Well I'm not shocked to see Jolyon Maugham make an arguement that is legally illiterate.

It's a reference to Ocado's slogan of there's an Ocado just for you. You could have just googled it you know.
You could have broken the habit of a lifetime and included some context in your posts.

I see that Father Ted writer Graham Linehan has been all over the media today claiming that Thursday's judgement could help him relaunch his comedy career. I think he is being very optimistic.

The way he has behaved over the last 5 years has burnt a lot of bridges. Whilst everybody is entitled to an opinion on the gender identity issue the way he tried to put his opinion across was extremely unacceptable. He stalked and harassed people who disagreed with him and he became so obsessed wit the issue he let it break up his marriage.

He was supposed to be working on 'Father Ted' the musical. But I would be very surprised if he could actually attract enough investors to back such a project. If he can't attract big name stars to work with him any musical would be extremely difficult to get off of the ground.

I think he’s well past optimism into delusion. It’s not the opinions he held, it’s the vitriol with which he pursued anyone who disagreed. He’s doxxed people, made fake accounts on Twitter to stir up trouble (to put it mildly), he’s become a vaccine denier, he’s tried to have people sign documents if they work with him to agree they have to conform to his views on trans people, and repeatedly linked anyone who supports trans people with paedophilia. No one in their right mind is going to work with someone like that - his actual views are largely irrelevant now, he’s just become an awful, bitter husk of a man.
