It’s easy to have a degree of schadenfreude about #BrexitFuelShortages. #BrexitHasFailed as it was always a shit idea.

The region I provide lung cancer services to voted to leave the EU. They didn’t vote for fuel shortages, gas price rises, empty shelves, or their cancer care to be affected.
#BrexitReality is hitting home, and it will be my patients that suffer.

My three nearest petrol stations are shut down.
How can anyone in @Conservatives govt justify the self-inflicted harm on this nation to any one of my patients.

The wilful dishonesty by this govt has been a gaslight.
The rest of the world has also been hit by covid, show me where else fuel pumps are shut down, and there are hour long queues and fights breaking out at petrol pumps.
This is #brexit

The anti-immigrant sentiment that has been running through the tabloids, media and government for the last 6 years has been nothing short of xenophobia.
For the record, I’m an immigrant too, but am afforded the privilege of staying due to being ‘high skilled’

It hurts…that given the chance, some people in England would rather have ‘one of their own’ treating them.

A second class citizen as a consultant oncologist? It sounds ridiculous.
But this is the power of anti-immigrant rhetoric. It cuts deep and leaves wounds that are slow to heal.

For my part, I will do my absolute best to make sure I can make the 130 mile round trip.
My patients deserve better than this. They deserve better than having their cancer care affected by self-inflicted idealogical harm.
