Wow. How incredibly ungrateful and spineless. I'm so sorry, Graham. But I'd bet my house on Norton being amongst the toads who'll be queuing up to kiss your arse when all this is over. (And I feel inclined to mention that the only time he's ever made me laugh was in Father Ted.)

Notable that it's "men of a certain age" he talks about. The thousands of brilliant, articulate women are simply invisible to him. Norton tells himself that the "anti-trans" lobby is led by late middle-aged, right-wing men. As with the disappointingly dismissive "Rest is Politics" duo, it's so much easier to pretend your opposition is confused and elderly. It's pathetic and, quelle surprise, misogynistic. But the tide is turning...

Glinner, keep it up mate, you're an absolute star.

Graham, I am so moved by your work in this field. The sacrifices you have made to help thousands and thousands of children and to protect women’s rights. Also to protect our basic liberal values.

You’ve used your position to serve the less fortunate and at such a great personal cost. We won’t ever forget what you’ve done for us.

Sorry if this is a bit much, i just want to express my genuine thanks.

I used to like Graham Norton, saw him do stand up once just before he became really famous and he was hilarious. Same with Eddie Izzard, who now makes me feel sick. Funny what money and power does to people. They both need someone to sit them down and give them a good talking to (hope GN sees this vid) but being surrounded by hordes of sycophants must be a big part of the problem.

Great vid Graham. Heartfelt and sincere. Unlike Norton.

Disappointed in Frostrup too. She should have been tougher and asked him if he is prepared to have sex with a woman who says she's a man. That is what's happening to regular gay men I know. They are fed up being gaslit by women claiming to be gay men. As a result they are going back to underground clubs to avoid women. They fought hard for gay rights, now TRAs are rolling them back.

I'm sure Norton doesn't get that from TRAs, they won't go after him so he is oblivious to the issues affecting real people.

Norton has a right to be ignorant. So many people are. But it's immoral to use your 'celebrity' status to spread your ignorance to the world as if it's fact. Celebs should either educate themselves on the topic or keep their bloody mouths shut.

Women are having a tough enough time without ill-informed and patronising misogynists like Norton being so dismissive of us. Eff you Norton.

He's a back stabbing a-hole, who makes his living simpering and curtsying to "celebs" on his tired old show. Several of whom no doubt, have the requisite "trans" child. He'd sell his own grandmother if he thought it would further his career. F^&% him and the horse he rode in on! I know the fight has been long and painful Graham and you have paid a very high price. Not that it eases the pain but know that I and thousands of others stand with you and hear you. You are not alone.

If it wasn't for Father Ted, nobody would know who he was. Xx

Graham Norton is a treacherous, disingenuous little creep. He knows precisely what’s going on and is pretending he doesn’t. Norton obviously doesn’t care about children or women, he only cares about himself. In our house he’s cancelled.

What a creep. When 1000 families start telling their stories about the Tavistock in court and the truth about Mermaids comes out, Norton's bid for the mob's approval will age very badly.

In a democracy people are not "accountable" for political or ethical opinions. Their opinions may be poor bad and based on untruths but society doesn't demand penance or penalties for opinions even if they are deemed "wrong". The appropriate response is to offer a better fact based opinion and enter a discussion, not to attempt to cut off the opponent's source of income. That was the McCarthyism tactic. It's the tactic of totalitarians and dictators. It's the classical behavior of a cult. Not only does the cult demand your complete submissions to the dogma but it also demands that dissociate yourself with anyone not sold to the cult, and awards Brownie points for betraying friends and family who won't succumb. The trans cult uses all these vicious and nefarious tactics. It's a cult and no mistake. It is fanatic in its determination to silence dissent. It is not interested in debate, only submission. This particular cult has been more successful than any before it, but it will fall in the end.

I remember Julian Clary being banned from television for over a decade from 1993, simply because The Sun's erstwhile TV critic felt that the joke was beyond the pale (despite his own predilection for class A drugs). I thought he was a victim of an unjust cancel culture, but thanks to Graham I now know that he was simply "being held accountable". Because comedians telling jokes at a comedy awards, about a Chancellor that tanked the economy, is simply not acceptable. I look forward to Kwarteng's current comedy critics being similarly defenestrated.

Most actors etc are desperate for approval or validation . Norton seems more desperate than most on his show fawning over his guests , when I've watched it .

Ricky Gervais's line on the Golden Globes (?) re actors/slebs who would sign for Netflix if it were owned by ISIS for the sake of their careers describes Norton and his kind so accurately.

Father Noel would probably be a Bloke in a Frock with a Cock by now anyway - feel free to use that when you write the sitcom/film for this madness Graham .

Norton thinks he's untouchable. He lives in a luvvy bubble, where he believes he will never be held to account. He definitely has a distain for older women, unless they are actresses who can help him out. I imagine he has all kinds of issues from childhood, revolving around his own mother. I have never watched his show, his self-aggrandising persona is a real turn-off for this middle aged, invisible woman!

What Norton doesn't know is that gay men are the next in the march of the cult to be thrown under the bus after the destruction of womens and children's rights. I hope they get you first Norton you ciward

Norton sure believes in cancel culture. He's terrified that it would happen to him. Thats why he behaves like this and ignores all the issues.
