[IDareSay]

Arrested again! Details on his Substack. This is beyond a joke; 5 armed officers!

I feel so sorry for him. He's lost everything with this obsession.

I admire him for reminding men that they aren't women, and can never be women, no matter how much noise they make and how much they howl at the moon. Women don't have penises.

And it amazes me how transwomen seem to want to maintain male privilege and try to enforce it. Make your minds up, chaps.

Yawn.

What has to be present for this to be an arrest-able offence?

What do men change to ensure this mustn’t be said.

It’s almost as though a man who had an excellent career and was well-respected had a mental health event when he was cancelled and excommunicated due to having an unpopular opinion. Years later you are surprised he seems unwell and obsessed with the very thing that caused his life to implode?

I am not surprised at all. Historically people have been tortured and put to death for their rigid opinions. Nowadays you have your career killed instead.

Meanwhile, the police cannot be bothered when women are being threatened, stalked, harassed.

If a female victim is raped and murdered the judicial system just declares that she liked rough sex and it was essentially her own fault. Even when current and former lovers say that she didn't like it rough.

Utterly ridiculous and batshit.

The comments were totally inoffensive and were not inciting anything.

Whoever acted on the complaint and ordered the arrest should be thoroughly ashamed of themselves.

It's madness the police would get involved with any of those tweets.

I’ve just had a dip into BlueSky, and it seems a certain SEEN Police Official etc etc account (run by a TiM ex copper sacked for gross misconduct) knows a lot about the complaint against Glinner.

Quelle surprise.

Exactly. What a shit show.

I'm an LGB person and I can say with confidence that Graham has never said a word against LGB people. He's a great bloke.

Wouldn't that make @Christinapple the worst kind of hypocrite, though?

That is fucking sinister.

Women's rights are being destroyed, women's identities are being destroyed. Men are calling for women to be assaulted, decapitated, have their throats slit, raped, murdered and their houses burned down for basically being realists, understanding basic biology and wanting to keep themselves and their children safe.

A man who has fought hard for us and lost so much fighting hard for us is arrested and brought to the verge of a stroke because he made a few jokes.

This is the fucked up world we live in and have to bring to bring our children up in.

I hope Graham is ok. I am very grateful to him for everything he has done and continues to do to support us.

Oh well, if others are doing it, then it must be ok. 😕🙄

It really is.

No wonder confidence in the police is so low.

You see far worse against women at any trans march. You see far worse against Jews too.

Free speech does not belong to the far right. It used to be something that the left held dear. We’ve had several instances of those on the left making what you call “threats” not facing any repercussions for doing so. Do you agree that Ricky Jones should have been convicted or the numerous instances of trans activists making violent “threats” at trans demonstrations? Placards such as “decapitate terfs” or violent imagery including knives and guns? We really need to pull ourselves together in this country because our right to free speech is being slowly taken away and whilst at the moment it is largely those on the right being negatively impacted it will only take a change of government and a cultural shift for these same laws to be used against those of us on the left.

Are people arrested for it? Why not?

Even those committing a sexual offence in women's changing rooms? Hardly innocent bystanders.

I would like to say its unbelievable, but when pensioners are arrested under the Terrorism Act for wearing a T shirt...
It's disgusting and frightening. Solidarity with Graham.

He certainly didn't appear to warrant that sort of presence (I've never heard of him before so don't know exactly what he tweeted and comedians are known to push boundaries), but I note in the above article he said, "In a country where paedophiles escape sentencing, where knife crime is out of control, where women are assaulted and harassed every time they gather to speak", and that is certainly not true. May have happened on occasion but is certainly far from the norm.

On my very short 'acquaintance', I do not particularly like him but that police business is certainly over the top.

This is complete madness. Poor man. Who on earth directed that 5 officers with firearms go to get him? What was the rationale for that and I really hope his lawyers can find out.

did you also report all the "decapitate a TERF" and the "die in a grease fire" TRAs?

why not

He posts some questionable comments sometimes. But 5 police officers (presumably armed with a sidearm because Heathrow - so i have less issue with them being armed).

5 police officers. My mum was burgled and they just gave her a crime number. She's an elderly widow living alone. No police officers.

Stupid words? 5 fucking police officers.

TRAs are the absolute worst when it comes to hurty feelz, sod everyone else.

I used to be such a big fan of his 10 years ago, it’s sad to see what’s happened to him since then. I just hope he will leave all this behind him soon and get back to rebuilding his career.

I hope this makes it onto televised news, people need to be aware of this latest insanity.

Someone,.rightly or wrongly, made a decision to arrest him airside

That then means, airports being airports and Heathrow being Heathrow it wasn''t be done by a couple of coppers from Hounslow or Uxbridge police station, it was a task for the specialist airport police, who will be armed.

No idea why five but they do usually work as teams.
