You put a but in there which means it's not a 100% agree....
No. It's a "I 100% agree it's unacceptable"

And it's ALSO being overblown because it's a couple of drunks out for a selfie, not a bunch of anti-vaxxers.

It's not an either-or situation.

Unfortunately, being a fat mouthed cunt is not an offence. But assault is, and grabbing a fella is basically assault. It's not going to be a prison sentence, but they should expect a caution.

Whitty doesn't want to take it any further.

Relevant: Viz re-posted one of its Top Tips today which read:

"Save time wondering why Lee Hurst is trending by simply assuming it is because he is being a massive cunt."

Seems to have vanished though :/

I reported him for something the other day, can't remember what though. Got a notification saying it had broken their rules though, which is rare for someone with a decent amount of followers, so must've been bad.

Banned from twitter though?

I'm glad I'm not a twatterer. It seems just being a bit dumb gets you kicked off. The bar for kicking is hardly sharing bomb-making material - it just seems to be "bit of a twat".

He is a massive prick though, shit at comedy so is now chasing some nutters, he might join a GB news political panel show or something off of this.

I saw a tweet of his, something like "oh the bed wetters never go outside". The irony is incredible. His whole thing is sitting on twitter all day getting upset about things.

Man charged with assault on Chris Whitty

Is this a bit over the top? It was a bit unpleasant but just a couple of drunken idiots who wanted a picture. They weren't being abusive or anything. I think his reaction is what makes it look so bad, but you can obviously understand why he is on edge. The bloke has even lost his job over it.

Not sure if it's a bit over the top. Perhaps it's to send a message as Chris Whitty seems to be getting harassed a lot lately.

So he has lost his job and got a criminal record, not to mention paraded through the press.

Over being a dickhead. Seems very harsh.

Probably if they filmed themselves doing it, but the law has always used high profile cases to send a message.

You aren’t a public figure who has had threats sent at them. but its true it should be even across the board. The losing his job is because of them recording it and putting it online and not because the legal consequences.

if you made a fuss about something and got the media interested i am sure an employer would see that very seriously even if they didnt get prosecuted.

i would argue that harassment of people like this to a public figure who, to be fair, hasnt asked for his publicity, for doing his scientific and important job should be made an example of to stop others attempting the same.

@Scouse told you they wouldn’t need Chris to press charges. But you never know he may have been persuaded to change his mind after his initial feelings.

You don't necessarily have to press charges for them to charge someone, the CPS can decide, but really they should take the victim's wishes into consideration. I think Whitty has more important things to deal with than this shit.

It always helps if you are stupid enough to film yourself doing it.
