I have just seen a tweet with a video of a man calling him a liar, its really pissed me off, even his voice is irritating and to attack a man that has worked so hard over the last 2 years.

Saw that. No need for abusing somebody in the street regardless of your views.

LunaHeather · 02/02/2021 22:34

Why does Whitty pause and stand like that rather than keep walking?

Anyway, I can't defend Whitty so....🤷🏻‍♀️

Apparently, he was in a queue for lunch/food. Good on him for not reacting.

Apparently he is socially distancing waiting for his turn in the queue for the coffee kiosk

Regardless of your thoughts on Chris Whitty, though, no one deserves to be publicly called names and filmed. The mans voice is so strange too,

Furries oh, it just looked like he was walking from A to B though
I did notice no coat. Wonder when the filming occurred.

Bluntness100 · 02/02/2021 22:38

This was just some young twat and witty did right to ignore him.

ASchuylerSister · 02/02/2021 22:42

What a wanker that kid is.

No one deserves to be harassed in the street for doing their job.

ASchuylerSister · 02/02/2021 22:44

Does the older man at the end thank whitty for his service? I can’t quite hear him.

Furries · 02/02/2021 22:45

TBH, and it’s obviously slightly off topic, but I don’t care who the target of the video is, where he was or what he was doing. This kind of shit is the absolute downside of SM - and, in various forms, happens to lots of people every day.

Bully-types filming “funny” posts. Not a single thought for who they film and post on line. “Luckily” I think Whitty will be able to brush it off, but so many people can’t.

Back on topic, a Whitty did the right thing ignoring. Though am sure a secret part of him would have wanted to try to blind the idiot with science!

WalrusWife · 02/02/2021 22:46

I don’t like the man but nobody should be abused and bullied.

LunaHeather · 02/02/2021 22:47

If I saw Whitty in the street, l'd stop and ask if he knew my dad, which is possible given their work histories and doctors and their endless networking.

Whether he did or didn't, I'd then say "don't forget, first do no harm". But I'd prefer to invoke the name of my father while doing so.

Iaintaffraidofcoldtoast · 02/02/2021 22:48

Oh dear god can you imagine if that was your son. I’d die of embarrassment. What accent is that!!!!

Poor whitty!

TableFlowerss · 02/02/2021 22:49

What an absolute scum bag that pathetic idiot is for trying to intimidate Chris Whitty.

I hope they catch him and I hope his family are absolutely ashamed of him and give him a massive reality check.

He should be mortified by his actions the little prick!

Accent is a white boy copying a West Indian/London accent.

cantmakealifeofit · 03/02/2021 01:36

I’m disgusted by all of the people taking the piss out of his appearance, tbh. People go way too far with it and I feel incredibly sorry for CW.

WitchesBritchesPumpkinPants · 03/02/2021 01:42

The kid is an odious little prick. I hope he gets reported.

CW doesn't deserve to be subjected to this kind of crap! He seems like a thoroughly decent bloke.

sally067 · 03/02/2021 02:09

Chris Whitty has still been working shifts continuing to treat patients in hospital whilst doing his civil service role and spent Christmas Day on the wards in UCLH saving peoples lives. Why would anyone verbally abuse a doctor? Absolutely disgusting.

TableFlowerss · 03/02/2021 07:09

It makes me feel like crying when I read this shit. It’s bullying and I detest it. How dare that little twerp do that to CW.

The scumbag will get away with it because there’s hardly anything about it anywhere. Even on here, there’s not many replies compared to other posts.

Makes me sick

Againstmachine · 03/02/2021 07:35

The kid is a scumbag, but Whitty and valance presented false stats, which sorta does make him a liar.

AwaAnBileYerHeid · 03/02/2021 07:48

I find it's always the scumbag idiots who shout the loudest and try to drown out the intelligent, educated folk with their embarrassing claptrap. Making themselves look like right morons in the process.

Batfurger · 03/02/2021 07:49

@LunaHeather are you quite well? Remember, being a doctor isn't hereditary, maybe your attitude is?

badpuma · 03/02/2021 08:01

How do you 'do no harm' when harm is inevitable either way and the only question is the degree?

Iaintaffraidofcoldtoast · 03/02/2021 08:11

The clip is on GMTV now

whatisforteamum · 03/02/2021 09:26

What a fine upstanding man Chris Whitty is.Sickening to see him being abused in the street.No one deserves to be treated like this especially not such a hardworking ,modest man like him.Dreadful.

Ihopeyourcakeisshit · 03/02/2021 09:31

Not understanding some of the Chris Whitty criticism?
