How could I forget Moley, who gives the whole affair a touch of class. Sorry Moley!

Just going through a few recent pieces and just noticed this! No problem at all dear boy! You are most welcome... You can make it up to me one day. Ha! Onwards and upwards and all that!

Thanks for the kind words and new subscriptions, everyone, it's much appreciated

Thanks for all you are doing Graham, I don't know how you stay sane.

He's extremely dedicated, even so it must be very hard going at times. All this will come to and end, far too many people will have been damaged for that not to happen, along with numerous institutions and the relationship we have with them. Then Graham can focus on comedy writing and other projects again. I hope everyone involved in this resistance can get back to what they did before, or find new directions, but I think the impact of what they're experiencing now will stay with them for a long time. I feel an enormous amount of gratitude and respect for these people. And I hope all who appreciate their effort are finding ways of making a difference.

Once again, I get very pissed at keeping those who write comedy -- which is desperately needed -- from doing their work due to their being unfashionable (Barbara Pym) or blacklisted (Graham).

The Father Ted Musical must be staged!

It would be sold out quickly too.

I have to say I don't subscribe to much, but I am glad I dived into the couch for all the change from other folks' pockets and paid up here. On the point of the ringing doorbell, I agree with not answering it. I live in a close and if it is not the polis, it is local drug dealers wanting me to take in my neighbours' stashes, then the polis will be after me! Do I have "stupid" tattooed on my forehead!!

Please keep up the brilliant work you do, it is so much appreciated. My breakfast reading has been so much improved!

I subscribed to you yesterday. I have slowly been ‘raising awareness’ on social networks and pledged support to several brave ‘foot soldiers’ putting themselves out there. I do feel as though the tide is turning. Thanks to all of our efforts to get this mainstream. Courage calls to courage 🔦🔦💥🔦🔦👏👏💪🤞

I hope more people pay to read the truth..it feels very underground resistance but so necessary.

Keep going GL and JL much love to you both.

I would strongly encourage everyone who possibly can to subscribe to Graham Lineham's Substack. T

This is one of the very few sources of relevant news items available to me which I can actually trust, as I have confidence that so much research goes on in sourcing the accuracy of the facts, - (yes correct that is FACTS), - included in these reports. NB even Private Eye have proved themselves to be untrustworthy with their post of feminist BOTS, - Private Eye, be ashamed, and I'm not sure a written apology in your Newspaper is sufficient here?

It is outrageous that such a talented writer - (as Graham Lineham certainly is), - and who has written so many acclaimed comedy shows, should have this livelihood taken away, merely for maintaining his integrity and for continuing to speak the truth.

In conclusion, I would like to say that this Substack is essential reading for anyone who is interested in protecting women and children and who believes in the value of accurate reporting.

really kind, thank you.

As a subscriber, can I say that I would help to crowdfund Father Ted if it comes to that. The feck I will!

Jess Jones's avatar

I am already a subscriber but felt compelled to add some extra coffees to say thank you for your ongoing courage and efforts, and also for that hilarious sports pic!

Reading is beneficial, lots of us did that to start probably

Proud to be a paid subscriber. However, I am now supporting over 20 substack or other news platform writers at a time when my finances are dwindling - largely because of government mismanagement.

Sad that we all end up paying 10 times as much just to hear the truth while our legacy media rake in millions (billions?) in advertising revenue and taxpayer subsidies while lying and propagandizing without any consequences. It has never been more important to get facts that reflect reality yet we're all forced to wade through mountains of media lies just to try and make sense of things.

Graham Linehan's avatar

I've often wondered if it would be better to create a title, rather than all these individual substacks. If you know the right people to say that to, please do!

Please start a crowd fund for Father Ted the musical, I’m happy supporting legal crowdfunders but Father Ted I loved. I still quote heavily and given all else we need a forum to laugh.

Graham Linehan's avatar

I think a year of crowdfunding might give us a week of staging :(

Graham Linehan's avatar

the gatekeepers have to know--this is not popular, you are not on the right side of history.

Marjorie Hastings's avatar
