[catherinerobilliard]

Graham Linehan is a great man of integrity as well as comedy. The fact his ex-friends were too cowardly to step forward when he was being thrown to the wolves, while also fighting cancer, says more about them than it does about him.
Thank you Glinner for being man enough to fight for women’s sex-based rights, and against the mutilation of children, mostly gays and lesbians and autistic, which so many people don’t seem to care about.

[MarciaMatthews]

Graham was right that the worst thing about this medical malpractice is nobody much cares about the children and vulnerable adults suffering permanent damage.

[MarciaMatthews]

Dr. Spier is a good host to let Graham spin his tales. I love the sound of his voice.

graham linehan has been an absolute hero for years now, and as people are beginning to accept, #GlinnerWasRight

[MarciaMatthews]

“People don’t want to be lied to.” Glinner

"Not allowed to hear from". He is on a podcast every day.

[richalderson]

It's interesting but perhaps not surprising that a man who is famous for his gift of humour and comedy is at war with a movement that is completely devoid of any kind of humour or ability to laugh at oneself.

[yes_JD]

Graham speaks the truth. In a world full of lies, he's not popular any more. But he is loved by kind people.

[matthijshebly]

Once-funny man turned unfunny bigot and thereby cancelled himself. Nobody except Graham Linehan did this to him.

[phillipmitchell]

What the fuck would Grime know about comedy?

[studione]

"The Funniest Man You're Not Allowed to Hear from" which you are now hearing from on a podcast and constantly in papers and online wow crazy he's been completely shut off from expressing his hateful views now!!!

[Kralex]

Graham needs to stop butchering that Simpsons joke. He has almost every single detail wrong.
