A trans activist Graham Linehan believes could be responsible for his arrest is a disgraced police officer, it was revealed today.
Lynsay Watson, 58, was sacked for gross misconduct by Leicestershire Constabulary in October 2023 after trolling another free speech campaigner online, branding him a woman beater and a Nazi.
Watson has also been behind a large number of legal challenges related to gender and trans rights, including against three police forces, British Transport Police Federation and the Ministry of Defence.
After Graham Linehan's controversial arrest by armed police this week he suggested the activist may have been involved.
'At one point, I said, "I bet I know who made this complaint Lindsay (sic) Watson",' he tweeted in the aftermath.
