A complaint was made about the claimant’s tweets. An investigation was conducted by a law firm. The investigation concluded that the first and third tweet were detrimental to the honour and interests of the medical profession or the defendant, and/or were likely to bring the profession into disrepute. The matter was referred to a Resolution Panel, who agreed. It imposed a permanent ban on the claimant holding office for the defendant “to reflect the harm done to the image and reputation of the BMA and profession at large.” The panel recommended that the claimant should undergo training in relation to antisemitism and in relation to the fact that behaviour which is not intended to cause offence can nonetheless have that effect. An appeal was dismissed. The appeal panel said they “considered the tweets very serious and reprehensible.”
