On September 1, Irish comedian and comedy author Graham Linehan was arrested at Heathrow Airport in London by a peculiar group of 5 policemen. As a reason for detention, the political police gave his 3 posts on X, in which he criticized the ideology of neolysenkoism.
The English government arrested a comedian for entries critical of genderism. According to Linehan's account, published on his Substack On September 2, he noted that something was wrong, as shortly as he attempted to board a transfer plane flying to Arizona. He was then told that there was no area for him and he had to change the ticket.
"When I got off the plane on Heathrow, 5 armed police officers were waiting for me" – wrote. "They escorted me to a peculiar region and said I was under arrest for 3 tweets. In a country where pedophiles avoid convictions, where knife crime got out of control, where women are attacked and harassed whenever they effort to talk publicly, the state mobilized 5 armed officers to arrest the comedy author...” – he added.
The 3 posts on the X site that led to Linehan's arrest were, among others, the 1 on April 20, in which he wrote: ‘if a man identified as a transgender individual is in a place intended exclusively for women, an act of force and abuse shall be committed’. Another 1 of April 19, featuring a photograph of a transgender rally and a signature "a image that can be smelled". The 3rd of the same day Linehan said he hated ‘mizogins and homophobes’.
“When I first saw police officers, I virtually laughed” – mentioned Linehan. "I couldn't aid myself. 'Don't tell me! Transsexual activists sent you.” The officers did not respond and this subject was accompanied for most of the day. Among the Private Uniforms there was a kind of amazement. Completely professional, even polite, but most had absolutely no thought what it was all about.” – he continued.
The police, without irony, read to the comedian his rights, and then escorted him to a van parked on the airport plate. At Heathrow Police Station, he was removed from his pants belt, bag and electronic devices, and then placed in a cell. He was then interviewed for each of the 3 X entries.
“When a policeman mentioned “transgender persons”, I asked him what he meant by that term. 'People who feel that their sex is different from the 1 they were assigned at birth' – I heard. I replied: “Assigned at birth? Our sex is not attributed." He called it semantics, and I told him he was utilizing activist language. The harm Stonewall did to the British police will be repaired for years.
Finally, a caregiver came to examine me and concluded that my blood force was more than 200 – the stroke limit. The stress of arresting for jokes virtually threatened my life! So I was escorted to the ER, where I am writing this now after about 8 hours of observation" – continued his relationship.
Linehan was granted 1 condition of bail: the ban on speaking on X. He was besides informed that in October he would be faced with another "socializing conversation".
"The kindness of individual officers does not alter the fundamental reality of what happened. I was arrested at the airport like a terrorist, locked in a cell like a criminal, taken to a infirmary due to the fact that the stress almost killed me, and I was forbidden to talk on the Internet. All due to the fact that I told jokes that angered psychotic transvestites.
For me this proves 1 thing beyond doubt: Britain has become a country hostile to freedom of speech, hostile to women and far besides submissive to the demands of violent, assertive and aggressive men who have made police their own individual squad of thugs” – concluded the comedian.
It is hard to realize the strategical madness of the arrest of a popular comedian at the airport in the presence of 5 police officers due to 3 banal X posts – especially given the social unrest presently engulfing Britain. As prof. of global Relations Yua Yi Zhu put it: "Whoever allowed his arrest should be arrested due to the fact that he is clearly any sick accelerator who tries to undermine any remaining assurance in the police."
Whoever authenticated his arrest should be readted, as he’s clearly any sick accelerationist who is trying to undermine any leftover trust in the police. https://t.co/neGtWteKdn

Just last month, Prime Minister Keir Starmer – who had already met respective times with criticism from the Trump administration, for limiting freedom of speech in the UK – stated: "I powerfully support freedom of speech; freedom of speech has existed in this country for a very long time and we are fiercely defending it". However, as Conservative MP Neil O'Brien noted after Linehan's arrest: "UK is now a laughing stock – a country where we arrest light comedy authors and question them for tweets. It would be comic if it wasn't real.”
The outrage was almost unanimous and provides further evidence that the activists of genderism/neolysenkoism, desperately clinging to the organization power they gained over the last decade, one more time exaggerated. The transgender movement has already cost the Western institutions that have adopted its programme, a immense failure of credibility and it seems that even in the face of further failures, they want to destruct forever any remaining assurance in alleged liberal democracy.
