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

Also Jesus at the fundraiser.

How on earth did he think that was the right thing to do? Rather than stepping back a bit until it blows over.

So he feels that he's been hard done by. He feels sorry for himself. He doesn't see why he should have to cough up. He puts that out there which will make the story run longer and more people see the judges comments which were. Not flattering.

He's had a long term TV career. Radio as well probs. He worked in Harley Street FFS.

To be frank. This reaction is exactly how my brother used to behave when caught doing something wrong. And other men over known. Not my fault. Not fair! Why am I being picked on. Blah blah blah.

He libelled the first minister of a country FFS.

He worked in Harley Street FFS

That's easy to do. You just hire a room.

March 2021

'Abortion activists have roundly criticised Sinn Fein MLAs for abstaining on a vote to amend Northern Ireland’s abortion laws on Monday evening.

Twenty-seven Sinn Fein MLAs abstained on the Severe Foetal Impairment Abortion Bill – presented by the DUP MLA Paul Givan.

The Private Member’s Bill seeks to prevent abortions being carried out in cases of non-fatal disabilities, including Down’s syndrome.

The bill passed through to its second stage, after the Assembly Members voted 48 votes to 12 in favour of passing it.'

Sinn Fein and the DUP are the biggest parties I believe.

There's context and background. Like I say though, I marched against them.

This is about a long term misogynist man libelling a woman.

I am pleased she stuck it to him. The fact I disagree with her politics is not a factor for me.

Thursday what's your point?

It must cost tonnes to hire a room there.

Anyway he said he was employed there.

What is your point with that comment? I'm not at all sure!

Nope, you can hire rooms by the hour.

My point was that people think that being a "Harley Street doctor" is somehow impressive. When anyone can hire a room there and call themselves a Harley St doctor.

Like I say what's your point?

Are you saying you don't believe he has much money?

@NiceGerbil

You're going in on that poster but I think they were just pointing out that some people (not on here) are blinded by the perceived prestige of working on Harley St when the reality is that anyone who can afford the rent of a room in that location can work from there...

Well sure but he's had a very long media career and it says he was employed at a Harley Street place.

He's very well known im sure he can charge top whack for consultations.

So the ins and outs of Harley Street. Ok fair enough.

Him crowdfunding to pay for being found guilty of libel is outrageous.

Yes I think that is the posters point - he clearly has enough money to rent space in Harley St yet is brass necked enough to ask for financial aid. Some people may not realise that the Harley St thing is basically a vanity address rather than one gained on merit. You seem to think people are disagreeing with you when they're sharing your POV on all of this.

Ah ok it said he was employed in Harley Street though.

Wiki. If he doesn't have any money then fuck knows what he's done with it.

'From 2007 to 2015, Jessen co-presented Embarrassing Bodies alongside Pixie McKenna and Dawn Harper. The show has had a number of spin-off series including Embarrassing Teenage Bodies, Embarrassing Bodies: Kids and Embarrassing Fat Bodies.[4]

Another spin off was set in Australia in 2013 called Embarrassing Bodies Down Under, which Jessen co-hosted with Brad McKay, Ginni Mansberg, and Sam Hay.[5]

He presented Channel 4's Supersize vs Superskinny series from 2008 until 2014.

In 2012, Jessen appeared as the health and fitness expert in Hotel GB. He was the winner of popular culinary show Ready Steady Cook[6] and has appeared as a celebrity contestant on The Weakest Link.[citation needed] He was also the winner of the BBC show Antiques Master.[citation needed]

He was Jack Osbourne's doctor during the filming of Finding God, and also featured in Harley Street, a documentary.[7] Other television appearances include Sex in Court and The Wright Stuff.[citation needed]

In 2012 and 2014, he co-presented the Stand Up to Cancer telethon alongside Davina McCall and Alan Carr.

In 2014, he produced and starred in a documentary series for television called Undercover Doctor: Cure Me I’m Gay.[8] In the series, Jessen investigates therapies purported to be "cures" for homosexuality.[9]

In an appearance on Loose Women, Jessen performed a live HIV test on a woman and drew criticism for not wearing protective gloves. Jessen defended his actions and called for more understanding on how HIV spreads.[10]

In 2018, he co-starred and produced a documentary series for television called Dr Christian: 12 hours to cure your Street, in which he travelled across the UK in a mobile clinic to treat individuals in their hometowns. Visiting a range of areas, Dr Christian attempted to do as many house calls and appointments as he could within a 12-hour shift. His co-star was Sara Katyat.[11]

Fair enough but I think you've gone after that poster a bit when they're making the same point as you - that anything attached to the name Harley St (whether self employed or employed) doesn't mean what many people think and rather than being prestigious, it can just be a sign of money or media profile or being well connected. And therefore his fundraising is extra wanky. Same point you're making.

He worked for this outfit.
www.doctorcall.co.uk/
It provides private GPs. Of course he's not actually a GP.

I genuinely don't get how women on this thread think it's a bad thing to celebrate a woman taking a rampant misogynist to court and winning.

The court case confirms that he owns two flats in his building, one of which he lives in. A typical flat there goes for upwards of £1million.
So remind me: why does he need a GoFundMe again ...?

Also Jesus at the fundraiser.

After your previous post re: nuns I started reading thinking it was one of Jesus parables and was confused as I didn't remember the story!

You weren't the only one there @FannyCann

The Good Samaritan

Crowdfunding in this instance makes a joke of our legal system. Where's the punishment if you're going to get a load of mugs to pay it for you? If fines are calculated on personal circumstances then he should have to prove the money has come out of his own pocket.

So remind me: why does he need a GoFundMe again ...?

He charges £150 for a half hour consultation.

Working 6 hours a day, fully booked, he'd make 9K in a week.

Not supporting AF in this instance is a symptom of a wider issue of black and white, good or bad, thinking. Women in particular are judged this way because they aren’t seen as fully human, unlike complex beings with penises who can be separated from their art or whatever.

I don’t agree with pro lifers or anti gay marriage stuff but I will defend the right for people to have these views as long as they don’t harm others in doing so, such as picketing abortion clinics and intimidating staff and patients. And even then it’s about their behaviour not them as a whole person. I will also defend their rights. Much worse people have their rights defended and rightly so.

If crowdfunder had any morals then it would be against their terms of service to subvert the justice system in this way.

@Tibtom

I thought Jessen's GFM was deliberately ambiguously worded to avoid any accusations of violating their TOS.

I have a problem with some inviting people to fund something they could afford themselves. Even if they have to get rid of some possessions/property/liquidise assets.

It is fine if you don’t actually want to fund something. But say so.

People may support you when they have a lot less disposable income than you. How is that fair? It isn’t noble. That is for sure.

Jessen has gone crying to the Daily Mail and is being economical with the truth. Despite that, he is getting blasted in the comments.
