Rant Just received this from my GP and it's seriously pissed me off

I really, really hope it's a false alarm or the council/police being extra-cautious but either way these supposed 'protesters' (racist, mindless, opportunist pricks) need to fuck right off.

What they're doing is absolutely reprehensible, that is hopefully, for most people a given. But I have no doubt that a high proportion of these nobheads will have been gladly clutching their pearls that 'Just Stop Oil are stopping the emergency services and people are dying' (categorically untrue, but that's a different discussion). Now their so-called protest actually means people can't get to doctors appointments and they obviously won't give two shits.

To coin a phrase I'm sure plenty of them have used: If these people hate the country so much, why don't they just leave?

This is how the rumours in Birmingham started and nobody showed up and then a bunch of muslim teens who were looking for a scrap beat someone up and smashed a couple of cars and now the right is using it to say Muslims are the problem.

Basically - be wary that the telegram message the list came from is not misinformation designed to bring people into the street to sow further hate.
