I was very ill in hospital last year and on my way to surgery I had a migrant nurse hold my hand and tell me she’d be praying for me I thought of her this morning when I heard of the nurse being chased in Belfast last night this is a total disgrace I feel ashamed this morning
This is possibly the saddest thing I've seen in a long time..an immigrant nurse talking about fleeing her home..she saved her UNIFORM. So she could still WORK for our communities.
I'd fill this country with a thousand of this woman than one of those good for nothing thugs.
God help this poor woman.
The horrific knife attack isn't new nor "alien” to NI. The Shankill Butchers were Belfast born & bred. They cut throats from ear to ear. Let’s not engage in historical amnesia just because previous barbarity was never videoed nor went viral.

With the kids out of school for summer this mother found a really neat way to help the kids cool off and be creative at the same time. How cool is this?
