Psychological Society" cont.
Although she has a disclaimer on her Twitter profile, she also mentions her membership with you. In my view if she is using membership to bolster her professional standing, she cannot break the membership rules. cont.
Further. She clearly breaches your Professional Standards for members working with media. https://www.bps.org.uk/about-us/communications/professional-standards in particular -

Ms Kenny has lately been explicitly denying that 'lockdown works' - presumably that reducing population contact does not reduce transmission. This is patently & verifiably false.

In a time of pandemic when is it extraordinarily important that facts & not falsehoods are spread, In my (& others) view Ms Kenny is not only putting peoples health at risk but also putting Psychologists professionalism & standing in doubt. cont
I urge you look into reducing further possible damage to the reputation of psychologists & your organisation, and the impact that having TV platform with associated social media platform could have on the health of the nation.

I notice that none of the people attacking me seem to have engaged with anything in my actual tweet thread. Funny that isn't it Lady Semtex @Fox_Claire ? Looks like a pile on by you calling ME a mysoginist and bully for wanting to protect people.
