Has anyone asked Swayne if the employers can get people to do the street cleaning etc for free why would they pay staff to do it? Is that what he wants people made unemployed and then doing the same job for their benefit payments instead

How is that going to grow the economy

In other words, #slavery. And good that she said no.

Swayne is a waste of space. Perhaps he could do something useful before getting his pay.

Forcing Desmond Swayne to do a days work would be more productive instead of him listening to his own voice and thinking that’s my day done.

Perhaps a piece on how the Spanish Flu led to Fascism might now be appropriate?
Pandemics embolden politicians to kill their population because in the end there are no sanctions for doing so.
From democide to genocide.
