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!

bhg - // andy //He would have retained his dignity by simply carrying on walking.//
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. //
If that is the case, I would have walked away and returned to the queue when the idiot with the inflated sense of self-importance had wandered off to try and produce his particularly valueless reportage somewhere else.

I feel a little for Prof. Whitty. He obviously saw the job as CMO as a nice little number running up to his retirement. No more messing about in Africa up to his neck in tropical diseases. Nice desk job, rubber stamping a few reports, advising politicians how to deal with anti-smoking campaigns, anti-obesity kicks, sugar taxes, that sort of thing. Six or seven years to add to his Civil Service Pension then off into the sunset.
Disaster! Three months into the job and Covid strikes. Suddenly he's thrust daily into the limelight; he's rolled out every few days to paste incomprehensible graphs up on the wall; is tasked, along with Sir Patrick Vallance and a succession of supporting artists, to spell doom, gloom and despondency to a (hopefully) petrified nation. Not what he'd imagined at all.
Absolutely no reason to accost him in the street. What I don't understand is what he was doing out and about in Westminster in his shirtsleeves in this weather. I hope he had a "reasonable excuse". I was also a bit disturbed about the way he removed his face mask from his pocket and put it on. Didn't follow the guidance (which I assume he was aware of) at all.

Trevor - // Well oddly enough there are lot of people - including Right Said Fred and the Laurence Fox 'take Whitty down mob' - who think he pretty much deserves this...... and more //
There might well be - there are sections of the community who mourn the passing of bear baiting in the street - but that doesn't mean that their views have a scintilla of merit, or deserve a nanosecond of consideration.
And I am curious - 'take Whitty down ...' from what exactly?

//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??//

As I understand it he continued his clinical work in UK hospitals as well as his CMO job.
