Graham Linehan’s Book

[PretzelKnot]

Tough Crowd, due out 12 October. I’m delighted to see this. He is such a good writer and has sacrificed so much in defence of women’s rights and reality itself. Hope it’s a smash hit.

Matt Berry said the IT crowd episode was of its time and he did not align with Graham now. “I don’t condone anything that that comedy portrayed, you know? I don’t share any views that the writer has.”

Cowardly little weasel.

I don’t share any views that the writer has

Really? No views at all? I find that unlikely.

Bloody brilliant. Just ordered a signed copy. Hope it tops the Christmas best seller lists.

You can but sometimes Amazon limit it to amazon purchases as they did with the book " when kids say they're trans"

Values as a job lot - nailed it! God I love MN.

Great to hear this, a bit of good news on MN this morning. Lets hope it encourages others to be a bit braver. Will be buying, of course.

Oh no, that is very disappointing 🙁

The TRAs are using that to attack him.

You know how hot they are on guilt by association.

Glinner is one of the rare male heroes of the day and a fine and funny man to boot.

I'll be ordering my copy even though the reading of it will inevitably be anger-inducing, due to the extremely unjust treatment he's scored for standing up for justice, reality and sanity.

Good to know Richard Ayoade didn’t find himself in an Ethical Pickle over it 😊

Preordered on Amazon. I want to be sure I can leave a review.

Well done @Glinner, I predict the sales will be massive!

He's going to be at Let Women Speak in Dublin tomorrow too

Thank you Graham for supporting us, for not apologising, for not backing down.
Thank you Richard and Jonathon for supporting a man who supports us.

Looking forward to my nice new book arriving.

Perhaps if it does well he might be encouraged to write more. It will give him a new platform now that he can't get tv work for love nor money.

Newspaper serialisation too!

And Glinner and Richard A are trending on twiXter - the frothing blue hairs are doing a great job of publicising the book

@Glinner says he's recording the audiobook

I never buy anything because I'm always skint, but I will buy this. Absolutely love glinner and his sense of humour (I'm willing to believe I lack context for count Arthur strong lol). He has lost so much, also he was willing to realise he harmed others with his previous behaviour and apologised. Admirable.

Why do people think, as a bloke he has been (almost) singled out for cancellation, when most men just get gentle blowback? James dreyfuss and Gareth Roberts were also treated to the same treatment.

I would like to see this on the shelf at my local library (or will it be locked up in the restricted section for dangerous books?). I think I will try to order it there.

Pre-ordered -thanks!

This is wonderful news. Especially the tweet from Simon Edge about newspaper serialisation. Hope Glinner is finally in a position to earn a living again. I've just pre-ordered it, together with the forthcoming Strike book which is also due out soon. Great to see RA and JR endorsements.

I ordered it today.
Although the last time I ordered books from Simon Edge (and liked his tweets about the books I'd ordered) - some TRA went on GoodReads and gave my own book a scathingly bad review. Tossers.

I've pre-ordered one direct to get a signed copy, and another on Amazon so I can review etc. and give as a gift.

Congratulations @Glinner - I can't wait to read it.

It was all the X/Twitter frothing that alerted me to the book release - cheers dudes!

The Babs Streisand affect will be powerful with this one 😁

Glinner said MB apologised, he doesn't seem bothered by it.

Surely as their calls for boycotts grow more and more ridiculous, this time it is to cancel people whose views on the matter are unknown but essentially liking an unrelated book, people will grow tired of it.

This again is like the cancel JKR because she liked a tweet of someone who once posted a completely separate "transphobic" tweet that wasn't liked by her.
