Arlene Foster suing Dr Christian

[MissyB1]

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

Whatever her politics and beliefs. she has every right to sue him, you can't just go around making shit up to suit yourself. He obviously thinks he's untouchable. Dickhead misogynist.

I don’t care about Arlene’s politics.

I do care about people smearing other peoples reputation just because they think they can get away with it.

The arrogance of the man not engaging with the court.

Good, he’s a nasty piece of work.

There does need to be more love in this thread for Accentor's Come on Arlene!

Good. I don’t like AF at all. But he spouts the worst kind of misogyny and I hope she wins. There’s no flies on her so I’m betting she will!

I did appreciate it and am now singing it in my head

I also hope she sues the arse off him. I don’t agree with her politics but a personal attack on her was inappropriate.

He really does seem to hate women, but he won’t be the first man to underestimate Arlene

@Accentor

God, he's a revolting misogynist. Come on Arlene!

It's not just Dr Jessen she's pursuing, it's also the people who re tweeted his post.

I’m no Arlene fan, but Dr Christian is a horror. And I wouldn’t cross her, either. Not in a million.

Come on Arlene.

Just seen on the news it took him 2 weeks to delete the tweet, he’s refused to apologise and reckons it’s not a defamatory tweet! He’s shocking!

Can't imagine Arlene would lose this one somehow.

Arlene for the win on this one.

Good luck to her

Come on Arlene. Lol!

Arlene said she receives awful hate messages, and she’s just had enough so decided to sue him.

He’s an arrogant, misogynist and I sincerely hope he has to pay her substantial damages.

Couldn't happen to a nicer chap.

The British legal system for defamation is tough whether anyone wins or not.

@MissyB1

Oh thanks Rabbit well done.

I’m not her biggest fan but no one deserves that.

Same. Never thought I'd be on Arlene's side on anything.

I've been reading previous threads on him. What a thoroughly despicable man. Am on Team Arlene.

[quote Chocolatepeanuts]@Datun I'm no Arlene fan but I'd say that quote is just factual! It was an awfull quote and the memes that arose from that rumour were appalling. I feel for her children have their mum talked about like that. I hope she wins![/quote]
It might just be factual but the facts could easily have been given without that wonderfully belittling juxtaposition.

I am not a fan of Arlenes but I hope she wins.

Pretty sure I remember him and Harrop having lovely little twitfests together.

No brief to defend Arlene Foster here either, but misogyny is wrong whether you like the woman or not.

Adding to the chorus of come on Arlene, though not generally a fan. Rare Mumsnet agreement.

Yes, they bonded over their shared view that child marriage was fiiiiine if it was your culture and it was just silly Western imperialist feminist pigs who couldn't see this

Can you see the misogyny yet?
