Doctors Fear Backlash After Car Bombings

OK, I'll admit that even I was surprised to find out that a bunch of sociopaths with a elephantine superiority complex and contempt for human life all turned out to be Jihadis. Of course, that could explain a lot - they probably subcontracted the bomb-making to a nurse practitioner.

Following previous templates, I expect the government will set up a special task-force to reach out to alienated medics, you won't be able to call Mengle, Shipman or Crippen by their titles anymore and any movie featuring Hannibal Lecter will be quietly banned from TV.

Well, why not ? As the BBC reminds us, employment in the NHS is the only common factor here. Ah yes. Funnily enough, most folks tend to concentrate on the mysterious other factor, the one that also links them with the July 7 bombers, the Sep 11 hijackers, the Bali bombers, the Madrid bombers and the would-be Ministry of Sound bombers. Well, most folks outside the MSM anyway.

It's an important philosophical question actually. Do they really think we're too stupid to notice or have years of political correctness finally driven the MSM round the bend ? Just to ram the point home, while the BBC was pushing the 'no connection' line, they were also carrying articles like this.

Huh ? Are they trying to say there's some connection between Islam and terrorism ? Apparently, PC McPlod is investigating a couple of 'minor racist incidents' - well, that plus three kind of big ones, I'm guessing. Still, it's enough for the moderately moderates to go WHINECON ONE:

Mr Sarwar, MP for Glasgow Central [said] "I have spoken to a number of people from the Muslim community and the Asian community who feel very angry," he said.

"They're concerned about a backlash and that's why the emergency meeting has been called."

Not to give aid & comfort to the enemy, but these folks would probably find the whole 'moderate' act easier to pull off if they were as angry about PEOPLE TRYING TO SLAUGHTER THEIR FELLOW CITIZENS as they are about a purely theoretical 'backlash' that never actually happens.

Incidentally, if we're talking 'root causes of terrorism' an ideology where the first response to potential mass slaughter by fellow acolytes is to indulge in paranoid race baiting might have something to do with it. Don't ask the MSM though, their still busy trying to work out what it is about owning a stethoscope that drives people to attempt mass murder.

20 mg of Humbugex STAT!

Get this: the government has introduced new rules whereby immigrants will only be considered for jobs if there’re no suitable local candidates.

Don’t worry, there’s no need to retune your sense of reality, the rules only apply to doctors. Can you imagine a better proof of the toxic mix of elitism and cynicism that drives British Liberalism? Liberals will prattle on endlessly about the benefits of mass immigration, but when it’s their ox being gored, suddenly we get this:

The changes were prompted by the massive rise in numbers at medical school threatening a glut of doctors.

But…but…but I thought that was the point! Wasn’t mass immigration a good thing because it kept down inflationary wage pressures ? So run this by me again, o egalitarian ones: downward pressure on the wages of bar maids and janitors is a good, downward pressure on medical wages is a bad. Ah yes.

The joke used to be what do you call the guy who graduated bottom of the class at medical school ? Doctor. Now, the jokes on us with even the dimmest GPs scoring six figures. How does this supply and demand thing work again ? Meanwhile, we have a medical profession chock full of the type of people who defend the poverty caused by mass immigration by explaining that the people who lose out are all chav scum anyway. I say it’s well past time for some sauce for this goose.

Let’s just consider the wider issues though: Liberals defend an open door policy towards jihadis, pushers and perverts by claiming that it’s culturally enriching to have a former Somalian milita leader living at the bottom of the road. Well, here’s a whole bunch of people who are, doubtless, plenty vibrant, but also intelligent and hardworking, and suddenly the Left has decided that border controls are the way of the future. If only these medics had stopped prescribing drugs and started selling them, Liberals would be all over them, but in the bizzarro world of Liberal immigration policy, the skills Britain really needs are welfare scrounging, blowing stuff up and dressing like a circus clown.

Meanwhile, in order to prop up one of Britain's most highly paid professions, the Left is forcing out huge numbers of highly-trained, hard working professionals providing valuable services. I'm guessing they're jut afraid that if the don't doctors will finally admit the truth, and classify Liberalism as a form of mental illness.
