Online abuse and trolling is bad enough but this is horrible. You really need thick skin when you've been thrust into the spotlight over the last 12 months.

What a nasty piece of work!

[Hopkirk]

I wonder what his family are saying to him.

[Ken4155]

Every village has it's own, Tigger.

[wolf63]

He has always looked uncomfortable in front of the camera and I feel for him.

The trolls are the lowest of the low.

[teacake44]

I'm sure he's got used to stepping over Sh*** .

[eve1974]

He’s looked exhausted lately! I pity anyone in the spotlight during covid

[david small]

Look Mom I’m on telly.....

[jennyjoan]

I saw that ignoramus of a lad - but hadn't followed the news - can I ask why was Chris Whitty doing?

[ToraToraTora]

Damn Savage should be thrashed to within an inch of his worthless scum life.

[Mamyalynne]

Young chap has made a very public buffoon of himself.

[grumpy01]

Chris Whitty has had enough sadness in his life without this sort of thing.

[ToraToraTora]

don't why the moron is calling him a liar anyway, all he does is report figures.

[andy-hughes]

I'm unsure why the professor stood still for more than two seconds, making himself the backdrop to the idiotic theatre of the modern world - the phone video.

He would have retained his dignity by simply carrying on walking.

Chris Whitty gets on my wick with his miserable face and constant doom and gloom. I now avoid him like the plague. Maybe this youth felt the same way??

[ToraToraTora]

nice support for low live slime marge, well done.

I doubt if the witless loon has sufficient intelligence to produce a thought one way or the other - but the simple fact ism, avoiding the professor by changing TV channels or turning over a page in the paper is one thing - accosting him and being rude to him in the street is entirely another.

[Mamyalynne]

I'd suggest that what that youth knows about Covid, the facts and figures as reported by scientists like Chris Whitty wouldn't even cover a pin head.

[jennyjoan]

ILM - really no cause for such rudeness - Chris Whitty wasn't doing anything to him. As I say these mobile phones and social media are a curse.

He joined a queue for something and was standing well back from the person in front of him. I think the fact he was in his shirt-sleeves implied he'd just popped out for something.

[Ken4155]

Just hope here were a couple of 'big lads' close by who then had a 'quiet word' with the village idiot.

[ToraToraTora]

it was probably gully!
