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

@Letsgetreadytocrumble

Oh my god the ratio on that GoFundMe tweet!

I am actually really heartened by all this. It does goes to show that arrogant, vile misogyny will actually catch up with you after all. Surely his career will be hugely damaged by this too, I hope Harrop is watching!

It is an absolute joy Grin

I was greatly amused to see that interacting with Maugham played a part in Jessen's downfall.
Ooooh, must look that up! Grin

What a prize arsehole he is ,hopefully he will lose his telly jobs as well

MrsTerryPratchett · 29/05/2021 14:24

It’s like they just don’t feature as human beings in this intellectually stimulating conundrum.

Men as default humans. While we empathise with the frightened child.

He should have lost them a long time ago - the men in Niger tweet, the telling someone who objected to porn being shown to schoolchildren to suck it up, the attack on the woman regarding her having an abortion, the list is long, but, of course, he is a man, a rich, white one and uses his sexual orientation as a shield. So far he has got away with it and been untouchable which is probably why I am enjoying the Judge's comments about him so much, they've been a long time coming.

Wooo if you know what the fox killer said or have a tweet etc please do share. I have a folder!

I can only find interaction with Harrop.

There’s something so very off about the way all his focus was on the men in this scenarios.

He reveals himself a little more in the second tweet in the link below. It seems he thinks it's not just child-rapists in Niger who should be accommodated, but our very own home-grown paedophiles too.

Page 15 of the judgement. CJ's interactions with JM undermined CJ's claims that he'd thought the courts weren't sitting due to Covid, and thus been unaware that Mrs Foster's case against him was progressing.

extract

Further, I note that on 2 December 2020, Dr Jessen retweeted the following tweet from Jo Maugham, who describes himself as a director of the “Good Law Project”, a Barrister and an Honorary Professor at Durham Law School: “We at @GoodLawProject are taking advice from several leading QCs in relation to yesterday’s decision of the High Court which we believe to be legally, scientifically and morally flawed.” The case being referred to was the Divisional Court decision of Quincy Bell and Mrs A v The Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust [2020] EWHC 3274 (Admin), Dame Victoria Sharpe P, Lord Justice Lewis and Lieven J, which was handed down on 1 December 2020. It dealt with the issue of whether children with gender dysphoria could lawfully consent to treatment in the form of puberty blocking drugs.
[43]

Earlier on 2 December 2020, Dr Jessen had responded to a tweet by Jo Maugham in which Mr Maugham had informed his followers that following the decision of the High Court on 1 December 2020, a “crowd funding” page in relation to transgender litigation had been re-opened. Dr Jessen’s response was in the following terms: “Great work. Thank you for helping. X.”

Thanks Purgatory!

Someone has donated £500 to Dr Jessen.

A twitter superfan, who tweets him often, hoping for a little crumb of acknowledgment, which seldom happens.
PurgatoryOfPotholes · 29/05/2021 16:39

How can she possibly afford to spend that much on him?

ThursdayWeld · 29/05/2021 17:01

So he basically just lied himself through the court case?

Horrible, horrible man Angry

That is actually really sad, shame on jessen if he keeps that donation

Tibtom · 29/05/2021 17:10

Isn't lying to court a criminal offence?

Never mind afford to.....

How anyone can read that judgement and have any sympathy for him whatsoever is beyond me.

The cheeky fucker has set up a donation website for the public to pay his legal fees.

MrsTerryPratchett · 29/05/2021 17:33

I gave evidence to the court about my mental health and personal circumstances over the last year but was ordered to pay libel damages and full indemnity legal costs incurred by her, which are substantial. I am considering an appeal and I am seeking to raise funds to help me to fight what is a most unfair situation.

How is it unfair? He libeled her and was found to have libeled her. The GoFundMe also goes on about how he is a champion of gay rights, HIV education, LGBTQ+ rights. Is his argument that if you do good in the world, you are allowed to do bad to balance it out? Or is he implying the case was something to do with gay rights and HIV? Relying on people's lack of critical thinking and reading skills maybe.

By that logic I guess he's a big supporter of JK Rowling? She's done quite a lot of good things with her money.

Pinuporc · 29/05/2021 17:37

I didnt know anything about this story until today.
I looked up his go fund me page to see why he needed help to pay his legal fees. The blurb asking for donations literally tells gullible fans what a great guy he is but doesnt really explain why he couldnt either have deleted the tweet in the first place or just stumped up and paid his own fees.Confused
He does seem very arrogant.

PurgatoryOfPotholes · 29/05/2021 17:49

We were discussing the Fistula Foundation earlier, weren't we MrsTerry?

fistulafoundation.org/

The site says $586 covers providing one procedure. According to an online currency converter, £150,000 is $212842.34 USD.

So, according to the calculator on my phone, the £150k he's asking for could provide 363 women with surgery to restore their continence. Seems a bit more worthwhile, doesn't it.

Bouledeneige · 29/05/2021 17:58

Pretty surprised that a feminism board would be so wholeheartedly supportive of Arlene Foster. Apart from being personally embroiled in the green energy saga and mis-spending claims, she was leader of the party that led the Save Ulster from Sodomy campaign in the 1970s, which opposes gay marriage and is against abortion except for in the few cases of life ending disabilities. Okay a few of their policies may have been cosmetically softened under her leadership but she's not someone I'd want to be in alliance with. Very shocked.
