Ian Millard, an unregistered barrister who had identified himself as a barrister on Twitter, posted seven seriously offensive tweets in November 2014 containing antisemitic, racist and otherwise offensive content (including a swastika image and various racial and religious slurs). The 5-person Disciplinary Tribunal found these breached Core Duty 5 as likely to diminish public trust and confidence in him and in the profession, and disbarred him. Decision final.
