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.”

    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!

        Don’t they just shed their human suits every now and again?

        Joking aside, It’s never about the individuals, it’s the system of greed and vested interests. Once the robber barons get their hooks in they can be difficult to shake off this side of the guillotine or firing squad.
