A common complaint about modern politicians is that they lack the talent of the great figures of the past. That is why we must admire the genius of Jeremy Hunt. When he was Culture Secretary he managed to anger almost everybody, including people who couldn’t care less about culture, and after a few months as Health Secretary he’s enraged almost every doctor in Britain.
If he became Minister for Circuses, by the end of the week there’d be a clown strike. If he was head of the Church of England, within a fortnight we’d see the first national church organists’ riot, led by 83-year-old Conservative voter Eileen Tidbury from Guildford – who would state she was proud to be arrested for using the organ pipes from Westminster Abbey as a battering ram against Hunt’s office. And Reverend Armthorpe of Cheltenham would become a hero for leading the choir in a chorus of “Jeremy Hunt the arrogant...” during a recording of Songs of Praise.

for too long the doctors have gone along with the extremist minority 98 per cent who oppose the plans, rather than the 2 per cent that represent the moderate centre ground. This is how the militants of the British Medical Association get their way, the anarchist Marxists. It’s just strike strike strike with them: they had one 40 years ago, and now, before the dust has even settled on that one, they’re having another one.
