@Olivia_Reingold How and in what world is saying this controversial?

How could such a subject land someone in hot water?

Has the world gone completely mad, or has it ever been thus?

I've not vote in Michigan, but if I did have one, it would be for Abdul.

@Acyn What absolute bollocks.

Complete and utter pure unadulterated 24 carat bullshit.

I should not judge, I know better, however it's very difficult to see this man as anything like what a Catholic is called to be, how one should talk about, and seek to love and serve others.

@Neilsocialist Aye, looks to be more performative, and for optics, than any actual substance though. Quelle surprise.

𝗔 𝗣𝗮𝗸𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗶 𝗜𝗺𝗺𝗶𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝗗𝗼𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗿 𝗪𝗵𝗼 𝗦𝗮𝘃𝗲𝗱 𝗧𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘀𝗮𝗻𝗱𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗕𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗶𝘀𝗵 𝗟𝗶𝘃𝗲𝘀!

Meet Dr. Asif Hasan, 70, a Pakistani immigrant and graduate of Dow Medical College, Karachi (1979), who has received the prestigious 2026 Pride of Britain Lifetime Achievement Award for his extraordinary contributions to cardiac surgery.

His remarkable legacy:

- 35 years of service to Britain's NHS.
- 30 years leading Paediatric Cardiac Surgery at Newcastle's Freeman Hospital.
- More than 4,000 open-heart surgeries and approximately 400 heart transplants.
- Pioneered surgical innovations that helped critically ill children survive while awaiting heart transplants.
- Operated on children considered too high-risk by other cardiac centres, often giving them their last chance at survival.
- Trained generations of cardiac surgeons in the UK and internationally.
- Helped save thousands of lives.

One of those children, Seb Hollingsworth, underwent lifesaving surgery at just four months old. Now 17, he is thriving, a living testament to Dr. Hasan's extraordinary work.

Despite his achievements, his humility is remarkable:

"I'm quite an ordinary person but I had so many extraordinary colleagues with me."

Now consider the bigger picture.

At a time when the UK is witnessing a disturbing wave of anti-immigrant and anti-Muslim hostility, stories like this deserve far greater attention.

International Medical Graduates (IMGs), including thousands from Pakistan, India and other countries, have been pillars of healthcare in both the UK and USA for decades.

They save lives, serve underserved communities, train future doctors, advance medical science and strengthen the very healthcare systems millions depend upon.

Yet immigrants, particularly Muslims, are too often subjected to sweeping stereotypes and hostility in public and political discourse.

Dr. Hasan's story reminds us of something fundamental:

An immigrant doctor from Pakistan spent decades saving British children's lives, irrespective of their race, religion or background.

His legacy isn't just the thousands of lives he helped save. It's also the generations of surgeons he trained who will continue saving lives long after his retirement.

Immigrants are not merely statistics in an immigration debate. Their contributions deserve recognition, and no community should be judged by prejudice.

Congratulations, Dr. Asif Hasan. A proud moment for Pakistan, Dow Medical College, International Medical Graduates and the entire medical community.

@jez247 Krishnan Guru-Murthy?

Sarah Helm?

Sorry who is it that you allege supports terror groups?

Ask what they think about what?

I think I'm done discourse with you, who, or whatever you are.

I hope you find peace.

[Paul Flynn @PDAScotOfficer]

@jez247 That a previous post of mine, yes, was I incorrect?

Thats not expressing sympathy is it?

I am sympathetic to Palestinians and all oppressed people. Hope you are also.

[Paul Flynn @PDAScotOfficer]

@jez247 I'm not in the slightest antisemitic. However i am not a big fan of the current Israeli conduct in Gaza or the West Bank. Mind you there's plenty of awful stuff going on across the globe that I don't feel great about. Sorry that seems to upset you.

[Paul Flynn @PDAScotOfficer]

@jez247 Very good, I treat all my patients with the same care and respect. Regardless of colour or creed but that you for your concern. Now I've got obsessions. More leaps of logic.

Not sure why you feel the need need to project things onto me.

All the best

[Paul Flynn @PDAScotOfficer]

@jez247 More insults. Fair thee well

[Paul Flynn @PDAScotOfficer]

@jez247 I'm not on tiktok bud. Any sources or references for these assertions you can share?

Not sure what cult you think i belong to, nor why you think its acceptable to sling around accusations about people.

Not a great way to change someones mind, being obnoxious.

[Paul Flynn @PDAScotOfficer]

@jez247 So Albert didn't reject the idea of an exclusive sovereign Jewish national state?

Please enlighten me.

Sarah helm has a right to say and think what she likes. As do you. Her views have little bearing on what her husband can/cannot do.

So is that you resorting to insults now?

[Paul Flynn @PDAScotOfficer]

@jez247 @JakeWSimons Thats one take certainly.

The post above features a video clip as evidence which I have watched, and have asked you to suggest the inherent issues contained within. You have not.

How, pray tell, are we to assume that Britain's national security is now compromised? Any evidence?
