Graham Linehan reports he was arrested at Heathrow for tweets he has sent. By five armed police officers…
The Father Ted creator and gender critical activist reported on his Substack today that he was removed to a station by van before being questioned. After a nurse measured his blood pressure at over 200 he was taken to hospital. The tweets in question included the below. Another was a photo of some trans rights protesters accompanied by: “a photo you can smell”…
Shadow minister Neil O’Brien said “Britain is now a total laughing stock – a country where we arrest the authors of light comedies and interrogate them about their tweets. It would be laughable it it wasn’t so serious.” Labour MP Jonathan Hinder has come out in support of Linehan, saying: “cases like [Linehan’s] airport arrest show that we need a serious reset to get the priorities right.” Free speech battle coming up…
The Free Speech Union is taking up Linehan’s case. He is set to appear at Westminster magistrates’ court on Thursday over two charges of social media harassment against trans activist Sophia Brooks and damaging Brooks’ phone. A Met spokesman said:
“On Monday, Sept 1 at 13.00 hrs, officers arrested a man at Heathrow airport after he arrived on an inbound American Airlines flight. The man, in his 50s, was arrested on suspicion of inciting violence. This is in relation to posts on X. After being taken to police custody, officers became concerned for his health and he was taken to hospital. His condition is neither life-threatening nor life-changing.”
Five armed officers…
UPDATE: Starmer’s spokesman said: “You have got the previous words that the Prime Minister’s used in relation to free speech. It’s up to police to make operational decisions.” Farage will raise the issue more stridently in Washington tomorrow…
