Not Being Herd

Like "cannon fodder", "herd immunity" is the language of class war, with the heavy dose of racism that that always includes. 

And "herd immunity" is obviously the Government's strategy. In extending the furlough until October, it is planning for a second spike.

The first spike was caused by imposing the lockdown too late, while the second will be caused by easing it too early.

It is only the cattle dying, so it is worth it for the sake of "herd immunity". Indeed, some of us can remember when more fuss was made over the deaths of cattle. 

The faction that was then in government is now back in control of the Labour Party, under a Leader who has been calling for his corporate sponsors to be given an "exit strategy" since even before his coronation.

When 60,000 people have died, then will one parliamentary seat be abolished? Then we could at least get rid of Keir Starmer.
