The Met Police have paid £25,000 in compensation to Graham Linehan and offered him an unreserved apology.
This comes after Scotland Yard accepted there were “shortcomings in the investigation, the arrest and the imposition of bail conditions”.
Last September, the Father Ted creator was arrested by five armed police officers as he landed at Heathrow Airport over three gender-critical posts he had made on X.
He was arrested on suspicion of a public order offence, detained and questioned for several hours before being rushed to hospital after his blood pressure rose dangerously high.
Graham was released but placed under draconian bail conditions, which initially included a ban on posting on X.
With the support of the Free Speech Union, Graham took legal action against the Met Police for wrongful arrest and breaches of his right to free speech.
Although Graham received an apology in May, he has now also received a £25,000 payout and a further unreserved apology.
In a letter to Mr Linehan, a senior Met officer wrote: “Whilst there can be no doubt that all officers acted in good faith throughout and were seeking to do their best in the circumstances, the investigation identified shortcomings in both the investigation, arrest and imposition of bail conditions.
“We apologise to you for those shortcomings and for the distress and inconvenience which you suffered as a result.”
General Secretary of the Free Speech Union, Lord Young, said: “I’m beginning to lose count of the number of cases we’ve fought in which the police have arrested someone for a tweet, decided to take no further action and then had to pay them substantial compensation for wrongful arrest.
“At some point you’d think the penny would drop: police our streets, not our tweets.”

Labour MP Afzal Khan has reported Rupert Lowe to the parliamentary authorities over his comments about Islam on the Joe Rogan podcast.
Khan appears to have an issue with people who are critical of Islam, but not with men who rape children.
Lord Nazir Ahmed was named in the Rape Gang Inquiry report published by MP Rupert Lowe.
Killing a seagull or a swan is a criminal offense under the Wildlife & Countryside Act 1981. The penalty includes an unlimited fine, a criminal record, & up to six months in prison. In severe cases, charges can be under the Animal Welfare Act, with up to five years in prison.
In Germany, a polygamous Syrian refugee family is causing outrage.
Ahmed lives with his 2 wives and 6 children in a rent-free house. He says he is looking for 2 more wives and wants to have 20 children.
He is illiterate, doesn’t work, and claims his only goal is to have as many children as possible ‘to make Germany more Muslim.’
One of these protests is because they're angry little girls and young women have been raped.
The other is a riot because they lost a game of football.
They are not the same.
The police do not behave the same.
NHS FRAUD CAUGHT ON CAMERA, NOBODY CARED
Sharmila Chowdhury @sharmilaxx gave the @NHS 30 years of clean service. Not one blemish. Then she did something apparently unforgivable. She noticed two consultant radiologists at Ealing Hospital, now part of London North West University Healthcare NHS Trust @LNWH_NHS, were billing the NHS for shifts they were actually spending at a private hospital down the road.
Getting paid twice for the same hours. That is fraud everywhere except, it turns out, inside the NHS complaints system.
She reported it. To her line manager. To the Medical Director. To the HR Director. To Counter Fraud. To the Chief Executive. To Number 10. To the Treasury. She built a paper trail so thorough that ITV @itvnews later sent an undercover team into the hospital and filmed the same consultants years on, still taking cash from patients for private ultrasounds inside NHS premises.
The Trust's response to all that diligence was to sack her, based on counter allegations later shown to be fabricated.
The man behind those allegations reportedly signed off an email too crude to print here ..........
....... He picked up a Top Mentor award from the Trust that same year. You could not write comedy this good on purpose.
Sharmila took it to tribunal and won. She won her appeal too. The judge told the Trust to reinstate her. The Trust said no. She was then quietly blacklisted across the NHS. One job offer was withdrawn the moment they worked out who she was. Legal costs hit £130,000.
Somewhere in the middle of it she developed breast and lung cancer, which her doctors link to years of sustained stress.
The two consultants kept their jobs. George Osborne could not get involved. Andrew Lansley could not get involved. David Cameron could not get involved. Every one of them filed it under employment matter, which is Whitehall for we would rather not know.
A proven fraud case, covered by ITV @itvnews, the Guardian, Daily Mail @DailyMail, Channel 4 News @Channel4News, the Independent @Independent, BBC News @BBCNews, the Times @thetimes and the Daily Mirror @DailyMirror. The official position of Her Majesty's Government was still not our problem.
This is the reward system in action. Report fraud, lose your career, lose your health, and watch the people you reported get promoted.
ROBIN COOK QUIT OVER A WAR DIED ON A SCOTTISH HILL AND THE CASE CLOSED BEFORE TEA TIME
Robin Cook spent his career being right at the worst possible time for his career.
In March 2003 he resigned as Leader of the Commons rather than back the Iraq War. His resignation speech got a standing ovation from MPs on all sides, something that had never happened in the chamber before.
He spent the next two years telling anyone who would listen that Tony Blair had marched Britain into a war built on nothing.
Two years later he was dead.
6 August 2005. Ben Stack, a remote mountain in Sutherland. Cook collapsed of a heart attack while hillwalking with his wife Gaynor, fell down a ridge, and was airlifted to Raigmore Hospital in Inverness, where he was pronounced dead within the hour.
The post mortem two days later gave the cause as hypertensive heart disease. Police on the scene treated it as a medical matter and that was the end of their involvement.
No inquest reopening. No criminal inquiry. Just a senior politician who had publicly humiliated the government over an illegal war, dropping dead in one of the most remote spots in the country, with the official file shut almost as fast as it was opened.
Norman Baker, the Lib Dem MP and later Home Office minister who spent years digging into the death of weapons inspector David Kelly, said in 2007 that Cook had been on Ministry of Defence linked land when he died and that he had real doubts about the official account.
He got called a conspiracy theorist for asking the question. Funny how that label only gets handed out to the people asking questions, never to the people refusing to answer them.
Then there is the bit nobody mentions enough. Starting in 2020, someone filed Freedom of Information requests with Police Scotland asking for the basic details of that day.
What time officers were alerted. Whether witnesses were interviewed. Whether the people who came to help Gaynor Cook were ever identified. Police Scotland refused. The case went to the Scottish Information Commissioner, who in 2021 and again in 2022 sided with the police and let them keep it sealed under a legal exemption.
So twenty years on, the basic facts of how a former Foreign Secretary actually died on a hillside are still officially none of your business.
That is not evidence of a murder BUT it is evidence of an institution that would rather you stop asking than ever have to answer.
Britain does not need conspiracy theories when the real story is this embarrassing on its own.

3 blacks attack a drunk white kid in Birmingham, the female police officer comes in to protect the violent blacks and arrest the white kid
Absolutely disgusting the way white people are treated in England (@KnockoutAudit)
The Government is determined to further increase the influx of migrants to the UK , they will call them refugees/ asylum seekers. They will be mostly Muslims, Why don’t they seek asylum in any of the 50 Muslim countries ?
Why do they want to come to our country ?

An entire muslim family were convicted of repeatedly raping their own six year old daughter in Sussex
Her Father, Grandfather, Uncle, two brothers and Mother were all convicted of either taking part in the cruelty or coercing the little girl to change her story with the Police
The media and the Police never revealed their identity for fear of stoking tensions, the only clue was in one of the court transcripts:
“Sometimes I get money for Eid,” the girl said. “My mum would take it away and spend it.”
Some people have no idea of the cruelty that has been imported into the UK
The lady on the left is Mukhtar Mai.
Following her own gangrape, she has becoming internationally celebrated for trying to protect women and girls in Pakistan for what she calls "a nationwide systemic generational culture of rape and abuse towards women and girls in Pakistan".
The man on the right said exactly the same about Pakistani men that come to the uk and do exactly the same to British women and girls, but he is a "far right racist" and Mukhtar Mai is a "hero".
Prince William has repeated the same tired claim made by his father: that Islam is a religion of peace from which Britain has much to learn. He made these remarks while grooming gangs continue to destroy thousands of British girls’ lives and knife attacks plague our streets.
The royals live behind palace walls with round-the-clock security. They do not walk their daughters to school through areas transformed by mass Muslim immigration. They do not see the daily reality of parallel societies, no-go zones, and the systematic targeting of native girls by men from incompatible cultures. It is easy for them to preach tolerance and learning from Islam when they are insulated from the consequences of the policies they quietly endorse.
Britain’s Christian heritage is being steadily erased while the monarchy offers platitudes about a religion whose followers have been responsible for some of the worst organised child sexual abuse scandals in modern British history. The same institutions that once defended the realm now appear more concerned with not offending certain communities than with protecting the British people.
This is not leadership. It is surrender dressed up as enlightenment. The British public is expected to accept grooming gangs, rising violence, and cultural replacement as the price of diversity, while the royal family lectures them on the virtues of the very ideology driving much of the disorder.
The monarchy has a choice. It can either stand with the British people and defend the country’s historic identity and values, or it can continue parroting globalist talking points that have demonstrably failed. If it chooses the latter, it should not be surprised when public support for the institution collapses.
Britain needs institutions that put its own people first — not ones that lecture them while the country is changed beyond recognition. The royals have failed to provide that leadership. The British people are noticing.
7 Afghan invaders all given "asylum" have appeared at Norwich Crown Court today charged with 40 offences, including 33 counts of rape or conspiracy to rape involving two teenage girls.
Jamil Khalili, 20, charged with 7 counts of rape, one count of conspiracy to rape and one count of facilitating human trafficking
Ahmadin Ahmadzai, 20, charged with nine counts of rape, two counts of conspiracy to rape, one count of facilitating human trafficking, and one count of perverting the course of justice
Qais Kaker, 20, charged with four counts of rape, one count of conspiracy to rape and one count of facilitating human trafficking
Fazal Auryakhel, 20, charged with one count of rape
Mohammed Farooq Shinwary, 20, charged witg two counts of rape
Ali Ahamad, 21, charged with one count of rape and three counts of facilitating human trafficking
Sayed Wahid Davodzai, 20, charged with four counts of rape and one count of conspiracy to rape
Keir Starmer and Sadiq Khan have both been named in the Rape Gang Inquiry Report for covering up these horrific crimes.
They must be brought to justice, along with all the monsters who perpetrated and facilitated this abomination.
And it is still happening today.
Where are the Muslims around the world decrying the evil Muslim rape gangs in the UK?
If this systemic rape and sexual torture of children, this exploitation, this dehumanization of people who are not Muslim—especially those who are sexually vulnerable...if this is not part of your religion, if this is not something you believe in, if this is contrary to your religious beliefs, then why are you quiet?
You have to wonder, why do we not hear from Muslims around the globe—particularly English-speaking Muslims in Western countries who are certainly as aware of this story by now? Why are these Muslims are silent?
Is it because they believe that this is permissible?
Is it because of the fact that their religion not only allows the dehumanization of any people who are not forced to convert to Islam, but demands it?
Where are they?
🔴 Allemagne 🇩🇪 | « Je suis sûr qu’il y a des membres du Hamas sur la liste de paie de l’UNRWA. »
L’auteur de cette phrase n’est ni un ministre israélien, ni un militant pro-Israël.
C’est Peter Hansen, ancien commissaire général de l’UNRWA.
Cette séquence figure dans le documentaire que ZDF et ARTE ont refusé de diffuser.
Pendant des années, ceux qui dénonçaient l’infiltration du Hamas au sein de l’UNRWA ont été traités de propagandistes.
Aujourd’hui, ce sont les propres responsables de l’agence qui confirment ce que beaucoup refusaient d’entendre.
On comprend mieux pourquoi certains ne voulaient pas que ce documentaire soit diffusé.
Quand les faits deviennent impossibles à réfuter, il ne reste plus qu’une solution, empêcher le public de les voir.
#UNRWA #Hamas #Israël #ONU #Gaza #LaChuteDelOccident
This is not Gaza. Not a UNRWA kindergarten.
This is a classroom in the United States.
Kindergarten children chanting “From the river to the sea,” a slogan that calls for the elimination of the only Jewish state.
This isn’t culture or language class. It’s indoctrination. Teaching the youngest kids to normalize Jew-hatred, excuse terror, and frame extremism as “resistance.”
When this goes unchallenged in schools, it doesn’t stay a slogan. It creates radicals, erodes equal rights, and poisons democracy at the root.
How did this become acceptable in American education?
BREAKING: 101 UNRWA employees were involved in the October 7th massacre or linked to Hamas' military wing, including school teachers, medical personnel, and security staff.
UNRWA is Hamas. It's time to disband this terror organization.
The DOJ has ONE WEEK left to charge Anthony Fauci for the worst cover-up in modern medical history.
He lied to Congress about funding gain-of-function research in Wuhan. Millions died. Trillions were spent. And Fauci walked away with book deals and fawning media coverage instead of handcuffs. I re-upped my criminal referral to the DOJ because the evidence is overwhelming, and justice has been delayed long enough.
RT if you’re ready to see Fauci behind bars.
