Thugs threw rocks at Filipino NHS nurses on their way to work in a hospital as emergency cover during riots.

The workers were reportedly 'terrified' by the attack on their taxis after the vehicles were the target of yobs in Sunderland. They then set light to a police station following a planned protest linked to the Southport knife attack.

A source told the Mirror: "They were in two different taxis and had been called in because of the trouble as emergency cover. They managed to get through but they were obviously fearful about what might happen to them."

    I hate that I have to share a country with these people.

    The UK that I grew up in was multicultural, and proud of it. And now this.

    So much misplaced anger. Yes the economy is fucked, and your life is probably in the shitter, but immigrants aren't the ones to blame for this. Blame the 1%

      Which doesn't suit the 1% hence all the misdirection of people's anger. They learned their lesson during the French Revolution and the Russian Revolution drove home the fact that it can happen again and they've been running scared since.

        Oh yeah, of course. The rich have done a very good job of deflecting blame and convincing people the blame lies elsewhere. Excellent marketing and diversionary tactics.

        Just wish people would see through that.

          That is one if the most annoying aspects - they're being played and either don't known or don't care. Some people want to wreck things and aren't that picky about the motivation.

            You know, the funny thing is, that these Global South/Third World migrants, most of them have migrated mainly because the Global North's countries decided to dominate these migrants' countries through unequal exchange/resource and labor exploitation, such as the Philippines, which is the reason they came here in the first place; to escape poverty!

      As soon as these twats are identified then put them on NHS black list. And strip of all/any benefits.

      And deport them to Australia.

    These removed are the ones that should be put on some disgusting prison barge before being forced onto an aeroplane and sent off to Africa not the poor people that risk their lives to try and come here to seek asylum.

    See how long they last last over there with their pathetic way of thinking. We lost our membership in the EU because of ignorant fucking idiots like this, now we have to put up with this kind of bullshit. This country is a fucking joke, these ignorant white English removed need to fuck off.

    Being English is such a fucking embarrassment.

        True. It was more a reference to them wanting asylum seekers shipped off to Rwanda (I think it was), but in reality I don't wish these people upon anyone.

    Racist right wingers in the US: "We're not racist! You people call all Republicans (conservatives) racist! Also, Kamala is a DEI fake black person."

    Most of the worlds conservatives: "FUCK YOU PEOPLE THAT ARE DIFFERENT FROM ME!"

    It's almost like most "conservatives" are racist assholes no matter where they're from...
