Graham Linehan arrested on arrival at Heathrow Part 4

[IDareSay]

These threads have mostly been used to follow the case that has taken place at Westminster Magistrate's Court over the 4th and 5th September, (and will continue on the 29th October), but were created to follow the fallout of Graham's arrest at Heathrow on his return to the UK for this court case last week, and what is allegedly a conspiracy of TRAs to intimidate and harass a number of people, including Graham, with the alleged support of various police services.

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. At the time of posting it has reached 64% of its stretch target.
The FSU have managed to get the bail condition that @Glinner must not post on X removed, so he is now freely posting on there again.

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 again on 29th October.
You can support Nick here (posted 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 think it was in reference to ‘solicitor’ Sarah Phillimore and We Are Fair Cop.

My mistake - I'm surprised SP finds the time to do any solicitor-ing

Crikey, that's rather difficult to believe.

Personally, because misogyny is not a hate crime, I think they're absolutely grabbing hold of that with both hands. Well, one hand.

Thanks for sharing this. I hadn’t listened before but I will again. I knew Matt d’Ancona was GC but hearing his strong defence of Glinner was quite cathartic.

Say what you will about him, two things he's got in spades are passion and energy.

There's an old gag about Northern Ireland mums who want their DC to grow up speaking proper.

Child: Ma, the yo has lambed

Mum: It's not "yo", it's "ewe".

Child: No, not me ma, the yo

In Devon, it’s a ‘yaw’ or ‘yowl’.

I'm sorry Asking, that's gone right over my head. I don't understand what you mean?

@AskingQuestionsAllTheTime is questioning whether the person who huffed and moved was that mythical creature, a man who "passes" as a woman.

Especially Mark Big'at Rowley and the College of Policing.

GL is on GB News

Wonder if he saw Loose Women today

He'll come back for the end of October
I am utterly sure of it.
Because by then the worm will have turned a lot further.

Why wouldn't he come back? He'll get massive amounts of attention and support.

And if he did abscond, that would be a whole different legal ballgame.

Not if he's applied for refugee status. He'll get coverage enough from that.

Excellent article, thanks.

I was particularly pleased to see the use of 'wazzock' as sometimes I feel that I am waging a one woman campaign to reintroduce this brilliant word to the wild, and it's good to see it out there.

I recently discovered "walloper". I like it. I think it's Scottish.

Ooh I like that too.

Stella O'Malley in Spiked on the silence in the Irish media on Glinner's arrest

Just read that. My God that is appalling and so sinister. And HOW can you have a crime recorded against you and NOT KNOW about it? ( and therefore have no way of defending yourself against it? )

Thats exactly whats happening with facial recognition re shoplifting. Ppl having their names on a blacklist without knowing about it. Ppl who have never shoplifted in their lives. But plenty on MN think its an ok price to pay to catch shoplifters, To have innocent ppl as collateral damage, I believe "two tier" is the phrase.

He already has a work visa and can live in Ireland.
He's not a refugee. That is his hot temper speaking.

Not returning in October would be spun badly against him.
Better to make sure that Watson is exposed between now and then.

The institutional capture of a number of police forces by a small number of TiMs, that have in turn wreaked havoc on the lives of women that have tried to stand up to them but have been hamstrung by those same police forces, is a massive scandal that needs to be told.

referring to oneself in the third person is never a good sign is it?

I know the thread has moved on quite a bit but can anybody explain ranty person's post? Or is this just proof of their spiralling insanity?

Phillimore shares responsibility for every tweet by WeAreFairCop and Harry Miller under the joint liability principle too.
