What did Graham Linehan say that was so offensive he got arrested by armed policemen?

It was what he said he did, not the saying, that caused him to be arrested. That those carrying out the arrest were armed was probably coincidental, being where it happened.

What did he say he did?

 

[Wisbech Eagle]

It's a very Orwellian Animal Farm phenomenon.

No. It’s democracy. We can change it, if we disapprove.

 

[Wisbech Eagle]

What did he say he did?

Confront and threaten a transgender for being somewhere he disapproved of.

 

[georgenorman]

It’s why we elect governments!

Apart from the EU, where you can't elect your government.

 

[Teddy Eagle]

Confront and threaten a transgender for being somewhere he disapproved of.

Did he? Or did he say what people should do in that situation?

 

[Teddy Eagle]

No. It’s democracy. We can change it, if we disapprove.

Problem solved. Just vote Democrat in the next election.

Did he? Or did he say what people should do in that situation?

I thought it was because he said men shouldn't be using women's toilets?

I'd imagine it's pretty common sense that men shouldn't be in women's toilets anyway 🤷🏻‍♂️

He said anyone in that situation should make a fuss or call the cops and if all else fails punch him in the balls.

The person who has complained is a well known trans activist who has reported dozens of people to the police claiming to be the victim. Most of the people complained about say he is the bully and they are the victim.

 

[Wisbech Eagle]

Did he? Or did he say what people should do in that situation?

He wrote enough for the police to decide they needed to interview him.

 

[Wisbech Eagle]

Problem solved. Just vote Democrat in the next election.

Glad you agree!

You have identified why yourself. Inciting violence is illegal.

 

[Teddy Eagle]

Glad you agree!

I'll be voting in the US elections straight after you.

Irrelevant. If true it should be dealt with separately.

If he wrote what has been suggested then he was inciting violence. It doesn’t matter who against.

We won’t be. I didn’t think your message was personal!

 

[Teddy Eagle]

It wasn't personal. It was to point out that as we can't vote in their elections it's all moot anyway.

Was he? As a comedy writer he might have been making a joke by pointing out that anyone with balls isn't a woman.

 

[Wisbech Eagle]

Post hoc ergo propter hoc.

Not illogical at all. Why else would they? It’s the most obvious explanation.
