To American viewers who don't know who Graham is. In the last 35 years, Graham was the most prolific comedy writer on British tv, and he was/is brilliant. But, he decided to stick up for women and women's rights, and this went against the 'woke' landscape. Virtually everyone in his industry are scared crapless about the cancel culture and deserted Graham in his hour of need. He was treated disgustingly. His marriage was broken and he lost all his work. But, he has been vindicated, he is totally correct. But no one has apologised to him. I wish him the very best of luck in the USA.

I hate that Graham thinks he lost friends because for every'friend' he lost he gained 20, he just hasn't met us yet and we love him 💚🇮🇪

Graham is a top fella. He's been targetted like they target J K Rowling. It's disgraceful.
