Hate and war
IF someone calls a Tory Government “the axis of evil” and its 14million voters “neo-fascists” you can safely conclude they are an ignorant leftie extremist.
So too if they claim Tories are motivated by “white supremacy” despite putting black or Asian-British politicians in three of the four great offices of State.
Such hate-filled guff circulates routinely on social media and usefully red-flags the writer as an unthinking dolt.
And it wouldn’t much matter were these not the rantings of Sheila Sobrany, now President of the Royal College of Nursing, the union leading our nurses out on strikes at catastrophic cost to the NHS and its patients.
The latest begins tomorrow night.
From tongue scraping to saying no, here are 12 health trends to try in 2023
Our four major teaching unions, meanwhile, including the giant NEU run by Corbynite hardliners, now aim to empty schools via co-ordinated walkouts by heads, teachers, assistants and others.
Nurses and teachers DO deserve a reasonable pay rise, with inflation rampant.
But it is beyond doubt now that the chief motivation of the agitators running their unions is political war.
We say this to the hundreds of thousands of sensible nurses, heads and teachers: Your real revolt should not be against the Government, which is duty bound to calm inflation and show restraint with taxpayers’ money.
It should be against Marxist militants.
They are using you as their foot soldiers — and the sick, the dying and our stressed kids as their cannon fodder.
Sharp exit
BBC chairman Richard Sharp had to walk the plank.
Rishi Sunak must replace him with someone else determined to end the corporation’s liberal-left groupthink.
Sharp made a fatal error not declaring his link to Boris Johnson’s loan.
But the crowing from Labour and its allies is absurd, especially given how the Blair Government installed cronies at the Beeb.

It is truly ridiculous for a Starmer front-bencher to say Sharp “caused untold damage to the reputation of the BBC and seriously undermined its independence”.
Years of uniform left-wing bias masquerading as “neutrality” did that.
So the PM should face down the Left and install a Right-leaning new chief.
It is exactly what the BBC needs.
Bot’s up, doc?
WE’RE in two minds about the artificial intelligence bot ChatGPT beating real doctors when answering health questions.
Is robo-doc the future?
True, you wouldn’t need to wait six weeks for an appointment only to be told to take two paracetamol.
But your actual GP is probably less likely to declare war on mankind, nuke the planet or harvest your body-heat for energy while keeping you prisoner in a simulated reality.
Swings and roundabouts.
