Graham Linehan: I’m leaving Britain

To the world of comedy, where it transpires that renowned gender critical activist Graham Linehan is looking for pastures new. The Irish comedian – who worked on Father Ted and The IT Crowd – took to X/Twitter this week to announce he is leaving Britain to move to America after claiming ‘freedom of speech is in bad shape at the moment’ in the UK.

In a video released on Elon Musk’s social media site, Linehan discussed his attempts to dismantle gender ideology and how he received ‘no support’ from his colleagues in the industry in the process. ‘As a result,’ he admitted, ‘I haven’t worked in five years.’ But it’s not all doom and gloom. Linehan announced he has written three episodes of a new sitcom, which he will work on in Arizona in a new production company – alongside non other than actor Rob Schneider and GB News presenter Andrew Doyle.
