This is the nasty piece of work so many politicians are rushing to defend. The UK Government actually floated changing the law to protect his right to commit hate crime.

Its nice to see a scottish politician speaking out about him, instead of this current wave of defense and support he seems to have. The man is a bully.

The rot started at the top of the UK. Every geopolitical bad actor and neoliberal bigot and billionaire crook and media baron has been having a field day penetrating govt.

I love his comedies but he appears to have completely lost the plot.

I'd say it's more about proctecting themselves. Linehan's case just happens to be the motivator & the excuse. If he suffers consequences, then so could they, & as has been demonstrated countless times before, these kinds of politicians will move mountains to avoid paying for their actions.
