Posted his request about 5 minutes ago (or at least thats when I saw it) on twitter.

Im not even particularly anti trans, but when I see attempts to whip up mobs like that, I feel that hes making people anti trans.

Sort makes me want to resort to making insidious dog whistle anti trans rhetoric just to fuck with him.

Leaving his trans stance aside, going by the rest of his twitter offerings, hes definitely not the person I would want as a GP. Lacks decorum and gravitas.

Oh gawd sorry to cause you pain tellmewhen Shock...but it really is my favourite name for him Grin

Dr Harrop really is a nasty piece of work who hates women.

Ilovechocolate01 · 16/04/2020 14:20

Please can you highlight... and send to us

Sounds like he's being fobbed off to me Grin. You do all the work and we'll 'look into it' whilst alienating our main customer base (not)

This is collective punishment, the discussion about trans is way beyond MN and fully in the political and public domain.

Exactly. The cat is out of the bag. And they know it.

I'm wondering if that's why Arla has asked for examples.

ThinEndoftheWedge · 16/04/2020 14:10

Could somebody post the it’ll never happen threads...

ForbiddenFromNaples · 16/04/2020 14:08

'' inform them he is under investigation by the GMC for his online behaviour?''

Holy shit is that true? If you look at his twitter output, he does pay a lot of attention to a certain type of twink. At best its unseemly, but really its crrepy AF

They know this.

Well, he has to try anything to regain attention since people are more concerned about staying safe right now.

You’ve got a point Molten. Most companies are struggling for their basic survival with huge cash flow problems; redeploying or furloughing staff; organising emergency loans from unhelpful banks etc etc. But Harrop seems to think that in the midst of an unprecedented global pandemic Arla will put all that to one side and deal with his one man quest to destroy a website. 🤦‍♀️
He’s insane.

In a pandemic, where thousands of people have died in the past week alone, our dear doctor is there trying to stop women talking to each other . What a creepy little man he is. Bring down Mumsnet ? Honestly. Mummy issues there I think.

MoltenLasagne · 16/04/2020 14:02

A couple of weeks ago dairies local to us were having to pour milk down the drains because their industrial contracts had disappeared and they didn't have the packaging to convert to consumer supply.

There's been a massive effort throughout the food industry to switch to direct to customer because of the impacts of Covid. I'm amazed Dr H thinks they're going to prioritise the vendetta of a couple of sad little men over, you know, keeping the whole business going. Something, something disconnect with reality...

His stated objective is MN's 'financial ruin'.

Hey, advertisers, I need you to help me remove the source of your own income!

FleecyMoo · 16/04/2020 13:59

Arla make the lacto free milk that I have to drink due to severe lactose intolerance. I'm not 100% sure what's going on here but does this mean I can no longer buy lacto free milk since I believe the same dairy makes Tesco's own brand? How much more misery do these sad individuals have to cause others just to feed their own sense of entitlement and being 'special'.

I had really hoped that the narcissists would be furloughed during a global pandemic but it appears that the sad sacks are working as usual

Datun · 16/04/2020 13:59

All these women, gathered together, unprecedented in history. An advertisers dream.

Does he really think they're going to listen to someone who thinks that the definition of the word woman is hateful bigotry? The very people they are advertising to? It's crazy.

KenDodd · 16/04/2020 13:56

Right well that's me decided, off to sign up the MN premium. Thanks to the nudge from Adrian Harrop.

DocHolliday · 16/04/2020 13:54

Arla's Head Office is in Leeds.
Haunt of certain eejits
Shall we organise the many screenshots of Haddocks hateful twitter pronouncements and forward them to Arla and inform them he is under investigation by the GMC for his online behaviour?

Please send them all you have. He doesn't seem to have much else to do in this crisis. I don't know any women who would be happy to be treated by him. He would not get near me no matter how ill I was.

Al1Langdownthecleghole · 16/04/2020 13:52

I wonder how Arla dairies work out which cows to milk?

Very good Jiggery.

Now why would a Dr want to shut down Mumsnet at a time when victims of domestic abuse are particularly vulnerable?

parietal · 16/04/2020 13:52

you know, this thread has inspired me to sign up to Mumsnet Premium. Best way to keep this place safe from loss of advertising revenue.

R0wantrees · 16/04/2020 13:52

Dad of trans call to arms....Because one section of the site does not agree with them they want to deprive women of what is for many their main source of support.

Interesting to see the men who are leading the attack on women raising concerns about Safeguarding children & sex-based rights.

isabellerossignol · 16/04/2020 13:51

As we've seen from Flora and Birdseye this works

Grin Have they not worked out that it's actually Flora and Birdseye who lose the most by not advertising straight to a demographic that is perfect for the products they sell.

stumbledin · 16/04/2020 13:50

Think he has gone into panic mode. Despite him and other trans activists trying to create this impression of murderous women mouthing hate speech, it has become clear through recent publicity that few believe him / them. (After all its only Pink News whoever write this up as an actual thing.)

In a way it is a compliment to mumsnet that despite what some of us feel is a rather tight moderating of discussion, women are still writing about and exposing the lies of some trans activism.

Or of course just a way of trying to get the trans issue back on the mainstream media agenda, because lets face it the new reality of a global pandemic not that many people are wasting time on endlessly mutable identities, and both the Scottish and the Westeminster Parliament have put the GRA on the back burner.

There are priorities, and then there are real life priorities.

It's almost as if they have no idea of the history surrounding the advertising of milk products to mothers. But y'know, that's just little stuff for women, isn't it?

Datun · 16/04/2020 13:47

Quite Laura.

Marketing milk? Let's stop marketing it to the biggest group of women and mothers in history, because of a single doctor's own personal crusade against them.
