Things in the UK are really getting crazy

British Comedy Writer Arrested For Three Gender-Critical Tweets; Hospitalized As A Result

quote:

When @Glinner landed at Heathrow, he was met by five armed police officers, and immediately arrested.

His ‘crime’? Three gender-critical tweets.

As Graham says in his Substack:

“In a country where paedophiles escape sentencing, where knife crime is out of control, where women are assaulted and harassed every time they gather to speak, the state had mobilised five armed officers to arrest a comedy writer.”

quote:

Linehan’s initial reaction was one of disbelief and humor: “When I first saw the cops, I actually laughed. I couldn’t help myself. ‘Don’t tell me! You’ve been sent by trans activists,'” he writes.

At the Heathrow police station, Linehan recounts how his belongings were confiscated, including his belt, bag, and devices. He was placed in a “small green-tiled cell with a bunk, a silver toilet in the corner and a message from Crimestoppers on the ceiling next to a concave mirror that was presumably there to make you reflect on your life choices.”

During the police interview, Linehan remarks that the tone became more intense. An officer questioned him about each tweet “with the sort of earnest intensity usually reserved for discussing something serious like… oh, I dunno—crime?”

Linehan defended his posts, explaining that the ‘punch’ tweet was “a serious point made with a joke,” explaining that “Men who enter women’s spaces ARE abusers and they need to be challenged every time.”

The conversation touched on terminology when the officer used “trans people,” prompting Linehan to challenge: “I asked him what he meant by the phrase. ‘People who feel their gender is different than what was assigned at birth.’ I said ‘Assigned at birth? Our sex isn’t assigned.'” He dismissed the officer’s response as “semantics” and accused him of using “activist language,” lamenting that “The damage Stonewall has done to the UK police force will take years to mend.”

Linehan recounts that the stress of the situation took a huge physical toll on him, and when a nurse checked on him, it was discovered that his blood pressure was “over 200—stroke territory,” and he was rushed to A&E for observation.

Linehan attributes this to “The stress of being arrested for jokes,” combined with travel fatigue, and his ongoing eight-year battle against “trans activists working in tandem with police in a dedicated, persistent harassment campaign because I refuse to believe that lesbians have cocks.”

Linehan’s account paints a picture of a surreal clash between free speech, activism, and law enforcement, highlighting his frustration with a system that now prioritises ideological complaints over real crimes.

Is it a coincidence that Linehan was on the world’s most popular podcast just three weeks ago talking about how much of a police state Britain has become?

Coming here soon if the left has their way.

"...because I refuse to believe that lesbians have cocks.”

Such a novel idea.

Not LGBTQ related but anti migrant related. Apparently if you speak out or protest any cause that has been deemed to be sanctioned by the government you are arrested or harassed in the UK.


Mother who flew Union Jack from council building at Epping protest hits out at 'disgusting' arrest

https://www.standard.co.uk/new...police-b1245523.html

Sarah White, who is a Reform UK member, has been released after spending 24 hours in police custody

A mother-of-five has hit out at her arrest after holding a Union Jack flag outside council offices during an anti-migrant hotel protest in Epping.

Footage of Sarah White’s arrest outside Epping Forest District Council went viral on social media on Sunday night.

In the video, Ms White is seen displaying a Union Jack from the steps of the Civic Centre before being detained by a group of officers.

The arrest sparked outcry among fellow demonstrators, with footage showing boos directed at police, while one officer attempts to keep protesters away from the steps.

Essex Police reiterated Ms White was arrested on suspicion of breaching a Section 14 order that was in place and strongly rejected suggestions she was arrested for flying a Union flag.

Now, Ms White, who is a Reform UK member, has been released after spending 24 hours in police custody.

Ms White is one of the key organisers for the protests held outside The Bell Hotel, which has been used to house asylum seekers.

She described the arrest as an “absolute disgrace” and said she is now considering taking legal action against Essex Police.

In her first interview since leaving police custody, Ms White told the Daily Mail: “I was one click away from my arm being broken. It's disgusting.

“I believe I was targeted and they wanted to make an example of me.

“I had given a speech about how Epping residents will plan to refuse to pay our council tax because the migrants are still at the hotel.

“Minutes later, I placed the flag at the council office. At a lot of the protests we've been there. That's been part of it.”

Ms White claimed she was “manhandled by several officers” and was “still in a state of shock”.

Essex Police said her arrest was “categorically not for flying a Union Flag”, but because the Civic Centre was not an area where protesters were allowed.

Around 200 protesters gathered outside the council building on Sunday, after judges ruled to overturn a High Court order to shut down the asylum hotel. Three people were arrested.

The move has sparked backlash from local councillors and politicians, who argue it prioritises the rights of asylum seekers at The Bell Hotel over those of local residents—many of whom continue to protest.

The Bell Hotel has become the focal point of several demonstrations and counter-protests in recent weeks after an asylum seeker housed there was charged with sexually assaulting a teenage girl last month.

He has denied the charges.

How long before they officially change their name to the United Caliphate?

The famous WW1/Great War Recruiting Poster updated for today’s events.

And the band played "The World Turned Upside Down"

Britons have no rights but the whims of their overlords.

That is one really fucked up country.

Agreed. "You can't give shit leftards an inch!" - Javier Milei

Chuck has always been a spineless fool, blowing in the wind towards whatever is on-trend.

Keep in mind, if England was all that great, we wouldn't have left.

A good chunk of the Bill of Rights were there because of what the Founders had experienced under British rule.

I am optimistic!

"King Charles inaugurates an Islamic centre, praises Muslims and calls on British citizens to greater understanding of Islamic world."



Its a dog-whistle calling the faithful to rise up against the Muslim onslaught.

Deus hoc vult! DEUS HOC VULT! DEUS HOC VULT!

Maybe.

And it looks like things haven’t improved since we left, in fact, it’s gotten worse!

Anarcho-Tyranny

quote:

Noun
anarcho-tyranny (countable and uncountable, plural anarcho-tyrannies)

A system of government that fails to enforce or adjudicate protection to its citizens while simultaneously persecuting innocent conduct.

An armed dictatorship without rule of law.

That describes Britain, some other EU countries, and even a few cities and states in the US, to a T.

Does any one have a link the three tweets?

I want to post them all over the UK.gov websites.

So it would appear that if your profile is high enough to draw attention, if you Tweet, Instagram, Tik-Tok, or even post on an online forum like this something that the UK police deem to be harassment of "those people", you could be arrested if you set foot in the UK.

Linehan is an Irish citizen so non-UK citizenship does not seem to protect you from being charged.
