Suzanne Harrington: The UK's treatment of Graham Linehan and Kneecap is a study in contrasts

"Unlike Linehan, in court charged with harassing a trans teenager and smashing their phone (this was before he urged his online followers to physically attack trans people), Mo Chara’s ‘terrorist’ charge involved touching a flag thrown on stage at a gig."

Father Ted co-creator Graham Linehan arrives at Westminster Magistrates' Court, London, during his trial over an alleged harassment of a transgender woman.

‘Ello ‘ello ‘ello, what’s all this then? A prominent member of the British government says that UK police should focus on “streets not tweets”. 

Minister of Hypocrisy Wes Streeting sounds quite pleased with himself. How sensible his declaration makes him sound, and maybe a teeny bit funny too. Streets, tweets. Ha ha.
