(VIDEO) Graham Linehan – Here’s What he Tweeted, Here’s What he Wore

Taking a stand… right in front of the London court.

As most of you are already aware, Irish comedy writer Graham Linehan (of Father Ted fame) was recently arrested by five (count ’em… five) armed London cops at Heathrow International Airport.

His horrific crime(s)? A couple of tweets from almost five months ago when he was visiting Arizona.

I’ll turn it over to Linehan himself to explain exactly what’s going on, as reported by PJ Media;

“Not one, not two—five. They escorted me to a private area and told me I was under arrest for three tweets. 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 for this tweet (and no, I promise you, I am not making this up.”

The charges? Authorities alleged that certain tweets he posted about transgender people amounted to “inciting violence.”
