(From reporting of the proceedings at Westminster Magistrates Court, it sounds very much like Watson has been directing and influencing […]| Wings Over Scotland
We think transactivists will swiftly come to see yesterday as an epic mistake. Because it looks as though it might just have been the final straw. The public reaction against Graham Linehan’s arrest at Heathrow Airport by five armed officers over a handful of innocuous tweets, which also saw the writer hospitalised, was so loud […]| Wings Over Scotland
