@Itstheprinciple

The covid threat level has gone from 3 to 4. That's the announcement. Sadly not his resignation.
Is that really enough of a reason to call a Sunday evening press conference when your baby's a few days old? Seems bonkers.

@girlmom21

The douchbag has 47 kids, hardly a fresh new daddy. A newborn won't make a difference to him

girlmom21 · 12/12/2021 17:52

@Borisjohnsonshairbrush very true...

Probably just a good excuse to skip out on having to change a couple of shitty nappies. All in a days work.

ChicCroissant · 12/12/2021 17:52

I'm assuming it's about the booster jabs for 30 year olds, surely even Johnson hasn't got the balls to try and announce any limits on meeting up after the photos today?

Poetrypatty · 12/12/2021 17:52

No journalists there so he can't be asked questions. Just trying to change the news headlines like he always does.

yellowgreysocks · 12/12/2021 17:57

It's pre recorded apparently. On at 8. Just to tell us about boosters??? Why?? Makes NO sense to panic everyone S the only other times we've had this is for lockdowns.

Poetrypatty · 12/12/2021 19:02

It makes people have to talk about something other than his parties. I think that's why he's doing it. It's outrageous really to not allow questions from journalists.

@Hen2018

I shall expect him to come shambling out at about 8.20 then.

'Conf' though Grin

I recall a similar post on reddit last year when someone referred to the pandemic as 'pando' it really tickled me.

Lawnpop · 12/12/2021 19:24

A pre recorded speech with no questions. He’s a coward.

ChocolateRiver · 12/12/2021 19:29

Yeah, as others have said - urging caution and encouraging booster uptake. Nothing of any real significance.

ftw163532 · 12/12/2021 19:43

Where's the other thread on this? I've lost it.

shakingmytambourineatyou · 12/12/2021 19:44

Go out but stay in. Wear a mask unless you're singing. Something about Peppa Pig.

ftw163532 · 12/12/2021 19:49

Thank you.

SpindlesAdventWhirl · 12/12/2021 19:53

I wish he'd just fuck off

FindingMeno · 12/12/2021 19:55

@SpindlesAdventWhirl well said.

MrsDThomas · 12/12/2021 19:57

Thank god for Christmas movies on 325 eh? CBA to listen to the bumbling lying cunt.

eightmaidsamilking · 12/12/2021 20:05

Blah blah blah.

girlmom21 · 12/12/2021 20:08

So we're sacrificing appointments for people who are ill now and need care to give people a jab that won't protect them again in a few weeks time? Nice.

ChicCroissant · 12/12/2021 20:09

I can't see that happening, the system struggles to make appointments every time they drop the age bracket. Where is he going to magic all the people and buildings up from?

Attictroll · 12/12/2021 20:13

God I hate him. Bumbling and lacking credibility- I also tried to book my booster today and no appointments at any of my local centres until January - tried to order more lateral flo and website had permanent errors.
I worry about people who have regular appointments and what will be missed and it all seems so futile and sad.
Could he really credibly ask the country to go into lockdown after party gate!

Hen2018 · 12/12/2021 20:17

I’ve had my booster and am pro-vaccinations but how is he going to find all these volunteers and train them AND do all the boosters before the end of December?

I mean, no one is going to go after about the 22nd until the 27th or on NYE!
