Doctor Chris Jessen

[emmie]

says that he was mentally unwell when he sent that now infamous tweet about Arlene Foster, and has now set up a Go Fund Me Page, to see if can pay for the costs that she has been awarded 125k. Does anyone else find this wrong, why should anyone pay for his mistakes.

As they say in Yorkshire, Jessen is a 'daft booger'- he could have retracted himself from this situation and now look what shitto-quagmire he is in. Should have stuck to the doctoring.

people like Jessn have a self applied sense of entitlement, as far as they are concerned they are outside the rules. It's always great when karma finally reaches people like that.

Laurence Fox is another one who can't keep his mouth shut, facing libel charges for calling people paedophiles. His excuse?
"Mr Fox defended his comments, claiming the term "paedophiles" was a "meaningless and baseless" insult."

What was the circumstances where dr.J made this accusation ?

[THECORBYLOON]

From Guido Fawkes,

"What Dr Christian’s crowfunder doesn’t tell donors is he is far from cash-strapped. During the court case, he gave evidence that, at the start of 2020, he was living at 77 Walpole House, 126 Westminster Bridge Road SE1 – his home of 10 years; however he also owned 79 Walpole House. A basic online evaluation puts both these flats at a market value of £1.2 million and £797,000 respectively. If Dr Christian is genuinely cash strapped, Guido suggests he flogs one of his premium London properties, rather than fleecing his supporters…"

If he had taken down the erroneous post when asked and apologised then he wouldn't be in this position now.

Apparently part of his defence was that he only tweeted the accusation on the strength of 'extensive online comment' about the rumour she was having an affair. He also said that "if there was truth to it, any hypocrisy that was behind it was noted."

Sorry, he wanted to make sure the hypocrisy was noted.

In part thanks to Musk's "pedo guy" Tweet, I've avoided buying a Tesla until now and probably will forever more.

I am totally fed up with so many GoFundMe appeals - don't bother with insurance when you go on holiday, don't bother saving for unforseen incidents, don't bother with any sort of insurance. Burgled, house fire, accident, don't like your nose/boobs/stomach...just set up a begging page and let strangers pay.

very true Roy. But you have to admit the man has done himself no favours, and if he has money squirreled away then lets hope that its sufficient to cover these costs. No one has to pay towards Go Fund Me for anyone, i certainly wouldn't.

[LadyCG]

Prize idiot with no shame now trying to fleece those far less well off than him. What an aerosol!

[emmie]

nice word, so descriptive.

[barry1010]

Roy, I have not implied anyone is scamming.
