When discussing #Linehan getting let off
The BBC deem it appropriate to mention:

"Ms Brooks, who was 18 at the time, is a trans woman who was born a biological male."

Graham Linehan cleared of harassing trans activist but guilty of damaging phone

Comedy writer Graham Linehan "deliberately whacked" a teenage trans woman's phone out of her hand, a court heard.

BBC News
#Linehan has been cleared of harassing a #Trans actavist, Sophia Brooks
I’ve noticed that Irish writers get arrested by armed police for denying the existence of #trans folk, but prime ministers don’t get consequences at all. That’s a bit inconsistent, to my mind.

They're dropping charges against former comic Graham Linehan who said, amongst other things, "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."

Not satisfied with giving this foul person a free pass, the Met Police says it will no longer investigate non-crime hate incidents to allow officers to "focus on matters that meet the threshold for criminal investigations".

The Met's latest move will surely open the floodgates to a rash of online hate speech targeting minorities.

John Tiernan tries to explain on #TrevorPhillips that #Linehan was ordered to attend a British court for harassing a 17 year old girl, but Phillips talks over him

As each week passes, I dislike TP more

On today's ##TrevorPhillips #Linehan clamed he was standing up for women's rights and yet earlier he said it was just a joke "thrown out there"

You can't have it both ways
