Graham Linehan
created
Father Ted,
my vote for
the greatest Irish comedy of all time.
So it was disappointing when I first saw him on Twitter in the 2010s.
He was a woke leftist with confident and appalling ideas.
Later, in 2020, he was cancelled
by his former leftist friends.
He then went on a journey.
He ended up apologising for some of his former behaviour.
I now regard him as
a man of honour.
Even if we still disagree on some topics, he is a believer in free speech and debate.
And he has paid a huge price for defending women's rights.
Graham Linehan
is
excited by Michael D. Higgins' performance in his
debate on Israel
against Michael Graham.
He is impressed by Higgins' ignorant anti-Israel bullshit.
From
here in Aug 2012.
Graham Linehan in 2012 promotes Hugo Chavez,
the Marxist thug who destroyed Venezuela.
From here.
In Dec 2016, I had a personal encounter with Linehan.
I ended up trying to get him to condemn Hamas.
Incredibly, he would not.
This
encounter
happened in response to a
hideous article
by Nesrine Malik
in the Guardian on 11 Dec 2016, complaining that the media gives a platform to Nigel Farage.
I'm not sure what's wrong with Farage.
Leftists don't like him I guess.
They're often the same people who defend giving platforms to genuine extremists like
Jeremy Corbyn
and
Ken Livingstone
and
George Galloway.
I give more details
about the Guardian
publishing Hamas, and the bizarre double standards.
Surely lefties could at least agree that Hamas is worse than Farage?
Many people
hate their normal parliamentary opponents
more than they hate actual genocidal dictators and terrorist killers.
Such people are not serious.
I thought Linehan would say something like:
"I hate Farage, but of course I also hate Hamas, who are jihadi scum".
But much to my surprise, he didn't.
Despite being asked repeatedly by multiple people,
he refused to condemn Hamas.
He declared Farage was a "cunt"
and
a "racist",
but when asked to condemn actual racists
(who say Jews are bacteria)
he said
it was "complex".
He then suggested
there is something wrong with being anti-jihad.
Yes he actually said this.
He never condemned Hamas, or jihad.
He tried to change the subject a few times
and then asked me to untag him.
Incredible stuff.
How sorry I am to have seen this.
Hamas came into the
Shefi family
bedroom in April 2002.
At point blank range, they shot a 5 year old child dead.
They also shot her 4 year old brother.
These were not errors.
The Shefi children were the targets.
Graham Linehan has no problem condemning a democratic politician he doesn't like,
but he finds it too "complex" to condemn Hamas.
"Count Dankula"
is a comedian who was, incredibly,
prosecuted in the UK for a Nazi joke in 2018.
Also incredibly, Linehan supported his cancellation/prosecution for a Nazi joke.
This is despite the fact that Linehan himself made Nazi jokes.
Linehan furiously attacked
"Count Dankula"
and anyone who supported him.
This is despite the fact that Linehan himself made Nazi jokes.
Nazi jokes in
Father Ted episode in 1998.
Despite himself making Nazi jokes,
the co-author of Father Ted,
Graham Linehan, decided
"Count Dankula" should be cancelled for his Nazi joke.
Graham Linehan is a comedian.
He laughed at another comedian getting prosecuted for making jokes.
Graham Linehan made Nazi jokes.
He laughed at another comedian getting prosecuted for making Nazi jokes.
So was Graham Linehan just really prissy about offensive speech and Jews?
Not really.
Apart from making Nazi jokes himself,
he
refused to condemn genocidal anti-semites Hamas,
despite being repeatedly asked.
Linehan loved cancelling people.
Here he joins the vile cancel mob against
Kevin Myers
in 2017, with this foul libel.
Shame on Linehan.
After being cancelled, Linehan became disillusioned with the woke mob.
He ended up producing this impressive video in 2022:
An apology to Count Dankula for his former behaviour.
Well done.
One of the most honourable things I have seen on the Internet.
After this, I finally started following Glinner.
Though we still do not agree on all topics.
And he really also needs to apologise to Kevin Myers.
