0:56Now PlayingGraham Linehan’s arrest at Heathrow over past X posts has opened a chilling question about free speech, comedy, online censorship, transgender debate, UK policing, and whether Britain is now treating forbidden jokes like real crimes. Russell Brand looks at the posts, the reaction, and the strange new world where a comedy writer can be met by police over words written online, but is this really about safety, or is something far more disturbing being normalized in plain sight? When comedians, writers, and ordinary citizens start wondering what they are still allowed to say, the free speech debate stops being theoretical and becomes impossible to ignore.
