As a follow-up to our previous post on the war on parody and comedy (see https://appellatespectator.blogspot.com/2025/08/update-war-on-parody-by-humorless-left.html), we note even more insidious threats to freedom off expression. As we discussed before, there have been attempts to use the legal process to punish those making fun of any idea held near and dear to left-wing scolds. It is therefore imperative to note that Irish comedian and co-creater of the BBC series "Father Flannigan" has been arrested for anti-trans tweets and, as a condition of bail, told he cannot tweet further because, well, the government of His Highness, King Charles, says so.
Even CNN has had to admit there are real free speech issues involved:

This arrest is part of a larger battle between the comedian and trans activists, who have used the legal process to harass the writer and comedian over the past few years.
