Message from Rosie to Doc Malik

I can't wait to watch your latest podcast video with Dr Cartland (and other recordings), I've been a bit busy this week so have fallen a bit behind on watching the podcasts, but you're easily my favourite interviewer/discussion/online voice of wisdom! I love listening to your podcasts and it's great to hear a fellow Glaswegian behind the microphone! 💖

People like you restore my faith in humanity, Dr Malik - and in the lingering residue of what's left of the medical profession. One day we'll all be able to build something better without the evil we've seen in the last few years relentlessly dragging us down, and you will get the hero's reception that you absolutely deserve.

When I was a wee girl my old grandad from Possilpark told me his stories of how he was a PoW in Burma under the Japanese in WWII. Always the funny stories he would tell us at the dinner table, but I could see it was painful for him even to tell those stories. He always ate his dinner so slowly piece by piece, like a starving man. His 'funny stories' were always tempered by a faraway look in the eye that told me not all of his pals in that funny story had survived Burma and he'd seen them die beside him in some minging muddy hut. I understood even as a kid that he'd done something sacred and sacrificial on behalf of us all. For freedom. That he sacrificed something deep so we could all sleep safe and wake up free in our beds the next day.

You're carrying on his legacy and fighting for the freedom of us all, Dr Malik! You're a war hero just like him. Even braver actually - cos you're going against the grain of popular society! You're an inspiration to all of us right now and I love listening to your podcast, it makes me feel so less alone in my little island of Gorbals non mask-wearing non-jagging rebellion 😉

Big hugs, and please take care. Love to you, your family and friends, and to all your lovely guests and fellow followers
