Caroline, I am honestly almost in tears looking at your Twitter feed tonight. Sad

Her kids have been doxxed by the good doctor.

She is continuing to receive harassment from TRAs. Someone has just sent a pizza to her house.

We all need to get behind her. They think she's a weaker target because of her Catholic views, I'm sure. Let's get on Twitter and report everyone that is sending her abuse.

Right. Was at a loose end last night, so I thought I'd check out exactly what Harrop has been doing on his Twitter account.
Between 20 March and 1st April I counted over 40 tweets and re tweets by him about Caroline. This is not probably conclusive because I only counted the ones where she is directly named or it is blindingly obvious who he is referring to - eg when she is called 'Our lady of hypocrites'.
It doesn't include any deleted tweets such as the one where he retweeted someone calling her a cunt.
It does include one where he says 'I'm gay for @CF_Farrow Well...there's a shocker' (seems to be part of some kind of game).
That's over 40 posts about one person. Over 40 in a few days.
Harrop - you need help.
Caroline - I have screenshots in case they disappear.

That manchild needs a hobby. Or a proper job.

LizzieSiddal · 03/04/2019 08:40

MsMc I’m sure the GMC would be interested in your research.

colehawlins · 03/04/2019 08:42

Good work @MsMcWoodle

LordProfFekkoThePenguinPhD · 03/04/2019 08:42

I’m not so sure they would bother. I heard something on the radio this morning - I think it was about complaints of sexism made to them about doctors trying to guess female colleagues bra sizes etc. Yet veiled physical threats, insults and social media attacks on individuals are not stomped on?

Datun · 03/04/2019 08:54

This entire business shows how rife misogyny still is. How nasty little creeps, who can't cut it in real life, find each other online and embolden each other to stick it to women.

Millions of women all talking to, and supporting, one another, is unprecedented. It must be infuriating. And something many men didn't expect. It's probably deeply worrying.

"What do they all talk about?" is now something they can all see for themselves.

And we're right behind you Caroline.

JessicaWakefieldSVH · 03/04/2019 08:55

MsMcWoodle wow that is a lot, and that is surely and obviously harassment. The guy is obsessed. Good work.

SophoclesTheFox · 03/04/2019 09:03

40 posts in that timescale is very worrying.

The way this is playing out so powerfully reminds me of my awful ex who simply could not tolerate me having and expressing my opinions about his behaviour. The attempts to control the narrative, the legal threats, the discrediting, the distortions. I’m having inadequate wanker flashbacks.

Like a pp said, this is why men hate it when women get together and swap notes. Pattern recognition is hateful and should t be allowed.

Can you imagine what Steph is threatening MNHQ with behind the scenes? Hope the gin supplies are up to it (am sure they are)

Hope today is a better one for you, Caroline Flowers

LizzieSiddal · 03/04/2019 09:06

Lord I heard that too. Several female Drs have resigned front eh GMC due to them being so fed up of the inherent sexism and complaints not being listened to.

The head of GMC said he is keen to stamp out sexism.

I think now is an excellent time to complain about this overtly sexist, dangerous misogynist.

LizzieSiddal · 03/04/2019 09:07

Excuse above garbled post. I hope you get the gist.

ErrolTheDragon · 03/04/2019 09:27

Here's a Times article about the doctors. It's their union, the BMA that they're resigning from.

GPs quit union amid anger at 70s-style sexism

SimplyMonstrous · 03/04/2019 09:38

Hi Caroline - had seen your posts on twitter and didn't comment as I couldn't quite follow what was going on. Now I've read the thread, I just wanted to say how appalled I am at this harassment.

Abusive men too often target our children, because they know we will always stand to defend our children, and also that it will always frighten us. Feels like these bullies have got too big for their boots though with their blatant public threats. As they aren't women, they probably forget that other mothers will rally round when children are threatened.

I hope your meeting went well last night. As others, happy to contribute to a legal fighting fund.

SomeEnchantedEaring · 03/04/2019 10:09

Another mostly lurker / occasional poster who wants Caro to know she has my support. Standing up to bullies is not easy so thank you for all that you are doing to protect the rights of women and children. I will be happy to contribute to a crowdfunder for legal costs if necessary. Please look after yourself and know that many, many women have your back.

JessicaWakefieldSVH · 03/04/2019 10:24

I have screenshots in case they disappear.

Perhaps put them on the Harrop thread? Although that might disappear like the Madigan one, so always keep them as well.

AncientLights · 03/04/2019 10:28

As it's a support thread, I'm just adding myself to the list of Caro's supporters, which includes £support from me as needed, too.

Personally, I'm not reading the 'derail' posts. No need.

MsMcWoodle · 03/04/2019 10:34

It's 25 screen shots! The posts are still on Harrop's twitter, as far as I know, so anyone can take a look.
I will post them if it is necessary though.

Carowiththegoodhair · 03/04/2019 10:36

Dr Harrop is still at it.

I got a brief Twitter ban because a US transwoman, sent me a bunch of emails threatening to put up billboards about me, ads in local papers, has made cartoons and parody accounts of me, set up fake FB profile and has sent me screenshots of my father's Facebook and threatened to target him and my children on their website.

I published the fake email address that the account was operating under. Dr Harrop appears to be still monitoring my account and stirring up hatred about me.

It's extremely alarming.

MrsSnippyPants · 03/04/2019 10:41

Just wanted to add my support Caro. I cannot imagine how difficult this must be on so many fronts. We are all behind you, and, if necessary, I am sure would stand beside you physically should it all come to court.

Carowiththegoodhair · 03/04/2019 10:43

So it might be worth asking Dr Harrop, why he is STILL continuing to stalk my account? I have blocked him and he made a specific undertaking to the GMC NOT to mention or interact with people who have blocked him.

And secondly, point out that when people threaten my 78 year old father, they are fair game!! Don't send me abusive emails threatening my dad and then cry that your private information is being released.

PencilsInSpace · 03/04/2019 10:48

Flowers Caro, I'm pleased to see from your latest post that you're getting good advice.

Religion is one of the protected characteristics that come under the hate crime legislation. Useful advice from the Met police here:

Remember, you don’t have to be the victim of hate crime to report it. You can report anything you’ve seen happening to someone else, or report it on their behalf if they don’t want to.

PonyoPonyo · 03/04/2019 10:54

Another mostly lurker here adding my voice to the support for Caro. I don't post much but I read it all voraciously and do what I can elsewhere, in my small way.

Caroline, that Florence Webster contacted me on FB following the Mail on Sunday article on my arrest. They offered support and legal advice, they then wanted me to friend them a month later, which I didn't.

Very curious

Carowiththegoodhair · 03/04/2019 11:12

Sorry I am having to cull my FB because this person spamming me with emails about how I need to stick to talking about womanly things on social media, like baking and cats, appears to be able to access it.

What recourse do you have when someone in the US starts stalking you, sending you creepy emails and threatening to make cartoons of your dad, your children and put them on T-shirts and billboards?

Then Harrop starts lying about the fact that you have been doxed and stalked and tries to claim that you are the abuser.

This is a flipping nightmare!
