Comment: Another example of British tyranny with police arresting people for having the wrong opinions. Forget serious crime, trawling x feeds is a far better use of tax payers' money. A dangerous red flag for our immediate future. The Clown World continues...
Father Ted co-creator Graham Linehan has been arrested at Heathrow Airport on suspicion of inciting violence in relation to his posts on X.
He was arrested by five officers after arriving on a flight from the US, and said in an online Substack article that officials then became concerned for his health after taking his blood pressure, and took him to hospital.
The Metropolitan Police said that a man in his 50s was arrested on 1 September at Heathrow Airport and taken to hospital, adding his condition "is neither life-threatening nor life-changing" , and he was bailed "pending further investigation".
Linehan said in an online article on Substack that his bail condition stipulates he is "not to go on Twitter" and that his arrest related to three posts on X from April, on his views about challenging "a trans-identified male" in "a female-only space".
The arrest prompted a furious backlash from figures including author JK Rowling.
Linehan shared screen shots of the posts he said he was arrested for on Substack, the subscription-based online platform.
The first post, from his X feed, called it a "violent, abusive act" for a trans-identified male to be in a female-only space. He suggested: "Make a scene, call the cops and if all else fails punch him in the balls."
