Last evening my wife on her return from work, showed me a video of a couple, who out in the park walking, were abused verbally by an older couple. As things got out of hand, the gentleman managed to video his wife defending herself as the older lady grabbed her arm. These things which are happening more often these days, in part are due to the number of illegal immigrants crossings the channel and claiming asylum, some are genuinely fleeing persecution, while others are looking for a better life within the UK. What makes this story a lttle different, is the couple being abused were British Citizens, the lady was a NHS worker and they had lived in the UK for twelve years. They were Filipino's! There is without doubt, cause for concern about the number of people coming to our shores illegally, but there is no place for Racism or Violence. War on poverty is the only war, I would wish to see. just a thought for today....JB
