BMA TROUBLE-MAKER

Fury as radical BMA leader behind crippling junior doctor strikes blasts Britain as ‘white supremacist patriarchy’

A UNION leftie behind junior doctor strikes described Britain as a “white supremacist patriarchy”, it has been revealed.

Kayode Oki is a voting member of the British Medical Association’s ruling council and had been one of the chief agitators in the pay row.

But The Sun can reveal a string of shocking remarks from the self-professed “socialist trouble-maker”.

Dr Oki branded “so many” members of his own profession as “willing to prop up white supremacist rhetoric”.

And he accused white women of being “scary” ­mischief-makers who steal ideas from black people.

His comments were blasted last night.

Tory Deputy Chairman Lee Anderson told The Sun: “Instead of spouting radical rubbish on Twitter, the BMA leadership should check out the Hippocratic Oath and get round the table to get this strike over with.”

Tory MP Ben Bradley added: “The BMA leadership should stop spouting radical comments like these, stop making everything about race and get on with putting an end to the strikes.”

Dr Oki said: “I am disappointed that these comments, which are my personal views, are being taken without the context such complex subject areas deserve.”

The BMA has unleashed walkouts of members after ministers rejected a 35 per cent pay rise demand.

Negotiations between the union and Health Secretary Steve Barclay have failed to get off the ground.

Union bosses want an independent third party to broker talks, but the Government insists strikes have to pause before they can negotiate.

Almost 200,000 appointments were cancelled last week during a four-day strike by junior doctors.

£1BN COST 'SMALL'

JUNIOR doctors’ leaders face fury after saying the £1billion cost of their pay hike demand is a “small amount of money”.

BMA chief Prof Philip Banfield said the 35 per cent claim is a fraction of the test and trace system cost and a quarter of the burned protective equipment.

He added: “It’s a small amount of money considering the returns this Government would get.”

Tory MP Paul Bristow said: “The BMA would do well to drop their ludicrous demands and get round the table.”

Meanwhile, the NHS has threatened legal action against the Royal College of Nursing, arguing part of its May strike could be unlawful.
