Pupil peril

WHAT must ordinary teachers think about the cynical wrecking actions of their union leaders?

Dedicated classroom staff know the UKs chief medical officers are dead right to say kids are more at risk of long-term harm from staying at home than from returning to school.

They appreciate more than most how youngsters have been damaged by more than five months without learning, and that the most disadvantaged kids have suffered disproportionately.

Their chief concern will be for the education of their pupils.

Of course they want to be safe, and they want the children to be safe, but they dont want to wait for impossible guarantees before returning to classrooms where the risk of infection is exceptionally small.

That cant be said of the union militants who see the Covid crisis as the perfect excuse to hold the Government to ransom.

For them, pupils are just useful political pawns. The latest obstacles to learning come from Unison demanding more money for cleaning and masks for teachers before it will agree to the return to school.

Wouldnt they and flip-flopping Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer enjoy the Governments discomfort if they turn the start of the new term into another education fiasco?

And if childrens futures are blighted in the process, so what?

Thats a risk the militants seem only too happy to take.

THE spate of illegal parties being broken up by police is shockingly predictable.

Young adults happy to binge on dubious Class A drugs and toxic quantities of alcohol are hardly likely to bother too much about social distancing.

Meanwhile, sensibly-controlled pubs and restaurants face a return to lockdown if Covid infections rise when the real culprits are those spreading the disease at unregulated gatherings.

The deadly threat that partygoers pose to the elderly or vulnerable clearly doesnt bother them when they selfishly suppose they wont be badly affected if they catch Covid.

Raving idiots.

THE BBC is set to drop crowd favourites Land of Hope and Glory and Rule, Britannia from the Last Night of The Proms in solidarity with Black Lives Matter.

They think the perfect time to make the change is in the absence of a passionate audience who have cared deeply about these songs symbols of our national pride for more than 100 years.
