Arrest of Graham Linehan brings disgrace to Britain

In a shocking turn of events, renowned comedy writer and creator of beloved shows like Father Ted and The IT Crowd, Graham Linehan, was arrested by five armed police officers at London Heathrow Airport on suspicion of inciting violence. The arrest was in response to three gender-critical tweets posted by Linehan in April, mocking trans activists and their attempts to invade women's spaces.

The incident has sparked a heated debate, with some viewing it as a reflection of the UK becoming a nation that locks up comedy writers and is ready to pounce on the orders of the easily offended. Linehan's belief that men aren't women is based on biological truth and upheld by the UK Supreme Court.

Despite the arrest, there is no information available about who filed the charges against Linehan. The Met has confirmed the arrest, but has said no more on whether charges will be brought.

In a damning account from his hospital bed, Linehan wrote about his experience, detailing how he was escorted from the police station to A&E due to high blood pressure caused by the stress of the arrest.

The arrest has led to a surge in interest in a website known for its popular articles by authors such as Lionel Shriver, Freddie Attenborough, Tim Black, and Tom Slater. A piece titled "Will I be arrested next, after Graham Linehan?" by Lionel Shriver and a video titled "'You're defending tyranny' - Tom Slater vs Zack Polanski" are among the most viewed content on the site.

Interestingly, only supporters and patrons who donate regularly can comment on the website's articles. Becoming a supporter and making a monthly contribution is the most impactful way to support the website's journalism. Supporters can enjoy ad-free reading, exclusive bonus content, regular events, and access to the comments section. If just 1% of the website's regular readers donated regularly, it would be transformative for the website, allowing it to expand its team and coverage.

During the interrogation, Linehan claims he was asked to explain the tweets. The date of this article is September 4, 2025, and the debate surrounding freedom of speech and the role of comedy in society continues to rage on.
