    There's some irony in the man who came up with the 'Golden Cleric speech' writing something like that. Everything is someone else's fault, everyone is against him, absolutely zero insight into his own role in his downfall.

    He writes coherently alright, whether it's convincing is another matter.

    Any of the people he's named above could have used the civil courts if they think they were defamed by him.

    Defamation litigation, like any litigation, is extremely expensive and people need to think long and hard about it. Not everyone has sketchy right-wing lobby groups to fund their legal adventures, but lucky for Graham, he does.

    I live in the UK. I've seen several grand claims about how my rights are under threat but not one single atom of evidence for these claims.

    Given Linehan's gloating over the murder of Renée good and his support for Israel's genocide, I see little reason to take his word for anything.

    Indeed it is expensive and rightly so. The alternative is to suck up the hurty words, and get on with your life instead of running to the police every time someone says something you don't like.

    I think it was always a given that the Torygraph would give him yet another platform for his ''Woe is Me'' schtick.
    There is not an ounce of intropsection anywhere in that article.
    Its definitely a Golden Cleric Speech with a whole heap of whataboutery thrown in too for good measure.

    To help lighten the mood for a while.

    He had a custom t-shirt made with one of their front pages on it. If that were me, I'd be asking questions at that point.
