Graham Linehan arrested on arrival at Heathrow Part 2

[IDareSay]

First thread here

Started thread 2 as this seems destined to run for some time...

This must be another argument for reorganising the Police. No one used an ounce of common sense. Even if they wanted a word about the wording of the Tweet. No Inspector challenged a senior officer and said:

"Hang on a minute" Do we really want a big show and to feature in the papers. Do we want to put a Very Senior Officer on TV, even if we are right?

We need a properly trained Officer Corps not just keep promoting from the Sargentocracy.

I hope this backfires.

Bloody hell this guy needs to step down surely.

If there’s one thing better than your own plan coming together, it’s when your opponents plan comes together, trips them over and boots them in the arse.

🤣🤣🤣

I know they're all about men's rights and are still very keen to throw women under the bus, but even just a look at the general way he conducts himself should tell them he's not suitable to be an MP or represent their party.

If these clowns are to be believed, getting Glinner arrested has been preplanned by a group of TiMs.

🤣

These guys! Send them a tenner for the bunnies!

ANTI-SLAPP legislation calls are going to get louder to beat the Happy SLAPPers

I've just realised, as well as having no props, he fluffed the line too. I pity the fool.

don’t they realise, as they grin from ear to ear, claiming this as a victory, that it’s a gigantic own goal?

I’m guessing that revolting male would include us in that horrendous tweet. So why do we get abuse and threats from politicians and they get off scot free.

Whilst others get arrested. Honestly I’d vote the whole thing down if I could.

A properly trained Officer Corp. Recruited from the groves of academe. No thanks. An old sergeant with a bit of cop on is worth 8000 Commissioners I reckon.

They’re not the sharpest tools in the box, are they?

This mastermind is involved?

Nick Wallis (journo, exposed the Post Office scandal) is Tweeting from Westminster Magistrates Court.

@NickWallis

Linehan has confirmed his name and DOB. Court is discussing a bit of trial management atmo. This is going to be a two day trial with two witnesses for the prosecution (the complainant) and a police officer and five for the defence - three of whom can only appear tomorrow.

Judge has risen for 20 mins so CPS barrister can talk to the complainant. Sarah Vine KC is representing Linehan.

Anya Palmer is sitting on one of the rear benches. Linehan has now been told he can leave the dock and sit in court. Whether he'll have to go back in when the judge returns is not clear.

The public gallery is dotted with GC activists and a few people who look like they might be supporting the complainant (Sophia Brooks). Looks like the @Telegraph is live-blogging this

The ‘It’s a Fair Cop’ type (Alfie Moore?).

So <checks notes> - a TRA gets Glinner arrested to ensure that he is unable to tweet about the upcoming court case. Resultant publicity ensures that the court case is tweeted live by journos.

What a spectacular own goal.

I dunno. He's currently going after Sarah Phillimore using the GLP isn't he?

They are so practised at bringing these claims and everyone worshiping unquestioningly at their feet that it would not surprise me at all if there had been a plan.

Thanks @SabrinaThwaite

I’ll try and keep adding. There’s a problem with remote access or something.
