06/09/12 18:41:00 From Fleet Street Fox:You're stupid animals.You're a thick, pathetic, malingering, workshy, lying, cheating, skiving, feckless, fornicating drone. You take without giving, you cost, you're a waste of space and oxygen.You're too gay, too straight, too rich, too poor, too sick. You sit the wrong exams, get the wrong degrees, do the wrong jobs and commit the wrong kind of crimes.There'd be no point in the human race limping on were it not for the 0.001 per cent of the population of these islands which, thankfully, are getting it completely right.They're driven, motivated, ambitious. They go to the right places, know the right people, and are therefore in the best position to tell the other 99.999 per cent of us how to get it right, like them.And if they get things horribly wrong, well, that's just not a problem.So a man who charged the taxpayer for Mandarin lessons the same year he married a Chinese wife, whose job was to oversee the shambolic security preparations for the Olympics, who blamed the Hillsborough disaster on hooliganism, and who had a non-partisan role overseeing the takeover of a broadcaster by a media company with whose owners he was surprisingly chummy, with whose lobbyist he played tennis, and with which the multi-million pound company he still owns shares in did business, who was hauled before an inquiry and called a liar, doesn't get sacked.He gets promoted to a more important job looking after an organisation which saves lives. Never mind that he's as ham-fisted as a clown juggling greased pigs, never mind that he ignores medical and scientific fact to support homeopathy and voted to slash the abortion time limit; no, the best person to be placed in charge of your stupid lives is the man who has nine of his own.By my reckoning Jeremy Hunt's been through eight already, so hopefully he won't be in charge of the NHS for too long.
