As the fallout from Graham Linehan’s shocking arrest over tweeted jokes continues, British media have named the man they allege is at the centre of the complaint that got the renowned comedy writer arrested. Surprise, surprise: it’s a serial pest tranny with a long record of making lunatic accusations and vexatious lawfare.
A trans activist at the centre of the Graham Linehan arrest is a disgraced cop behind scores of gender-based legal challenges.
Lynsay Watson, 58, was sacked by Leicestershire Police for branding former officer Harry Miller a woman-beater and a Nazi during an 18-month online campaign.
Watson has also taken legal action against three police forces as well as the British Transport Police Federation, the Police Appeals Tribunal, the Ministry of Defence and free speech campaigners.
In the wake of his arrest, Linehan wrote online: “At one point, I said, ‘I bet I know who made this complaint’. Lindsay (sic) Watson.”
Forbidden from using X as part of his bail conditions, Linehan wrote on his Substack about the arrest:
It was clear I’d been flagged. Someone, somewhere, probably wearing unconvincing make-up and his sister/wife’s/mum’s underwear, had made a phone call [...]
At one point, I said, “I bet I know who made this complaint. Lindsay Watson” (demented ex-copper troon who was fired for his online conduct). Then, lo-and-behold, one of my lawyers sent me this reply to the ‘bollocks’ tweet.
“That weirdo ex copper claims he has reported this to the police and is trying to get other troons to do so. Just FYI.”
Watson is also involved in my OTHER case on Thursday and Friday at London Westminster Magistrates Court. Trans activists are planning to protest, so bring the nose-plugs.
The “‘bollocks’ tweet” is one of the three tweets at the base of Linehan’s arrest: If a trans-identified male is in a female-only space, he is committing a violent, abusive act. Make a scene, call the cops, and if all else fails, punch him in the balls.
Watson was sacked as a police officer after he relentlessly harassed and defamed Harry Miller. When Watson tried to appeal his sacking, the judge outlined his campaign of lies, dubbing him “obsessive, abusive and defamatory”. The judge also noted that Watson used a laundry list of fake accounts.
The Chief Constable concluded that Ms Watson had made derogatory and abusive tweets about the former officer and his colleague and their gender-critical campaign group which lacked respect and courtesy. Further, she found that Ms Watson was identifiable from [her] his tweets as a police officer. When challenged as to [her] his identity, [she] he had variously and falsely stated that [she] he was not Ms Watson; that [she] he was not an employee of Leicestershire Police […] Ms Watson’s conduct was deliberate, repeated and sustained; that it continued despite earlier advice and notices of investigation; and that it seriously undermined the reputation of the police service. On 27 October 2023, Ms Watson was dismissed without notice for gross misconduct.
Tell us again that the Looney-Troons aren’t mentally ill, dangerous creepers.
