GB News presenter Camilla Tominey has fumed at the latest pro-Palestinian demonstrations in London, after it was revealed that a Jihad demo leader is an NHS doctor.
The leader of an anti-Israel protest has been revealed as an NHS GP, under a different name, in an expose by the Mail.
Known as 'Abdul Wahid', the leader of Hizb ut-Tahrir in the UK has been working as a GP for over 20 years, under his real name Dr Wahid Asif Shaida.
Last weekend, Dr Shaida joined Hizb ut-Tahrir in London as they chanted 'Jihad' outside the Egyptian and Turkish embassies, celebrating the attacks started by terrorist organisation Hamas.

The rally was one of many taking part in the British capital, following the start of the Israel-Hamas war on October 7, where thousands of Israeli and Palestinian civilians have been killed as a result.
The Metropolitan Police have since been criticised for their handling of the rallies, particularly with extremist behaviour.
Met Police Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley said following the demonstrations that there can be "no place for incitement to hatred or violence on Britain’s streets".
Rowley added in defence of the force: "The law that we’ve designed around hate crime and terrorism over recent decades hasn’t taken full account of the ability in extremist groups to steer around those laws and propagating the truly toxic messages through social media. Those lines probably need re-drawing."
Reacting to the story, GB News presenter Andrew Pierce said it was "disturbing".
Camilla agreed, highlighting that it is particularly disturbing for "Jewish doctors working in the UK".
Camilla added: "These people are on one hand working for the NHS and on the other on the streets of London, sharing a platform at times with people who are, I don't know why we're making any bones about it, spewing out Jew hate, that's what it is."
Andrew replied in agreement: "Yes, Jew hate. And let's not call it anti-Semitism, let's call it Jew hate, because if you talk to some young people, they don't know what anti-Semitism means. They don't know the expression.

"It is overt Jew hating. A GP also, by the way in law, has a duty to report any patient he suspects or she suspects is sidling into extremist behaviour."
Andrew then asked: "Do we really think this guy, who is the leader of an organisation that's been banned in at least 12 worldwide organisations for peddling anti Jew hate, is ever going to do that? I'm sorry, I don't think so."
When Camilla asked why we don't know a lot about the Hizb ut-Tahrir organisation, Andrew replied: "I don't know. I've talked to Michael Gove about this many times. He's been very vocal on this, saying it should be banned.
"Others say if you do that, it just causes more tension within the Muslim community. But I think we have to look very carefully at it, especially at the moment."
