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...

Here's the clip from the Telegraph live reporting - ignore the big subscribe banner, the clip should play.

Nothing says 'nothing here to see' like masked men.

If they just show that clip without context, ie previous interaction that is not going to do Glinner any favours.

I agree too.

I don’t condone what he said - it’s too close to the wire for me but there is a clear difference in the way he is being treated vs some of the trans activists posts.

Unfortunately I think he’s played into their hands here and it makes GC people look bad.

But we aren’t all the same and it’s not surprising there is a range of opinion and behaviours.

The women behave impeccably because, let's face it, they've very little choice in the matter. TRAs go after men less frequently, I'm sure, because some men would give them a good hiding.

Can you imagine SB turning up at a football match and sticking his phone in any bloke's face like he did to the women at that conference? 🤣

I do agree that they've pulled a blinder with the victim card.

It's part of the live reporting, but that's nowehere near the depth of Nick Wallis's live Tweeting.

Yep- and can you imagine a lone woman turning up to a TRA event and trying the same? She'd be in genuine physical danger.

Yes they have pulled a blinder - I'm worrying that tomorrow is going to be extremely uncomfortable. But I'm also trying to remember that women are NOT responsible for worrying about what men do.... even when it's a man we agree with. It's Glinner's own responsibility to keep his shit together, and I shouldn't think he'd deny that.

That clip does look bad. Well we’ll have to wait and see what the judge thinks.

I wasn't really commenting on the reporting, but just should it be the only footage shown in court it would not help Glinner at all.

Maybe he should wear one of those heart monitors to show the impact on these TRAs have over the period of time it has been going on.

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

Yeah right!

Just referring back to earlier comments about police procedure re when to arrest etc., this article is quite interesting. Written by a former Detective Chief Inspector in the Metropolitan Police.

Funny how SB doesn't want cameras in the face after doing the same to numerous women.

Ironic isn’t it, he’s the one that got Glinner dragged to court and yet he hides behind masked men and umbrellas and Glinner walks out to applause. Says it all really.

That's my understanding.

I do wonder if, instead of a TRA, it was a 'thug' who was repeatedly putting his phone in the face of women at Ascot (say) and a bloke there eventually lamped him, the reporting might be different? 🤔

I know, crap analogy, but I think the 'these men are victims ' mentality continues, even when they are where they shouldn't be, even when they are actively intimidating women and even when they provoke it.

Given the police will do nothing, these men absolutely will continue until they get a reaction.

And I don't believe they'll stop even if people play nice. It's a very dangerous situation.

I heard her at the LSE talk a few months ago along with Akua Reindorf, BC and NC. She's absolute bloody nails.

The actual state of these idiots, how the heck did we get here?

Bunch of big brick shithouse build men there!

"Dignity" ha that's a laugh!

And thank you SabrinaThwaite for c&p the live tweets today!

Having a whole posse of masked minders doesn’t exactly scream ‘alarmed and distressed’ does it? Absolutely love your username @MeinKraft is it a Motherland reference?

Well the comparison between the greeting to Glinner leaving court and SB leaving court is marked. If you judge someone by their friends I know whose pal is want to be.

So delicate and womanly, aren't they.

Haha yes. ‘Hitler didn’t write it!’

Apologies to IwanttoRetire but the link went to a Telegraph article.

The author literally figuratively genocides the NBs! Mentions the boys and girls in blue but nothing about the poor little they/thems. Good points about them trying to pass the buck to politicians. Also that the decision to arrest a relatively high profile figure would likely have gone up the police hierarchy. I hope more information comes out about that.

I've seen nothing much about the College of Policing, of whom I know little except Harry Miller lays a lot of this at their door.

I've also had a sneaking feeling that five coppers showed up because they had nothing better to do and they wanted to fan girl/boy/them at Glinner. Although if so they must have quickly decided it wasn't a good time to ask for an autograph or a selfie.

All puffed up with their (male plural) own importance. Foul people.

What a clown show.
I see the naked bobble hat model was a member of the circus.
Asking for dignity towards the end...... lmao :)

😂😂 that is probably my favourite line from Motherland!
