UK comedy writer Graham Linehan arrested over social media posts criticizing trans activists

Former comedy writer Graham Linehan was arrested at Heathrow Airport in relation to several social media posts in which he criticized trans activists.

Graham is Irish, a citizen of Eire, the Irish Republic. Not Northern Ireland British. He uploaded those posts from Arizona a couple of months ago apparently. So if any US citizens post anything that the British police think is unsuitable, or someone objects to, then watch out! If you come to the UK you may well be arrested and thrown into jail whilst they interrogate you.

I'm not sure just how Graham comes under the jurisdiction of the UK but this is Britain today.
Our PM is more concerned trying to trivialise the fact than his second in command Deputy PM Raynor's £40,000 tax avoidance scheme. Plus trying to tell us that illegal immigration is just fine. We are all still waiting for the Pakistani R*pe Gang trials to start, or maybe not. Time will tell.

It all make perfect sense.

I see he's currently on trial for a different charge of harassing a trans woman and breaking her phone.

The charges from his arrest at Heathrow are apparently related to inciting violence.

I wonder if it is related to that new UK law Jon is concerned about.

After I made the AWF post, I read more about his situation and I do see the inciting violence as having mostly been the core issue, which if he did recommend people commit violence, then I feel a bit less sorry for him - I'll concede.
