Graham Linehan speaks to the House of Lords Communications and Digital Committee (Parliament Live)
Graham Linehan was accused of using the House of Lords as a “court of appeal” to overturn his Twitter ban during a discussion on freedom of expression online.
The disgraced comedy writer was invited to speak with the Communications and Digital Committee on Tuesday (9 March) regarding social media conduct policies.
Linehan, who was hit with a permanent Twitter ban last year for “hateful conduct”, was repeatedly reined in by peers as he derailed the discussion with “gender critical” issues.
After pressing to read from a statement he had prepared, Linehan was allowed to speak unbroken for seven minutes on topics ranging from JK Rowling, puberty blockers, his financial problems and his failed marriage.
