For the past few years, every time I've heard of someone being cancelled, I've automatically gone and followed them. Someone being cancelled today is a cue to me that I need to listen to this person and ignore the person doing the cancelling. I thank the annointed class for helping me with this.
Yes! Was talking about this the other day! This is what’s loads have learned the past few years & it gives me hope! Remember, if it was all hopeless they wouldn’t be putting so much effort into propaganda & silencing their opposition!
Thats so cool! Graham Linehan is such a lovely bloke that I really hate these AGP pretend Trans people for doing this. Thank goodness people are seeing the light now and soon all these 'woke' would-be Karens will be back in eternal obscurity where they all belong. I really hope ALL of them have horrible lives for the damage they have done to ordinary, decent people and for the damage to women's sports, women's rights, gay people, genuine trans people and for the children whose future lives have been ruined by their idiot ideas.
You can see how much this toxic ideology has had on Grahams mental and physical health. He has been completely vindicated and should hold his head high. I do hope, over time, he regains his health and career, he so deserves it along with many others.
Posy Parker, Graham Linehan, JK Rowling, Helen Joyce, Mr Menno, EDI Jester, and all the brilliant, genuine, courageous people who have given everything and inspired others to stand up against bullying and corruption, make me feel incredibly proud.
Love them all 😊 They held the line even when all the horrid evil trolls bombarded them with insults…absolutely shameful that Graham lost so much, but he will be vindicated and those responsible will reap what they sow!
Maybe we didn't need it, but other people, especially people in related industries, really do need it, to support them in doing what they know, as professionals, to be right.
@@hopehopingAgree. What I find disturbing is deep down everyone knows right from wrong yet the majority have remained silent knowing this and for so long. One of the biggest tragedies is most of this was preventable if people had principles and/or felt empowered to speak the truth.
I don't know where I got the information from but I knew long before the Cass report was published that puberty blockers cause sterility. It may be from the people who were using them for their intended purpose, to slow down precoscious puberty. The people who believed they should be given to children without their parents being told should be sued by any affected parents for what they have done.

“Don’t tell children that they could be born in the wrong body. Because they are children, and they will believe you.” Graham, thank yo7 for speaking up for women and children.
I just wanted to post this bit, before I read your comment. This line will stick with me. I kept saying, that you have to live a bit of your life, before you can change it in such a drastic way. The way Graham put it is perfect and I'll always add that to my thought.

Now the Cass report has come out in England confirming that the NHS were practicing unproven treatments on children so hopefully people will now open their eyes.

Met Glinner in Dublin at a Let Women Speak event with Kellie Jay Keen. Glinner stood to have his photo taken with so many of us women ...so patiently, so good humouredly...a real gent.... Love u Graham. I know some ppl too who have endured the same bullying, myself included... for speaking out but really, they are cowardly bullies who NEED to virtue signal ad nauseum...
I like Graham because he is self-admittedly a flawed human being who has been naive or self-righteous on occasion, made plenty of mistakes, recognised them and apologised/made amends when he has realised he has been wrong or unfair. I have every faith in him that he will continue to do this. Those who double down on proselytising falsehoods when confronted with evidence as to the truth of a particular issue or circumstance are the real villains. The vexed matter of captured legacy media closing down free speech for fear that people may tell truths, discuss tricky issues and come to new conclusions is at the heart of all of the 'Trans' non-debate and all of the other current 'hot topics' declared 'settled science'. In all of these matters the suppression of factual, evidenced information which goes against the promoted and prevailing narrative is savagely attacked and those who speak out are shamed and silenced on as many platforms as possible, their livelihoods and personal lives demolished in every nasty way activists can dream up. Activists always justify their dispicable behaviour as 'He/she deserved it and brought it on themselves by blasheming against our holy writ'.

This is the best interview of Graham I have heard in years. He sounds well, relaxed, articulate. Thank you Australia - you are looking after GL very well!
Not just capture, but wholly and profoundly captured! And we all fund it. I have an old person (83 years old) who I’ve been volunteer caring for for ten years. “She” has been cross dressing for her entire adult life and does use female pronouns in the same way drag queens do. Fairly recently a young, LGBTQ journalist from the ABC interviewed her and told her she was trans and born in the wrong body. And coached her to say those things and then quoted her as saying them. When I read the article I called her and said “you have never ever told me you are trans or acted feminine or ever told me you wanted to be a woman or believed you were a woman. And we have discussed your cross dressing for TEN YEARS. Why did you tell the journalist you were trans and had gender dysphoria?” She said “I didn’t… or I don’t think I did. Maybe I did…” (she’s 83 and quite feeble minded). I wrote to the ABC demanding evidence that she said those things and they refused to provide it. They did agree to make a small change to remove the reference to her saying she was born in the wrong body. They also said she was gay! She’s not!! She’s a straight cross dressing old man!! They refused to acknowledge that their journalist and the team who reviewed the article had a bias and a political agenda. Or that they had coached and confused an old and vulnerable person. In the last couple of years, I’m noticing more and more LGBTQ groups wanting to speak to this mini-celebrity old “trans” person, teaching her gender politics and coaching her in the lingo and the ideology.
God bless you, Graham Linehan, for standing up to the howling mobs. As a sixty-year old who belongs in what is now-called the LGBT-community, I have to say that the last few years have been also hell for my friends and I. We have also been attacked for who we are during this insane onslaught by what we see as disadvantaged and disillusioned white males.
Maybe but he’s so hostile and dehumanising to anyone in his path who eg happens to be trans, it’s just sad to talk about humans like how he does who r caught in the crossfire
@@nvna1111perhaps if more people had questioned the trans ideology earlier there wouldn’t be so many children who would have been subjected to an unregulated and unmonitored medical experiment. There won’t be so many young people de-transitioning with mutilated bodies who are infertile and will never experience an organism. Before you criticise Linehan perhaps you’d care to reserve some judgement for the medical professionals at the Tavistock clinic who joked about “trans ing the gay out of kids” and that the rate they were working there “wouldn’t be any gay kids left”
This man is a total hero of our generation. Today in Manchester (UK) I saw a trans rights protest in the city centre - 10 people maximum... I think the message is starting to seep into the brains of the blue-rinsed that behaving as they have will only end one way - and that they will have damaged a huge number of children on the way.
I'm sorry you had your life upended because you spoke the truth, Graham. The frustrating thing is that all of these people, who were in fact on the "wrong side of history" will never be called to account for their bullying, violence, hatred and abuse.
People like Germaine Greer are partly to blame for things like this. She spent her career deconstructing sex and gender roles. Now she is complaining about sex and gender being deconstructed entirely. A truly, dumb woman.
I hope this is a sarcastic comment? GG has done untold damage to society as a long time misandrist and radical woemynist! Feminism has been the most destructive ideology on Western society in the past 60 years. It has torn it apart and the gender wars have never been as toxic. The less we hear from her the better … 🤡😵💀
24:35 correction, society and social media have been infecting kids with trans ideologies not the parents, parents are frequently getting told they can either have a trans son or trans daughter or a dead child as suicide is the most likely outcome. I've seen the parents try and stop the gender affirmative care only to be challenged with loss of custody. Truth is puberty is a very vulnerable time and this interview is right, ideas can act as a contagion. We have seen it with anorexia and self-esteem issues from peer pressure.
One question I'd like to ask those that advocate for "trans women" to be allowed into women's sports is this simple question: "Why do we have women's sports versus men's sports?" It's a fundamental question that I think the advocates would have a hard time answering without undercutting their argument.
@@Kelsea-im8ob I think I've heard all the arguments. If you find a good one in favour of men in women's sports, changing rooms, prisons etc. let me know.
@@ribbonsofnight They're all terrible, but some of them are more complicated. Like "hrt puts men in the range of some women, so it's unfair to exclude them," or "if they're really women, it doesn't matter if all the winners are trans, they're still women so there's no issue." They use "You're a bigot" to shut you up, but it's no use getting sloppy, they say other things too.
Anybody that could write the masterpiece “Father Ted” is alright by me and especially one that speaks up against pure deviant idiocy. Love this guy!! ❤
He owes a lot too. He spent a lot of time as a fully paid-up member of the cancel culture left, tried to ruin a lot of good people and only changed his position when his own side eventually turned on him.
@@marcwilliams9824 That's what I believe gish-gloppers call "a learning moment". There's nothing inherently "evil" with being mis-informed or having bad opinions. The real test comes with the arrival of enlightment and/or consequences , and how you deal with that. Graham Linehan has dealt with it the right way from what I can tell, and deserves to be respected for that. Put the past behind you and press forwards to correct your past errors. That's pretty much a classic arc right there.
Graham, you are a brilliant writer, thank you so much for “My lovely horse” Father Ted and the It lot. We used to be able to have an opinion on stuff and discuss it.
Oh my goodness this man has been broken. It’s so sad what extremists have done to him and his family. I can’t believe his wife didn’t stand by him. Insanity. People need to have more grace for each other and the people that attack whistle blowers truth tellers and their families should be put on watchlists.
Really? Most woemyn bail on their husbands when things go sour these days. Being a bachelor is the only safe option for any sane, self respecting man … 😎
That absolutely stinks, about the Australian government delaying the visa. One more indication that the department, as well as the politicians, needs to be overhauled.
Im halfway through. So lovely to hear a bit more about Graham. I've been following him right through, including moving to his emails when he was cancelled on Twitter. #GrahamWasRight
The absolute insanity of the last few years will remain a stain on our history and on those maniacs who supported the madness. So many who were ruined in the process (such as Linehan) are right to have us all remember the foulness of what those people have done.
Thank you Quilette for having this hero. He has paid such a high personal and professional price simply for standing up for the right of women, children, and gay people.
I was one of the people who believed this. I’m in a Blue State in the US. This may be one of the biggest cover-up of this time. We are still being ordered to Obey up here in Washington State.
Yep look at all the kids mostly bio girls who were 12 or 13 in 2020. I didn't obey and I've had no power as a parent since 2020. Oh and now my daughter is finally seeing I was right.. but sure I should've given in and let her be on blockers and hormones... then I would've been a 'good mother' it's all a mess
You have massive support Graham, one day your show will go on in theatres and we'll come and see it. You were always right and one day the likes of Graham Norton might apologise to you
Just found you Quillette. Loved Black Books. The fight is real in and around the trans gender/militant pushing idealogues. More recently i responded to local council and their invite to say what you think about policy, etc. So, about inclusive issues on a policy designed to have girls given equal access to sports facilities and equal rights in sports. I decided to actually read the policy. Found it to be fluff and vague to the point of indicating girls would get what they need BUT the wording was involving the * others in this and my alarm bells went off. So, I stated clearly that unless there are assurances that no man who thinks he is a woman can have access to womens locker rooms then the wording has to be changed. Others need provision for their own spaces!
It's hard for commonsense to prevail when governments, news media, corporations, and celebrities are promoting and shoving these fallacies down our throats and scaring good people into silence and acquiescence. Unfortunately, many people will have to suffer if we want to get society back to sanity.
Forget Sir Linehan... I am pushing for St. Linehan. Looking forward to Fr.Ted stage show, if it ever happens. And more importantly, I hope Graham is allowed to bring to life his comic genius for the masses.
It is so upsetting to hear Graham speak about his experience. The terrible behaviour of those close to him is utterly unforgivable. What has happened to human empathy?
Ricky Gervais is much more than "anri-woke" his declarations in After Life about human values and the importance of integrity in relationships were pretty profound I think he did some antiwoke standups to create room for people like Graham.
The huge number of feminists who have been calling out gender ideology well before Graham Linehan even knew this was an issue were right. Thanks to Graham for picking it up, but let's give credit where credit is due.
Feminism has caused more damage collectively to society than anything else in the past 60 years, so feminists have nothing positive to be crowing about …
Thank you Graham. Hope The Cass report will help with ongoing discussions I have with my captured daughters (in their 20’s) Yes greatest medical scandal along with mandated mRNA vaccines.
Wikipedia has given the wrong date of birth for my father since he died in 2001. Apparently I remain an unreliable source in this matter. Absolutely nothing to do with gender and everything with glib cliquiness.
@@herlibrarianship It is good to see when someone has managed to force Wikipedia to admit some things. Rotherham child exploitation scandal is up there now. Tavistock scandal will look like that soon enough.
I never fell for it, I fought teachers and one therapist against affirming my daughter as a boy even though she was diagnosed with aspergers ...I am glad I did my research ....the whole thing is abusive ...well done father teds ace x keep going ...this will go down in history as an absolute disgrace x
The way Graham has been treated by his old ‘friends’ is a complete disgrace. Showbiz really is full of shallow selfish people. Bit we all know that, didn’t we… they just had to show their true colours again.
25:00 "how will parents respond when they realise they've possibly harmed their children?" A lot of munch by proxy mums will feel like they've lost the golden goose.
Helen Joyce talked about this and stated the parents will never be able to admit they were wrong. Doctors involved will never admit they were wrong either as it would make them liable to criminal proceedings
It’s inspiring to see real integrity, you can see it has taken its toll on him. Yes we really hope Father Ted the musical will happen, I’ll be in the cue for tickets
Loved that episode from the IT crowd, it was funny then and it’s funny now Graham, it’s called having a sense of humour. Can’t wait for your next project and neither can my kids who are teenagers and also love your shows.
I think Graham is great - watched numerous interviews with him recently and each time i feel more supportive of him and his stance on this issue - i will be ordering his book online for sure 🤗🤗
Totally. Just a magnificent watch. And great to see Sydney streetscapes, Botany Bay and non-descript outer urban Sydney bushland on our screens. Not to mention Australian accents. Local art is important.
Graham Linehan showed me the way, four years ago, followed by all the others listed in the comments below. I'm so grateful to him. I prefer Seinfeld to Curb Your Enthusiasm, which was too cringe at times.
I love Father Ted and have a lot of time for Glinner, but he should start every interview like this by acknowledging he bought into cancel culture himself before the intersectional left shat on him, happy enough to be in the tent pissing out on others like when he tried to destroy Count Dankular of the Nazi Pug joke, even going so far as to call for him to lose his Go Fund Me for his legal fees. For all that im so glad to see Glinner accepted and welcomed by those on the right. 😊
I am very upset about has happened to Graham. It takes some kind of strength to stand up for what you believe despite the fact your nature isn't confrontational. Oh and he's right about Mr Inbetween
Thank you for standing up from the beginning Graham! You are a hero. I think people need to realize that this didn't pop up out of nowhere. This was funded and supported by our institutions from the get go.

There won’t be so many young people de-transitioning with mutilated bodies who are infertile and will never experience an organism. Before you criticise Linehan perhaps you’d care to reserve some judgement for the medical professionals at the Tavistock clinic who joked about “trans ing the gay out of kids” and that the rate they were working there “wouldn’t be any gay kids left”
It is written. ❤
@@nvna1111Fighting a toxic ideology politely is not very effective.
This man is a total hero of our generation. Today in Manchester (UK) I saw a trans rights protest in the city centre - 10 people maximum... I think the message is starting to seep into the brains of the blue-rinsed that behaving as they have will only end one way - and that they will have damaged a huge number of children on the way.
I hope you’re right!
lol your lying, I was at that protest we had at least a couple hundred, transphobes like you need to touch grass
I'm sorry you had your life upended because you spoke the truth, Graham. The frustrating thing is that all of these people, who were in fact on the "wrong side of history" will never be called to account for their bullying, violence, hatred and abuse.
Halfway through and im hoping that great Australian, Germaine Greer, who called this out before anyone will be given honourable mention
People like Germaine Greer are partly to blame for things like this. She spent her career deconstructing sex and gender roles. Now she is complaining about sex and gender being deconstructed entirely. A truly, dumb woman.
I hope this is a sarcastic comment? GG has done untold damage to society as a long time misandrist and radical woemynist! Feminism has been the most destructive ideology on Western society in the past 60 years. It has torn it apart and the gender wars have never been as toxic. The less we hear from her the better … 🤡😵💀
Thanks to everyone giving this brilliant guy a platform 🙏
So proud of Graham book is brilliant highly recommend
Yes, so worth the read.
Is it being stocked in bookshops? Or are bookshops discouraged from stocking it?
So very nice to listen to an articulate woman and man.
👉🏽 *Who aren't afraid to speak up about this specific topic!* 👈🏽
This is a lovely young woman, in many ways.
Thanks Quilette, brave guy
Good to see Graham looking and sounding much more like his old self. The world needs more Graham Linehans and fewer transactivists.
24:35 correction, society and social media have been infecting kids with trans ideologies not the parents, parents are frequently getting told they can either have a trans son or trans daughter or a dead child as suicide is the most likely outcome. I've seen the parents try and stop the gender affirmative care only to be challenged with loss of custody. Truth is puberty is a very vulnerable time and this interview is right, ideas can act as a contagion. We have seen it with anorexia and self-esteem issues from peer pressure.
Don't forget the Salem Witch Trials in America
One question I'd like to ask those that advocate for "trans women" to be allowed into women's sports is this simple question: "Why do we have women's sports versus men's sports?" It's a fundamental question that I think the advocates would have a hard time answering without undercutting their argument.
Apparently it’s just for fun when it’s for women and ‘inclusivity’. 😂
We've been hearing their answer for more than a decade. They've been very specific and consistent. Their answer is "YOU'RE A BIGOT" "No debate"
@@ribbonsofnightit's easy to ignore the more detailed arguments, but its not doing you any favors. Best to focus on those too
@@Kelsea-im8ob I think I've heard all the arguments. If you find a good one in favour of men in women's sports, changing rooms, prisons etc. let me know.
@@ribbonsofnight They're all terrible, but some of them are more complicated. Like "hrt puts men in the range of some women, so it's unfair to exclude them," or "if they're really women, it doesn't matter if all the winners are trans, they're still women so there's no issue."
They use "You're a bigot" to shut you up, but it's no use getting sloppy, they say other things too.
Anybody that could write the masterpiece “Father Ted” is alright by me and especially one that speaks up against pure deviant idiocy. Love this guy!! ❤
Of course he was right. He had a backbone to stand up
Glinner is owned so many apologies! HE WAS RIGHT!
He owes a lot too.
He spent a lot of time as a fully paid-up member of the cancel culture left, tried to ruin a lot of good people and only changed his position when his own side eventually turned on him.
@@marcwilliams9824 That's what I believe gish-gloppers call "a learning moment". There's nothing inherently "evil" with being mis-informed or having bad opinions. The real test comes with the arrival of enlightment and/or consequences , and how you deal with that.
Graham Linehan has dealt with it the right way from what I can tell, and deserves to be respected for that. Put the past behind you and press forwards to correct your past errors.
That's pretty much a classic arc right there.
Graham, you are a brilliant writer, thank you so much for “My lovely horse” Father Ted and the It lot. We used to be able to have an opinion on stuff and discuss it.
Google says no
Oh my goodness this man has been broken. It’s so sad what extremists have done to him and his family. I can’t believe his wife didn’t stand by him. Insanity. People need to have more grace for each other and the people that attack whistle blowers truth tellers and their families should be put on watchlists.
Really? Most woemyn bail on their husbands when things go sour these days. Being a bachelor is the only safe option for any sane, self respecting man … 😎
That absolutely stinks, about the Australian government delaying the visa. One more indication that the department, as well as the politicians, needs to be overhauled.
The scary thing is that it could be one bureaucrat or a conspiracy. We can't know.
The current federal government is incredibly woke. The whole overpaid, coddled public service also needs a complete clean out …
Im halfway through. So lovely to hear a bit more about Graham. I've been following him right through, including moving to his emails when he was cancelled on Twitter. #GrahamWasRight
I really enjoyed the interview style, lm a big Graham fan and I thought the interviewer really listened to him and asked good questions.
I appreciate all the work done by Graham Linehan.
Gary was right the first time around. He's a hero!
The absolute insanity of the last few years will remain a stain on our history and on those maniacs who supported the madness. So many who were ruined in the process (such as Linehan) are right to have us all remember the foulness of what those people have done.
One of the most articulate and interesting people. Love listening to him and enjoyed the book.
Thank you for standing up for women’s rights. You are such a brave person.
Thank you Quilette for having this hero. He has paid such a high personal and professional price simply for standing up for the right of women, children, and gay people.
Thanks Graham for standing up for women and children!!
Great conversation with the great Graham L. I will always acknowledge him. Thank you. 🙏 😊
I was one of the people who believed this. I’m in a Blue State in the US. This may be one of the biggest cover-up of this time. We are still being ordered to Obey up here in Washington State.
Same here. From RI
Its alive and well in the sacramento area, these people are in a cult
Yep look at all the kids mostly bio girls who were 12 or 13 in 2020. I didn't obey and I've had no power as a parent since 2020. Oh and now my daughter is finally seeing I was right.. but sure I should've given in and let her be on blockers and hormones... then I would've been a 'good mother' it's all a mess
You have massive support Graham, one day your show will go on in theatres and we'll come and see it. You were always right and one day the likes of Graham Norton might apologise to you
Just found you Quillette. Loved Black Books. The fight is real in and around the trans gender/militant pushing idealogues. More recently i responded to local council and their invite to say what you think about policy, etc. So, about inclusive issues on a policy designed to have girls given equal access to sports facilities and equal rights in sports. I decided to actually read the policy. Found it to be fluff and vague to the point of indicating girls would get what they need BUT the wording was involving the * others in this and my alarm bells went off. So, I stated clearly that unless there are assurances that no man who thinks he is a woman can have access to womens locker rooms then the wording has to be changed. Others need provision for their own spaces!
It's hard for commonsense to prevail when governments, news media, corporations, and celebrities are promoting and shoving these fallacies down our throats and scaring good people into silence and acquiescence. Unfortunately, many people will have to suffer if we want to get society back to sanity.
The best Aussie Feminist surely is Germain Greer who has been sound on the trans issue from the start.
'Father Ted' was a channel 4 show... Not BBC.... Just a lttle correction. 😊.... keep up the good fight Graham. 😊
I’ve always admired Graham Linehan , and love his work.
He can walk tall for standing his ground and will forever be a hero to me .
Graham Linehan backed me up and supported me on Twitter few years back.
He's a good man.
Graham is a brave man with integrity
Graham's a good bloke.
Father Ted wasn't made for the BBC. It was made for Channel 4.
Forget Sir Linehan... I am pushing for St. Linehan. Looking forward to Fr.Ted stage show, if it ever happens. And more importantly, I hope Graham is allowed to bring to life his comic genius for the masses.
It is so upsetting to hear Graham speak about his experience. The terrible behaviour of those close to him is utterly unforgivable. What has happened to human empathy?
Ricky Gervais is much more than "anri-woke" his declarations in After Life about human values and the importance of integrity in relationships were pretty profound
I think he did some antiwoke standups to create room for people like Graham.
Thank you Graham for staying the course in a mad world.
Good interview. Grahame Linehan's book, Tough Crowd, is well worth reading.
The huge number of feminists who have been calling out gender ideology well before Graham Linehan even knew this was an issue were right. Thanks to Graham for picking it up, but let's give credit where credit is due.
Feminism has caused more damage collectively to society than anything else in the past 60 years, so feminists have nothing positive to be crowing about …
Thank you Graham. Hope The Cass report will help with ongoing discussions I have with my captured daughters (in their 20’s) Yes greatest medical scandal along with mandated mRNA vaccines.
Thank you. You have a great interviewing style, and you ask informed, intelligent questions then let him answer. Well done.
Wikipedia has given the wrong date of birth for my father since he died in 2001. Apparently I remain an unreliable source in this matter. Absolutely nothing to do with gender and everything with glib cliquiness.
I no longer EVER go to wikipedia for info. I just scroll on past.
@@herlibrarianship It is good to see when someone has managed to force Wikipedia to admit some things. Rotherham child exploitation scandal is up there now. Tavistock scandal will look like that soon enough.
There should be a support network for abused people like this fine man.
Thank you. Love you Graham xox
I never fell for it, I fought teachers and one therapist against affirming my daughter as a boy even though she was diagnosed with aspergers ...I am glad I did my research ....the whole thing is abusive ...well done father teds ace x keep going ...this will go down in history as an absolute disgrace x
The way Graham has been treated by his old ‘friends’ is a complete disgrace. Showbiz really is full of shallow selfish people. Bit we all know that, didn’t we… they just had to show their true colours again.
25:00 "how will parents respond when they realise they've possibly harmed their children?" A lot of munch by proxy mums will feel like they've lost the golden goose.
Helen Joyce talked about this and stated the parents will never be able to admit they were wrong. Doctors involved will never admit they were wrong either as it would make them liable to criminal proceedings
It’s inspiring to see real integrity, you can see it has taken its toll on him. Yes we really hope Father Ted the musical will happen, I’ll be in the cue for tickets
Why would ANYONE believe anything Wikipedia says? It is always so full of BS.
Loved that episode from the IT crowd, it was funny then and it’s funny now Graham, it’s called having a sense of humour. Can’t wait for your next project and neither can my kids who are teenagers and also love your shows.
Fabulous interview! Big Fan Black Books one if my favourite shows ever! IT and Father Ted great too!! I wish a bright future for Graham!
One of the best comedy writers
Love to Graham!!!
Great interview, well done all 👏
I love Grahames writing but I respect him and adore his integrity, courage and persistence in this very important topic. Thankyou both. Xx
I think Graham is great - watched numerous interviews with him recently and each time i feel more supportive of him and his stance on this issue - i will be ordering his book online for sure 🤗🤗
Mr Inbetween F yes! You’ll watch the whole season in one sitting
Totally. Just a magnificent watch. And great to see Sydney streetscapes, Botany Bay and non-descript outer urban Sydney bushland on our screens. Not to mention Australian accents. Local art is important.
Graham is a legend, and has earned his place in history as one of the heroes of the early 21st century.
I got to meet Graham a few months back in Brisbane. Hes a awesome dude and has the biggest heart
Graham Linehan showed me the way, four years ago, followed by all the others listed in the comments below. I'm so grateful to him.
I prefer Seinfeld to Curb Your Enthusiasm, which was too cringe at times.
Great interview ❤
Ronson has always given me 5 alarm creeps. Think you’ll find an explanation there Graham ❤
A real man - putting it on the line to defend women’s rights
Graham Linehan's big balls are steely as is his integrity. Top man/person.
Didn’t we learn anything from lobotomies? Why do we need to have a repeat of a horrible medical scandal and outrageous abuse of patients?
I love Father Ted and have a lot of time for Glinner, but he should start every interview like this by acknowledging he bought into cancel culture himself before the intersectional left shat on him, happy enough to be in the tent pissing out on others like when he tried to destroy Count Dankular of the Nazi Pug joke, even going so far as to call for him to lose his Go Fund Me for his legal fees. For all that im so glad to see Glinner accepted and welcomed by those on the right. 😊
He has discussed previous behaviour many, many times and apologised for it, including to Meechin himself, who accepted his apology.
He apologised for his behaviour and Dank graciously accepted it.
"Be yourself by changing every possible thing you can change about yourself." is a confusing message to give to kids.
I am very upset about has happened to Graham. It takes some kind of strength to stand up for what you believe despite the fact your nature isn't confrontational. Oh and he's right about Mr Inbetween
Mr In Between is absolutely wonderful. I loved it. The guy who played Ray oozes charisma.
Thank you for standing up from the beginning Graham! You are a hero.
I think people need to realize that this didn't pop up out of nowhere. This was funded and supported by our institutions from the get go.
