The son of a struck-off nurse who compared NHS medics to Nazis at an anti-vaxxer rally today called on her to be prosecuted for her 'very dangerous' comments.
Sebastian Shemirani, 21, is estranged from his conspiracy theorist mother Kate, 54, who says his criticism of her shows he is now part of a 'global plot' orchestrated by the CIA she believes will wipe out half the UK's population in the next five years.
Asked what should happen to her, Sebastian said: 'Be prosecuted under existing laws, or if there aren't existing laws in place that say that what she is doing is illegal then we should be having a national conversation about what laws we should be bringing in and drafting up legislation for that.
'Because it's only a matter of time before... somebody acts on the bad advice that she's giving the country.'
He said he believes his mother cannot be helped. 'My mum is definitely beyond help,' Sebastian told the programme. 'The problem is that she's so arrogant in her world view and really, truly believes that she is a conduit for the truth on a spiritual level, not just a scientific level.'
He added: 'It's impossible to talk to somebody when they've got that level of God complex.'
Shemirani is being investigated by police amid claims she may have incited violence and broken hate crime laws.

Thousands of people gathered in Trafalgar Square on Saturday to protest against the vaccination programme and the Government's approach to the pandemic where shamed nurse Kate Shemirani was the star speaker. Her comments are now subject to a police investigation
Mrs Shemirani who qualified as a nurse 35 years ago, is being investigated by police saying medics were like Nazi doctors complicit in genocide and should face 'Nuremberg trials', said vaccination teams should be renamed 'death squads' and referred to the NHS as the 'new Auschwitz' during a rally with Piers Corbyn on Saturday.
Boris Johnson today condemned Shemirani comments, having previously called anti-vaxxers 'nuts', with his official spokesman saying: 'Doctors and nurses have done a heroic job throughout this pandemic and continue to do so. Any violence, threats or intimidation… is completely unacceptable', adding that if she has committed any crimes that is a 'matter for the police'.
She was also removed from social media and struck off by the Nursing and Midwifery Council last month for spreading misinformation, claiming that symptoms of Covid-19 were caused by 5G and that vaccines were 'rushed through' because 'they want to kill you'.
Shemirani said nursing colleagues who reported her to the watchdog were overweight and jealous of her, but a panel banned her from her job for public protection.
Sebastian, a banking intern with JP Morgan who graduated from the London School of Economics after attending Eton, today launched an extraordinary evisceration of his mother's bizarre conspiracy theories, which he says she tried to impose on her own children from a young age.
Mr Shemirani is also concerned she has become a far-right poster girl despite having mixed-race children her supporters wouldn't want to 'exist', because his father is Iranian. He said: 'People are taking her as a source of truth and a saint and I wish I could tell them all that my mum is not the person you think she is. She's someone with a massive amount of self-interest and loves being the centre of attention'.
Responding to his claims she told the BBC: 'From what I can see it would appear a 'conspiracy theorist' is actually now anyone who believes something other than what your controllers want them to believe. I find this deeply disturbing'.

The mother-of-four lives in East Sussex having separated from her husband Faramarz Shemirani in 2014, the father of her four children, and her remarks were branded 'reprehensible' and said they 'could put nursing staff at risk', according to the Royal College of Nursing.

Mother-of-four Kate Shemirani, a former nurse of 35 years, is adamant coronavirus is a hoax and claimed its symptoms are linked to the roll-out of 5G.
She has argued the vaccine is a political tool to gain access to and change people's DNA, has likened lockdown to the Holocaust and insisted dancing NHS nurses will 'stand trial for genocide'.
She wrote: 'Murder. Genocide. The NHS is the new Auschwitz.'
She is a headliner at anti-lockdown rallies, having joined conspiracy theorists David Icke and Piers Corbyn at a protest in August.
She directed yobs to confront riot police whom she branded 'dirty dogs' and mocked for wearing face masks at a rally in September.
Her son Sebastian, 21, said he is concerned about the impact his mother's claims could have on public health and branded her 'dangerous' and an 'attention-seeker'.
Miss Shemirani has been suspended for 18 months to avoid the risk of harm to the public.
The Nursing and Midwifery Council is investigating her statements linking coronavirus vaccines to 5G mobile phone technology.
Miss Shemirani said nurses who made accusations against her did so because they were overweight and jealous. She added: 'We all know what women can be like.'
She has reportedly resigned as a registered nurse.

When asked if their relationship could recover he said: 'I think she's too far gone to be helped. I'm never going to have a relationship with my mum again. And that's why it's important that if someone is coming to you and says: 'I'm starting to believe all this stuff'. Nip it in the bud. Because it takes a couple of years to completely lose somebody.
'When this is over and everything she says is forgotten and the global genocide hasn't happened people will forget about it. But the disaster that goes on in my family and the relationships she's losing now that stuff stays forever'.
