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.

Graham's account of the arrest here

You can support his Substack here

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.
You can support Nick here (posted this morning Friday 5th September):

"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:"

I haven't watched any of the videos, or followed all the details, but isn't the phone thing - pushing a phone in someone's face to film them, then said person gets annoyed, grabs the phone and chucks it on the ground - simply a case of FAFO?

In another context similar behaviour is termed 'reactive abuse' - goad another person into reacting, then claim the be the victim.

Yeah it's definitely definitely be in the public interest...

I'm sure the met are assembling the firing squad as we speak.

I'm afraid I would just get mair Scots as I got into my stride, and end up asking Sir Mark if he hisnae an oonce.

Boring TRA pricks not only utterly annoying but also malicious fuckers.

DeanElderberry · 05/09/2025 20:28

otoh, why interrupt (or distract) your enemies when they're making yet another effortlessly stupid mistake?

GL has just stated in court that he thinks Tarquin is lying about his age.

I hope he is lying about his age because the prospect of a minor hanging out with those three creepy blokes is horrifying

SternJoyousBee · 05/09/2025 20:33

MyrtleLion · 05/09/2025 17:14

J has no questions, GL's evidence ends. He asks to go to the loo.
[we are not doing KH today]
J says next day of the trial will be 29 Oct - three witnesses Julie Bindel, Kate Harris and Fiona McEnena - 2 hours each.

Fiona and Julie will be great. I don’t know enough about Kate. Fiona is always impressive.

Scout2016 · 05/09/2025 20:38

I'm sure this has been covered already but I can't find it - if Graham gets any sort of conviction, will it cause him problems getting into / working in America?

The series is written and has gone for filming.
He can do later work remote

Rightsraptor · 05/09/2025 20:48

Kate Harris will be brilliant. I'm just sorry to hear she's leaving the UK. Another one gone 😔

I'd imagine The Donald might make an exception for Glinner if his residency in the US is uncertain after a conviction along these lines. Trump will see what a trumped-up (ha ha) case this is and it won't please him.

I think your FUCK OFFs are very effective!

(I was going to say well-timed, but then remembered one appeared immediately after one of my posts and I was like 'oooh' 😳🤣)

Allergictoironing · 05/09/2025 18:59

Any particular reason why the BBC keep using that frankly awful picture of @Glinner as their headline photo? It's like they've hunted for the weirdest looking recent one they could find.

It's a mystery.

musicalfrog · 05/09/2025 21:02

Can anyone please update me briefly on how he's been getting on the last couple of days? Or link me to a summary somewhere please? I've got a banging headache and can't read the last two threads, and I haven't been able to keep up with the tweets either.

I just want to know he's OK?

Charabanc · 05/09/2025 21:03

Largesso · 05/09/2025 19:17

I think it does him lots of favours. He is not dissembling. There is no sophistry. What you see is what you get and what you see is he has cause. None of this was unprovoked. He has been pushed beyond the point but is still willing to stand up for the rights of women and girls. I’m getting increasingly frustrated by the desire for him to somehow be neat. He is presenting his views honestly. that is to be admired. They are based on the reality of being harassed and abused by the likes of SN and LW for years.

And no fucking "I don't recall" bullshit!!

Boring TRA pricks not only utterly annoying but also malicious fuckers.

I am reminded of the Panorama investigation on Scientology

Edit: updated link

Charabanc · 05/09/2025 21:15

Upshot: This has been an absolute disaster for the fuckwit bully Lynsay Watson and his stooges. And the whole TRA movement. The whole country, and beyond, has gone - WTF?! Much sunlight has been shone.

Well done Lynsay. You certainly were right about FAFO! 👏

Worth a look and probably a share. A sort of potted history of Sophie, if it’s not already been seen.
edited to add picture but don’t seem to be able to in the edit function.

Charabanc · 05/09/2025 21:01

It's a mystery.

I met Glinner at an LWS
he oozes charisma ( see also Bill Clinton)
but due to the odd alignment of his eye sockets (possibly connected to the fate of his last child)
is not photogenic.

See also Andy Hamilton.

Genius is not physical

BettyBooper · 05/09/2025 21:37

Well this is weird.

Tarquin allegedly describing his translation to a journalist. (He's pretending to be a ftm detransitioner, in line with what he told MrMenno.)

Can't vouch for the validity of course.

I think this new footage may be very bad news for Tarquin.

Let’s hope so!

Evidence right here

https://archive.ph/xqJ78

So what exactly do you expect or want to happen as a result? If you think an arrest and potential remand in custody for breaching such ridiculous bail conditions is going to go well for the TRAs then I think you are mistaken. It will peak and outrage so very many people that you will regret it and it will backfire.

SternJoyousBee · 05/09/2025 21:51

Deafnotdumb · 05/09/2025 19:20

Whilst I admire Graham's words, it's also made him a prominent target. It sounds like he has no fucks left to give - and after the sustained bullying and harassment by the TRAs, who could blame him?

I would love a bright blinding spotlight on the bias of the police over this issue. In the meantime, I hope glinner finds a measure of peace and happiness in Arizona.

People like Tarquin, The Penguin, SJB, Fat Tony and the ex copper have tried and largely succeeded in destroying GLs life because he had the gall to speak out about women’s rights and protecting children. These men are the other men who ally themselves to them are evil.

I hope Glinner finds happiness and fulfilment with his new life and work in Arizona
