Arlene Foster suing Dr Christian
MissyB1 · 14/04/2021 16:26
Apparently he tweeted that she was having an affair (without any proof), and the way he put it was a spiteful little jibe about her being a “sanctity of marriage preaching woman” adding “it always comes back to bite them on the arse”
Now I understand he might have an issue with her as I think she was against same sex marriage. But this man always strikes me as an arrogant twat and a nasty piece of work.
I tried to post the link but I’m such a technophobe! it’s on BBC news website

Ignoring 13 separate approaches by letter and email to appear in court is pretty darn arrogant.
I will always remember his comments about breastfeeding past 6 months, and the literal disgust he showed for women who did that. He really doesn't like women.

Look at this:
There was no representation on behalf of Dr Jessen in court on Wednesday and the court was told 13 separate approaches by letter and email to Dr Jessen had gone "unanswered".
In the context of not having taking the opportunity to end the matter easily over the past year by issuing a grovelling apology that is astonishing.

The journalist has made her allegiance fairly clear.
Mrs Foster is a member of the Northern Ireland Assembly for Fermanagh and South Tyrone and the first minister of Northern Ireland.
Dr Jessen is best known for presenting Channel Four programme Embarrassing Bodies.

So what if anything has he said about the UK Prime Minister and his behaviour? Which is based on real evidence and testimony, such as that most recently from Jennifer Arcuri.
I expect nothing. It's rare I support anyone in the DUP but hope Arlene Foster wins.
