Graham Lineham has been added to the list of non-people on Twatter.
Father Ted creator Graham Linehan is the latest high profile user to be suspended from Twitter for after the site said it breached rules on using banned words.
The Irish sitcom writer has been banned for ‘hateful conduct’, including using the word ‘groomer’ in a years old post which was found by trans rights activists after he got embroiled in an argument with them.
It comes a week after Kate Hopkins was banned from Twitter for unspecified violations of its user conduct policy.
Hateful conduct is merely weasel words to describe disagreeing with the orthodoxy. Clearly as in Hopkins’ case “hung like a baboon” constitutes hateful conduct, but threatening to rape her was not?
It’s funny, but when this vile organisation was starting out about ten years ago, my hackles rose. Everything that has happened since has merely served to affirm that shunning it was the right thing to do. I would suggest that being permanently banned by a far leftist echo-chamber is something of a badge of honour.
Jack Dorsey created a monster here. One in his own image, I presume.
Is there a chance that Twitter will either die on its arse or just become an echo chamber for smug deluded lefties?
God, I’d love to see the whole rotten edifice implode on itself taking all the smug, fascistic self-righteous far left scumbags with it. The world will be a better place for their passing.
Become?!
“…an echo chamber for smug deluded lefties” is also what Farcebook is going to become soon, too. And astoundingly it’s being pushed there by virtue signalling multi-Nationals. We’re doomed.

Good. The sooner the weird alien running it is bankrupted the better.
But if Twatter disappears up it’s own backside what will the poor journalists do for copy?
“Emma Bradford Tweeted ‘course there’s gonna be a second wave it’s ‘appening all over the weold* innit’ “.
*(actually a quote from the Jeremy Vine show, that Essex way of pronouncing World).
Twitter may have banned Graham Lineham but not silenced him, he’ll just go to Parler to join Kate, Tommy and others who like free speech with no censorship.
I wouldn’t guarantee that. Lineham has spent years trying to shut down the free speech of the non-woke. It would take quite the Road to Damascus turn around for him to behave as you suggest.
Which isn’t to say that when the gun is suddenly turned on you it can’t be quite the awakening.
