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.

"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:"

This is why I would like to know where the “crimes” are being recorded. It would be a big deal if it was on PNC.

Absolutely.

It is absolutely hilarious that a self described “Lawyer” is being preciously snide and furious protesting whether G Gluck is a ‘journalist’.

😳🤣😜

Self described lawyer and woman.

Words meaning things not a strong point, clearly.

We definitely had one on here who was a couple buttons short of a dress uniform. Well he claimed to be an officer anyway. People say all kinds of things on the Internet

“Couple of buttons short of a dress uniform” that is truly excellent and I shall steal it, if you don’t mind 🤣

We've had a lot of people on this board who are, incredibly conveniently, whatever would best serve their agenda. You'd be amazed how many "intersex" people are on here, claiming to be neither male nor female, and believing that this makes their case for knobs out in the ladies' far more convincing. When you consider how rare DSDs are, it's incredible that so many people with them choose to come here. Once I asked one of them what DSD they had, explaining that DSDs are sex specific, so if they truly did not know what sex they are, we could help them. They accused me of stalking them, being obsessed with genitals (obviously) insisted once again that they were not male or female and flounced. I suppose they could have been an amoeba. It would explain a lot.

Interestingly, we do also have a couple of people with Swyer's syndrome and they don't mind mentioning it and aren't confused about being female.

Maybe they were a clownfish 🐠

Or just a 🤡

😂

A spent conviction can be published. It doesn’t have to be disclosed by the offender for example in a job application, but it still happened, and other people are free to point that out.

Perfection <chef's kiss>

Good - thanks for that.

Also good to know that people that have committed ‘moral terpitude’ are a bit fucked when it comes to entry to the US.

IANAL It matters what any hypothetical convicted sex offender is up to.

It is clearly in the public interest to let people know if, for example, a convicted sex offender is hanging around with teenagers. Even if that conviction is "spent".

Or campaigning for anything that might make certain sex offences easier as you could wonder if they had another motive.

It is less obviously reasonable (although I suspect still legal) if this was a convicted sex offender with a YouTube gardening channel.

Yep.

I had a malicious complaint against me and I was arrested (on suspicion of sending an email in the UK while I was in South America and the laptop I was accused of using was in the USA).

I can't remember the exact details but I got a copy of the report. It had my accent wrong and some other details that I asked them to correct, they did correct it but they could refuse.

How can a non-crime hate incident be recorded as a crime? The wording Harry Miller quoted seems to be that the matter had been "recorded as a hate crime". Not "recorded as a non-crime hate incident".

I think there is a difference between recorded “crimes” and convicted crimes. A crime can be reported but no conviction result from it. However how this seems to work with eg rape is that if there is no charge laid the report is “no crimed” where presumably it isn’t recorded as a crime. The police forces don’t want lots of unsolved sex crimes.

This doesn’t appear to be happening with hate crime reports where the encouragement seems to be that all manner of unsubstantiated bollocks goes down as an actual “crime” in the records.

Indeed.

Daily Mail have an article on Watson today.

They unfortunately use female pronouns for that person, but otherwise pack the article with lots of info on Watson and call into question the police’s actions as well. They even suggest Watson has someone on the inside in the police, feeding him information on people he wants to attack.

Lovely bit of sunlight for the wider public.

FAFO indeed.

Here is one example, especially shocking in light of the murder of political activist Charlie Kirk in America this week.

A post from a social media account run by Watson last month declared: 'The USA is descending into full blown fascism. There has never been such a need for ethical assassination in US history.'

Compare what Watson said with what the target – Linehan – said with his 'punch him in the balls' post. A not very funny joke, on the one hand, and a possible incitement to kill someone which was definitely not a joke, on the other.

Doesn't this tell you everything you need to know about Watson and the trans mob who do not speak for all transgender people in the country, even if they would like you to believe so. Watson is a disgraced transgender police officer who was sacked for gross misconduct. Her modus operandi invariably follows the same disturbing pattern.

Firstly, individuals are bombarded with abusive posts. One free speech campaigner was sent more than 1,000 messages, branding him a 'wife beater', a 'wingnut' (slang for mentally deranged'), a 'Nazi' (accompanied on one occasion by an image of Adolf Hitler) and a 'bigot.'

Then an official complaint about the person in Watson's sights is made to the police which, in a number of instances, has led to them being investigated for insidious non-crime hate incidents (NCHIs) which, although not meeting the threshold of a criminal offence, can remain on your record.

Finally, legal proceedings are initiated against the police if the complaint is not acted upon. Three forces, as well as the British Transport Police Federation, the Police Appeals Tribunal and the Ministry of Defence, have been the subject of unsuccessful legal action by Watson.

Hard to say how much this has cost the taxpayer because Watson represented herself, yet the bill must surely have run into tens of thousands of pounds.

I've been keeping half an eye on his Bluesky account all week although I've not posted here. Frankly if I did I'd be doing nothing else, given the sheer scale of unhinged ranting. It's shocking and the mail story doesn't include pretty much anything from the last week.

There needs to be an intervention.

I'd love to see him take on the Mail for dead naming him.

He's doing himself no favours.

This is his latest Bluesky

I've redacted NCs DOB rather than amplify the problem.

Doxxing other people is a bit cheeky for someone so obsessive about his privacy that the only available photos of him are over 25 years old.

It's also something you should never do to a barrister, because if they're provoked they will turn you inside out for fun.

She not engaged directly with Lynsay or about Lynsay as far as I'm aware either.

She's been literally, just doing, her actual job.

Yes. There does need to be an intervention. Watson’s showing all the signs of being a very dangerous individual, but the police have missed that, being so focused on pursuing an agenda against ‘transphobia’ (even when it isn’t), and running scared of his vexatious and aggressive complaints and judicial reviews.
