"Flaming HYPOCRITE!" Linehan Arrest For Anti-Trans Posts & Free Speech Feat. Riley Gaines

The state of free speech in the UK is sparking global debate - especially in the United States.

Joe Rogan’s guests have raised alarms over arrests for social media posts, and U.S. Vice President JD Vance has warned Britain is “heading down a dark path.” That debate exploded this week after comedy writer Graham Linehan, co-creator of Father Ted, was arrested at Heathrow by armed police over three posts about trans women.

The government says police should focus on “streets not tweets,” while the Met insists only lawmakers can change the rules. What is striking is how many of Linehan’s critics have defended his right to speak, signalling a possible shift in attitudes on the trans debate. Even Malcolm Gladwell admits he felt pressured into his earlier views.
