Dear Racists,
Over the years we have seen social media used to decry immigrants and in particular Muslims.
From attempts to link anyone who share the Islamic faith , with terrorist attacks or someone who condones it, in a way which they do not expect any Christian or white person to condemn the many acts of terrorism conducted by white
supremacist
To showing those vile people from Grooming Gangs , publishing their photographs on social media or in the mainstream press , and not even questioning the idea that it may have come to the attention of the authorities when they notice vulnerable children in the presence of Asian men and that there may be many more white men doing the same thing who do dot immediately register on the radar.
Now as we enter the fifth week of lockdown we should acknowledge that many Muslims Immigrants are on the front line in defending us against the coronavirus and are giving their lives
Three Muslim doctors in the UKwere among the first medical staff to die of the novel coronavirus in the space of a week, amid reports that National Health Service staff are being denied basic protective equipment to carry out their duties.
The medical practitioners were immigrants of Muslim backgrounds, according to media reports.
Sudanese-born ear, nose and throat specialist Dr Amged El Hawrani died in Leicester in central England, after he had tested positive for the Covid-19 illness.
The Mirror recently put on the front page and it is clear the amount of BAME doctors and Nurses is very high among those who have given their lives
So a when this is over and we enter a period of more Austerity , don't lets get the same racist reaction we got during Brexit and never forget if it wasn't for Immigrants in our Health service , the we would have seen possibly thousands more deaths.

Sudanese-born ear, nose and throat specialist Dr Amged El Hawrani died in Leicester in central England, after he had tested positive for the Covid-19 illness.
The 55-year-old had been on life support for nearly two weeks.
Hawrani's passing followed that of Sudanese surgeon Adil El Tayar and Habib Zaidi, a GP of Pakistani origin.
Dr El Tayar, 63, previously worked in Sudan and Saudi Arabia, before returning to help the NHS cope with the coronavirus pandemic.
"He wanted to be sent where he would be most useful in the crisis," Zeinab Badawi, a cousin of Dr El Tayar, told the BBC.
"That was typical of my cousin Adil, always willing to help, always with a willing smile. It had taken just 12 days for Adil to go from a seemingly fit and capable doctor working in a busy hospital to lying in a hospital morgue."
Tributes were paid for the three doctors, with many pointing out that their efforts run contrary to the often negative portrayals of Muslims and immigrants in the Britis
