Jeremy Hunt (and yes, that is how you spell and pronounce it, many opinions to the contrary) has called the recent record of A&E departments in the NHS 'unacceptable' despite the fact that he is the man responsible for making them acceptable and has been for some time.
Mr Hunt, who refused to take the junior doctors up on their offer that he resign since he was completely incompetent and didn't understand how anything worked and was making things worse by forcing a new contract on them against their will, never once saw the irony of his situation in any of the number of interviews that he gave on the subject.
When asked what he was going to do about the situation, he stated ,"What I've always done, absolutely nothing. Though I might blame the doctors again. After all, they're supposed to know what they're doing. I'm just a government minister, so why should I know what I'm talking about?"
Junior doctors all over the country rolled their eyes and got on with the job of ministering to the sick in overly-busy departments for longer hours and less pay than they deserve.
