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...

@BettyBooper

Yes, that smug, self satisfied look as he uses his height & male presence to continue to film. Apparently he thinks he’s a woman, but you can see he has no regard or respect for the women trying to stop him filming.

He knows he’s not welcome, people are holding up paper/cards infront of him, he’s told he’ll need to leave. At no point does he miss a beat. He doesn’t look anxious, afraid, embarrassed - nothing. He looks triumphant.

Thing is Graham has enough brains to go about this properly. He has the moral highground. So all punching jokes should be kept out of it. There's no need. He has all the words.

Is 'alarmed and distressed' the paradigm shift 'stunning and brave'?

I see Brooks and Hayden bestie 'katybops' is trying to get TwiX users to use she/her pronouns for SB.

Not. Gonna. Happen.

Looks like he is trying to intimidate and bully the women there, from that vid. Going up to each one during the conference, and shoving the phone in their faces. Despite them obviously trying to block it. Is that not harassment? He seems more to be the one who is trying to cause alarm and distress. Targeting the women specifically too, the coward. I’d imagine it would have gone into physical altercations if he went and did it to men his own size.

I just see the nasty expression of a bully. Picking on women and getting away with his bullying.

The thing is, if you watch that video of Tarquin...

Imagine if he pulled that same stunt in the women's toilets. What if he'd followed some of the women in there declaring that he had every right to do so?

These men are completely about harassing and intimidating women.

I don't think I would be joking about punching in the balls in that situation.

SB well TWAM means Trans Women Are Men and only people in the know knows what TWAM

Like the Supreme Court.

It's a secret, remember?!

Only people in the know know that trans woman are men! 😬😬😬

Proceedings about to start.

[Back in court waiting for the judge] [SB is in the witness box waiting to continue being cross-examined by SV]

So SV is Sarah Vine KC for the Defence who is @Glinner - Graham Linehan - or L as I am calling him today. SB is Sophia Brooks, who is the complainant in this case. SB is male, but identifies as a woman. His counsel is using she/her pronouns. SV has said L will use he/him...

And I think SV said she will use sex-based pronouns, though I may have misheard a "Ms Brooks" at one point

i am using "SB" or sex-based pronouns, unless I am quoting someone calling SB she. The judge at the beginning of the trial said there would be no policing of language.

And PLEASE NOTE - everything I write is a summary or a characterisation of what is happening and/or being said. NOTHING IS A DIRECT QUOTE unless it is in "direct quotes". Judge is in court.

[SV is on her feet xe-ing SB]
SV So Ms Brooks you were telling us about dog-whistles and you were giving some egs of dws
SB yes
[SV takes him to an image of SB wearing a green white and violet scarf]
SV is that a dog-whistle
SB no
SV no it's associated with the suffragette...

... movement.
SV and has been adopted by GC feminists
SB maybe
SV this flag is used by Let Women Speak
SB no it's a suffragette flag
SV where there any suffragettes there campaigning for the right to vote
SB no
SV so can you please stop pretending you don't know what the colours

Is SB sitting down to hide his enormous man build and look fragile?

SV represent [SV takes him to a photo of him wearing an purple white and green scarf - SB eventually accepts he wanted to be among a GC women to supply information to internet bloggers without being "attacked"]

SV what info did you want to supply
SB details of further meetings
SV why
SB I wanted details of their meet ups to supply to thers - Freda Wallace and Alan Driscoll
SV because they like GC meetings
SB no, they report on them
SV so it wasn't done for the purposes of...

.. lulling them into the idea of being a GC support
SB no - why would I
SV so they give info to you they wouldn't give to a TRA
SB accepts
SV most people at these events are women
SB yes
SV so you're putting women at ease so you can learn their plans in advance
SB potentially

SV information they don't want known
SB potentially
SV so their protests could be disrupted
SVt disrupts a protest
SV there are different types of protest
SV you took photos of these people
SB they were consipiring - I'm allowed to take photos in a public place

SV not saying you're not - just wondering what you thought they were conspiring to do
SB to influence people
SV so perfectly innocent perspectives
SB yes
SV why did you want images of these women
SB to share with internet bloggers
SV so they knew who to target
SB no

(I no longer have to go out so will continue adding Nick Wallis's reporting)

Am I right in remembering that Nick Wallis isn’t able to tweet this afternoon?

The Telegraph and Daily Mail have journos summarising, but it isn’t the same.

It is getting amazing publicity; hopefully enlightening to the people who think TW are all marginalised and oppressed!

Thank you!!!

SV want to move away from this to ask about your awareness of the tweets you are complaining about. Did you see something from L before the battle of ideas
SB no - I was asked to attend by Freda Wallace (FW)
SV so you saw nothing before 11 Oct
SB believe so, yes

SV and you didn't follow L on X
SB no
SV did you follow Seen Police UK
SB yes
SV cos you were a volunteer police cadet at the time
SB yes
SV and SEEN is run by Lynsay Watson
SB yes
SB and he's been in touch with you

SB not very often
SV that's a yes
SB yes
SV did he alert you to L's tweets?
SB no
SV did the SEEN account alert you to L's tweets
SB no
SV did you have any contact with Lynsay after 11 Oct last year
SB can't remember

BOOM!

BOOM!

SV said you don't have contact often - you'd remember it
SB it's not a v memorable thing
[SV raises a tweet from the SEEN account drawing attention to L's tweets]
SV the police told you they were not going to pursue a complaint against L
SB don't remember - there were lots of...

... complaints.
SV you don't remember writing to the police demanding the charges are reinstated with reasons why or you will threaten Judicial Review
SB I don't remember it was 11 months ago
SV we have documentation showing you did
SB okay
SV so you did
SB yes

Thank you for such beautiful bigly letters!

👍😁

Wow what a slippery witness!

SV Lynsay Watson is a TRA
SB can't speak for him
SV Lynsay Watson said you could end up like Brianna Ghey - would that not concern you
SB yes
SV what would you do about it
SB nothing I can do about it
SV how about contacting the police?

SV are you certain you had no contact with LW before you contacted the police
SB I can't remember it was 11 months ago
SV do you remember contacting the police's victim focus desk to complain about L chucking the phone
SB yes
SV and you told them you were collating evidence...
