"Linehan broke down his arrest, which he said occurred at Heathrow Airport after he'd flown back from the United States. Linehan said five armed men took him into custody and questioned him about his social media posts. The comedy writer, who co-created the popular Father Ted series, said he was eventually taken to the hospital after his pressure was taken. When I first saw the cops, I actually laughed. I couldn't help myself. Don't tell me! You've been sent by trans activists.'"
"Piers Morgan and others raised concern on Tuesday after an Irish comedy writer was arrested by British authorities over a number of X posts. When it comes to free speech, Britain's turning into North Korea, Morgan wrote, calling the arrest of Graham Linehan absolutely ridiculous. What's happened to @Glinner today is absolutely ridiculous. Five armed cops arresting him at Heathrow for tweets mocking the scandal of biological men invading women's spaces? When it comes to free speech, Britain's turning into North Korea."
Graham Linehan was arrested at Heathrow after returning from the United States and taken into custody by five armed officers who questioned him about social media posts. Linehan said the arrest stemmed from three X posts from April concerning a trans-identified male entering female-only spaces and that one post advised calling police or physically striking such a person. Linehan reported being taken to hospital after his blood pressure was checked and said a bail condition barred him from using Twitter. Metropolitan Police said the detention was on suspicion of inciting violence. Piers Morgan and J.K. Rowling publicly criticized the arrest. Linehan says his transgender-related views cost him work and ended his marriage.
