UK: Acid Attacks Now at ‘Epidemic Levels’, Says Burns Surgeon
Breitbart London ^ | August 7, 2017 | Jack Montgomery

A burns surgeon who treats many acid attack victims coming out of East London has suggested that the proliferation of such crimes is now at epidemic levels.

Dr Martin Niall, a burn surgeon at Mid-Essex Hospital, told National Public Radio (NPR) in the U.S. that acid attacks in Britain “are now at levels that one of my colleagues described as epidemic”.

He added: “Everyone, ourselves included, has been shocked by this emerging threat to public health.”

In terms of attacks per head of population, London is now the acid attack capital of the world, with a 74 per cent rise in assaults — from 261 to 454 — between 2015 and 2016.

Hundreds of attacks have already been logged for the first few months of 2017. Twelve people suffered burns and in some cases lost their vision after an attack in a Hackney nightclub at Easter, and two moped-mounted teens attacked five people around London in under 90 minutes in a July crime spree.

Delivery drivers in the capital — who are considered easy targets for bike theft assisted by acid — now refuse to work in certain parts of London due to the danger.

More cultural enrichment brought to the UK by immigrants in recent decades.

importing Pakistanis is the worst thing a country can do.

Their culture is highly illiterate, violent, corrupt and inbred, which goes hand in hand with Islam everywhere - but they are among the worst.

They shouldn’t be allowed out of their own country, much less into the West.

when I was young I would ride my bike for miles though the country to play little league baseball, I would get chased and bit by dogs often, Lord forgive me, but one day I put clorox in a water pistol play gun, when those dogs started nipping at me I gave em a spray from ol faithful, they never did it again, can’t relate this to terrorist ahole^, but can be a nasty tool..

All Brits should apply conceal carry licenses to carry bags of baking soda to neutralize the acid after attacks.

That would probably be banned as being Islamophobic.
