Bloody hell, anyone who can get all the way through Lee's "EVERYBODY LISTEN TO ME" list has way more patience than I can boast. What an unconscionable bore.

Graham, I've always thought that you have more talent just in your fingernails alone than Lee could ever dream of possessing. And the same goes for courage, integrity and humanity, as is now perfectly clear.

You're the very best of men & worth a million Lees.

Oh, Graham, it breaks my heart that, people who were once your friends, would rather save their own skin, by publicly, betraying you..... yet another cowardly, Judas.

I've been thinking about you, a lot, lately, I know that you have been criticised by so-called allies.

You are such a good, kind man.

You don't deserve all the 'purity lectures'

Your loyalty, to your dear friend Arty, has been admiral and heart-warming.

None of us is perfect. We can only do our best.

You have done more than most people, at great personal cost.

I'd just like to thank you, from the bottom of my heart for everything you do for women, children, and Gay People.

The time is coming for those who have been complicit in this scandal,

to reap what they have sown. People won't forget who they are, and what they have done.

And we will never forget how much you have done. You are a hero.

I'm so sorry that you have been let down, and hurt, by so many weak people.

The tide is turning.

Onwards and upwards, eh?

Sending lots of love and strength

His "On the Pedestal" list includes Owen Jones?

Oh dear.

Stewart Lee has let himself go.

Dave Chapelle, Ricky Gervais, Graham Linehan? Jealousy, just a bit? What an idiot....

No Richard Dawkins in the pedal bin? Despite him saying the same thing as Graham Linehan? Well there's a fathomless mystery.

It couldn't possibly be that Graham Linehan is social media's 'bigot du jour' while Richard Dawkins is social media's 'Let's-pretend-he-never-said-that-gosh-this-is-awkward' guy...?

He lives in a very right-on borough. He's left wing. He has children that go to a local school that has a handful of girls in each year group that identify as 'trans' or non-binary. He's had to make a choice to continue to be the darling of people like him and not piss off his kids or show some genuine independent thought. He has chosen the former.

What is so very sad is his willingness to trash you in the process. I am so sorry Graham. People who I trusted to just THINK have disappointed me in their tribalism.

No Enemies

by Charles Mackay

You have no enemies, you say?

Alas! my friend, the boast is poor;

He who has mingled in the fray

Of duty, that the brave endure,

Must have made foes! If you have none,

Small is the work that you have done.

You've hit no traitor on the hip,

You've dashed no cup from perjured lip,

You've never turned the wrong to right,

You've been a coward in the fight.

Jeez! Another one? Fucking shit-bag. Trying to curry favour with a bunch of psychos who'll turn on him in a flash (look at Janey Godley!). We won't fucking forget you, mate. Back-stabbing sychophant. Not you or any of your lot - pissing on women's rights, or holding the dicks for those who do.

I am very sorry you have to experience so much betrayal und back stabbing. The struggle around this dangerous ideology seems to show us the spineless, the opportunists, the traitors and, perhaps most of all, the idiots. In those who embrace or passively support trans ideology it reliably brings out the worst. But, to take a more positive look, what remains are the true friends. Always keep that in mind. For your own sake. And for the sake of those who you fight for.

"Trans allies" are cowards who prioritize being liked and accepted by the currently dominant culture over the safety and rights of women and children. No surprise that he wouldn't say a word to you face to face, or even via email. Doing so would take courage and conviction, which he completely lacks.

This is a great rebuttal, but please don't let this plonker take up one more second in your head rent-free. Dust off your hands and move on.

You have really summarized everything very well here, Graham.

This ideology is one feckin betrayal after another- what an utterly pathetic coward this man is.

I was a big fan of his too, but when you support misogynists like OJ and "Ask" Shakar over people like Nimco Ali, there is no joke that will make that humorous. Feel a bit sad about this tbh, I thought he was a better man.

Graham, you are absolutely bloody brilliant. You somehow take all the thoughts I've got buzzing incoherently round my head, and turn them into articulate, thoughtful and witty articles.

This guy need to do some serious research before spouting poison towards a hero of a man who is doing his absolute best to shed light on this toxic issue, ultimately to protect women and children. It is shameful
