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

I’ve just read the judgement and enjoyed it immensely. He obviously thought ignoring the whole issue would make it go away. LOL.

Did not expect bagpipes to feature but those odd little details just made it all the more glorious.

@AppleJane

Does anyone have any more info on the Italian thing?! What an arse!

I'm glad you asked as I didn't know that either.

I have a vague recollection of him saying something but I'd forgotten the details.

@TheShadowyFeminist not much shocks me these days but I'm truly flabbergasted about the Italian thing!!

@waterlego think I'll give the judgement a go after your description, especially about the bagpipes!

@AppleJane definitely read the judgement - it's a masterpiece

I've just had a look at his GoFundMe. Out of a target of £150,000, he's up to £8,772.

I bet that's a big disappointment to him!

Yeh, I bet he thought he'd show them he was the people's princess

@C0nstance

🤣🤣🤣

The Italians are absolutely slaughtering him on Twitter. It’s rather glorious to see!

I found the following article on his original comments. It includes the following:

“Jessen, 43, told FUBAR Radio’s Access All Areas that he believed the virus to be “like a bad cold really” and claimed that people are “more worried than we need to be. This might be a little bit racist to say this, but you’ll have to make apologies, but do you not think it’s a bit of an excuse?” he said. “The Italians, any old excuse to, you know, shut down everything and stop work for a bit and have a long siesta.”

So he’s a covid denier? A nurse was struck off by the nmc for being a covid denier. Shame the gmc aren’t likely to be so proactive.

Not as popular as he thought he was, no. I think he is probably very hurt his gofundme has raised so little.

I would imagine (if this was me) that the lack of gofundmefunds might smart more than the fine.

DH saw him walking along the street a couple of weeks ago. He lives near us. He was apparently wearing a very snazzy shirt.

(Sorry, completely irrelevant.)

Especially as he said in his pitch: “Any monies raised surplus to the costs will be donated to relevant charities.”
He thought there would be a surplus!
The arrogance is breathtaking.

Private Eye this week.

Lol @ the Private Eye piece. Very good

Would be made perfect if they’d referred to him as a misogynist celebrity though, I think that fact made a huge difference to his actions.

I see the fundraiser is at £9000. Which is £9000 too much for my liking but a long way short of £150,000.

How long has it taken to get to £9k? Most good causes would get that in hours. He's making himself look a right dick. No doubt he won't get any more 'work' and he'll blame Foster for that too. Man baby.

Yes, I think Marion Millar’s GoFundMe got to £13k in about three hours.

I see one donation is attributed to ‘Slab Murphy’. I suspect many of the small donations are anti DUP rather than positive CJ donations

I think he launched it the day of the judgment. So several weeks

Weeks it would be interesting to know how much he's raised from people who actually like him rather than dislike Foster.

Judging by the comments, a significant proportion are donating as a V sign to Foster.

@teawamutu

They are basically giving her money though, in a roundabour way. I don’t think they thought it through! 🤣

I know lady 🤣
