** Female UK paramedic suspended for making derogatory comments about Muslims

UNITED KINGDOM NEWS

** A female London Ambulance Service paramedic has been suspended for nine months after apparently making disparaging remarks about Muslims. That is the word from The Mirror (Brendan McFadden/July 8) which said Deena Best allegedly told colleagues she didn’t like Muslims, at the same time as likening a co-worker’s beard and appearance to that of Osama bin Laden. The comments pertain to a May 2017 conversation about fasting for Ramadan in which one of those in the discussion was Muslim. The Health and Care Professions Tribunal Service called the remarks derogatory and based on stereotypes. Best countered by saying her comments were meant to be lighthearted.
