‘What the fuck has the UK become? This is totalitarianism. Utterly deplorable’, says JK Rowling, she of ‘Harry Potter’ and ‘Strike’ fame, not to mention being famous for having more money than God himself.
To what specifically does she refer, you may ask. Well, she refers to the recent arrest of Irish writer Graham Linehan (creator of the legendary ‘Father Ted’), as he got off a flight from the USA at Heathrow. Reports indicate that he was met by not one, not two, but FIVE armed police, then kept in a cell before being interrogated. The effect on Linehan’s blood pressure was such that he had to be taken to hospital for precautionary checks before being bailed.
Now you may be forgiven for thinking that Mr Linehan was under suspicion of committing some heinous offence such as drug trafficking or terrorism, but no. Mr Linehan was arrested for (wait for it) posting three ‘hurty word’ tweets about cocks in frocks on the soshull meeja site formally known as ‘Twitter’.
There you have it folks. At a time when the police respond to only one in five shoplifting offences, when you’re lucky to get an incident number for your insurance if your house or car gets done, when knife crime is rampant, when dangerous drugs are in circulation everywhere, when our country is being invaded and the scuffers do fuck all, they can send FIVE armed officers after a soft target.
As each week goes by, I become more convinced that we are in a race to the bottom as far as free speech is concerned in TwoTier Keir’s UK. Whatever you do, don’t make the specific mistake of mocking the scandal whereby some very confused neurotic males want to invade women’s toilets and changing rooms. The eyes and ears of the perpetually offended tr@ns community are upon you, and you could find your door being knocked on if Fred aka Freda gets the hump.
