Important piece here by my friend @JournalistHelen - measles is NOT always a simple childhood illness you get over in a couple of weeks. Can't believe this is still an issue 20 years after Wakefield who has since been struck off. Get your kids vaccinated. dailymail.co.uk/news/article…

How, HOW have we come to this? The council workers should go on strike rather than enact this evil policy. I want to cry with rage. Anyone who votes Tory next time has blood on their hands.
