What it's like to be cancelled

The Daily T

Father Ted creator Graham Linehan and poet Jenny Lindsay on losing their livelihoods.

What’s it like to be cancelled? And is there a light at the end of the cancel-culture tunnel?

Camilla and Kamal speak to two people who have suffered under the cancellation juggernaut: Scottish poet Jenny Lindsay and the Irish writer behind Father Ted and The IT Crowd, Graham Linehan. They explain how it feels to be abandoned by family, friends, and colleagues over your views; how they fought back; and why the trans debate has become so toxic.
