Dr Adrian Harrop, who the funk does he think he is?

He the brocalist version of Katie Hopkins.

He's a doctor!!😮

WOMEN.....KEEP AWAY FROM THIS ABSOLUTE DESPICABLE THUG!!!

Bugger.

I would like to say I'm shocked at his choice of language but I'm really really not. His whole Twitter feed is full of this kind of stuff, mainly targeted at women.

I would like to say I'm shocked at hi

Does it never occur to these people to say something along the lines of, oh well, everyone is entitled to their opinion?

Yy.

Datun, reading Graham Linehan's twitter feed yesterday made me feel like Andy in The Shawshank Redemption! As if I'd just crawled through a rotten, stinking sewer. It was GRIM! Even though I despise these fools, I also almost feel pity for them.

To live life like that?😮

And of course, yet again, the other thing is, saying something like that about mumsnet makes the world and his wife come over here to see what all the fuss is about.

And more gender critical women are born.

It's such an own fucking goal!

If you want to build up your follower numbers on twitter, one of the best ways to do it is to demonise women. Everyone knows that!

Not another one!

'Cretinous, bigoted, really disgusting and an utter disgrace'?

Does it never occur to these people to say something along the lines of, oh well, everyone is entitled to their opinion?

Answering with dignity and grace.

Not have some kind of toddler tantrum that makes them look as though they have no self discipline, no self-restraint, an ego the size of a planet and zero self awareness.

Who could have guessed that wannabe TV doctor and all-round misogynist Dr Adrian Harrop would also have been a fan of disablist language?

If you are religious at all, this man would be considered a demon. At the very least, he has a dark soul and is evil.

Well Bowl, he can say what he likes in private, of course. But putting it in the public sphere I would have thought contravenes GMC social media policy, linked further upthread.

Luckily, Sunset has screenshots

Actually that is just so unacceptable.

I keep thinking about the little boy I know who suffers with this. He has a host of social and medical issues.

What kind of fucking arsehole uses the plight of a child like that to insult women and tell them to shut up? To demonstrate how they are on the side of right? To show how much they value the vulnerable and the marginalised among us?

Sure if someone is actually ignorant of the origins of a term. But a DOCTOR?

My goodness, what a peach of a guy. I'm heartbroken not to meet with his approval as a Mumsnet member. I might need cheese and wine to cope with the disappointment. Actually, I think I'm going to cope, but I'll still have the cheese and wine, just in case the despair returns.

Very unpleasant to hear ‘cretinous’ in the mouth of a doctor. It’s akin to calling someone a moron, mong or spastic as a term of abuse. Very, very poor show, sir. I wouldn’t want you treating any children with intellectual disabilities with that attitude.

Your language and aggression reflects directly on patient perception of the NHS.

OMFG! Cretinous?! Wow.

I know a child with congenital hypothyroidism.

What a total cunt.

Yes pretty shocking. But he's the good guy, of course.

Oooh, lostinmcmuffins is the former Mickey Bass - the anarchist SJW now gone all mermaidy and sparkly.

Wow. 'Cretinous'. Not a good word for a doctor to use. Keep the fuck away from my family, Harrop. My pronouns are also Dr, Dr and Dr.

Dear Adrian,

As a doctor, you should not be using the word ‘cretin’ as a term of abuse any more than you should use something like ‘spaz.’ It’s extremely offensive.

Ps my pronouns are Dr, Dr and Dr.

He's calling us names now.

About to do exactly the same thing... very grateful for having a dog that needs long walks!

Thanks R0wantrees

Saving it for later as I need to get some fresh air and a reminder that the world is still beautiful and real. To double check that stones are hard and water is wet, as it were.

There is another recent thread with relevent discussion:

I forgot to put in the most important bit, sorry.

These are the overarching duties of a doctor under maintaining trust:

Be honest and open and act with integrity.
Never discriminate unfairly against patients or colleagues.
Never abuse your patients' trust in you or the public's trust in the profession.
