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

@MissyB1

I love the way he admits his comments about Italians are “just a little bit racist” Oh well just a little bit racist is ok then? Ffs!!

Like when he decided child rape of black and broken girls was grand because it was their "culture".

Couldn't happen to a nicer man...

Come on Arlene.

Dr Embarassing bods is claiming he didn’t receive any papers so he’s being given an opportunity to give evidence on Friday which will delay judgement

@TheCountessofFitzdotterel

I just looked up his Italy comments (in the interests of not believing everything I am told on the internet). Omg. That didn’t age well.

That interview hasn't aged well!

Dr Christian tells court he has mental health problems.

Call me cynical, but I have seen that used before by a man who got caught doing something he shouldn't.

Makes a change from citing 'struggling with gender identity' though I suppose

Under cross-examination, he told the court he "honesty believed the rumours were true" because there was "extensive online comment

You'd think that a doctor or a serious professional of some standing, would know that on-line social media platforms are not the same as real life. What a lame and pathetic excuse.

Being a cunt is not a mental health problem.

The more read about this guy the more I think what an unpleasant individual he is.

Yes. That's an insult to the many thousands of people who live with mental health problems and manage not to libel & insult people.

@Deliriumoftheendless

Being a cunt is not a mental health problem.

I object!

Surely he lacks the appropriate warmth and depth for this label.

There is no space for him in Suzanne Moore's notional organisation…

For those not clicking on the news.sky.com link:

Dr Jessen, who presents the Embarrassing Bodies programme, said he had not read or watched news for 12 months because he was suffering from "really quite serious mental health problems" and knew nothing of the court hearing.

The judge, Mr Justice McAliden, disputed that on the basis that Dr Jessen had tweeted articles from The Sunday Times and the BBC and had questioned the government's COVID measures.

Reading that makes me wince. But in a good way. Dr Christian's next telly programme: Embarrassing Testimonies.

She is no saint and he should have apologised

Makes a change from citing 'struggling with gender identity' though I suppose

He's obviously not being advised by lawyers. "I thought it was true" is not a defence that will be accepted by the court. Neither is "I had mental health problems" unless he can provide a doctor's note.

He's a like a child who swears he didn't eat chocolate when his hands and face are covered in it. Pathetic.

Comment of the day, brilliant.

I expect he’ll find a friend to write one for him.

@LizzieSiddal

Can he find one who hasn't been suspended?

Red I’m bit out of the loop- is AH still a “Dr”?

LizzieSiddal AH was still listed as a gp on Brownlee medical practice recently.

@Guavafish

She is no saint and he should have apologised

So only saintly women are worthy of protection? In the same way a woman's sexual history means she can be raped with impunity?

Sadly, I think AH is still a Dr Lizzie, I was unsure about the outcome of the numerous complaints made to the GMC.
