Chief Medical Officer Sally Davies lives for taxes, bans and hammering the poor whose diets she abhors

IMAGINE a nightmarish future society where buying biscuits is an act of shame.
Where chocolate, by law, is hidden in plain wrappers like cigarettes. Where football grounds have to ban pies in case working-class fans eat them.
Where taxes on treats are imposed specifically so the poorest cannot afford them. Where restaurants, already struggling, are forced to slash portions.
This isn’t a disturbing sci-fi drama. It’s the dystopian vision of outgoing Chief Medical Officer Sally Davies, the most deranged of the nanny-state zealots.
She won’t prioritise exercise and education to curb obesity.
She lives for taxes, bans, ending freedoms and choice, hammering the poor whose diets she abhors.
She is the poster girl of a metropolitan elite whose sneering disdain for the rest of us has never been more obvious.
She got lucky with Theresa May, who bought this guff. Boris Johnson won’t.
He should have a sharp word with Health Secretary Matt Hancock too.
How The Sun will celebrate Davies’ departure. Doughnuts all round!
EU’re mistaken
WITH every barb and every snub, British hearts harden. Ex-Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt is right to warn the EU of that.
When Brussels rejects a reasonable offer, anger grows.
When Juncker says the UK will “collapse” in a No Deal, our people become more determined.
But the EU isn’t listening to Hunt. It prefers the comfort of Speaker Bercow telling them how he’ll stop us leaving.
Or Lib Dem leader Jo Swinson, sworn to revoke Article 50 or hold a rigged second referendum she would not honour if Leave won. What possible justification was there for her meeting EU negotiator Michel Barnier yesterday?
Brussels only listens to Remainers. So it thinks Britain has “changed its mind”.
It is, as Mr Hunt says, a “catastrophic miscalculation”.
Sue the celebs
EXTINCTION Rebellion should be ashamed that hundreds of cops are being diverted from across Britain to arrest them.
But once you swallow the “billions will die” fantasy, anything goes. It’s your free pass for anarchy. The science, though, does not support their apocalypse. They’re just a cult, breaking the law.
MOST READ IN OPINION
Ignoring that we already have the most ambitious “net zero” target in the G20, and the fastest emissions cuts, luvvie actors and rock musicians help fund this outfit to “hold the Tories to account”.
Who holds THEM to account? Their facile posturing is making our streets less safe. It inflicts huge costs on the police and justice system and economic damage on the capital. City Airport will be “shut down” today.
On taxpayers’ behalf, the Home Office should sue stars bankrolling this hysteria.
