Tone deaf doesn't seem to begin to cover it.

As for prosecution, I have seen few if any commentators expressly suggesting that no action at all should have been taken against Ms Scott. The issue for most is the punishment of strike off notwithstanding the mitigation - not least that she reported it herself and on my understanding there's no reason to think the SRA would have got involved at all if she hadn't.

The SRA could have presented an agreed outcome deal to the SDT, or even dealt with it under their own powers. To now suggest that they had no choice and the resulting strike off was nothing to do with them is disingenuous in the extreme.
