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...

SV whatever damage done to your phone was not the result of what L did
SB no - I changed phone case earlier that day and it was in pristine condition
SV so you checked
SB no I just saw it
SV and saw those little marks
SB L did the damage

Ok, let's Graham's charged. Let's assume it's fair for the sake of arguments - and its up to a court to decide the outcome.

Now how about the guy in the dock who has just admitted under oath that he stalked Glinner, went to a conference he didn't like to film those there so it could be put online and then said 'she was rude online so it was fair game to issue threats'?

If we are going to be equal about things here, do we think the guy in the dock who has admitted all these things should also be charged?

I mean that's what justice should be about right? Treating everyone equally.

One of the big problems about the whole saga is precisely the fact that the Met have done precisely fuck all to deal with TRAs who behave like this. Time and time again.

SV the temperature in this debate is high
SB depends who you are
SV someone who wishes acid to be thrown on a woman is quite high up the scale
SB couldn't really say
SV GL is a well-known GC campaigner
SB yes
SV so he would be a massive scalp for you
SV if you say so

Tarquin: people don’t usually take photos with their phones

Rest of humanity: Eh?

Its bog standard bullying, keep prodding until you get a reaction so you can blame the person who you are picking on, oh and get some content for Brownie points so you can point and say "It wasn't me, look at the awful bigotty bigots"

SV so when the police discontinued legal action you threatened them because you wanted his scalp
SB no
SV Where did you get the phrase alarm and distress from
SB I felt alarm and distress
SV they are the terms in the Harassment Act
SB coincidence

So it was targeted filming.

"Oh but I filmed the two security guards too"

Ok then that alright then.

Sp Tarquin doesn't think wishing for someone to have acid thrown at them is high up the scale? Where does his scale stop, murder?

It's quite unsettling, isn't it? He doesn't seem to have any insight into how badly he comes across. Or he doesn't care.

JFW (Prosecuting - P) re-examining SB

P would you get kudos from getting GL convicted
SB I'd get a lot of abuse
P were you telling the truth when you said you were alarmed and distressed
SB yes

He knows his acolytes and mentors will be whisking him off to the pub to congratulate him in his performance.

Tarquin was at a conference he didn't need to attend.

Why was GL presence at the conference bullying Tarquin personally?

It's a democracy. We are allowed to talk about things other people don't like without being targeted and harassed.

SV Where did you get the phrase alarm and distress from
SB I felt alarm and distress
SV they are the terms in the Harassment Act
SB coincidence

Spot on question, thank you SV

P you were asked if you photographed anyone famous
[sorry I missed this q - his answer was he couldn't remember and hadn't checked the photos since he took them] [P mentions Andy Ngo]
P did you photo him
SB yes

What a fecking waste of resources!

I think that might have meant to say people don't usually take photos of their phones. In response to SV asking if there was a photo of the undamaged phone

SB he uses this language all the time - day in... it's typical of him.
SV and so not threatening
SB it's language other people might find threatening

So has admitted that he didn't actually find GL threatening after all.

You have misread me, Tarquin is the bully.

[P goes back to the "fucking weirdo nonce" message - screenshots from Thames Pilgrim - Guy Robinson]
P what was that in response to
SB Mr Robinson making reference to me as a "teenage sidekick"
P bad language either way perhaps
SB can I add to that - Mr R reported me to the...

... police and I was arrested. After that there was NFA after it had became clear he'd lied about an ambulance attending his house sending pizzas to his house. [exact quote "there were no malicious pizza orders"]

Aye, he manages to remember fine when he's in denial of the truth.

I apologise.

It will be interesting to see the newspaper's write up on this one!

'How to polish a turd, Guardian style.'

SV Where did you get the phrase alarm and distress from
SB I felt alarm and distress
SV they are the terms in the Harassment Act
SB coincidence

Just saying...

Christ, Brooks is deeply unpleasant and evasive as hell.

Though i do think Brooks has been manipulated by much older people and now faces the consequences while the others shitpost on twitter/blue-sky.

Accepted
But I am reminded of why I have spent much time reading here and not posting, I have little energy these days and have spent enough time in the past elsewhere explaining myself when misread so I may just resume the lurking.

P asks about the MM confrontation and gets SB to explain that his claim of MM lying about her assault was because he believed she had also lied about his assault. SB calls it all part of a tit for tat exchange which never ends.
