Posted a photo of himself on social media wearing a lanyard badge saying he’s exempt from wearing a mask and boasting that he bought it from Amazon. With the hashtag #anxiety.

Needs the hashtag #selfishtwat

@Adios2011

I would love to know what Billie thinks, I know they are Ex's now and she has moved on, but I'd love to know what she really thinks about what he is saying and doing lately.
She’s far far brighter than him so I suspect she’s just standing back and letting him hang himself with his own rope. He’s really nasty about her according to my source, really snobby, really unkind about her background, family etc but he’s clutching at straws because “despite her background” she’s doing far better than him and is far sharper. He’s seething that someone so ‘common’ doesn’t know their place. She just needs to stand back and keep quiet though she must be concerned about his rather unhinged approach of late as he is the father of her children.

Can’t stand the man but you can’t prove or disprove someone has anxiety as it can just come on so people like him will abuse the system people make a joke of anxiety or think having a bad day is anxiety it gets played too easily so the people who really do suffer are made to suffer even more. I don’t have it but I’ve seen people with it and how debilitating it can really be 😡

@RubaiyatOfAnyone

He was my secret crush in Lewis for so long. It’s so disappointing to find out he’s an absolute tool. Am i still legally allowed to fancy DS Hathaway if i disown all knowledge of the actor Grin?
Oh my goodness this is me too! Used to think he was gorgeous. Cant bare to look at him now I know what he's like.
Adios2011 · 16/01/2021 21:10

I'm sure I've read somewhere before about the snobbery towards Billie from him and his family.
She's done so well for herself and I'm so glad for her!!

Truelymadlydeeplysomeonesmum · 16/01/2021 21:11

Can't decide if he is having some kind of breakdown in the last year or is just a fuckwitHmm

Slub · 16/01/2021 21:43

I rather fancy him as Sargent Hathaway in Lewis.

As you were.

rosetylersbiggun · 16/01/2021 22:17

Good thing too. You can’t deprive a child of a parent just because the parent has become politically embarrassing and enjoys making a div of themselves on social media.

That's a really uncalled for comment.

We know nothing about what went on inside their marriage, and stating she had concerns over his parenting solely because of his online political statements is absurd.

Her decision to go for sole custody clearly had nothing to do with his online comments because the final High Court ruling was three years ago, at least 18 months before he started making these political statements in the first place. He's basically admitted depression over the divorce and custody battle is what caused him to fall into the YouTube wormhole which radicalised him. Not the other way around.

We can't know why Billie made the decision to try to prevent him from having access to the children, but in his interviews he's admitted to screaming at her and "trying to wind her up" and his own descriptions make him sound at best emotionally abusive. He was also accused of sexual harassment by a makeup artist and responded by taking a copy of the woman's complaint letter to a journalist and doing a strange 'performance monologue' of it, which is deeply weird and certainly indicates a deep distain for women.

Two programmes coming up on BBC2 ................Silenced The Hidden Story of Disabled Britain. And Targeted The Truth About Disability Hate Crime.
Could be a chance for people to share their experiences of mask exemption hatred on the Twitter hashtags.

MadameBlobby · 17/01/2021 01:04

He’s an absolute dick, Billie must be delighted to have binned him off

Adios2011 · 17/01/2021 03:44

I just cant imagine what she seen in him, unless he was the perfect gentleman untill they got married!

Tunnocksmallow · 17/01/2021 04:04

As somebody on Twitter said
“Imagine realising Chris Evans ISN’T your worst ex-husband”

Port1aCastis · 17/01/2021 04:28

I have three words for the man

Attention Seeking Knob

Berk!

At the start of all this, before the Sunflower lanyard thing was well known, you could get the actual thing to go round your neck free from a lot of places. I got 2, one from Tesco and one from Argos. The card you put on the bottom could be purchased, or alternatively you could download and print an exemption badge from the government website.
I did that, cut up a poly pocket plastic thing, job done, cost nothing. I hasten to add it was for my elderly neighbour who has COPD who tried wearing a mask but couldn't.
However, I could have just as easily done it for me but I didn't because I'm not a twat!
Mind you, I did want to make a badge saying " I'm exempt so fuck off from asking" but I thought an 87 year old lady might have an issue with that!

Carrotcakeforbreakfast · 17/01/2021 13:10

Yes he is a twat.
Let's hope he doesn't get it ay.

My friend saw him being chucked out of a bar in London once as he was trying to push his way to the front of the queue for the bar all " don't you know who I am"

So I'm not surprised he behaves like a moron on a daily basis.

PrincessNutNuts · 17/01/2021 16:54

Isn't he the one who left his 5 year old alone in the car. The crying child attracted the attention of the police, who berated him on his return. The child then denied crying to his angry father. Who of course took to Twitter to complain about being "harassed" by the police.

I didn't know who the bloke was at the time, but it stuck in my mind as potentially the way an abusive man behaves. (Breaks the law, neglects a child, but it's everyone else's fault.) And how a child might lie to an abusive parent.

I think his girlfriends often look like hostages in pictures too.

Since then I have discovered I know people who have had dealings with him. Descriptions of him range from "tedious" to "smells". Grin
