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...

SB calls it all part of a tit for tat exchange which never ends.

Dropped himself in it here hasn’t he?

[there has been a police witness sitting in court all day. poor bloke. wonder what he's thinking]

This maybe?

It is TRAs seeking out GC events to relentlessly harass people and not GC activists protesting at trans events. People in the the UK are so used to activist knobheads invading and disrupting talks, concerts and even harassing people at supermarkets that this distinction is hardly noted.

Oops.

[J asks about the "you will pay I will never lose" conversation]
J how did it get in the public domain
SB twitter now known as X had a thing called Spaces - so if you recorded it it immediately gets published
J did you know it would be made public
SB not at the time

Liar, liar pants on fire.

How are they going to fit everyone in tomorrow?

Absolutely - cos he addressed it to 'all the TERFs'

🙁

Ah, I got you, but I did have to read your post twice. It's a fast moving thread and there are a lot of poppers. 😒
🌻

SV so when you said about the TERFs being too scared - why say it
SB in jest
SV but still why say it
SB I knew it would be made public, but only many months down the line

[SB's evidence ends - he is taken out]

[J now having case management discussion]

[J Suggesting case might be part-head as it might not finish tomorrow]

Well tomorrow it'll be all over the papers and lots of people will read it and go

"Trans activists are just more of those knobheads like them eco twats. I support green stuff but they are bellends and wind me up so much I almost want to put my heating on full blast just to spite them. I support trans people too, but god these dickhead make me want to scream and write to my boss about protecting ss spaces just to spite them".

Cos that's how the Law of Bellends works.

[J asks GL to stand up and tells him he needs to abide by his bail and turn up tomorrow ("which I'm sure you will") or he might be arrested - and if he doesn't turn up the trial might well continue without him] [The third day of this trial - if they don't finish on time...

So....

J did you know it would be made public
SB not at the time

And...

SV but still why say it
SB I knew it would be made public, but only many months down the line

🤔

... tomorrow looks like it won't be for another five weeks] [Everyone leaves]

I see the BBC are busy chewing at the proverbial wrong end of the stick reporting today's proceedings:

Sterling work, @SabrinaThwaite , thank you.

Reminder from first thing this morning:

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.

My cut and paste skills know no bounds ...

Yes, thank you @SabrinaThwaite great work.

Vibes of the Sandy Peggie case that's still rumbling on despite starting in February.

That's unbiased reporting?!

Yeah, they really have no idea what's actually going on do they?

Point spectularly missed, I imagine the Guardian will do the same.

Don't worry, it's fine, I've lurked through a lot and have read enough here to see how misunderstandings happen, and how they are resolved. I usually type posts and delete them before posting but Tarquin is something else! At the same time as being something really quite mundane.
