Doctor diagnoses English blight

Posted by Rob Irvine on January 24, 2007 6:13 PM | 

I wouldn't mind being a fly on the wall at Doctor Richard Landon's GP surgery in Rhyl this week.
He's gone on record as saying that the town is suffering under a blight of criminals and junkies who have moved over the border from Liverpool, Manchester and Birmingham.
Dr L had his say at a town council meeting - and speaking to the Daily Post today he stood by his remarks despite howls of protest from a member of the council.
Read the story on page seven in Thursday's edition - and if you agree or disagree then have your say. Post a comment here or on the website at dailypost.co.uk - just follow the links to the forum.
We're especially keen to hear from some of his 3,000 patients (and I have to assume that some of these will be English...and not all that chuffed with their doc right this moment).
Page one has a blurb about this story but the splash is about the police decision to name two of its "most wanted" suspects - and to put their pictures on display. If you recognise them and know where they are then let us and the police know.

After reading Doctor Richard Landon's comments in the Post, I must agree with him, walk though Rhyl,, and all you hear is Liverpool and Manchester ,Birmingham ascents, and I talked to some one who is a store detective, and most of the offender that there is come from the above mention places, his comments about single parents is on the mark.

Easy to Diagnose, not so easy to cure. Stick to being a doctor.

Doctor Landon is perfectly right in his remarks . The whole of the North Wales coast has been blighted by these undesirables. I remember Rhyl being a lovely seaside resort which we visited with our Sunday School. I wouldn't go near the place after my visit last year. No wonder the police call it the Beirut of North Wales !!
