Far-right thugs throw rocks at Filipino NHS nurses on way to work (www.dailyrecord.co.uk)

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."

These cunts 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 cunts need to fuck off.

Being English is such a fucking embarrassment.

No one in Africa wants them, you may fly the plane past Pine Gap, though, Australia being your former penal colony and all.

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.
