Public-record lane. Lads status correction is live; kino scorecard should remain a procedural endpoint page, not a culture-war recap.
Basics
Writer/commentator tracked narrowly through platform-enforcement and court-procedure status updates.
Boundary: Keep to platform and legal-procedure facts. Do not recap disputed culture-war claims or personal allegations.
Details
- The Glinner Update is a live current self-published surface. The page can route readers to current public output if a profile/setup sentence needs a first-party anchor. [1]
- Mainstream reporting fixed the 2020 Twitter account closure / platform-enforcement anchor. This helps date the transition from mainstream comedy-career figure to platform-conflict figure. [2]
- BBC reported the November 2025 first-instance court outcome. The reported result was: cleared of harassing a transgender activist, but found guilty of damaging a phone. This receipt is the middle step in the legal-status chronology. [3]
- AP reported on 1 May 2026 that the criminal-damage conviction was overturned on appeal. The appeal was heard at Southwark Crown Court. The public legal-status endpoint is now appeal-overturned, not conviction-standing. [4]
Receipts
- receipt packCurrent self-published surface Source What it proves: The Glinner Update is a live current self-published surface. The page can route readers to current public output if a profile/setup sentence needs a first-party anchor. What it does not prove: It does not independently prove claims made in posts. It should not be used as proof of third-party facts. Stored at: gos.ie-research/candidates/graham-linehan/receipt-pack-2026-05-22.md
- receipt pack2020 platform-enforcement anchor Source What it proves: Mainstream reporting fixed the 2020 Twitter account closure / platform-enforcement anchor. This helps date the transition from mainstream comedy-career figure to platform-conflict figure. What it does not prove: It does not prove the whole later chronology by itself. It should not be inflated into a moral conclusion about Linehan or the platform. Stored at: gos.ie-research/candidates/graham-linehan/receipt-pack-2026-05-22.md
- receipt pack2025 first-instance court result Source What it proves: BBC reported the November 2025 first-instance court outcome. The reported result was: cleared of harassing a transgender activist, but found guilty of damaging a phone. This receipt is the middle step in the legal-status chronology. What it does not prove: It is no longer the endpoint because AP later reported the criminal-damage conviction was overturned on appeal. It should not be summarized as "convicted" without the appeal update in the same context. Stored at: gos.ie-research/candidates/graham-linehan/receipt-pack-2026-05-22.md
- receipt pack2026 appeal outcome Source What it proves: AP reported on 1 May 2026 that the criminal-damage conviction was overturned on appeal. The appeal was heard at Southwark Crown Court. The public legal-status endpoint is now appeal-overturned, not conviction-standing. What it does not prove: It does not relitigate the wider public debate. It does not make the Substack/X claims true or false. Stored at: gos.ie-research/candidates/graham-linehan/receipt-pack-2026-05-22.md
