Graham Linehan tells court trans activists made his life ‘hell’

Graham Linehan said that his life was “hell” by transsexual activists, including someone who was accused of harassing a court.

“They spent trans activities to demonize everyone based on them,” said Bay Linehan, who gave evidence on the second day of the hearing at the Westminster Magistrate Court on Friday. He said.

The prosecution claims that Mr. Linehan has published “brutally” malicious comments about 18 -year -old Sophia Brooks on social media last October.

Father Ted claimed that he was not guilty of harassment and criminal damage charges.

Mr. Linehan said to the court that he was “made to hell by activists, by journalists” because of his views on gender identity, and the hearing “is the last attempt to punish me only with the process”.

He said: “Everyone can choose themselves [transgender] Group … Praid men do this and make police offers … The police believe in them every word. “

He added the Irish comedy writer: “I heard how some people targeted by him were [the complainant]. I am now in a group of eight people who are exposed to various forms of harassment. “

“I felt that he could get rid of many of his activities, because he was almost like a Twitter avatar that swims around without a real connection with the world.”

Regional Judge Briony Clarke, the prosecution of the complainant “confirmed gender names” according to the defendant’s position “complaining man” was a man “.

The hearing heard that Mr. Linehan called the complainant, whom he calls Tarquin, called a “deeply uncomfortable sociopath” and “indigenous terrorist”.

On Friday, he asked why he used “Sociopaths”, Mr. Linehan answered: “Because what he participated in caused great misery to people.”

When asked why he used other insults such as “filth, grooming, homophobic, sadistic,” he replied: “I don’t think there’s something lower than a man who forces a woman.”

Mr. Linehan also said that he had moved from the United States to Arizona six months before he was wasolated because of his views.

“And while I was isolated, the press … He was able to beat me in the dark. This has been for the last eight years. And I chose to leave England.”

Prosecutors said that Mr. Linehan harassed Mrs. Brooks on social media and accused him of a “homophobic attack” by participating in the deterioration of a LGB alliance conference on 11 October 2024, which was released.

Julia Faure Walker, on Thursday, said that their messages “not only disturbing or annoying or annoying, but also oppressive and unacceptable, so that the threshold was harassed,” he said.

Mr. Linehan is also accused of damaging Mrs. Brooks when she tried to confront her on October 19 last year outside the War of Ideas in London.

The prosecution claimed that Mr. Linehan was “deliberately” from the hands of Ms. Brooks’s phone after challenging her while shooting.

A video played in the court showed that Mr. Linehan received the complainant’s phone.

In his evidence, Mr. Linehan said the complainant’s behavior was “incredibly annoying and permanent”.

“My adrenaline got up … I felt angry,” he said. “I took his phone, I put it behind me … I could see that he was angry … Then I threw the phone.”

He said it was a “instinctive” action. “I thought when I did it … It was a mistake.”

The hearing continues.

This hearing is not bound to the allegations that led Mr. Linehan to be very public arrest at Heathrow Airport on Monday.

He said that five armed officers had previously been welcomed by the messages he had previously published about his trans people in X, that he reacted from some public figures and politicians and added a violent debate about policing and free speech.
