High School COVID-ential – Start Your Week with Ros Taylor

Schools are back. Will the decision not to vaccinate 12-15 year olds turn classes into superspreader factories – or do we actually want school-age kids to catch COVID and build up immunity? Plus, why the Government won’t provide the catch-up funds that education needs. What the Pen Farthing episode tells us about sentimental Britain. And the shame of Afghanistan is just beginning. Ros Taylor starts your week.  “It’s simple – the Government is pursuing de facto herd immunity by not vaccinating children.” “The problem with education goes beyond our woeful Education Secretary… We have a perfect storm of public spending” “It’s hard not conclude that some of the British public care more about a dog than they care about a brown person.” Presented and produced by Andrew Harrison. Assistant producers Jelena Sofronijevic and Jacob Archbold. Music by Kenny Dickinson. Audio production by Alex Rees.
