Open letter to Jimmy Mulville and Sonia Friedman

Hat Trick Productions and SF productions are discriminating against me because of my perfectly commonplace beliefs. A Father Ted fan asks why

I’ve been given permission to repost this letter from a Subscriber. It took Jimmy Mulville a month to get back to me last time and I have discovered that all my colleagues on the show have been briefed against me. So my only recourse is to carry on this fight in public. My thanks to the original poster for permission to publish this, which I would like to co-sign and share as an open letter to Sonia Friedman and Jimmy Mulville. It may be the first of many until it is explained to me why JK Rowling’s ‘The Cursed Child’ may continue but my Father Ted Musical must never even begin. It is a monstrous act of pre-emptive censorship and I will not let go of it without the mother of all fights.

Graham,

I did not receive a response to the email I sent to them on 25th May:

Those who support human rights are deeply disappointed that you have decided to take the side of aggressive activists who have caused terrible harm to Graham Linehan for daring to stand up for the human rights of women and children.

What a shame you've decided to stand alongside men who are aggressively stripping women and children of their human rights and believe in medical experimentation on children.

What a shame you won't make what would be an absolutely brilliant and very funny musical and give a brilliant writer and creator his due - while making yourself a great deal of money.

Because you're too scared to say "I understand reality and I believe in the human rights of women and children." Not only that, you're terrified of even being associated with anyone who holds this completely non-controversial stance.

You do understand that the vast, vast majority of all humanity completely agrees with him, surely? That the loud hatred coming from an unhinged minority of aggressive activists in no way reflects reality or public sentiment?

Surely you already know that it is only the aggressive silencing of the media on this topic that has allowed women and children's human rights to be so endangered to the point that decent people everywhere have had to make a stand?

Because you're too scared to say "I understand reality and I believe in the human rights of women and children."

Thankfully, there are alongside Graham Linehan, Gervais, Maher, Chapelle and many many more are also finding their courage and standing up for the human rights of women and children.

As well as, of course, the wonderful, kind and compassionate JK Rowling, Suzanne Moore and many women who have been under assault for years for making the completely uncontroversial and factual statement that men aren't women and that biology matters.

Here's what we know you know, Hat Trick and Sonia Friedman Productions:

You know there is a horror show happening with young women having double mastectomies, being sterilized and having their bone density destroyed.

You know boys are being castrated and medicalised for life.

You know women are having their sports and trophies stolen by men.

You know that a woman was raped on an NHS ward by a man claiming to be a woman and was further traumatized by gaslighting for a full year until CCTV footage proved that a man raped her.

You know men are harassing and attacking women in women's rape shelters and raped women groups.

You know that homosexuals have faced such horrifying homophobia from transactivists that they were forced to form a registered charity, the LGB Alliance. You know that trans activists have been homophobically attacking the LGB Alliance and desperately trying to silence the voices of homosexual people.

You know that many men are claiming to be women once they are caught being violently criminal, and are being sent to female prisons where they are raping and harming female prisoners. You know that these men quickly revert to their ‘cis male’ identity when they leave prison.

You already know all of this - but as you said "I don't care".

You're petrified of looking as though you're giving even indirect support to a brilliant creative talent by making what would be a fantastic musical - because he dared to say women's human rights matter and we should not be performing medical experiments on children.

Women and decent men won't soon forget the craven cowardice of those too terrified to stand beside those who have stated these completely non controversial facts:

Men aren't women. We should not be performing medical experiments on children. And it's not ok to threaten anyone with sacking, doxxing, rape and murder for saying so.

And it's not remotely hateful, controversial or unkind to state these facts.

History will not treat you kindly. For shame.

Oh, and just to add, I have sent some grisly fan mail I received to my colleagues on the show and to Sonia Friedman, her assistants, and Jimmy Mulville. None of them can say they weren’t aware of what has been happening to me ever since I started defending women’s rights.

Only one recent example of such mail, though. Small beer compared to what JK Rowling has endured, and to his credit, Jimmy Mulville signed his name to the letter defending her that I composed. My question to Jimmy is, what changed between then and now? If you defended her, why can’t you defend me for saying the exact same things? Oh, and Sonia, I can’t remember if you signed the letter. Would you like to?
