Nice way to start a Tuesday, Glinners being arrested just brightened up the over cast day 🙂
Ahhhhh. What a nice day

Gather round all you usual suspects.
>”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.”
Pretty clear cut incitement tbh. If he’d stopped at “call the cops” he probably would’ve been fine. Couldn’t resist though. He never can.

One of the tweets. Crazy that you can be arrested for saying stuff like that. I completely disagree with him but it’s a bad precedent
Down with this sort of things!
Don’t like the idea of arseholery being a crime.
Probably exactly what he wanted
“My blood pressure was over 200 and I was rushed to A&E”
Well, the good news Graham is that you won’t have to deal with trans people very soon. The bad news is that it’s because your brain’s capillaries are going off like popcorn.
I disagree with him, but this is not a good thing at all.
“Ted, didn’t you say Glinners had trials at Liverpool?”
“No, Dougal, I said he was ON trial IN Liverpool”
The hate is big with Graham
The man is obsessed with trans people, to the extent he’s lost his career and spent more time tweeting that interacting with one of his children on Christmas day one year. I think its a real lesson in online radicalisation.
Agree or not, with this surveillance bill around the corner, this could be you and it could be a private message to a friend as a joke, this is a slippery slope folks and you all know it.
Fucking clown world.
The guys is a douchebag. But these laws are absolutely insane.
Christopher Hitchens would be rolling in his grave.
You love to see it. Sadly gobshites like him are becoming more common and more brazen as if late, and unfortunately I see things getting worse before they get better.
Aw jesus the twitter people will have some day on this
The kind of shit that will get more tricolors flying for the bad reasons.
I love the shade being thrown by the Met:
>The writer said after questioning by police his blood pressure had reached “stroke territory” and he was taken to hospital and kept under observation
>… a spokeswoman said: “… After being taken to police custody, officers became concerned for his health and he was taken to hospital. His condition is neither life-threatening nor life-changing.”
Just a terminally online drama queen.
The over all arching message is shite like this dehumanises a minority, how do you strike a balance?
This is absolutely going to raise up a media storm of “WOKE GOVERNMENT ARRESTS MAN FOR FREEDOM OF SPEECH! CENSORING CRITICS OF THE WOKE MOB!” when Glinner is here actively inciting violence against trans women who commit the crime of existing.
Free speech isn’t free of consequences, talk shite to incite violence then be willing to face the consequences & don’t play the victim
The whole thing is just so sad. Sad that he choose the route of unnecessary hate and sacrificed his career for it
It is insane to be arresting somebody for this.
Icarus flew too close to the sun..
I just can’t understand why he set about burning down his career for this topic. I’ve seen him speak on the matter and some of it made great sense, and the rest of it was whacky as hell..
Anyway, let the solicitors, barristers and courts decide and I’ll just get on with my own life.
There’s something very wrong with this man. Never seen someone torch their personal life, career, reputation and any shred of good will so comprehensively, and all just to feel the dopamine hit of a few social media likes. He’s a great example of how social media has warped some people’s entire perception of reality. He can’t back away from it now either because that would mean admitting he destroyed his life for nothing.
The title is a little reductive. He wasn’t simply expressing his views,he’s allowed to express a controversial opinion. He was inciting violence so it’s completely justified.
“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.”
He just can’t sit on the fence. Always has to hop over and throw a tantrum. All because they tried to ban an episode of IT crowd. He’s fucking mad as a hatter. Someone needs to ban him from the internet for his own sake and the rest of us. His Rogan interview was a further car crash.
I heard you’re an inciter now, father!?
I hear you’re in custody now father
Linehan is a twat but this is state overreach and gives him exactly what he wants. Give this guy another more BS to write op-eds about and more fuel to talk drivel on podcasts about.
Incitement to violence seems like over kill to me, it might be off taste but could be read as an off color joke like. I understand being offended but I don’t think this is an arrestable offense. Looking at this honestly was there really intent to stoke violence here.
Not sure what to think of anyone supporting arrests for the likes of this. Feel like some people are really gone mad.
This lad has turned into a more famous Enoch Burke. Just absolutely sick of seeing his face and name mentioned
Regardless of what you think about the issue, this guy spends way too much time thinking and writing about it… Self-destructing your life over a single political issue you have no real stake in is kinda mad.
This is going nowhere. Waste of time and makes rights activists look daft. It’ll be used as a precedent that someone talking about violence “didn’t really mean it”.
I heard you’re a transphobe now father
Can’t say I’m not happy at the news.
The man has been “cancelled” and has still regularly been invited to a bunch of podcasts complaining about it, he is outspoken to the point where people just don’t want to work with him and he is just targeting the trans issue like that was the reason. If he shut the fuck up he would still probably be working but the whole crybully shit is boring as fuck.
Damn.
What a shame.
“I hate them. Misogynists and homophobes. F**k em.”
Sir – I am both a woman and queer and I do not want or need your defending.
I think he’s an absolute twat with his opinions but I am extremely concerned that someone can be arrested due to some tasteless but relatively harmless posts on twitter.
My biggest fear is his hatred will encourage transphobes and TERFS to feel further emboldened. Freedom of expression is not freedom from consequences at the end of the day. That kind of language dehumanises people who are already on the peripheral in life. At the risk of down votes trans rights is where the gay community was in the 80s except the hatred is multiplied by social media
I really wish he’d just fuck off at this point
He’s embarrassing
There’s more than a few accounts with hidden post and comment histories defending him for this here. How odd…
That would be an ecumenical matter
Good, F him.
As much as I’m delighted for him. He will fucking love this. He was already a victim of Terminal Eternal Victim Complex
His wife left him because of his views and yet he still claims to be campaigning for women even when the woman that was in his life told him no
Such a pointless, bigoted cross to die on…
