The Irish comedy writer who was traveling with an American Airlines flight from Arizon to London, says he was treated as an “terrorist” After being detained even when he got off the plane, according to the Daily Mail.
Linehan, whose successful career has been ruined by his critical views on gender ideology, claims he was escorted in a private area, where he was told to be “Arrested for three tweets”.
The Metropolitan Police confirmed that the 57 -year -old man was arrested under the suspicion of violence around 1:00 pm yesterday, “In connection with posts on X”.
Is the latest case from a series of police reactions to the police to “Thinking crimes”writers, local councilors and parents being targeted in recent months for messages posted on School WhatsApp groups.
After his arrest, Linehan said he had been taken to emergency “Because stress was about to kill me,” adding that the tension was measured by an assistant over 200 mmHg.
“Give them a punch in the testicles”
The creator of the series Father Ted and The IT Crowd made public the tweets for which he says he was arrested. One, from April 20, said: “If a man identified as Trans is in a space for women, he commits a violent and abusive act. Do scandal, call the police and, if everything fails, give them a fist in the testicles.”

The second Tweet, April 19, was a photo from a trans ship, with the description: “A picture that you can smell.” The third was a continuation of that tweet: “I hate them. Misogini and homophobes. Damn them.”

“When I got off Heathrow, five armed police officers were waiting for me. Not one, not two-five. They escorted me in a private area and told me they were arrested for three tweets.
In a country where pedophiles escape conviction, where crime with knives is out of control, where women are assaulted and harassed every time they gather, the state has mobilized five armed policemen to arrest a comedy writer. I promise you, I do not invent anything ”he told him on his blog on substance.
Arrested “as a terrorist”
He said it was “Arrested on an airport as a terrorist, closed in a cell like a criminal, taken to the hospital because the stress was about to kill me and forbidden to talk online.”.
“For me, this proves one thing beyond any doubt: the United Kingdom has become a hostile country of freedom of expression, hostile to women and too indulgent with the demands of violent, abusive and pretentious men, who have transformed the police into their personal guard.”he added.
Linehan claims that from Arizona was still “marked”: “Even when I taught the passport, I was told that I had no place and I need a reticulation. At that time I thought it was just an innocent blanket, as it happens on the plane travel. But looking back, it was clear that I was on the black list.”
Says he laughed when he saw the cops and that some were even showing a “Polite puzzle” compared to arrest. He states that a van was brought directly to the track “In order not to be walked through the airport like a terrorist.”
“At the Heathrow police station, the belt, my bag and devices were confiscated. I was put in a small cell, with a green tiles, an iron bed, a silver toilet in the corner and a message from Crimestoppers on the ceiling, near a concave mirror, probably to reflect on your decisions.”
The police response
A Metropolitan Police spokesman told the Daily Mail: “On Monday, September 1, at 1:00 pm, the officers arrested a man at Heathrow Airport, after arriving with an American Airlines. The man, over 50, was arrested under the suspicion of violence. This in connection with posts on X.
The arrest was carried out by officers from the MPS aviation unit. It is common for airport officers to wear firearms. They have not been removed or used at any time. After being arrested, the officers were worried about his health and was taken to the hospital. His condition is neither life threatening nor life changers. Now he was released on bail, waiting for new investigations. ”
Linehan is about to be tried on Thursday at Westminster Magistrates' Court for two separate charges: one related to the harassment of Transopher Brooks activist on social networks and another for destroying her mobile phone in October. He denied the accusations at a hearing on May 12.
Last month Linehan accused Jk Rowling of not defending him after he was “canceled” for his critical views on gender ideology.
The Irishman told how he supported the point of view of author Harry Potter related to the SNP law on gender recognition, which he had previously described as “the biggest attack on women and girls in Scotland” during her life.
But he claims that Rowling refused to defend his right to free expression when he was attacked for his transcers of trans -people, saying that her “silence” did to feel it “toxic” and isolated.
