I thought this may be of interest:

www.mpts-uk.org/hearings-and-decisions/medical-practitioners-tribunals/dr-adrian-harrop-nov-21

The tribunal will inquire into the allegation that from 10 May 2018 to 23 November 2019, Dr Harrop inappropriately used his Twitter account to post tweets that were offensive and/or insulting and/or inappropriate in nature and some of which were intended to intimidate.

@Motorina - sorry to put you on the spot here... does this existing panel have the authority to deal with any 'fall out/implications' if AH has shared confidential material (or allowed it to be shared) within this hearing or would it require the process to be started again to deal with any possible misdemeanours...?

Artichokeleaves · 17/11/2021 16:23

I'm hanging around hoping Motorina might share her views. And appreciating the posters here in helping with understanding the full ramifications of this.

spondoolikay · 17/11/2021 16:21

Re Vice. Is @Motorina around, would love her views on the latest development and also is it worth us all complaining to MPTS just to register concern? I am worried they won't take it seriously.

FlibbertyGiblets · 17/11/2021 16:21

Open mouthed disbelief.
Wait, what?!

If Harrop is not struck off after this I’m never going to be able to trust the medical profession with personal info again

This.

IGotHam · 17/11/2021 16:15

This dude is something else. He's like one of these QAnon fanatics; he really believes that he's fighting the good fight.

@RedDogsBeg

One of the tweets Harrop is in the dock for is his naming and giving details of someone's workplace on Twitter and him refusing to remove it despite being asked and the person informing him that it was a safety issue for them, and now he has just given all those details to Vice News.

He knows damn well what he has done, he knows the violence, intimidation and threats women in this debate suffer and he doesn't fucking care, he has now let loose further attack dogs by sharing this information.

The GMC should strike his name from the Register now and seek to have criminal charges brought against him.

He has quite successfully scuppered any chance he had of playing the regret and lessons learned card.

I agree with criminal charges, this is outrageous.

beastlyslumber · 17/11/2021 16:12

That's so fucked up.

Surely they have no choice but to strike him off now? Has he broken the law - can criminal charges now be brought?

Can the court issue an injunction to the press, to ensure they don't publish witness details?

The implied threat in the Vice disclaimer that witnesses are "currently" being kept anonymous is very unsettling.
I hadnt clocked that, awful.

Live now: Sorry this is a break from my thread which I will continue with. On return from the break the GMC have just informed the chair of a news article they have been just made aware of. The hearing has just be adjourned for the GMC to seek further information &

for AH Counsel to speak to him on this matter only; nothing else is allowed to be discussed with his counsel now he has begun to give evidence[/quote]
I actually feel sick that he could have passed that info to Vice. If Harrop is not struck off after this I’m never going to be able to trust the medical profession with personal info again Sad

Grandville · 17/11/2021 16:07

I'm quite surprised they are continuing today. I wonder if it's because they don't want a break in his evidence? I am also Shock at how he thought that article would help him.

Is he mates with the fox murderer? He has form for leaking confidential court documents.

AlfonsoTheUnrepentant · 17/11/2021 16:04

I wonder what Harrop's barrister is thinking right now.

CompleteGinasaur · 17/11/2021 16:04

Wakefield's!

CompleteGinasaur · 17/11/2021 16:03

I think we're looking at a narcissistic moron who thinks of himself as a kind of trans martyr Andrew Wakefield? Being struck off for being malignantly wrong hasn't hurt his financial prospects at all..

nauticant · 17/11/2021 16:03

Another possibility is that AH thought he was priming Ben Hunte to write an article and get it published once the hearing was concluded and BH, not known for having the very best professional standards, got excited over having a scoop and rushed out the article immediately.

FindTheTruth · 17/11/2021 16:03

Hearing has started again but they are investigating the article

@selfcommit2othe
GMC reports vice media article. More investigation to done. Chair confirms the hearing is not using names to identify people but are aware some witnesses have gone public themselves. (Not said in a dismissive way) The hearing continues.

Searching for the remnants of his career

@nauticant

I'm wondering whether Harrop has decided that his medical career is so compromised that he's done this to make himself a martyr and to use that status to move onto full-time campaigning and handing out puberty blocking drugs to children.

I pondered that idea, but I don't think that's the case.

I believe he's so bought in to the owenesque concept of "right side of history" he can't grasp that he's done anything wrong and that ultimately people including the panel will agree that morally his cause (and thus the means) was just.

You can see from his evidence that he's very much playing the card of moral crusader.

ArabellaScott · 17/11/2021 16:01

VICE World News was sent all of the material being discussed in the tribunal, including the full dossier of allegations, witness statements, and documents defending the doctor.

Data Protection?! Is this not actually a criminal offence?

I was wondering that. There are so many similarities between HW and Harrop I thought perhaps they might make it a joint venture.

Can he still do that if he’s struck off?
Signalbox · 17/11/2021 15:58

Wouldn't surprise me if the entitled little wassock has shared that dossier amongst all his friends including JP.

This might be the thing that JP said they knew that nobody else knew. I wonder if Harrop has a single friend who would have told him it was a dreadful idea!
