Graham Linehan is a television writer behind programmes such as Father Ted YouTube LinkThe IT Crowd and Black Books but is probably more well-known today as being the victim of a vindictive trial by social media campaign that has cost him his career, reputation and marriage.
His ‘crimes’? To voice scepticism over gender self-identification , puberty blockers for children, lottery funding for Mermaids, the children’s transgender charity, to open clinics around the country and the erosion of women’s rights and spaces.
It started pretty innocuous, handbags with transbender ‘activists’ on Twitter, then just snowballed from then on. Police called for allegations of “transphobia”, being doxed and having his home address made public and then coming after his career, civil legal action followed. Friends stopped calling or ghosted him on social media, TV companies, producers and agents wouldn’t take his calls and marriage eventual breakup .He was even offered £200,000 to walk away from Father Ted the Musical because he was considered so toxic it was felt they wouldn’t get financing.
This Kafkaesque nightmare started because of an unhinged minority on Twitter couldn’t except their ideology being challenged and Linehan meekly fucking off as many have done before.
