My Take on the Events of the Past Few Days

Here's my little take on the events of the past few days......

You see, it's pretty disgusting that these people, and I use that term loosely, are using false information spread online to justify rioting in the names of the three girls who were murdered in Southport last week.

It's disgusting that they're causing carnage and endangering lives up and down the land, fuelled by lies and hatred, some of which is spread by people in the public eye, people in positions of power and influence around the world.

Now I'm assuming that some of these people, and again I used that term quite loosely, are getting injured as they espouse their right-wing rhetoric while looting grocery stores and hurling bricks and mortar at his majesty's police force.

Take the chap in the photo for instance. You've probably seen quite a bit of him over the past few days after he took a shot to the back of his head followed by a shot to the groin. Oh, did I mention that the bricks that caused the damage were launched by his own comrades?

Anyway, I'm assuming that the poor fellow would have been in need of hospital treatment, and given that he'd probably been blaming all of his country's ills on those pesky immigrants he would have probably been in for a surprise when he walked into A&E.

Let's use my own recent hospital experience as an example. You see, most of the respiratory doctors who treated me hailed from the Asian sub-continent or the far east. Out of all of the nurses who cared for me, one of the best hailed from Ghana, while another was born in India.

Also, that time when I needed emergency care during what was described as "heart failure", there was a nurse who held my right hand and comforted me as the doctors went to work. She was Chinese.

And let us not forget that my GP and the cardiologist currently treating me are both Asian as well.

So just remember this when your rioting on false information spread by some newly-elected Members of Parliament and a guy who fled to Cyprus to avoid the Old Bill, if you get hit in the bollocks with a brick and end up in hospital you'll probably be treated by the people you're protesting against, men and women who came to our country to serve their adopted communities.

And stop telling people you're doing this in the name of three innocent young girls.
