Caught Bairstow
JONNY Bairstow won’t be short of work after his glittering cricket career.
For starters, he could always run the Met Police.
Seeing him sweep up a Just Stop Oiler and deposit him over the Lords boundary without him touching the ground was as exhilarating as any of his sixes.
What a lesson from this no-nonsense Yorkshireman to our dithering cops.
For years they have pathetically enabled the eco cult’s road-blocking stunts, insisting they had too few powers to prevent them.
Spectacular New Year fireworks light up London sky as huge crowds celebrate across UK for first time in three years
They now have those — but our capital still seems at the louts’ mercy.
What excuse do police have now? The public wants action, Bairstow-style.
Millions loathe the protesters’ sociopathic arrogance, their ignorance, their facile slogans and deranged exaggerations, their cowardly focus on UK emissions, their left-wing activism dressed up as environmental concern . . . not to mention the simple injustice of their criminality going largely unpunished.
These brainwashed fools appear undeterred by unpopularity, or even by their original US funder despairing that they have trashed his cause.
But then they still enjoy support on the Labour and Lib Dem benches.
And indulgent nitwits like “Lord Deben”, ex-Tory minister John Gummer, feebly sympathise with their “desperation” and talk up the nobility of their cause.
This doddering relic runs a quango advising the Government on climate change.
The Tories would be mad to listen.
Wads up, docs
WE’VE seen it all now: Hard-left union activists campaigning for £128,000-a-year hospital consultants to extract a huge pay rise from the NHS.
We thought they championed the poor, not doctors with million-pound homes.
Robbie Williams poised to launch his own brand of energy drinks to rival Prime
One typical senior BMA figure claims Brexit was secretly orchestrated by Russia, that it “enabled racists” and that non-woke people are “pond life”.
This judgmental conspiracist crank is, God help us, an NHS surgeon.
Next month the public will mark the health service’s 75th birthday.
Just as the Corbynite union representing its best-paid medics gets busy sabotaging it by striking for even more money.
Killers clamp
FATHERS jailed for murdering their partners must lose any power over their children automatically.
They have robbed them of a mother.
Why should they retain control after that? Yet this is not clear-cut in law.
Which enables Russell Marsh, serving 25 years for knifing his ex Jade Ward, to thwart their kids’ passport applications.
The Government says it hopes to accelerate the process by which bereaved families apply to restrict murderers’ powers.
That’s not good enough.
Just change the law once and for all.
