It's the only movie where my mates, who I never see movies with, asks to book tickets weeks in advance in the Imax for the experience. In the end there were 10 of us there on release night

Immigration into the UK is now far too low and still plunging. We'll all suffer for it because of the hatred and fear spread online. Seems that's how life works now.

Graham Linehan has such little self-awareness he *really* doesn’t understand how totally unhinged he seems in his ‘woe is me’ batshit crazy ranting! 😬

He’s the ‘cautionary tale’ of what obsessive ‘gender critical’ transphobia leads to: no friends, no life, and spaghetti carbonara for one!
The Telegraph Graham Linehan My trans critics are cowards. Yes, Ardal O'Hanlon - that includes yOu I expected more from my friend of 25 years. But he would rather condemn me than fight for the rights of women and girls I expected more from Ardal. I never thought he would intone the catechism. "I still get on great with everyone," he said in a recent interview with The Times, "though I haven't seen much of the show's creator, Graham Linehan, and am baffled as to why he got involved in the culture wars. I feel sorry for him - he's entitled to his opinions, but the way he presented them made it confrontational. When I read that, I phoned him immediately. When people betray me, I always make the mistake of phoning them straight away. My heart was thumping in my chest as I found his number and gave him a faux-polite, "Hey Ardal, how's it going?". My anger was already boiling. I knew exactly what he would say - the exact same things Bill Bailey said when I phoned him, the exact same things Amelia Bullmore said when I wrote to her. I knew, and I phoned anyway, because I can't help myself. And when he started reading from the same script as all the others, I lost my temper. At some point, Ardal said, "I just disagree with you." I would have said all this to him on the phone, but I was so angry I could not get any of it out. In fact, at one point I said, "You're on my f--ing s--t list." Ridiculous, of course, but unfortunately true. Like Father Ted at the Golden Cleric Awards, I keep a tally of every person who took the easy path and watched me twist in the wind. I can't help it. I remember them all. Tim Heidecker saying I'd gone down a "rabbit hole". David O'Doherty, who didn't have the guts to speak to me. My own brother-in-law publicly calling me insane. Adam Buxton, Jon Ronson, Richard Herring, Stewart Lee. People who knew me, people who had my phone number, people who could have asked, people who assumed the worst because doing otherwise would have exposed them to the same treatment I was receiving. In condemning me, to use Douglas Murray's line, they raise a little flag outside their home so the mob will pass them by. And every time one of them hands a journalist another little quote - another "baffled," another "sorry," another "he's awful, but I hope he's okay" - they get to carry on with their lives while mine gets smaller. None of them

This is the most horrific trophy I’ve ever seen. It looks like a cursed object found in a desert crypt.
Trumps FA peace trophy. Several distorted severed hands reach up from the base trying a grab a floating globe.

We're watching the wholesale burning of every scrap of dignity afforded to trans people in the UK, their rights, their medical services, their employment, their place within society, their bodily functions.

It is a disgrace, and a disgusting stain on the government and media of this country.

Maybe! The fact is the headlines for the interviews he does talks about "leaving NATO". Perhaps he should do more to be clearer if it's leaving folks like me in doubt

There are some truly unhinged bits in the piece about Glasman, as to be expected when dealing with Glasman, but seriously what the actual? That's...one hell of a conflation of terminology.
Even the term “progressive” makes Lord Glasman shudder. His mother died of progressive supranuclear palsy. “Every word of that condition is terrible. She lost all her bodily functions, yet her brain remained intact, leaving her a mute witness to her own demise. It took six years to kill her, and to cure me of any fantasy that ‘progressive’ is desirable.”

This is appalling and what's worse you did it on Transgender Day of Remembrance. Every single person involved in this should be ashamed of themselves.
