Graham Linehan, a UK comedian now living in America most famous for creating shows like “The IT Crowd,” was arrested in London for tweeting “offensive” comments about transgenders. He was met at Heathrow Airport where he was detained for hours, producing a medical event for Linehan.
On October 20, Linehan broke the news, “The police have informed my lawyers that I face no further action in respect of the arrest at Heathrow in September. After a successful hearing to get my bail conditions lifted (one which the police officer in charge of the case didn’t even bother to attend) the Crown Prosecution Service has dropped the case. With the aid of the Free Speech Union, I still aim to hold the police accountable for what is only the latest attempt to silence and suppress gender critical voices on behalf of dangerous and disturbed men.”
The UK government has, for once, tacitly admitted to unjustifiable censorship as it dropped the case against a comedy writer who wrote social media posts critical of transgender ideology.
Irish comedy writer Graham Linehan, who now lives in the United States, criticized transgenderism online before flying to London, where police arrested him at Heathrow Airport. But Linehan announced on X Monday, “the Crown Prosecution Service has dropped the case” against him. He vowed to pursue accountability for the police involved in his arrest, however.
