Just to be clear, politicians have engineered a situation whereby the NHS is in crisis and people are so scared and angry that many no longer feel empathy for the doctors tasked with holding the service together.
Doctors are not the problem. Politicians are the problem. 💙🚨

Immigration is people migrating.
Asylum seekers are people trying to stay safe.
Trying to stay safe can’t be wrong.
