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...

'I don't remember' doesn't carry much weight in the age of Internet receipts.

Glinner's KC isn't taking any prisoners.

God, these people.

It sometimes takes something of a paradigm shift for those not acquainted with the issues to see them.

But letting TRAs ramble on in court usually nails it immediately.

When the scales fall, everything changes.

Did SB really say "him" when referring to Lynsay Watson?

Sad times.

Erm, I'm not the best at following these things and am off my face on migraine meds but can someone please confirm that Tarquin is not the sharpest knife in the top drawer?
There is thunder here, having literal booms, expecting a smiting, all very gothic.

... about a complaint about stalking
SB yes
SV and you were not in contact with LW
SB I have told you multiple times I don't remember. It's impossible to get water out of a stone
SV how frightened were you about the risks and harms coming to you from L's tweets?
SB I don't...

... remember.
SV did you know if L was going to be a speaker at the Battle of Ideas?
SB no
SV and you say you were alarmed and distressed by his behaviour
SB yes

It's hard to defend going into a lesbian meeting, complaining that it's not really a lesbian meeting, and that you're not homophobic, when you're holding up a phone in their faces, and you don't believe in lesbianism in the first place.

It feels like SV is building to something

No, no, he's really clever - going to study medicine at an RG uni.

At least he identifies as someone clever going to study medicine at an RG uni ...

It's impossible to get water out of a stone to SV is a bit rude isn't it? She's just doing her job. He might as well say no comment, as he totally does remember.

SV so we'll see that alarm and distress in the video you shot
[SV asks to see the second video shown earlier today which SB shot at the Battle of Ideas in selfie mode. Of course there are tech problems.]

I wish she would ask him what he thinks a lesbian is. The horns of that dilemma will be very pointy.

Oh god, another Upton who doesn't know what biological sex is.

Will no one rid us of these turbulent doctors?

[Here we go. It is dark outside. SB shoots alongside L - L calls him a scumbag and incel, SB calls L an incel as he's divorced. He looks v pleased with himself] SV you are pleased with yourself there aren't you
SB yes
SV you're enjoying yourself
SB no
SV you weren't alarmed

.. or distressed
SB I was
SV why were you concerned about being called a "domestic terrorist"
SB someone a vigilante might beat me up or stab me in the street.
SV what does nonce mean
SB paeodphile
SV how many X accounts did you have in Oct last year

No, I believe he's just saying that to harrass someone online.

SB I don't remember
SV a number
SB I really don't remember [SV names one]
SB yes [SV names two more]
SB yes [Judge is amused by the X name "Beans Wit Pasties"]
SV you used your accounts to make allegations people were nonces, didn't you

I think Tarquin is starting to regret his life choices...

I wish this was televised.

I doubt the judge is going to be impressed by how slippery he is!

BOOM

Ah ok, I knew about the harassment but wasn't sure if he genuinely was enrolling on the same programme or not, I sincerely hope not.

Medical tutor. 'Where are the islets of Langerhans'

SB . 'I don't remember'

SB I don't remember
SV let me help you
[SV gives him a printed photo of a tweet from one of his accounts Sophie [with trans hearts]]
SV there are screenshots which show you on 23 Nov you called someone a "fucking weirdo nonce"
SB confirms

[SV reads out another tweet in which one of SB's sock accounts accuses Thames Pilgrim of obsessing over 16yo girls (SB confirms he means SB)]

SV how frightened were you about the risks and harms coming to you from L's tweets?

SB I don't...
... remember.

That doesn't look good, does it? As that is one of his reasons for bringing the complaint. But now he doesn't remember?

I’d be seriously worried about a doctor whose memory was so poor they couldn’t remember writing to the police threatening a judicial review less than a year ago. I mean it’s not something teenagers do frequently is it?

Given his display of thinking on his feet here, I can't see him scoring highly in the UCAT.
