Has anyone apart from Linehan said that the ribbon/noose tweet is one of the offending tweets?

It was reported in the Times (in the bit of the article before the paywall) that the ribbon tweet is allegedly one of the offending tweets but that there are no details on the other tweets.

Let's be real here, she's not in court because of that one tweet. And I can't wait for all the stupid fuckers screeching and screeching  on Twitter to end up in court on contempt charges. I really hope they go after Glinner and the libellous shit he's said.

Barry Admin

Yeah this is really set to be a cluster fuck. There's half a dozen tweets that are "homophobic and transphobic", and she locked her account rather than delete any of them.

Now she's got 30 grand in her pocket, she's decided to unlock her timeline and delete some of her tweets "due to wording."

Just seems like Glinner has whipped the whole thing up without knowing what the actual issue was, and I'm now very keen to hear the contents of these other tweets.

I liked CAS a lot on the radio but the TV series did nothing for me. Interestingly, I had a diacussion about it on Twitter once with someone who felt the character was very much poking fun at dementia.

IIRC Count Dankula was charged under Scotland's hate laws for teaching his pug a Nazi salute and putting it up on YouTube. Whatever you think of the merit of bringing that case, an ordinary person can understand why some people would find that offensive. No way is Wheesht woman up in court because she simply said some biological facts on Twitter.

If that happened today then that dog would be on Question Time next week.

the first two radio series were genuinely hilarious but then he stuck in extra unfunny supporting characters and Sue Perkins and it was past its best, although the live show was still good. Linehan trying to inject it with Seinfeld for TV was kind of like the Hollywood Mr Bean. it was all pretty bad. it might have tipped him over the edge actually.

H-O-W-L

Ah don't be like that, the Hollywood Mr. Bean movie was miles better than any of Linehan's solo-drafted shite. Not least because Peter MacNicol plays the best victim of Bean's antics ever. If you watch it like it's a disaster movie (as it was billed) it's a fantastic piece of terror. Plus, the "fixed" version of Whistler's Mother is prrrobably the funniest visual gag in the Bean canon?

I'd watch it over Holiday any day.

Icehaven

I've not been following this very closely but having glanced across the general jist, does he get as much of a bee in his bonnet about female-to-male transitioning or does he mainly go on about male-to-female because that fits his justification that he's trying to "protect" women?

Sonny_Jim

I think he had a grumble about a FtM porn star, but only because that fitted his 'It's all a fetish' worldview.

Dr Rock

None of the TERFs care about ftm, even though if they had their way with toilets they be sending 'biological women' into mens toilets, where they may not pass and get raped or whatever they think happens.

stonkers

He does give out about healthy young breast tissue, recently in relation to Elliot Page. In TERFdom trans women are all predatory fetishists, trans men have all been tricked into mutilating and drugging themselves by the evil trans lobby.

So those who he/they consider to still be women don't know their own minds. For such a staunch feminist he doesn't credit women with much agency does he?

Oh just telling on themselves the whole time. Elliot Page can't possibly have made an informed decision at the age of 34, because women[nb]Obvs Page is a man now and I'm not saying he isn't. This is what TERFs think.[/nb] are weak and vulnerable to mindwashing by the Evil Trans Agenda.

I think Glin-glon hurrawked in his whine-fest about Neil Gaiman that prominent FtMs and in particular Elliot Page are i n f l u e n c i n g   v u l n e r a b l e   y o u n g   g i r l s to transition.

I was going to add a line here about Glinner telling Buck Angel to use the women's bathrooms but Buck is such a fucking boomer he probably half-agrees with Glinner on some points.

They're mainly concerned about butch flight and lesbians disappearing.

sophie.pilbeam

Graham also thinks that bi people stop being bi if they transition.

(Not only does this make absolutely no sense, but so many people I know became bi/pan after transitioning)

I think people assume Elliot Page is still the same age as in Juno, which was actually 14 years ago, rather than being cursed with eternal youth.

You know I did think the infantilising stuff was a bit odd and, yeah, when they talk about Eliot Page they're thinking of the character from that film from the 2000s aren't they, fucking idiots.

Jumblegraws

When he was starting on Nicola Coughlan, he similarly talked to and about her as though she were her Derry Girls character and not a woman in her thirties. Although tbh even if she was an actual teenager he still would have come off as a patronising creep.

JamesTC

I don't think it is an age or perception thing. I just think he is a sexist. He talks down to women (or people who he sees as women) a fair bit more than he does men. And he talks down in a much more condescending way.

That's not even how you spell Cthuloid.

There is just too much going on for him to spell correctly.

it's odd how glonholm is so very very fond of this term of phrase in a way that i've never seen before. it's always what's been going on

it's so arrogantly self assured and faux-authoritative

Povidone

Who has time for spelling, not accidentally committing libel or having a loving family when you have to deal with the TRA menace? There's cakes needing sent to strangers in Glasgow for christ's sake!
