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

In the case of Katie Hopkins and Monroe, Monroe didn't even get that big an award in damages!

125k+ opponent's legal costs.

He also has a column in Closer magazine where he gives 'advice '. Quite why anyone would want to
hear advice from a man who thinks that 'child brides' are fine and just an example of cultural difference, rather than child abuse. He is friends with Harrop on that one.

Fionne's tweeted a picture of the two doctors congratulating each other on their 'enlightened' attitudes. Their misogyny is so repulsive.

He's pretty obnoxious in a lot of ways. And falsely accusing her of stuff (which in her school of politics could effect her career) is not ok.

Worse still this is the tweet they were discussing:

Does he have to pay AF's legal costs, too?
Yes, she was awarded costs too.

He’s like Owen Jones, thinks that by virtue of being gay he has enough woke kudos that he can say anything he wants (especially about women) and be always on a good side of history.

lazylinguist · 27/05/2021 14:17

Ugh. What an unpleasant, misogynist creep! He gives me the heebie jeebies. very pleased he lost.

Becca19962014 · 27/05/2021 14:21

Ha! Have been following this since it happened and I am so happy! made my day this has.

Wrongsideofhistorymyarse · 27/05/2021 14:21

I'm delighted for her.

SunnySpring · 27/05/2021 14:23

He's so stuck up! He was a client at big London auction house and he used to let his tiny annoying dogs pee on the antique rugs and make the young female customer service staff clean it up! Always hated him after that.

SunnySpring · 27/05/2021 14:24

She's not my cup of tea but he's a real piece of work!!

I keep hoping for the day Owen Jones makes a mistake like this and gets the same punishment

I was driving hime when I heard the result Grin

LOL indeed!

RedDogsBeg · 27/05/2021 14:27

Do you understand how shattering and damaging it is for a happily married woman to be accused of adultery? Mr Ringland added.

Dr Jessen replied: I'm sure it was very unpleasant for her and I would not wish to cause her any distress.

Like fuck he didn't want to cause her any distress, he was positively gleeful about the damage and distress he was causing.

Very true DrinkFeckArseGirls, plus neither believe they are accountable to anyone and both deem themselves untouchable.

Oenanthe · 27/05/2021 14:28

Oh, this has made my day.

The sun's out at last and a notorious misogynist gets a kick in the legals.
Brilliant.

PronounssheRa · 27/05/2021 14:29

Lol.

PurgatoryOfPotholes · 27/05/2021 14:32

Just so everyone knows, this is the result of child marriage in the global south. Childbirth and pregnancy are the biggest killer of girls aged 14-19.

People worry a lot about cultural relativism and being imperialistic, but they forget some things are material reality. It is a material constant that water is wet, you can't fit a grand piano through a cat flap, and that pregnancy is a physical strain on a female human's body.

There are various factors that make a pregnancy high-risk, and the mother being under 19 is one of them. For example, teenage girls are high risk for pre-eclampsia (which untreated, can lead to kidney damage and kidney disease later). They're also at higher risk of obstructed labour, as a consequence of having pelvises still too small to allow a baby's head and body to exit.

Again, this is a matter of material reality. Children are children- they have not finished growing, whether we acknowledge it or not.

🍾 Well Done Arlene!

LOL 🤭

MrsTerryPratchett · 27/05/2021 14:33

Sorry they were discussing a 12 YEAR OLD GIRL getting married? And they are doctors (are they?) who presumably know about birth injuries, fistulae and so on? Even if you ignore consent, ignore that 12 year olds only get married for the most awful of reasons, surely actual medical damage is important. Isn't it?

Eh, i thought you put it better, tbh, MrsTerry!

MrsTerryPratchett · 27/05/2021 14:39

But you proved it with statistics. Pregnant 12 YO girls FFS. It makes me so angry.
