The co-creator of the U.K. sitcom "Father Ted" was arrested at London Heathrow Airport on Monday allegedly over several social media posts criticizing transgender activists.
Graham Linehan recounted the ordeal on his Substack, saying there were signs of something strange happening before he landed in London.
According to the former comedy writer, a gate agent in the U.S. said he did not have a seat on his flight back home and needed to be issued a new ticket – something he didn’t think much of at the time. However, since the arrest, Linehan wrote on Substack that he believes he was flagged because "someone, somewhere, probably wearing unconvincing make-up" made a call.
When he got off the plane at Heathrow, Linehan was met by five armed officers, who told him he was being arrested over three posts on X.
"In a country where pedophiles escape sentencing, where knife crime is out of control, where women are assaulted and harassed every time they gather to speak, the state had mobilized five armed officers to arrest a comedy writer for this tweet (and no, I promise you, I am not making this up)," Linehan wrote.
In one of the posts, Linehan wrote that "if a trans-identified male is in a female-only space, he is committing a violent, abusive act." He then said those encountering such a scenario should make a scene, call police or even "punch" the offender.
He said officers questioned him about the post, and he explained it was a serious point expressed with humor.

They became Nazis anyways.
English police are amongst the most pathetic in the world. It’s a joke police force
If any are still alive, I wonder what the old Monty Python guys think of all this.
Perfect.
I’m going to use that and you can’t stop me.
Father Ted: Now concentrate this time, Dougal. These [he points to some plastic cows on the table] are female, but those [pointing at some bulls out of the window]
Father Ted: are male... Female, male[Dougal shakes his head in confusion]
Father Ted: Ah forget it...
These were five ARMED police officers.
Remember, British police do not routinely carry guns so for five armed officers to arrest him would require a very senior police officer to order this.
MORGAN: He did save western civilization.
CARLSON: How?
MORGAN: He defeated the Nazis.
CARLSON: Well I know he helped defeat the Nazis with his friend Stalin-
MORGAN: The nazis wanted the whole world to be speaking German.
CARLSON: I’m not defending the Nazis. I’m just saying, where is Western civilization? What did he preserve? Where is it? I don’t know where it is.
MORGAN: Churchill died the year before I was born. The same year.
CARLSON: He died in 63.
MORGAN: 65, I think about a month before I was born. It was a natural succession.
CARLSON: But the question was like, Where’s the victory? I don’t understand. Like, everyone wants to yell at you for not loving Churchill. Okay, well, show me the victory — no it’s a theoretical victory. He beat Hitler. Great. I’m totally for beating Hitler. Yeah, I’m totally.
But Trump is the fascist.
"Hag!"
And they try to tell us how the UK is so much better and noble than evil Russia.
Filthy stinking pukes. God damn bastard low life scum in Britain are far worse than anything in the dystopian world of 1984.
Totalitarianism, mass surveillance and repressive regimentation of people and behaviors within society. That is the United Kingdom today. /spit
UK is almost gone.
I watched it with my 88 year old mother. She loved it. Father Jack was her favorite.
Germany lost the war.
Fascism won.
Key Takeaways:
In the UK, while arrests are numerous (about 12,000 in 2023), convictions and custodial sentences remain comparatively low—only 137 individuals received jail time in 2024, and most sentences were brief.
In Russia, although case numbers are lower, the severity of sentencing is much higher, with many individuals receiving multi-year prison terms for social media posts or anti-war expression.
From AI.
Should’ve kept his mouth shut. /grrrr
I guess that “there will always be an England” is now null and void.
I sure am glad great great grandfather made his escape from there in 1873.
I was going to take the kids over to see the village he came from but we’re going to Japan instead; but even the Japanese are having “migrant” problems now.
Better see Japan before it’s gone.
