Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.

Thugs threw rocks at Filipino NHS nurses on their way to work in a hospital as emergency cover during riots.

The workers were reportedly 'terrified' by the attack on their taxis after the vehicles were the target of yobs in Sunderland. They then set light to a police station following a planned protest linked to the Southport knife attack.

A source told the Mirror: "They were in two different taxis and had been called in because of the trouble as emergency cover. They managed to get through but they were obviously fearful about what might happen to them."

No one in Africa wants them, you may fly the plane past Pine Gap, though, Australia being your former penal colony and all.

True. It was more a reference to them wanting asylum seekers shipped off to Rwanda (I think it was), but in reality I don't wish these people upon anyone.
