Graham Linehan arrest at Heathrow sparks UK free speech row over social media posts
Kieran Lockhart, Sep, 3 2025
Graham Linehan was arrested at Heathrow after flying in from Arizona, over posts he made on X in April about transgender women and women-only spaces. Police cited an allegation of stirring up hatred on grounds of sexual orientation. He was taken to hospital during questioning and later bailed with a condition not to post on X. The case has reignited debate over free speech, policing, and online harms in the UK.
