This is an absolutely shambolic decision by @gmcuk.bsky.social

Suspending a doctor that cares so deeply about protecting public health that he is willing to risk his personal & professional freedoms helps no one and harms everyone.

It’s been 5 days since practicing GP Patrick Hart was jailed for protesting climate inaction.

Meanwhile California has burned down in flames.

Where are all the health leaders & health institutions statements on this?

Today Dr Patrick Hart, practicing GP, was imprisoned for 12 months for engaging in legitimate climate protest.

They think imprisoning climate protestors will make us back down.

But the fire in our hearts and our bellies just grows stronger for justice.
