To be clear, the above is a parody. Patrick Harvie is, of course, not really that small and the sign’s slogan is actually care of Stonewall’s Nancy Kelly. (UPDATE: I now understand that Moley did not use photoshop on Harvie). The Mrs.Doyles had to do something with their time when the Church fell
"I am with the lesbians who protested at Pride, I am with the parents who are suing the Tavistock, I am with the de-transitioners who are all telling the same stories, I am with the women who have been fighting this and who have been smeared and punched and shat on by people like you, by clueless people like you, Stewart Lee. You're a disgrace. There’s no excuse by now not to understand this issue. We're talking about children at the Tavistock. We’re talking about one thousand families suing them and Stewart Lee can’t bring himself to say exactly what his problem is with J K Rowling or with myself. Say what you’re problem is with us, say where you disagree with our analysis, alright, or shut up and stop saying that cancel culture doesn’t exist. You fucking tool of the establishment.”
"You fucking tool of the Establishment". That's exactly what all these former student union and now BBC/Channel 4-booked comedians really are. Twee, tedious and "golly gosh aren't I whimsical" at one end of the spectrum (your Sue Perkins types), with your 'edgy' but ultimately craven cowards at the other end, your Stuart Lees. They say nothing original, nothing anti-Establishment and arguably their worst crimes, they are boring and unfunny.
Having been in the audience for one of Stewart Lee's Edinburgh Snowflake shows last month (husband is a fan, I agreed to go on his agreement that he'd come to Elaine Miller with me 😂) I can assure you the 'impossible to say the unsayable' section is so unfunny. Literally spends minutes walking around the stage making retching and vomiting noises as if a curse has stopped words emitting from his mouth. So stupid and purposefully missing the point. We know that Ricky Gervais (who he is directly making parody of in this section) is able to get away with saying what is unsayable because he has the privilege of being a man and noone wants to send him rape threats for some reason. The words are unsayable without very negative consequences for women and Graham (which is why your continued dedication and fight is so appreciated)
As someone severely disabled by the parasitical profession, I get angry enough with able-bodied people who sit on their bums all day. But this, I am beyond angry, I just want to tip this dude onto the street.
I’m trying to word this carefully so as not to offend , but I’m hoping that it is things like this rather than big shouty cocks in frocks that cause the tide to turn
I don't know. I can picture a lot of people having sympathy with this entitled fart. But they're probably the same people who have sympathy with big shouty cocks in frocks!
Haha. The ‘double dipping’ self-declared ‘transhandicapped woman’ thinks he’s at the top of the oppressed heap. For now. Just wait. Soon there’ll be a ‘transhandicapped woman of colour’ to topple his identity dreams. And on it goes.
Well said re Stewart Lee. He’s had his chance to figure things out by this stage. I’m very disappointed in how he has become, as you say, an establishment figure.
He's a short termist who only seems to be considering his fame and money at this point. Or maybe his head is just too far up his own backside for him to see clearly.
A psychologist in the states, Joe Burgo, has much to say about shame, how traumatic incidents resulting in shame (from childhood) are a factor in narcissistic personality development. He and Dr. Az Hakeem (recently seen in excellent interview on Arty Morty YT channel) could take down the fallacies of the "true life test" and other steps in so-called transition in a couple of chapters.
The Norwegian in the wheelchair is the perfect example of a man who's messed up and wants everyone around him to be ashamed, because of his unresolved emotional issues.

Graham - I posted the original to my Facebook yesterday with the comment "Patrick Harvie talking shite as usual comparing Trans activism to fighting for gay rights in the 80s. It really is nothing like it Patrick. No one won the right to same sex marriage by getting women fired from their jobs for saying sex was real. Nor did they call Lesbians 'sexual racists', bigots and fascists for refusing to have sex with men who called themselves 'Lesbians'." Today I've posted your email to my Facebook with the comment 'Patrick Harvie really is that small and the real sign said "Transphobia = Fascism". I'll email it to you.
DMs used to be great boots (showing my age now...), but my last couple of pairs (made after the switch of manufacturer) sucked. Heard good things about Solovair.
What a sweet girl, though, - saying sorry when she thinks she's hurt someone, being reasonable and rational, but so unaware that they are impervious to reason and utterly implacable.
Yes- she has been bullied into grovelling and apologising. And how about Jameela Jamil...? She has bent over backwards to be an 'ally' of TRAs- yet now they turn on her so viciously, after she made a valid request for TRAs to be more reasonable in their demands over pronouns. When will people realise the vile fury of these nasty bigots!? And that they will never be satisfied with anything less than complete submission to their ludicrous narcissistic impossible demands?
I'm not sorry for J. I'm just laughing at her getting the shock of the bullies turning on her- when she thought she would be safe, because she had always backed them up. It is great how this situation reveals them up as the bullies they really are! They are suposed to be poor victims- then they show their true vicious character...
I have just been informed that Moley did not, in fact, alter Harvie’s height.
As if I would!
sorry I have to...
"Ok, one last time. These are small, but the ones out there are far away. Small... Far away... Ah forget it.”
😂
This is brilliant 😂
Shame his ego doesn't match his height!
He’s a giant in his own mind
That is the funniest thing Ive heard in a long time.
I bumped in to him on the way to St Giles to see the Queen and he is minuscule!
yes he is that titchy - you should see him standing next to 'Lorna' Slater who is unnaturally tall for a woman.
Bravo Graham!

I’m assuming Elaine was far funnier
So much. Elaine's show was fantastic and absolutely hilarious. We saw her penultimate show and she tackled all the issues there had been head on
What did your husband think about Elaine's show?
Thought it was hilarious (and mortifying at times 😂). I work in women's health so he has a much better understanding of what I do now
I'm so pleased!
The text in the photo here https://grahamlinehan.substack.com/i/71820951/the-rare-daring-double-dip means: "the former male bank manager has two healthy legs - but lives a life as a woman in a wheelchair". 🙈
Insults women and the disabled. Born in the wrong body is such a stupid idea, as if we can just pick and choose! Mentalist!

None of my friends ( some in the snp ) believe this is really going on
Ffs
I may lose some friends !
‘I just wanna be queer in peace’
Be my guest……
Not only do I encourage such a concept - I demand it!

For people who are so obsessed with ‘safety’, 'trans' ideologues sure are willing to put a lot of others in actual danger.

O my goodness , I don’t think I’ve ever seen you so frustrated Graeme
Patrick harvie is a twat , a dangerous one at the moment
Apologies Graham , was texting my friend Graeme at same time !

Stewart Lee is a vicious bully who identifies as a delicate, victimised snowflake. Grotesque.
That poor, silly, lesbian should grow a backbone. Nothing will ever be enough for the trans lot so I am giving them nothing in abundance now.
What a sweet girl, though, - saying sorry when she thinks she's hurt someone, being reasonable and rational, but so unaware that they are impervious to reason and utterly implacable.
i only hope she gets out of this unharmed.
To be clear, Graham, Patrick Harvie really is that small, in intellect as well as height!
That poor, poor girl.
Yes- she has been bullied into grovelling and apologising. And how about Jameela Jamil...? She has bent over backwards to be an 'ally' of TRAs- yet now they turn on her so viciously, after she made a valid request for TRAs to be more reasonable in their demands over pronouns. When will people realise the vile fury of these nasty bigots!? And that they will never be satisfied with anything less than complete submission to their ludicrous narcissistic impossible demands?
I can't feel sorry for Jamil. She's old enough to have known better than to pander to the cult in the first place.
I'm not sorry for J. I'm just laughing at her getting the shock of the bullies turning on her- when she thought she would be safe, because she had always backed them up.
