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...

This might be where the two parties decide to differ, with a bit of luck or they'll divide votes.

We need a party that has some clear understanding of biology and free speech.

What worried me was how timely this was with Vance's shouting out that UK has lost free speech in order to push their agenda on social media. I hope we don't have rogue cops on the macho/trad wife brigade going enthusiastically rogue with armed cops to prove a point...

They could have issued an international arrest warrant and requested arrest in the US and extradition.

Extradition usually is done only for more serious crimes so what Glinner is charged with her matters.

They didn't. So either they didn't think it was a serious enough crime, they made a (purely political) decision not to pursue it (because they knew it would be refused / would likely blow up in their faces) or because thought they could only do it in the UK.

Why do we think that was?

I cant find the Telegraph article from yesterday (they have at least 10 now) but it spelt out the court case due to start tomorrow.

Wont say what I remember it to be about, as dont want to say something unhelpful as this stage.

I wonder if other will tweet for him tomorrow on how the court case goes.

Or is it yet another preliminary hearing?

Or worse still that Musk will start shouting about it.

About tomorrow. From the BBC so presumably not breeching any legal lines:

Thank you! Is this the person whose complaint caused Met Police to send 5 armed officers to arrest GL?

I don't think there's any reason to think some special efforts were made to faciliate the arrest...

GL was on an American Airlines flight so hard to see the Met having clout to bump him off that onto a preferable one, though I guess not impossible.

Further anyone arrested airside at most airports, certainly at LHR, will be confronted with armed police since the unit that is based at and covers the airport is an armed one (due terrorist threat to airports, etc).

There would certainly be no need for extra time being needed to organise a team for GL's flight, they are available pretty much instantly, often seen walking/driving around the airport on any normal day.

The one question still worth asking is exactly who ordered arrest at the aircraft side...what followed at Heathrow was a consequence of that single decision.

Glinner seems to think so...

Fucking hell, the Guardian has become a cess-pit. They’ve sold their soul to the trans devil.

I started to listen to the audio and had to stop, such was the distress I could hear in Graham’s voice. It was too painful to listen to.

Haven't seen that indicated any where, so not sure anyone should post that just prior to the actual court hearing!

Now wonder when they bothered to check that his heart rate was all over the place.

The court hearing tomorrow is about an ENTIRELY different matter.

Tarquin and Lindsay are not the same person.

Exactly. I posted the link to the BBC report of tomorrow's case.

Has this been posted?

Zack Polanski: Linehan arrest was ‘proportionate’
See https://archive.is/kCO6X from https://www.spectator.co.uk/article/zack-polanski-linehan-arrest-was-proportionate/

I too would like to know who ordered the arrest. Because those cops wouldn't have turned up to meet that person off that flight randomly, someone told them to intercept and arrest GL.

Yet another one...

'Sophia Brooks' aka Tarquin is at least 6 foot tall.
Presumably he will have to appear in court tomorrow
and due to the Heathrow stuff there should be a good press pack.

Fun fun

I've only heard snippets today so forgive me if I'm confused. I firstly heard a statement from Mark Rowley Met Police Commissioner along the lines 'The police force should not be undertaking the policing of nasty tweets and I explore the Government to sort out the law. ' next I hear Starmer 'The police should prioritise policing of serious crime, we need to protect free speech blah blah'. So who the fuck is running the country??? Neither the Government nor the Metropolitan police can justify the treatment and arrest so why the hell is it happening?

Omnicause🤣🤣🤣 very good!

Exactly. This is on Starmer. It’s absolutely the gov who sets the laws on this.

No-one is running the country but the tras have the police in their pockets. In future they may just have to make that a bit less obvious and I imagine whoever ordered the arrest at Heathrow may find themselves with at best a poor performance review and perhaps whatever the Met equivalent of Siberia is.

To add to previous post. I'm not aware of any issues with the law around inciting violence. It should be illegal to i.e. tell a yob in front of a synagogue to burn it down.

The law doesn't need to be changed, the law enforcers do. They've got fewer brain cells than a goldfish. I'd say "dead goldfish" if that didn't risk wrongful arrest. So here's a healthy representation of a fish that doesn't know it's in water.

I wonder if anyone will start an online petition to replace Sir Goldfish. Hint hint No London woman (sans penis) has confidence in Chief of the Met.

Tell Glinner that then. He hinted it hard on the last thread, which is where I got it from! 😆

If male toilets are so violent, could we get some armed police to guard them do you think? Like 5 per loo?😁

Normally you'd think going from boob expanding hypnotherapist to political party leader would be an amazing ascent and a sign of personal and professional growth, but then you realise it's the fucking Greens.

Fun fact: last night, a windbag told me that the tsunami of violent threats from TRAs existed only in my head, and that people still take the Greens seriously.
