How trans-activist family doctor, 31, accused Harry Potter novelist of 'not being safe around children' - as he's suspended for using Twitter to launch attacks on women
Adrian Harrop said JK Rowling 'isn't safe to be around children' due to her views He said his comments were 'fairly reasonable' and 'could well be substantiated' After being panned online, he later wiped them and admitted being 'insensitive' The posts last year, reemerged as Harrop was suspended from his job for month A GP who was suspended after branding a woman 'a venomous transphobic bigot' compared JK Rowling to disgraced sexual predator Jimmy Savile. In a series of bizarre rambling tweets, Adrian Harrop, 31, claimed the beloved children's author 'isn't safe to be around children' due to her views on gender. He said his comments were 'fairly reasonable' and 'could well be substantiated' before finally deleting them and backing down for being 'insensitive'. The posts last year, which were part of a series of verbal attacks Harrop launched on women, reemerged as he was suspended from his job for a month. Yesterday he admitted to using his Twitter to pursue a series of social media rivals opposed to his views. He had branded one person 'a venomous transphobic bigot' whose central aim was to 'demonise trans people and exclude them from public life'. A tribunal accepted the GP at Brownlow Surgery in Liverpool - where doctors earn on average £81,955 - had been joking but found the comments were inappropriate. Harrop tweeted his attack on Rowling in May last year, where he made the ludicrous comparison with sick paedophile Savile. He wrote: 'Notice how the transphobic trolls are so outraged when someone suggests JKRowling isn't safe to be around children. 'They're basically baying for a trans woman's blood over this - but then demonstrate complete inconsistency/apathy when Glinner starts calling people ''groomers''.' In reply to a comment, he said: 'Jimmy Savile was the UK's most popular children's entertainer at the height of his career and one of the most famous men in the country. 'Working with how you're framing JKR, I suppose you'd have gladly given him unsupervised contact with your kids - or have I misunderstood you?' He later added: 'I think it was a fairly reasonable statement to make, and could be well substantiated. 'Personally i wouldn't want any vulnerable and impressionable children to be alone and unsupervised with anyone who espouses hateful and discriminatory views towards trans people - it'd be unsafe.' Harrop was met with a tidal wave of opposition for his inflammatory comments and later deleted the post for being 'insensitive'. He added: 'It was not my intention to equate the actions or beliefs of JK Rowling with those of Jimmy Savile in any way, and I apologies unreservedly for any misinterpretation of what I did say. 'I hereby formally retract the statement, which is both poorly worded and insensitive.' Rowling was unavailable for comment. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...XSMTQcdHeixvqs

You’d thing someone with as much education as a doctor would understand that “I’m sorry that you didn’t understand what I was saying” is not an apology.
He also quite blatantly did intend to draw that comparison. |

He's lucky he's a man and he only got a months suspension, if he were a woman he probably would have been struck off for good.......
