Graham Linehan directed the original TV pilot of Little Britain in 2003. David Walliams and Matt Lucas later credited him with being instrumental in getting the show onto television.
Allegations against Walliams are, once again, forcing questions about what the British comedy industry knew, and how long people were prepared to look the other way.
Linehan has spent years demonstrating just how much public hostility, harassment and increasingly obsessive behaviour a once-celebrated comedy writer can get away with before the industry finally distances itself.
Both men demonstrate that being funny, famous and commercially valuable could buy an extraordinary amount of indulgence for a substantial amount of time.
Do you feel any guilt or embarrassment about having supported him so enthusiastically?
And do you feel any responsibility to exercise better moral judgement as a result?
Opinions can change, certainly, but genuine growth requires self-reflection and accountability.
Have you actually reflected on why you supported him in the first place, and what that says about your moral compass, babe?
Iโve already outlined elsewhere in this thread numerous instances of his openly hostile and sexually inappropriate behaviour towards children.
Yet nobody, including you, has presented a coherent, logical argument explaining why he should be presumed innocent while others facing similar allegations, rumours and speculation are not held to the same standard.
@Bevliz1 Graham campaigned against a childrenโs hospital and talked about sissy porn to a minor before assaulting them.
You can see this evidence with your eyes and yet, youโre angry at me. A totally anonymous entity.
How strange.
