Good

He’s also due in court this week for harassment and damage to a mobile phone (which he gleefully admitted on X)

He needs help

I knew it wouldn't take long for some people to feel giddy about this idiotic step towards North Korean-style censorship.

Where have I seen this style before?

Graham Linhehan has a serious twitter addicton and has been posting hurtful bigoted stuff for years, forgive me for not having any sympathy.

His family kicked him out after asking him to stop and he couldn't even do that for them.

He'll play the martyr but hes brought everything on himself.

An Irishman (foreigner) arrested in Britain (ALLEGEDLY) for pretty mundane jokes he posted when he was in the US?

Dear god.

Good? For hurty tweets?

What an embarrassment, even more so when you see the 'offending' tweets. Get a grip.

He has posted far more than 'mundane jokes' but that's not how it will be framed.

Yes, Good. He's been posting and harassing people for years, deserves all he gets.

As I say, he needs help.

Whatever your views on him are, i feel being lifted after getting off a plane by 5 armed police officers for posting some not particularly egregious stuff on twitter, is perhaps, a tad over the top.

Its stuff like this that fuels the (right or wrong) attitude that police aren't on the publics side, and a lot of stuff that isn't in the public interest is getting police resources used.

Reading on his blog, this does seem like a feud with an ex copper who is Trans and weaponizing communication act against Grahame.

Yes i feel he should put down X for a bit, but to have it that he has to not post on twitter by law seems a situation i would rather not see Britain endorsing tbh

Read his X, he's been posting up to 200 tweets a day about this issue for years.

Take your pick.

Wow!

You do know that one day, when the boot's on the other foot, they'll come for you, and some ass will also say 'Good'!

I now remember the reason I stopped frequenting this forum...

Usual suspects in here desperately trying to deafend this government again.

Laughable.

We only have his account of which 'tweets' he has been arrested for by the way, the Police have not released anything.
