This is not on.

Okay. I’ve watched about half of this but I can’t watch any more. I’ll try and watch the rest when I’ve calmed down – I reached the point where the fakenewsreader said, ‘let’s assume that Britain tightens up the standards, says “hey, look, we’ve got a lot of questionable Muslim doctors in our ranks here, we’re gonna at least slow down on the Visas allowing them in here”‘ and had to press ‘pause’ before I felt the urge to throw up in horror. I know that this is just evidence which screams that the anti-NHS crazies have no more arguments and have completely lost the plot, but the fact that this is a mainstream news channel in the US which people actually pay attention to and not some culty thing on the level of the Westboro Baptist Church makes me very, very angry and worried. This is just getting out of hand.
ONE.
‘let’s assume that Britain tightens up the standards, says “hey, look, we’ve got a lot of questionable Muslim doctors in our ranks here, we’re gonna at least slow down on the Visas allowing them in here”‘
One of the main attackers was British. Let me explain something. When you’re British, you don’t need a Visa to live in Britain. Is that clear?
TWO.
In this country we do not bar people entry or prevent them from practicing medicine on religious grounds.
THREE.
Flashing up a picture of Dr. Mohammed Asha, a man found not guilty of any part in the attacks, is entirely pointless and merely serves to undermine your credibility even further.
FOUR.
Fox News, a channel which broadcasts lies as ‘news’, telling anyone to ‘tighten up their standards’ is one of the most laughable and disgusting things I’ve heard since ‘the NHS is a terrorist recruitment tool’.
The fact that these degenerates, who I doubt have even set foot in Scotland (and I’m not sure that they’ve even been to the UK, whose healthcare they dare to lie about), are using Glasgow in an attempt to back up their wacko theory which they appear to be reporting as fact is hugely insulting. Well, Mr Cavuto and Mr Bowyers, this is an invitation. Come to Glasgow and we may well give you a demonstration of exactly why you should be grateful for a national health service.
Oh, and Daniel Hannan? Don’t come back.

As well as Dr Mohammed Asha, they show a picture of Dr Mohammed Haneef (the only other non-blacked out face), who briefly worked in the UK but more often in Australia. He too was found innocent, all charges dropped (but they still cancelled his work visa anyway). The whole process was pretty scandalous, but yeah, the point is neither face is a terrorist. They’d be as well posting two faces of passers by picked completely at random, basically.
