This is context most outlets failed to report yesterday, by the way.

>Meanwhile Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley said his officers are in “an impossible position” when dealing with statements made online, and should not be “policing toxic culture wars debates”.
But arresting peaceful protestors as terrorists, including some very elderly ones, is all hunky dory.
Fucking shameless. Linehan very clearly incited violence against trans women in his tweet, and the claim that it’s about height difference is laughable. Are cis-women 3 feet tall or something?
The case he’s on trial for now seems even more clear cut. He’s accused of directly targeting a person for online harassment and damaging her property.

I wonder how much attention *this* will get compared to the “poor widdle Graham being censored for his free speech” narrative.

“Alleged”

Also why am I not surprised that the media didn’t cover this?

It’s a shame there’s no way to confine him to Ireland really. Make him Dublin’s problem

Watching all the weak folks on the left curtail to bigots and fascists would be hilarious if it wasn’t so sad. Farage on his grifting US tour yesterday was dealt with how out crappy UK press should treat him.
These fascists will never care for law ever.
Watching yesterday left wing people try and seem centrists to these nutjobs is insane.
These people are insane. If you commit a crime whether digital or not you do the time. Right wingers only want free speech and punishment for all those who disagree with them but never same rule of law applied to them. Nope. Tough. Rule of law applies to them as well.

The worrying thing is that the media and politicians are siding with the transphobic Lineham in this case against a trans teenager.
There has definitely been an increase in acceptance of transphobia in the UK recently. It makes me worried that wider LGBT rights will soon be in the firing line of the culture wars.

Lineham being described as Father Ted creator is a bit odd given how long ago this was. Maybe “Terminally Online troll to face trial…” instead?

Jesus fucking Christ dude, get a hobby or something.
Imagine blowing your fucking life to shit over some perceived threat that some masculine looking woman might have or used to have a boaby in her pants.

If an asylum seeker was calling for people to go into ladies restrooms to assault women they think are not womanly enough, you would of course have an entire cohort of “female defenders” out and about demonizing them and everyone associated with them, and likely riots in the streets.
But, because graham lineham says it, it’s apparently a free speech issue, proof that the government is woke, proof britain is going down the pan, etc. and those same “female defenders” are standing behind him telling everyone who will listen that actually he’s speaking total common sense (to assault women in ladies restrooms)
It’s would actually be laughable, if it wasn’t so absolutely tragic this is the state of discourse in the UK.
