Hypocritic oafs
AT a stroke, the Marxist mercenaries holding the NHS to ransom have managed to unite the country – in condemnation of their greed.
There is no possible justification for “resident” doctors to vote for strikes this summer in pursuit of a fantasy 29 per cent pay rise.

Yet, after Labour unwisely gave the junior doctors a 22 per cent increase last year, here we are again — with patients facing more waiting time chaos caused by walkouts.
The BMA’s nonsensical claim is that their pay should go back to the levels last seen in 2008.
But, of course, the union is now led by an extreme Labour activist.
Corbynista Dr Tom Dolphin is a disciple of hard-Left MPs John McDonnell and Dawn Butler.
He is also leading a charge to reinstate puberty blockers on the NHS for troubled teenagers who think they might be trans.
Could it be that far from merely wanting better pay for his members, Dolphin also wants to cause maximum damage to the Government, just as his predecessors tried to use strikes to destroy the Tories last year?
Any increased pay deal would have to come from NHS money meant to be spent on patients.
Health Secretary Wes Streeting should know he has the overwhelming backing of the public to tell these cash-grabbers to get stuffed.
Drink up
WE hate to be glass half empty.
But the last orders bell is now loudly ringing out the death knell for our beloved pubs.
At least one is now closing every single day.
Landlords can no longer swallow a toxic mix of soaring energy costs and crippling business rates.
April’s National Insurance rise on employers proved to be one blow too many.
It is a tragedy that our uncaring Government not only abandoned pubs in their hour of need but actively pursued policies that drove so many of them out of existence.
Sick notes
LABOUR has no hope of cutting the out-of-control welfare bill while it makes claiming benefits more lucrative than work.
Why would anyone go out to earn a living when it turns out they can stay in bed and make £2,500 a year more on sickness benefits than the average worker stuck on the national living wage?
When will we see support for the strivers – and the skivers hauled off the dole?
