Judas Goats?
From Nama Wine Lake:
“So these [1200], are they Judas goats – a term borrowed from the livestock industry for an animal which leads others to the slaughterhouse, also known as a “Judas cow”, the Judas goat is trained to lead others to the slaughterhouse, walks out the other side and is rewarded for its repeat efforts. Or do people recognise the €18bn annual deficit this country is running, and they see the €100 charge as a necessary contribution to plug the deficit. Difficult to know, but the unfairness of the charge – which is €100 regardless of whether you live in a mansion or a studio flat, earn €1m or the minimum wage, own your house outright or are shouldered with negative equity – really does stand out.”
