Doctor used picture with patient's ‘exposed brain' on dating site
Dr Sayed Talibi, from Tamworth, Staffordshire, described himself as a '28-year-old brain surgeon' and uploaded the image which showed the exposed brain of a patient without their consent.
It was among a string of complaints upheld by a medical tribunal against him, including making racist statements towards others, assaulting a woman and behaving 'in a threatening, abusive and sexually motivated manner towards her'.
He was also pictured with banned weapons, including a large number of knives and an axe.
The Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service (MPTS) found his fitness to practise was impaired due to his misconduct.
A decision on what sanctions to impose on Dr Talibi will be decided over the summer.
'I hate white people'
The ruling said the doctor carried out an attack on a woman, identified only as Ms A, when she had not consented. He also subjected her to violence and threatened to waterboard her, it was heard.
Detailing its findings, the Service said Dr Talibi had used racist language to describe others. It was determined and proven he said 'I do not like Afghan culture, I hate Afghan culture,' as well as 'I hate kuffar and white people' and 'I hate this country, I hate Afghan people equally.'
He was also banned from Asda after failing to scan his shopping at a supermarket and tried to offer money to a security guard to halt a probe.
The panel found he lied about an energy bill he blamed on a tenant and illegally made an audio recording of a court hearing.
In a ruling, the service's panel, sitting in Manchester, told him: 'Your actions and the course of conduct risked bringing the profession into disrepute.
'And that by reason of the matters set out above, your fitness to practise is impaired because of your misconduct.'

Firefighters called to over 40 obese people a week after it was revealed ambulance service had to spend £30million on specialist transport
More than 40 obese people are rescued by the fire service each week, according to startling new figures. The shocking reality of the UK's obesity crisis has been laid bare by Home Office data on the number of firefighter callouts for helping members of the public who are 'overweight or plus size'. It showed that between April 2024 and March 2025 there were a total of 2,274 'bariatric assist' incidents. These can include scenarios where rescue teams have had to winch patients too fat to move out of their flats. Sometimes walls, windows and banisters must be removed to get them out. This year's figure is five times higher than a decade ago, reflecting how the nation's waistline has bulged massively. Between 2012 and 2013, there were a measly 429 callouts for bariatric assists. A decade later this figure reached a record high of 2,342 between 2022 and 2023. Obesity campaigners have previously warned this shocking rise increase the risk that someone will die in a fire because a crew is tied up on someone else's rescue. It comes just a week after a survey found ambulance services have been hit with bills totalling £27.5million to transport obese patients in the last five years. Health leaders have urged the government to do more to tackle the nation's obesity crisis, while campaigners warned the NHS 'cannot cope' with the burden placed on it by individuals with 'grossly unhealthy lifestyles'. Ambulance teams typically call out fire crews if patients in need of help are trapped by their bulk. These will typically be in emergency or health-related situations. Earlier this month it was revealed that health bosses have been forced to splash out on specialist ambulances and lifting equipment or pay private providers to carry people who are too large for standard vehicles. North West Ambulance Service has paid almost £15million in the past five years for ambulances to carry the overweight, Freedom of Information responses show. It hopes to cut its annual payment of £2.715million to private operators by buying eight new vehicles this year for £416,976. And London Ambulance Service is investing £1million for its own fleet, having paid contractors £1.6million a year for five years. South Central Ambulance Service - which covers Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and most of Hampshire - said it had spent £2.3million over the past five and a half years. East of England Ambulance Trust has got through more than £1.25million in two years. John O'Connell, chief executive of the TaxPayers' Alliance, said last week: 'Taxpayers will be horrified to see the burden placed on NHS budgets by some irresponsible patients. 'The health service simply cannot cope with the weight placed on it by those individuals with grossly unhealthy lifestyles. 'Ministers need to start seriously considering how to ensure that patients cough up when their own choices end up impacting taxpayers.' Rory Deighton, acute director at the NHS Confederation, which represents healthcare organisations, said: 'These examples of NHS spending on bariatric ambulances highlights the reality of the increasing costs of an ageing and increasingly unfit population. 'NHS leaders will be looking to the government to tackle some of the root causes of obesity as part of its wider mission to improve the health of the nation. Being bold and legislating on contentious issues like food policy will help deliver the Secretary of State's ambition to spend less on treatment by focusing more on prevention.' Recent Government research shows nearly two-thirds of UK adults are overweight or obese. Being overweight increases the risk of heart disease, cancer, type 2 diabetes and muscular-skeletal issues. Daniel Elkeles, chief executive of NHS Providers, which represents NHS trusts, said: 'The NHS is there for everyone who needs it. Providing care for the most obese patients require specialist skills, equipment and ambulances

Up to 3,700 Afghans, troops and civil servants may be victims of new data breach
Some 3,700 Afghans, British troops and civil servants may have fallen victim to a new data breach, after an incident involving a company linked to the Ministry of Defence. Stansted-based Inflite The Jet Centre Ltd suffered a data security incident which led to 'unauthorised access to a limited number of company emails', according to the firm. The company provides ground handling for flights operated under a contract involving the MoD and the Cabinet Office. About 3,700 individuals are thought to be potentially affected by the incident, including Afghans who were brought the UK. It was revealed in July that some Afghans who fought alongside British forces had their data leaked when defence official released the details of 18,714 individuals 'in error' in February 2022. Troops travelling to routine military exercises and journalists accompanying ministers on official engagements are also among the potential victims. 'We were recently notified that a third party sub-contractor to a supplier experienced a cyber security incident involving unauthorised access to a small number of its emails that contained basic personal information,' a Government spokesperson said. 'We take data security extremely seriously and are going above and beyond our legal duties in informing all potentially affected individuals. The incident has not posed any threat to individuals' safety, nor compromised any Government systems.' A statement published on Inflite The Jet Centre's website said: 'We believe the scope of the incident was limited to email accounts only, however, as a precautionary measure, we have contacted our key stakeholders whose data may have been affected during the period of January to March 2024.' The data is not thought to have been shared publicly or released on the dark web. In one email, seen by the PA news agency, the Cabinet Office told a passenger that there was 'a risk' their visa details and information about their job had been leaked. Their passport details may also have been compromised. The notification read: 'HM Passport Office advises that you do not need to cancel or replace your passport, as security measures are in place to prevent misuse without the physical document.' The victim may be affected by the leak 'because certain information is required by ground-handling companies to enable flights to depart and to arrive'. In a separate notification reported in The Independent and The Times, the Government's Afghan resettlement team said that Afghan Relocations and Assistance Policy (Arap) reference numbers may also have been leaked.

Police will not endorse activities of volunteer ‘force' launching patrols
Safeguard Force, whose volunteers will wear branded bibs, said it aims to create 'safer, more supportive communities by providing visible, compassionate and non-confrontational patrols' which were set to start on August 11. The move follows two high-profile murder cases in the town as well as the local police force having to introduce dispersal powers on the seafront after a disturbance involving a 'large group of people' on June 30 which left a teenage girl and two officers injured. Dorset Police said a multi-agency meeting was held with Safeguard Force on Friday and 'a review of their vetting processes has highlighted areas of significant concern'. Assistant Chief Constable Mark Callaghan, of Dorset Police, said: 'Following a multi-agency meeting on Friday 15 August 2025, which involved Dorset Police, other emergency services, the local authority and representatives of Safeguard Force, we will not be endorsing their activities. 'We have engaged with the group extensively and a review of their vetting processes has highlighted areas of significant concern. The organisers have been unable to provide reassurance that this group has sufficient safeguards in place to ensure volunteers are adequately vetted, trained, and equipped to undertake high-visibility patrols in the community. 'Safeguard Force's policies provided to police contain insufficient details in relation to the use of body-worn cameras, publishing of photographs of members of the public, administration and recording of any force used or first aid provided and limited evidence of any training provided. 'We welcome the responsible use of volunteers, who wish to carry out public service and there are many ways in which this can be facilitated in a safe way, including becoming a Special Constable, joining the street pastor programme, or via established Watch schemes. 'All these initiatives have appropriate policies and processes in place, particularly around the vetting of individuals and safeguarding of vulnerable people. 'Dorset Police continues to carry out high-visibility patrols, with 289 foot patrols taking place in the past seven days throughout Bournemouth town centre, gardens and seafront. 'This resulted in arrests being made and dispersal notices being issued, stop searches for drugs or weapons, anti-social behaviour incidents attended, intelligence gathered and almost 1,200 conversations with members of the public and 131 businesses and local premises visited. 'We would encourage members of the public to speak to our officers and report incidents and crimes directly to us so we're able to effectively respond and investigate.' In March, Nasen Saadi was jailed for life to serve a minimum of 39 years at Winchester Crown Court for the murder of Amie Gray and attempted murder of Leanne Miles on Bournemouth beach on May 24 2024. And in January 2023, Afghan asylum seeker Lawangeen Abdulrahimzai was jailed for life to serve a minimum of 29 years at Salisbury Crown Court for the murder of 21-year-old Thomas Roberts outside a Subway takeaway shop in Bournemouth in March 2022.
