Ridiculous stuff.
You'd think there were no real crimes in the UK to be investigated
And yet he then declares his support for Israel's efforts in maiming innocent women and children.
If you support women, you don't support Israel. It's that simple.
He also supports ICE who murdered Renée Good. Killing women is fine depending on who does it, it would seem.
A true modern day hero for women x
So if you agree with me that it's not fine, normal or heroic, why do you defend someone who celebrates women being shot dead by wannabe toy soldiers and then defends a country whose actual soliders are responsible for the deaths of thousands of women?
I'll tell you why, because he's a transphobic bigot and, judging by your posts, you're ok with that.
No it wasn't, you're confused. Go back and read the OP with link about him being arrested at Heathrow.
So if it's accurate you must agree it was because he "made some jokes about trans activists".
We're making progress at last.
Graham Linehan supports ICE?
Does anyone else find it absolutely insufferable that if you are anti trans (and anti greater LGBT), you are highly likely to also be pro Israel and potentially support ICE?
I'm actually embarassed for him to be honest. It's like they get a starter pack telling them what to believe in. Form your own opinions ffs.
He does:
Radio DJ Richard Bacon has branded Graham Linehan a “raging hypocrite” after he reshared a post calling Renee Good “the face of chaos”.The 50-year-old radio presenter, known for hosting shows on Capital FM and BBC Radio 5 Live, confronted Linehan, 57, after he reshared a post calling for women to be stripped of the right to vote in the US.Users noticed that the Father Ted creator reshared the X/Twitter post, which attempted to justify the shooting of Renee Nicole Good by Immigration & Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents.The post called the 37-year-old mother of two the “face of chaos” and called for the “outright abolishment” of the 19th Amendment, which gave women the right to vote, arguing that anything short would be a “grave half-measure”.

I certainly find it insufferable. A friend in the pub started harping on about it once, to which I told him to either stop or I'd leave. It's always the same dreck over and over and over again from people who couldn't name a single woman athlete.
'…confronted Linehan, 57, after he reshared a post calling for women to be stripped of the right to vote in the US.'

Does that not blow his attempted credability of 'protecting women' out of the water?
Or is he just an idiot and doesn't fully read the tweets he reposts?
Only if protecting women means protecting women and not just hatred for trans people. I remember one former poster on this site who loved to conflate the two.
It absolutely blows it out of the water.
However the posters here defending him do not actually care whether he is protecting women or not. He hates the trans women, so that's all ok with them.
I remember one Linehan fan referring to refugees as "cargo". Presumably, that includes the women they purportedly care about.
This is, by the way, not the same as "hatred"
Isn't it? From the Guardian:
Met police to end non-crime hate investigations after Graham Linehan case | Metropolitan police | The Guardian
he had written: “If a trans-identified male is in a female-only space, he is committing a violent, abusive act. Make a scene, call the cops and if all else fails, punch him in the balls.”
Another was a photograph of a trans-rights protest, with the comment “a photo you can smell”, and a follow-up post which read: “I hate them. Misogynists and homophobes. F*** em.”
"I hate them", straight from the horse's mouth.
I understand that posters don't like trans people, but defending Graham Linehan, purely because he also doesn't like them, is a very bad hill to die on.
They're ultra passionate about elite sports but ICE shooting civilians, less so. Suspect it applies to a lot of his supporters in this thread too.
If the photo was of protestors and he says he hates them then it's the protestors he's referring to. This is a problem with Graham in that he keeps on doing stupid things in a mean spirited and nasty way. Those tweets from him are easily open to a different interpretation.
He just causes problems for "the cause", for want of a better phrase.
I don't know if that's true, a recent paper in the UK looked at homicides and came to the opposite conclusion
"This paper proposes an alternative approach, comparing the ratio of transgender homicide victims to perpetrators. It analyzes all homicides involving transgender people in Britain from 2000 to 2025. Victims were outnumbered by perpetrators, even excluding those who declared a transgender identity after imprisonment. Almost all cases involved natal males identifying as transwomen. The victim-perpetrator ratio among these individuals closely resembles that for males overall and differs markedly from that for females. BBC News published more than four times as many articles on transgender victims as on perpetrators, contributing to perceptions of exceptional vulnerability."

And the vast majority of them wouldn't support elite women's sport in their lives, either.
If you support women, you don't support Israel...
nor Palestine. Nor the US, nor Iran, nor Eritrea nor Ethiopia ....
Glad you agree that Graham Linehan doesn't support women, then.
Always very funny that people still think this is some sort of gotcha.
You're really reaching when you bring in Israel/Gaza to this conversation.
I guess the Israel support, ice support, and thnaking a post supporting removing the right to vote for women just shows how linehan is transforming into a right wing gifter.
I think he became one years ago. He's just moulding himself into the milieu.
How so?
I suspect that some very odd online groups will be running the shows from Rob Schneider and himself. The daily wire seems like the kind of group that would pick them up.
I think the daily wire is in trouble financially because they tried to get into entertainment in movies and TV, so wont be a runner. They had mass layoffs announced this month.
Because there's so many variables going on in that conflict.
It's not a conflict so much as a genocide being perpetrated by an imperial power to deflect from its leader's corruption and vice. Linehan's support of the widespread indiscriminate slaughter of men, women and children neatly debunks the idea that he cares one white for women.
It certainly is true, known transphobes publishing bullshít studies won't change that fact.
Even by your argument it's people being killed, not specifically women.
Whatever about the actual content, the fact that hes on Twitter all day every day is going to test any marriage and any career.
Have we moved from the Crown Prosecution Service to the Court of Criminal reTweeting?
