When he got off the plane in Heathrow, Linehan was welcomed by five armed officers, who told him that he had been arrested on three positions on X.

“In a country where pedophiles escape conviction, where knife crime is out of control, where women are attacked and harassed each time they meet to speak, the state had mobilized five armed officers to stop a comedy editor for this tweet (and no, I promise you, I don’t do that)”, wrote Linehan.

In one of the messages, Linehan wrote that “if a trans-identified man is in a space reserved for women, he commits a violent and abusive act”. He then said that those who encountered such a scenario should make a scene, call the police or even “hit” the offender.

He said the police asked him about the post, and he explained that it was a serious point expressed with humor.

London metropolitan police would not confirm the identity of the suspect involved in the incident. However, in response to a digital investigation by Fox News on Linehan, a police spokesman said that a man in their fifties had been arrested for suspicion of incentive to violence “compared to positions on X.” Other reports on the arrest have linked this declaration to the incident involving Linehan.

Linehan said the only restriction on his deposit was that it had been forbidden to use X.

“I looked at the condition of liberation under unique surety: I must not go to Twitter. That’s it. No threats, no speeches on the gravity of my crimes-just a legal gagged order designed to stop while I am in the United Kingdom, and a request to which I face another interview in October,” he wrote.

The former comedy writer added that the test had confirmed to him that “the United Kingdom has become a country hostile to freedom of expression, hostile to women and far too accommodating to the requirements of violent, entitled and abusive men who transformed the police into their personal Goon team.”

Creator “Harry Potter” JK RowlingWho was also a frank critic of trans activism, criticized the arrest, writing “what the F — has become the United Kingdom? This is totalitarianism. Very deplorable”.

British reform MP Rupert Lowe said: “Linehan today, you tomorrow. Make your objections known now.”

“Great Britain is now total rigor – a country where we stop the authors of light comedies and question them about their tweets. Neil O’Brien wrote on X after arrest.

The Union of Freedom of ExpressionAn organization dedicated to the defense of freedom of expression, also condemned arrest and promised to support Linehan.

“We do not think that the arrest of Graham or the conditions of imposed bonding were legal. We support it throughout its fight against these absurd allegations and the disproportionate response of the police,” wrote the organization on X.

Lord Toby Young of Acton confirmed to Fox News Digital that the union of freedom of expression would pay for the Linehan legal team.

“Police too zealous of publications on the social networks of the British police transforms the country into international rigor,” Young told Fox News Digital. “It is particularly obvious, given that the police only respond to an offenses of five out of five and that 75% of burglaries were not resolved last year. They take care of our tweets at the expense of the police in our streets.”
