‘It Crowd’ Writer Graham Linehan Says He Was Arrested in London by ‘Armed Police’ over Transgender Critical Tweets
Breitbart ^ | September 02, 2025 | Kurt Zindulka

Award-winning Irish comedy writer Graham Linehan said that he was arrested in London over posts on social media criticising transgenderism.

The creator of celebrated comedy programmes, including Father Ted and The IT Crowd, said on Tuesday that upon recently arriving at Heathrow Airport, he was met by five “armed police officers” who he says arrested him over “three tweets”.

“In a country where paedophiles escape sentencing, where knife crime is out of control, where women are assaulted and harassed every time they gather to speak, the state had mobilised five armed officers to arrest a comedy writer for this tweet (and no, I promise you, I am not making this up),” Linehan wrote on his Substack.

According to the Irish writer, the posts for which he was arrested included one in which he argued that biological men who enter female-only spaces are committing a “violent and abusive act”. “Make a scene, call the cops and if all else fails, punch him in the balls,” Linehan suggested.

Another included a photograph of an LGBTQ+ rally in London, which Linehan captioned: “A photo you can smell”.

The U.S. needs to airdrop millions of surplus guns onto Britain along with sufficient ammo and tell its people "Here. It's time to overthrow your government just as we did. This will get you started."

It is time for our president to vigorously address the dying of liberty in our "mother country".

And Robin Wright moved there because she says America is ‘a shit show’? She should renounce her citizenship so she can fully enjoy her new home…..and not come crawling back.

Its clear that the rump UK empire in London and their Globohomo pets in Brussels are an enemy.

Trump, having nearly been overthrown and killed by them (and their US allies) must realize this

But when will it break into the open and become US policy to facilitate their downfall?

Liberalism has destroyed many nations, because it lacks common-sense, and promotes insanity as being normal.

So yes, this is not surprising, except perhaps for the fact that this comic, who I understand is more liberal than conservative, had not realized that this would be the result.

He either thought his liberal views would provide him with a pass, or he hasn't been paying attention to the realities. A third possibility, might be that he was bringing attention to the problem, but that option seems like a stretch to me.

The really insidious thing about “hate speech” laws is how vague they are. What is perfectly okay to say one day could be a felony the next.

So many people will play it safe, and not say anything at all. Which is the goal of the government in the first place.

We need a MTG to go there and say those things. Bring Michael Savage with her.
