GRAHAM LINEHAN’S ARREST HEAPS SHAME UPON BRITAIN:
Graham Linehan had only just stepped back on to UK soil when he was apprehended by five armed police officers. The comedy writer – known for Father Ted, The IT Crowd and his unflinching gender-critical activism – says he was arrested, locked in a cell and interrogated by police yesterday, immediately after landing at London Heathrow.
His crime, he says, was to have spoken his mind – one of the most serious offences you can commit in the eyes of the British state. During his interrogation, he claims he was asked to explain three supposedly offensive tweets, posted back in April, mocking trans activists and their attempts to invade women’s spaces.
In one tweet, he joked: ‘If a trans-identified male is in a female-only space he is committing a violent, abusive act. Make a scene, call the cops and if all else fails, punch him in the balls.’ In another, he described an image of a trans-activist march as a ‘photo you can smell’. In a follow-up tweet, he said: ‘I hate them. Misogynists and homophobes. Fuck em.’
Linehan’s belief that men aren’t women is based on biological truth. It is the view of the overwhelming majority of British citizens. It has been upheld by the UK Supreme Court. It is also a protected belief in the workplace under the Equality Act. Yet none of this seems to matter to the UK’s thoughtpolice. According to Linehan’s account, a trans activist claimed offence and so the Met swooped in, acting as the personal goon squad of the mad, bad and sad.

She is also anxious. Attention from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement could upend her life more than 23 years after she illegally crossed the U.S.-Mexico border as a teenager.
“The worry is they’ll pull you over when you’re driving and ask for your papers,” said Lidia, who spoke to The Associated Press on condition that only her first name be used because of her fears of deportation. “We need to work. We need to feed our families and pay our rent.”

WHEN THE NEWS REVEALS THE TRUTH, IT’S OFTEN AN ACCIDENT: CNBC Just Spilled the Awful Truth About California. “With California’s $4 trillion gross domestic production, Gov. Gavin Newsom likes to boast that his state is the world’s fourth-largest economy. But a new CNBC report by Kate Rogers reveals more than it meant to about how ‘Trump’s immigration policy threatens key sectors’ of Newsom’s state.”

The Linehan crash.
My theory is that American posters have made UK free speech such a huge issue in the U.S. – where all the capital lives – that the UK’s pro-censorship posture is capable of materially degrading the country’s economic position. https://t.co/gIXv9HEcvV

Nigel Farage will raise the arrest of Graham Linehan when he meets allies of Donald Trump to discuss free speech in Washington this week.
Linehan, the comedy writer, was arrested by five armed officers at Heathrow airport over gender-critical posts on social media.
The co-writer of Father Ted and the IT Crowd said he was detained “like a terrorist” and locked in a cell for making jokes online.
His case has triggered a backlash, with critics including JK Rowling, the Harry Potter author, branding his detention “utterly deplorable”.
Actually, she said a bit more than that:

DISPATCHES FROM THE BLUE ZONES: WA businesses preparing for new retail sales taxes to hit consumers Oct 1.
According to the Washington Department of Revenue, new business activities impacted by the tax include advertising services, live presentations, information technology services, custom website development services and more.
“Not only is it going to be a significant new tax on a whole host of things, but it’s so poorly defined….you know, food, gas, housing, childcare, healthcare, it’s all getting taxed,” Sen. John Braun, R-Centralia, told The Center Square. “It’s all going to accrue to a higher cost of living for Washingtonians across the state. And that’s bad, that’s really bad.”
In an Aug 22 commentary, Braun wrote, “The sales-tax hike isn’t the largest of the tax increases that will hit when October arrives. That title belongs to the jump in the business-and-occupation tax rate, which is expected to take another $5.6 billion from Washington employers over four years.”
Braun noted the Washington DOR typically has months or longer to spell out exactly how new taxes will impact businesses. This year, majority Democrats rushed through major tax hikes in the final days of the 2025 legislative session, giving the department little time to provide details.
“Normally what you’d see is the Department of Revenue going through a formal rulemaking process with input from tax professionals saying, ‘OK, what about this, and what about this? How do I give advice to my clients on this to make sure that they collect it?’” said Braun.
Braun said the tax on “presentations” leaves a lot of room for interpretation.
“That could be entertainment. It could be education. It could be a safety brief or driver training. All that stuff under this broad law that could be taxed,” said Braun.
The Tax Foundation ranked Washington state at 35th place in its business tax climate index for 2024. This new ought to help push them down into the bottom quintile.

CRIME FACTS NEWSOM MISSED: Issues & Insights (I&) dug into the crime data for America’s major urban areas and found some facts that ought to be on the front page of the New York Times, Washington Post and throughout the Mainstream Media:
- Of the 20 cities with the highest homicide rates in the country, 14 are located in blue or purple states.
- Just one of the remaining six currently has a Republican mayor – Dallas’ Eric Johnson – and he was twice elected as a Democrat, and switched to become a Republican in his second term.
- The remaining five cities, despite being in red states, have been under Democratic control for years, if not decades.
There’s more, much more, in this much-needed fact-based corrective to pretty much everything being claimed about crime by the like of California Gov. Gavin Newsom, Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson and the Democratic leadership on Capitol Hill.
GRAHAM LINEHAN: I just got arrested again. “I arrived back in London to discover the UK is still a police state run by trans activists.”
Something odd happened before I even boarded the flight in Arizona. When I handed over my passport at the gate, the official told me I didn’t have a seat and had to be re-ticketed. At the time, I thought it was just the sort of innocent snafu that makes air travel such a joy. But in hindsight, it was clear I’d been flagged. Someone, somewhere, probably wearing unconvincing make-up and his sister/wife’s/mum’s underwear, had made a phone call.
The moment I stepped off the plane at Heathrow, five armed police officers were waiting. Not one, not two—five. They escorted me to a private area and told me I was under arrest for three tweets. In a country where paedophiles escape sentencing, where knife crime is out of control, where women are assaulted and harassed every time they gather to speak, the state had mobilised five armed officers to arrest a comedy writer.

KRUISER’S MORNING BRIEFING: J.K. Rowling Might End Up Canceling Cancel Culture All on Her Own. “Rowling has been giving a years-long master class in how to deal with the lunatic leftist ‘you will be made to care’ idiots who insist that men can menstruate and have babies. They’ve done everything that they can to cancel her and poison her legacy, repeatedly harassing her online, spewing the venom that we’ve all come to expect from the tolerant leftists. Rowling handles them all with good cheer and a rapier wit.”

CIVIL RIGHTS UPDATE: Delaware Superior Court Strikes Down Gun Ban Aimed at 18-21 year olds. “Article I, Section 20 of the Delaware Constitution enshrined the right of citizens to “keep and bear arms for the defense of self, family, home and State, and for hunting and recreational use.” At a minimum, some provisions of HB 451 infringe on the right of a subsection of adults, aged eighteen to twenty, to exercise their right to ‘defense of self, family, home and State.’ Accordingly, those provisions violate the Delaware Constitution and are unenforceable.”
