FFS sake Graham. I’m alternating between feeling so sorry that this is still happening to such a good man as you, ashamed at our authorities and govt. combined with utter rage and fury at what has happened to our police and this country. This is insane and I’m at the stage where I think Trump should consider accepting all of us as refugees. Keep well, keep calm and don’t let them grind you down. You are right, you have the moral high ground. 💪🏻

OMG big man, what a horrible state of affairs we’re mired in now in the UK. I wish I could come and support you at court, there in spirit x.

Absolutely sickening. At least the police were decent, but you never should have been put through this. What has happened to our country??

Imagine if enough cops refused the task? "Just doing my job" didn't cut it at Nuremberg!

I'm just staggered at the awfulness of this arrest. It is really frightening. Please take care of yourself.

Dreadful. Begs the question who sanctioned this over reaction by the police.

I am so sorry Graham! I think you are a marvellous man who has done so much good and you do not deserve all this crap and stress. I hope your blood pressure soon recovers and that the worst is over. You are one of the brave ones. Thank you and good luck !

Bloody Hell Graham! This is effin ridiculous. The cops (I know, following orders) are caught by this shite. The next election can't come soon enough, get rid of these low IQ incubus' (incubi?).

Anyway, Graham, if you are ever in Cornwall, let me buy you a big pasty and a pint of Tribute ale. Doctors tell me it's excellent for high blood pressure. I'm not sure if they mean it's an excellent way you get it, or an excellent way to combat it. Anyway, they're nice and so is beer.

Shared++ because we live in a woke police state. Fascists dancing to the tune of men in frocks. You, Sir are an inspiration. Do not be intimidated. Do not give up. The USA should not be facilitating the abuse of free speech by reporting you to UK Po's. Someone please notify Elon Musk, Donald Trump and his Vice President of this blatant, political attack on free speech because we absolutely need Americans to be involved in this fight against our authoritarian, Fascist Govt. Fascism is the spawn of the Left, not the Right. It is a cancer.

Sorry to hear of this latest assault on you, Graham. Hope your BP has stabilised.

So many a-holes I would like to punch if I was prone to violence, especially the ones who spew-tweet unspeakable violence against women, WITHOUT getting arrested.

Honestly it feels like we're living in a satirical programme these days. Free speech is on life support in the UK.

It's mind boggling how you've gone through all that for three tweets. I've read far worse comments on twitter from the other side of this debate. I wonder if they're getting herded into a cell too. Not bloody likely.

How utterly disgraceful. Meanwhile rapists get off scot-free. Someone needs to sort this weirdo ex-copper out. Can't he be arrested for wasting police time or something?

I hope you can sue for unlawful arrest and detention. This is appalling. But hopefully indicates how scared they are.

I can’t believe this shit. It’s as if you’re being deliberately targeted so you DO have a stroke or something and who would be arrested for that I wonder? Take care Chuck.
