. https://twitter.com/UnleashedComedy/status/1691476377793409024?s=20 Seems to be organised by/associated with Andrew Doyle, aka Titania McGrath.

I cannot believe that Tatchell was there while Glinner was discussing paedophiles. And with a straight face said that Glinner had a habit of highlighting a ‘few bad’ people. tatchell!!!

Tatchell has no shame.

questionable images of underage children unclothed

I think these are the pictures I've seen of the after effects of gender affirming care. I'm glad it's acknowledged that these children are underage. I'm surprised the problem is the pictures though. They're often originally taken and posted by the butcher surgeon who amputated the breasts of these 'underage children'. Sometimes she's gurning in the picture with the 'underage children'. Sometimes it's just the 'underage children' with the massive scars across their chests and the smaller self-harm scars on their arms. Trans joy!

OK - let’s be more objective.

The things GL has done and said that might lead many to consider him odious and vile are relatively well known, and it is especially likely that anyone complaining about him to the arches will have both known of these things and included them in their complaints.

You’re deeply disingenuous.

Yes, I think those will make great evidence for the court.

Be good to have it on public record that yes, actually, minors do get their breasts amputated.

The self harm scars on most of those patients are eye opening.

Goodness. Thanks for posting that. I see what was meant by a car crash.

I’d never heard of Grace Blakey before, for which I’m thankful. Tat hell is a disgrace.

borntobequiet · 17/08/2023 08:36

Tatchell. Perspicacious autocorrect.

Yes I think this is one of those lies that is insidiously repeated so often the TRAs simply now believe it to be true. The phrasing is loaded to discredit him.

Also, many people are wilfully dim. I saw someone calling Glinner for all sorts for using a picture of his daughter without permission. Others started bollocking on about copyright and legal options. The guy got excited about this then mentioned it was a comment about his profile pic.

G had said something like 'I feel sorry for your daughter'. Blunt, antagonistic, not especially nice, but certainly nothing dodgy as they are increasingly trying to paint.

BernardBlacksMolluscs · 17/08/2023 08:40

Watching that I realise quite how much gaslighting Graham Linehan has been subjected to. I’ve been quite unsympathetic to him because he’s a noisy man who ignores Mumsnet etiquette. But that clip has changed my views somewhat

smug presenter woman why do you keep saying there’s loads of paedophiles at the heart of transactivism Graham

GL lists pedophiles at the heart of transactivism

SPW oh Graham, where did it all go wrong?

she seemed to feel that because she’d enjoyed his programmes she owns him in some way and can put pressure on him to behave in a way she finds palatable

aren’t people odd?

Helleofabore · 17/08/2023 08:45

Does everyone remember Tatchell saying :

Mr Tatchell said “I would say a different approach would be to challenge those who feel uncomfortable, to make them feel comfortable in their own bodies, and around the bodies of others, to enable them to not feel threatened or embarrassed or ashamed”.

Meaning girls should be made to feel ‘comfortable’ being naked around male bodies in their changing rooms?

I believe the segment on RT News was removed. However the statement was captured and repeated across the internet for posterity.

https://safeschoolsallianceuk.net/2020/02/11/safe-schools-alliance-uk-response-to-peter-tatchell-interview-on-rt/amp/

This is the same man who also goes into school and tells teenage girls that porn can enhance their sex life and is a great way to learn ‘sex’. I will see if I can find that quote.

I remember finding his comment on the young girl who her parents married off at 14 to a Turkish man repulsive. When the couple entered Britain, they were separated by the government as she was still under age at the time with one or two children. Tatchell told the world that she should have been kept with her husband. I have not been able to find that quote either. There is just so much content from Tatchell some quotes get lost.

This man has so many instances of him advocating for lowering children’s sexual boundaries to non-existent.

Tatchell has been advocating sex with minors for years. Why he's ever invited on mainstream media as any kind of commentator baffles me.

NicCageisnotNickCave · 17/08/2023 08:53

Mumford and Son’s chap saw it.

So odd that Talk TV have tried to DFE - doesn’t seem to have been at GL’s request, as he’s promised to track it down and repost it.

I think this is going to get a lot more people to realise what actually happened to Linehan, and to take a closer look at the evidenced underpinnings of rent-a-gob Tatchell.

I hope Andrew Neil is going to use his considerable resources to amplify this. Has he twigged yet about Tatchell, I wonder?

NicCageisnotNickCave · 17/08/2023 09:08

Surely everyone in the media knows about Tatchell (but in that ‘I’ve not seen anything myself so I’m not saying anything’ way?)

Helleofabore · 17/08/2023 09:09

So, we now have a long list of venues who have cancelled events in this way and groups campaigning for events to be cancelled (regardless of if they are or not). Let’s not forget the fall out of the Sex Matters meeting in the Museum. There are now quite a few.

Except she pronounced The IT Crowd as The It Crowd so maybe she wasn't honestly that familiar with his work?

I rolled my eyes at that.

AutumnCrow · 17/08/2023 09:21

She’s probably used a ‘hilarious’ Mrs Doyle gif recently and met Ardal O’Hanlon once in the 1990s.

In the same way that a celebrity abuser was well known about for years. Private Eye was running stories about JS since the 1980s as far as I can remember.

Someone with clout needs to join the dots and start ranting.

Focus on the children. Always focus on the children.

Funnily enough, Jerry Sadowitz was one of the few who spoke about Saville. Along with John Lydon

Why did no one listen to Jerry's howl of rage?

MARTIN SAMUEL: There was a showbusiness personality brave enough to voice his concerns about Jimmy Savile. He’s the comedian they won’t let on television.

You can pronounce the show I.T. or it.

ArabeIIaScott · 17/08/2023 09:41

Whistleblowers and truth tellers often say things that sound extremely shocking. In a way, they are attacked for the crimes they are calling attention to, as a means of denial or deflection.

That car crash interview looked like a clear case of the interviewer shooting the messenger, working very hard to stop Linehan from speaking about unpleasant facts. She raised the issue of groomers/paedophilia, and then when Graham named the people he was referring to, acted as though he were raving.

The cases he mentioned are easily googlable. They're not 'allegations' - David Challenor's case was widely reported.

Interesting to see the response on Twitter, though. Where 'Glinner' and 'Tatchell' are trending, and have been for the past couple of days.

Someone ought to remind Piers Morgan of that Johnny Rotten interview.
