I've got something to tell you. Something that may shock and discredit you. And that thing is as follows: I'm not wearing a tie at all.

BBC story: "Father Ted co-creator Graham Linehan has been arrested at Heathrow Airport on suspicion of inciting violence in relation to his posts on X."

BBC story: "Father Ted co-creator Graham Linehan has been arrested at Heathrow Airport on suspicion of inciting violence in relation to his posts on X."

BBC story: "The Metropolitan Police says it will no longer investigate non-crime hate incidents to allow officers to "focus on matters that meet the threshold for criminal investigations".

The announcement came as the Met confirmed it was dropping a probe into Father Ted creator Graham Linehan after he was arrested at Heathrow Airport on suspicion of inciting violence in posts on X.

Mr Linehan was arrested by five officers on 1 September after arriving on a flight from the US, sparking a backlash from some public figures and politicians.

The Crown Prosecution Service said it had decided no further action should be taken in the writer's case following a "careful review" of the evidence supplied by police.

In a statement on Monday addressing non-crime hate incidents, a Metropolitan Police spokesperson said it "understands the concern" around the case.

"The commissioner has been clear he doesn't believe officers should be policing toxic culture war debates, with current laws and rules on inciting violence online leaving them in an impossible position," the spokesperson said."

Curious how the Graham Linehan story is being spun, including by the BBC. He was arrested on suspicion of the criminal offence of inciting violence; but the BBC is now conflating his incitement with a "non-crime hate incident".

Diane Keaton's best film? I'd probably have to go with Francis Ford Coppola's 1972 classic, "The Godfather". Five stars, for me!

So there are people who think you should be able to stay in the UK if you have a job... unless that job is specifically in the NHS?

Great that he's put "he wouldn't" rather than "you wouldn't". Hard to disagree. Rooney couldn't score that overhead kick today, either

The Paper isn't The Office yet, pretty clear they made it a 'spinoff' just for the ads as it adds nothing to the show, it is very watchable though

sign further down saying "these flags hung by 'the rainbow project', to reclaim our flags in the name of british values of diversity and tolerance, please don't remove!". Throw in some childish stick men at the bottom so it looks cute

New King of the Hill three eps in: with characters this warm and strong you can't really miss (though far too much Dale, not enough Bill). Has the same pace issues as every stream reboot but it'll work through, definitely one of the better ones

The Lioness' win will inspire a generation, but most importantly of all, it'll inflate the price at which your favourite club can sell its women's team to their own shell company as part of desperate financial shenanigans
