Last July, just before my industrial tribunal, I was interviewed by ITV. I mean literally, just as I was on my way into the court. I thought that I was going to be asked a couple of question on a news item. I was hardly able to hear anything and I was unable to see anything but a camera infront of me. I had no idea who it was that was ranting in the earpiece, but I felt that they were being exceedlingly rude. I was entirely unaware of the presence of transgender activist India Willoughby being in the studio, and could hear nothing of the blasphemous things that were being said. Willoughby said outrageous things which I would have responded strongly to, had I have actually been aware.

Piers Morgan styled me as a Christian looking for people to stone to death. This is nonsense! As a doctor I save lives everyday. Morgan called for me to be given stones to stone myself to death. I am deeply grieved about this, not because of any personal offence taken, but because the following week a woman was stoned to death by Muslims simply for being a Christian. I cannot escape the feeling that Morgan was justifying genocide, because it makes no difference whether I or someone else stones me to death, he has established as a principle that Christians should be stoned to death, in a world where they are being stoned to death.

I had agreed to be interviewed as a medical professional, and so I would advise that ITV treat us doctors with greater respect in the future. Morgan may make sport of me for the sake of selling breakfast cereal and other nik naks, but my patients, who are often seriously ill, need to have absolute confidence in me. Should they fear me on account of Morgan's comments? Should they see me as a laughing stock? Morgan should not be damaging the professinal integrity of doctors for the sake of viewing figures, and ITV ought not to bring people on the show to call for their deaths. Morgan's actions may make for great entertainment, but they are dangerous for my patients, and I think that I can say that I am a thoroughly professional doctor. Where is the professionalism in this kind of journalism?

I am grateful to the Lord Jesus Christ for the opportunity to speak of His love and salvation on this occasion.

I regard Piers Morgan as an outrageous waste of hot air (global warming), but I earnestly pray that he would yet find the Lord Jesus Christ as he is presented in the Bible, and the truth that we are saved by faith alone in Him, which is not what he would have learned from growing up as a Roman Catholic.
