Britain's Health Secretary Wes Streeting has threatened to deny healthcare to "Racists" after a pair of nurses from the Philippines were allegedly attacked with rocks while traveling to work in a taxi in Sunderland, England, during anti-mass migration protests.
While neither of the two nurses was harmed, they claimed they were "Terrified" by the attack, which took place last Friday, August 2, amid the protests and riots sparked by the killing of three young girls in Southport by a migration-background teenager.
Streeting said there was "Zero tolerance" for intimidation, harassment, or racist abuse toward National Health Service employees.
"People who are abusing NHS staff can be turned away, and should be turned away, if that is the way that they are treating our staff," he insisted.
This is not the first time health officials have said they would deny alleged racists healthcare.
With anti-mass migration protests are expected to continue across Britain this week, Labour Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has promised to crack down on those taking part, as well as those supporting the protests online.
Director of Public Prosecutions Stephen Parkinson has even threatened that the British government will look to extradite people from overseas if they support the anti-mass migration protests.
