Father Ted creator Graham Linehan is ready to turn his back on Britain forever, claiming police are in thrall to trans activists and free speech is dying. Instead he is looking to live in the U.S. where he will be far way from “nut-jobs.” The Irish citizen made his threat in an interview that came after he was arrested by “armed police” over tweets criticising transgenderism, as Breitbart News reported. It followed his appearance in court Thursday where Linehan, 57, presented himself to face accusations from a transgender teenager in a separate case.
