‘The IT Crowd’ creator Graham Linehan arrested by UK cops over ‘anti-trans’ posts on X: ‘like a terrorist’

“The IT Crowd” creator Graham Linehan has said he was arrested by cops in the UK over three “anti-trans” social media posts shortly after arriving at London Heathrow Airport.

The Irish comedy writer, who was flying to Britain on an American Airlines flight from Arizona, accused police of treating him like a “terrorist” when they detained him moments after he stepped off the plane on Monday.

Linehan, 57, who has become a strident critic of the transgender rights movement, said he was escorted to a private area where he was told he was under arrest “for three tweets” by officers of the Metropolitan Police.

England needs to rebel.

[cross_bearer_02]

Ironic, isn’t it? We saved England from being overrun by the jackbooted nazis in World War 2, and not even a century later, their own government allows in a spate of foreigners who are all too willing to lace up the jackboots themselves and trample over their own citizenry.

So much for “Rule Britannia! Britannia, rule the waves! Britons never, never, never will be slaves.”

[Telepathic Intruder]

Anti-trans posts. What did he do, use the word “he”? That’s a crime now, don’t ya know.

Linehan, 57, shared further details of the arrest on his blog, which he said occurred as he was returning from Arizona. He claimed to have “been flagged” and “arrested at an airport like a terrorist”.

“The moment I stepped off the plane at Heathrow, five armed police officers were waiting. Not one, not two – five,” he wrote. “They escorted me to a private area and told me I was under arrest for three tweets.”

He reshared the posts, which were originally posted in April, one of which called on people to “call the cops” on trans-identifying people and “if all else fails, punch him in the balls”.

Another post showed a crowd of people at a protest, many holding transgender and LGBT+ Pride flags, which he wrote over the top: “A photo you can smell.”

The third post he claimed had led to his arrest was in response to someone who commented under this photo, where he said: “I hate them. Misogynists and homophobes. F*** em.”

He claimed his belt, bag and devices were confiscated as he was shown to a small green-tiled cell with a bunk and silver toilet, and he was questioned about his posts, which he said “was a serious point made with a joke”.

When a nurse came to check on him, he claimed they found his blood pressure was in “stroke territory” because “the stress of being arrested for jokes was literally threatening my life”, which led him to be escorted to A&E.

He added that his single bail condition is that he is not to go on X, and he faces a further interview in October.

Linehan is already facing trial at Westminster Magistrates’ Court on Thursday over two separate charges. One is in relation to harassing transgender activist Sophia Brooks on social media, and the other is for damaging Ms Brooks’s mobile phone in October. He denied the charges at a hearing on 12 May.

The Irish Bafta-winning writer has become increasingly known in recent years for sharing anti-trans rhetoric online that has attracted significant criticism from LGBT+ groups.

In his 2023 memoir titled Tough Crowd: How I Made and Lost a Career in Comedy, Linehan claimed his “unfashionable” views on trans rights had led him to being blacklisted in the entertainment industry and cost him his marriage.

Last year, he announced he was leaving the UK to move to Arizona and was intending to film three episodes of a new sitcom with actor Rob Schneider.

A Met Police spokesperson said: “On Monday, September 1, at 1pm, officers arrested a man at Heathrow airport after he arrived on an inbound American Airlines flight.

“The man in his fifties 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.

“He has now been bailed pending further investigation.”

In response to Linehan’s claim that he was arrested by armed officers, the force said: “The arrest was made by officers from the MPS aviation unit. It is routine for officers policing airports to carry firearms. These were not drawn or used at any point during the arrest.”

Romans 1:24-28
Evangelical Heritage Version

24 So, as they followed the sinful desires of their hearts, God handed them over to the impurity of degrading their own bodies among themselves.

25 Such people have traded the truth about God for the lie, worshipping and serving the creation rather than the Creator, who is worthy of praise forever. Amen.

26 For this reason God handed them over to disgraceful passions. Even their females exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones.

27 And, in the same way, their males, after abandoning natural sexual relations with females, were consumed by their lust for one another. Males perform indecent acts with males and receive in themselves the penalty that is fitting for their perversion.

28 And since they did not consider it worthwhile to hold on to the true knowledge of God, God handed them over to a corrupted mind to do things that should never be done.

Update! The Met just threw Parliament under the bus with the they-made-us-do-it defense...

Met Police boss breaks silence with pop at ministers after Father Ted creator arrest The Scotland Yard chief said his officers will now only take action on social media abuse "where there is a clear risk of harm or disorder".

[mewzilla]

The Met was just following orders...

I can’t believe they trotted out the Nuremberg defense...

[mewzilla]

I wonder how much this had to do with it...

Father Ted creator Graham Linehan releases audio of trans tweets arrest: 'Holy s**t, I don't believe it' The Father Ted creator is heard being told to ‘calm down’ by police, as he responds: ‘I won’t calm down’

A note to the Met and its officers...

You could have refused to obey. You SHOULD have refused to obey. The fact that you choose to obey is on YOU, not your sodding Parliament.

[mewzilla]

Just checked.

The Met has about 30,000 uniformed officers.

How many have refused to obey, would refuse to obey if told to lock up someone for hurty words?

Note to the Met: You’re not a police force. You’ve become a goon squad.

“But what senior officer authorised 5 armed police officers to go fully armed to arrest a comedian, getting off a flight, and why were they so heavily armed?”

F.Y.I... President Trump and First Lady Melania will be making a State Visit to Britain at the invitation of King Charles from September 17 to 19. They will be hosted at Windsor Castle.

My $0.02 cents: This is not a good look for Trump. It is going to be disgusting display of black tie pageantry and kabuki theater. It will only rile up the protesters more.

“...It is going to be disgusting display of black tie pageantry and kabuki theater....”

During all that BS, Trump should just come out and lay it on em, thick and heavy, to the point where they’d have to arrest him. Talk about a SHTF moment that’d be.

I have it on good authority that King Charles and Camilla are both trans, therefore one cannot disparage the king.

Come and get me, you sad limey wankers.

The appropriate place to do that, if it could be secured, would be Speakers’ Corner in Hyde Park.

That would be one for the ages.
