Doctor Is Not A Sexual Predator – Just Iraqi

[naomi24]

Iraqi doctor who pestered two female colleagues with 'clumsy' chat-up lines is cleared of sexual misconduct due to his different cultural background. The disciplinary panel heard he lifted up one woman's top and bombarded another with suggestive messages between 2016 and March 2017.

A dangerously slippery slope? I think so.

[murraymints]

agree... just where do you draw a line if that is acceptable ?

[naomi24]

That seems to depend on who you are.

Its not April the 1st is it??
If that was a white British bloke he would be eating porridge this morning.

[mazie]

How can it be acceptable to lift a womans top to look at her underwear?

[murraymints]

I certainly would not be happy working beside him again !!

[murraymints]

I lean towards nailit's take on things !!

[Old_Geezer]

I don't see that coming from a culture that permits sexual misconduct is any justification for abusing others when one has emigrated to be in a culture that doesn't allow it. It could be taken into cinsideration when sentencing, and there are worse things than inappropriate clothes movement and texting, but getting cleared seems a step too far.

CONSIDERATION

[murraymints]

when in bleepin' Rome !!

[nailit]

Bet there wont be many female patients booking an appointment with him now.

"different cultural background" = treat women like dirt normally so that's ok! All this multicultural PC cobras is getting bl33din silly. I don't give a rats April what your culture is you are in a civilised nation now, you must adopt our culture. The only thing that annoys me more than the foreigners standard "culture" defence is our own liberal hand wringers who let them get away with it.

I for one would be changing Doctors Nailit. I don't think his behaviour will stop. This warning will just shove it behind "closed doors"

[naomi24]

I can't understand the assumption by the disciplinary panel that this man knows no better. He is presumably reasonably intelligent, he lives and works in this country and therefore he cannot possibly be oblivious to the culture. There have been enough media reports on the subject over the past few years. Shameful decision.

[murraymints]

if all the patients refused to be seen by him he'd have to move along !

[douglas9401]

I wonder how the disciplinary panel will react to HIS complaint of being booted in the nuts.

You can't polish a turd.

[naomi24]

He'd probably be awarded compensation, Douglas.

[nailit]

LOL @ Douglas

[woofgang]

well if I was an iraqi bloke living in the UK with normal good manners, I would be as mad as hell about this.
