Graham Linehan arrested on arrival at Heathrow Part 3

[IDareSay]

These threads are currently being used to follow the case that is taking place at Westminster Magistrate's Court over the 4th and 5th September, but will also be following the subsequent fallout of Graham's arrest at Heathrow on his return to the UK for this court case earlier this week.

He is currently on trial for alleged harassment of a trans identified male and criminal damage to the man's phone. The charges stem from a series of events in October 2024 at Battle of Ideas.

Free Speech Union are running a fundraiser to support a claim against the Met in reference to the Heathrow arrest. Just search FSU and Graham Linehan fundraiser and it should be easy to find. Currently reached 93% of its target.

Most of the mainstream media have reported on the case, but none have covered it as well as Nick Wallis. Follow him on X for live posting from the court.

"I am deeply grateful to everyone who has seen fit to bung me the cost of a coffee, a pint or even a bloody London pint since I found out I was able to come back today. If you think you can afford to make a small donation, there’s more info here:"

Agree - it all feels rather messy and under-rehearsed. I'd have hoped Glinner's lawyer would have run such scenarios with him and coached him on how to respond and not rise to the bait.

But maybe I have watched too many American courtroom dramas and that's just not a luxury they have, due to time and budget.

GL comes back and Judge tells him that's that for now and he needs to come back on 29 Oct]

I've only heard KH speak on KJK's video today, never Fiona, and am thoroughly looking forward to Julie.

Here's another one for your mates, @VaddaABeetch !

Thanks, @MyrtleLion , much appreciated.

I know, it's like having your unPC unpredictable uncle around shouting 'what's all this shite about' and calling a spade a spade. He's refreshingly honest (and correct!!) but I feel for him as he must be under so much strain. In fairness, I'd be the exact same if I'd been through what he's been through.

You can imagine, bunch of Dublin men about same age as Glinner.

when I started radicalising them I’d show a pic & say would you go out with my mate

And this is Glinner emerging from court.

The fucking size of him!

You'd be able to tell he's a bloke from miles off!

In one of those vide, he was complaining about one of the women touching him when they put a hand on his back to encourage him to leave. As he was in all the women’s faces taking photos. Then one of the women put her hand up between her and his camera (as he was shoving it towards her, and he grabbed her hand to move it.

From what I’ve seen, he appears to have a fixation on intimidating and bullying women. Personally, from how I’ve seen him acting around women,. I would be worried that he is potentially a very dangerous man where women are concerned. If he is like that where there are many people around, I would be very worried about how he might act toward women when there aren’t many people around

It's great that it is apparent from Graham's quotes that 'Sophia' is a man.

Not sure you meant to quote me!

But from your description, I'm surprised they needed radicalising? Still, have fun escorting them up the mountain to sunlight.

In other news, Baroness Nicholson has written one of her glorious letters, admonishing Sir Mark Rowley.

Please do link, I love a good letter from the Baroness. As said before, I'd definitely buy a book of her collected epistles.

I am going to the loo!!!

And the wonderful thing is that the odious Lynsay Watson managing to get Glinner arrested, has caused the whole country to pay attention and many of them to support him!

Like you said, Lynsay - # FAFO

Oh me too! Can you imagine it done with illustrations round the edges, like the Country Diary of an Edwardian Lady? Or something by Shirley Hughes?

My goodness! The BBC is giving a glimpse into what Graham has been put through and the pronouns issue. Btw who 'affirms' a gender name?

GL has violated his bail condition.

He deleted last night's tweet today but it has been archived as evidence and a report has been made to the Met.

All thanks to Lynsay Watson for drumming up all this support and attention for Glinner!! 👏

That was a lovely palate cleanser!

@glinner that must have been a difficult day for you, but well done and thank you!

As a women, I think it would be fitting to shout ‘I’m alarmed and distressed’ when that bloke was anywhere in the vicinity. It is very alarming, and worrying in the way he tries to intimidate women. He is not quite so intimidatory in the way he acts with men. He was shoving his finger right in the face of one of the women in the vids. He wasn’t as physical with the security guards. He even did a little pirouette when leaving in order to keep taking photos when he was backing out the door. A nasty, bullying coward.

I would feel so upset if he was my son. Imagine that is what your child ended up as. Of course, now they don’t treat other psychological co-morbidities when men say they’re women. It would be failing actual women to not take some of these guys off the streets. Some of them might be very dangerous to women.
