The arrest of comedy writer Graham Linehan at London’s Heathrow Airport should terrify every freedom-loving American. Five armed officers dragged away the creator of beloved shows like “Father Ted” for nothing more than posting his opinions online. This is what happens when governments decide they can control what people think and say.
Linehan’s crime was stating the obvious truth that biological men don’t belong in women’s spaces. He called it a violent act when trans women invade female-only areas. For speaking this common sense, Britain’s thought police came after him with guns drawn.
The British government has completely lost its mind. They’re arresting comedians for jokes while real criminals roam free. This is the same country that once gave us Shakespeare and Churchill, now reduced to policing tweets and silencing dissent.
Jonathan Turley got it exactly right when he called this a recipe for disaster. When governments start deciding which opinions are legal, freedom dies. Today it’s transgender posts, tomorrow it could be anything that challenges the woke mob’s agenda.
London’s own police chief admits his officers are in an impossible position trying to enforce these ridiculous speech laws. Even the cops know this is wrong. But they’re forced to follow orders from politicians who hate free expression.
This madness is coming to America if we don’t fight back now. The same radical leftists pushing transgender ideology want to silence conservative voices here too. They’re watching Britain’s playbook and taking notes.
Prime Minister Starmer talks about Britain’s history of free speech while his government destroys it. They declare pro-Palestine groups terrorists while protecting the real threat to society. Their priorities are completely backwards.
Americans must wake up before it’s too late. We cannot let our country become like Britain where speaking the truth gets you arrested. Our Constitution and our values are under attack, and we must defend them with everything we have.
