Five armed police officers have arrested Irish sitcom writer Graham Linehan at London’s Heathrow Airport over social media posts deemed to be “anti-trans” by the UK’s socialist government.
Linehan, best known for creating the hit TV shows “Father Ted” and “The IT Crowd,” says he was treated “like a terrorist” over a series of gender-critical posts on X.
The 57-year-old Irishman was detained as he stepped off an American Airlines flight from Arizona to London.
According to Linehan, police informed him he was “under arrest for three tweets.”
