Alex talks to writer and philosopher Ben Irvine about his unique perspective on what he calls the Coronapanic, that Boris correctly pursued a Herd Immunity strategy in March 2020 but was abandoned by the conservative commentariat, leaving him open to attack from the socialist bureaucracies and unions, particularly the teachers.

Find out in this fascinating conversation.
Ben Irvine is the author of numerous books, including Scapegoated Capitalism and Space to Create: A writer's view on the housing crisis. You can buy them here.
