Dr Adrian Harrop's revenge porn bullying

Ah well, it's no matter either way really, so no worries from me. It was just a pleasant 5 minute diversion from the washing up.

I think people like Adrian Harrop should definitely stay on Twitter, and keep espousing their very tolerant views.

Ah, possibly I was looking at a suspended fake account - that one is still suspended but I can now see another.
I'm not on Twitter, so I don't really understand it. Apologies.

Are you confusing him with Aidan Comerford? He's the one who's been obsessively tweeting about Magdalen. Nothing noteworthy from Harrop that I can see.

He's been talking about Magdalen again.

I really don't want to post a screenshot, but if you go to Fionne's Twitter feed, there's a screenshot there.

Adrian uses terfblocker, which is why you may not be able to find him if you search for him.

What did he do? I can’t see anything unusual on his Twitter.

He's still there... unfortunately.

He's not posted for a few hours but his account is still there.

Are you sure. I can still see it.

.

Oh well if that's true its cheered me up.

I'll bet his suspension doesn't prompt thousands os posts in protest.

Really?

Oh dear. Shame.

I don't know what's happened - his account has been suspended.

What's happened? (not on twitter)

This man has hit a new low today

He is responsible for LGBTQ+ community engagement for the Royal College of GPs

What? Are they aware of how he actually engages with people? I find this astonishing. There must be thousands of more suitable GPs for this role.

Even as an LGBT... friendly doctor he is a disaster
So true.

There's no L in his framework.

Harrop is frightening, but not in the way he wants to be. He’s a complete law unto himself and has an obvious pathological hatred of women. I really hope the police get off their arses and do something about the image he’s distributing - that’s so distanced from any ‘controversial’ trans issues they have no excuse to avoid it. He’s such a horrifically creepy little weasel.

Even as an LGBT... friendly doctor he is a disaster. Imagine being the concerned parent, (especially mother) of an ROGD teen (especially girl). How could anyone feel confident of getting impartial, helpful advice from him?

Totally different case obv, but I recently had reason to be concerned about treatment my daughter's GP had prescribed. She is an adult, so there's no point in me ringing up as they wouldn't deal with me. So I wrote a letter listing my concerns and stating that I had discussed them with her and sent her in with the letter. A more senior GP at the practice saw her, read the letter, discontinued the medication I was concerned about, ordered the blood tests I suggested (which proved to be in the abnormal range) and thanked me for writing down my concerns clearly. Obviously I am extremely happy with the outcome. Does anyone think a consultation with Adrian Harrop would go the same way?

I've lost count but at least two women in this thread have voiced concerns about either themselves or their relatives using the practice for fear of being seen by Dr Harrop. This is very serious.

I suggest women patients in the area (he works for the OOH service too) complain if they feel his blatant misogyny, demonstrated on social media, makes them reluctant to seek medical care.

I note that though he no longer has "Dr" on his Twitter profile, he now has GP. Same thing really.

I think his employers are in a difficult position. He is responsible for LGBTQ+ community engagement for the Royal College of GPs, and so will effectively be untouchable. Any attempt to challenge his twitter and other social media engagement would presumably bring the whole weight of Stonewall down on them with plenty of cries of "phobe" along the way.

Who cares if female patients might feel uncomfortable. As always women are simply colateral.

If you play in the mud you're going to get dirty hands.

If someone is known to be highly and often rather inappropriately active on social media for someone in a professional position of public trust - which would be regarded in itself as absolutely unacceptable in many spheres of work - and that social media feed shows that inappropriate activity around the victims of this event, then it's hardly surprising when one's place of work is connected that you become implicated in this and viewed with suspicion.

Which is why in every job I've had since social media started, there was a strong staff social media policy and I've known people warned or even sacked for breaching it. You have to be seen as worthy of public trust, and maintain a professional code of behaviour or you risk getting dragged into tricky public messes, or bringing your work place into disrepute.
