Immigrants

[nailedit]

Emotive subject...
Just got off the bus after a one hour ride from Crewe to Stoke
(Not the most pleasent experience on First Bus)

Was greeted with a broken English speaker (and his friend) gesturing for me to take his phone.
2 guys in their early 20's

They were trying to direct an ambulance to a collapsed woman (apparently an angina attack)
But werent familiar to local street names.

Between conversation and ambulance turning up was about 15 mins.
Meanwhile i discovered two things.
They were
1)Afghani's
2)They were concerned about a woman's well being.
(A white, non muslim, woman at that)
But they were.

Everything in the media would have you believe that is an oxymoron?

[nailedit]

Wow...
Nearly 2 hours later and not a single response about 2 young
Afghans concern about a white, non-muslim womans health?

Trying their best against a language barrier to locate an ambulance to assist a white, non muslim woman,

[anneasquith]

They are fellow humans who were helping a woman . ?

[jno]

perhaps they left their homeland because they didn't agree with the various Taliban repressions. Britain should be pleased to have them.

Instead...

Surely there was other people about who could speak English and ring for an ambulance?

[jno]

how many do you want? Nailedit did the job.

[royfromaus]

A white, non muslim, woman at that

You knew her, nailit?

Sounds like Roy wanted a sort of Rose of Tralee. Interview and choose the best. ;-)

[Prudie]

I did see this earlier but didn't really know what you wanted people to say. Even the most hardened racist/ant-immigrant/fascist whatever would never say all immigrants are bad. I've not read/seen that in any media at least.

[Zacs-Master]

Yep, not sure what you’re trying to prove here, nailit.

[nailedit]

//Surely there was other people about who could speak English and ring for an ambulance//
Yes there was.
And they crossed the bloody road and left us to it...


//A white, non muslim, woman at that

Well she was white,
didnt identify as anything else,
And definitely
wasnt a muslim.

And yet 2 young Afghani's had her best interests at heart to the point of ringing 999 and yet not knowing how to exactly get her help but knew the basics.

[royfromaus]

Angina attack and her focus is on letting folk know she isn't a Muslim?

[Peter Pedant]

yeah Noami knows where
there is something in the book that says they are obliged to help women in trouble.

In the Arena remember it was a christian that went around helping himself....

Well done everybody.





There, that's sorted.
