"I went to board my flight today, having had my ESTA approved online. I have not been allowed to board because my ESTA has been withdrawn and nobody in the US Embassy or at Homeland security can give me a reason why. I have to apply to the embassy."

Harrop is now mocking her for managing to stop her getting on a flight.

How can the GMC have any credibility and still grant a licence to someone who is clearly a psychopath who enjoys bullying and harassing women?

The insanity that seems to stalk caroline is shocking. Be careful Caro. There is clearly no depths to which they would not stoop. Be careful with the injunction thing. They prey on you. Lunatics that they are.

Just to be clear: I dont think I've ever made a joke that nasty nor do I plan to and I think AH should be ashamed of himself for joking in that way.

PermanentTemporary · 19/11/2019 17:06

I also hope that it's just an unpleasant joke from AH, the sort any of us might find ourselves making.

I can't really contemplate that anyone at all would try to stop someone else going about their daily lives for almost any reason.

What a hateful man Angry

He is insane.

flobonobo · 19/11/2019 17:01

That Adrian’s a proper childish spiteful dick head. I actually can’t believe he’s a GP. His tweets are embarrassing

LordProfFekkoThePenguinPhD · 19/11/2019 16:59

What/who are they jibbering about in the second one?

PeterRouseTheFleshofMankind · 19/11/2019 16:58

I would seriously hope that Adrian Harrop has seen what has happened with Caroline and then has decided that it would be 'hilarious' to post a pic of the embassy and 'allude' to the fact that he might have been involved as a joke.

Rather than.... Actually being involved? Even he wouldn't do that would he? You would have to be seriously unhinged.

I mean either way it's seriously weird behaviour. Has he been struck off now, he cannot still be any kind of practising doctor can he?!

That sounds awful. Is there any way to gather proof of who decided to revoke the ESTA and why?
If it shows someone was manipulating and abusing such access, I'd imagine it would be a pretty serious breach of protocol.

I'm so sorry this has happened to you. My experience is that we have little sway with foreign embassies but an American citizen complaining about this would have a lot more traction. Embassies are accountable to their citizens, not citizens of foreign govts. I suggest you try to rally our gender critical friends across the pond to complain and get this in the US press. It might only be the right wing press who are interested but they tend to be pretty interested in anything that threatens the first amendment.

Michelleoftheresistance · 19/11/2019 16:36

I would hope the embassy also take legal action if it turns out they have been lied to in order to use them as a means of petty harassment in a personal vendetta.

I'd screenshot all tweets.

OvaHere · 19/11/2019 16:35

I'm sorry Caro. This is appalling harassment.

Stupiddriver1 · 19/11/2019 16:34

But yes if you can find proof it was him try for a criminal conviction against him. Would the American embassy confirm it was him though.,..doubtful?

RagingBall · 19/11/2019 16:33

This is not good. Hope you get to the bottom of it Caroline

Stupiddriver1 · 19/11/2019 16:33

Can you report him to the GMC for harrassment? I know there wouldn’t be enough proof for a court against him but I assume the gmc have a lower threshold and his gloating tweets make it fairly obvious?

Michelleoftheresistance · 19/11/2019 16:32

Caro surely the point has come where you have legal recourse for harassment, if not a restraining order? This is ridiculous, you have civil rights.

Carowiththegoodhair · 19/11/2019 16:29

Sorry, so turned up today for flight and turned away. I was told the ESTA had not been authorised. This is apparently unheard of. None of the airline officials have ever come across this before and nobody informed me that authorisation had been pulled.

Last week the stalking accounts tweeted that I had a big surprise coming. I guess this was it.

Cuntysnark · 19/11/2019 16:29

What a shitshow. Hope it’s resolved. Solidarity Caroline.

Carowiththegoodhair · 19/11/2019 16:26

To be clear. I used to be flight crew and had a valid crew visa.

I applied for an ESTA two weeks ago and it was granted.

I have no criminal convictions, have never been questioned by the police and as far as I know am not under investigation for anything.

The charges I am facing are civil - and it has not yet even been determined whether or not a trial for contempt is going to be allowed to proceed, though an application for a committal hearing has been made.

An account has been set up to cyber stalk and harass me. Last week it tweeted that I would not be allowed entry to the US without a visa, IF convicted.

(Though if convicted I would be a civil prisoner because this is not a CPS case).

As yet I am not facing any criminal charges. I answered all ESTA questions truthfully.

But I was stupid enough to say on FB that I was looking forward to the warm weather.

It is both terrifying that people can act in such a vindictive fashion and a scandal that some random stranger off the internet can make up a load of bunkum, tell the embassy and simply be believed. They probably filed a corresponding hate incident or fake report with the police to make it stick.

LordProfFekkoThePenguinPhD · 19/11/2019 16:06

Under investigation by professional body too. Someone certainly has problems with impulse control.

picklemepopcorn · 19/11/2019 16:04

What petty minded vindictive peabrain would do this sort of thing? How can someone look at themselves in a mirror knowing they interfere in someone else's life in this way over A DIFFERENCE OF OPINION.
