Boris and a costa?

[ThisHereMamaBear]

I am so confused now. What message is he giving? We're in Lockdown and he's having a costa. I had a close look at the picture and it doesn't look like one of those fill them up at home cups. I'm moving planets.

does he not own a kettle then?

It’s been made very clear that if shops sell it you can buy it. Takeout food places have been open throughout. There is nothing wrong with this.

I was told I was murdering babies by going to the supermarket to buy two items.

I don’t think Boris has done anything wrong but it’s strange how one post on here says it’s fine and others are telling people they are murderers.

I do agree the optics don’t look good. He should not be doing this until there is a serious relaxation of restriction because he is supposed to e setting an example. Not that he does though...

Bread & gruel all round then.

Good grief, the poor man.
He's probably been up half the night with a new born. I expect he needs that coffee.
Give the chap a break!

It’s fine.

I judge the pm of this country for having a Costa when a few weeks back he was ill in hospital.

WTF is the problem with that?! If I’d been in hospital, I’d be craving a proper coffee too. My nhs doctor friends are all only surviving because of caffeine at the moment.

This is a non issue. Government departments including the home office, foreign office, Whitehall etc have Costa inside the buildings - it’s part of the canteen so Will still be open.

Maybe he picked them up with a pack of fags? I cant really find the energy to care. My Tesco Express has a Costa machine. They are also selling fags.

I buy tonic water for my gin during my weekly shopping. It's not essential. But I'm not breaking lockdown, the rules or the guidelines.

Shoot me now, I was even going pick my dd some new socks up when she could just made do with selotape and a j cloth.

Its a non issue and just another excuse to bash Boris. Would it have been better if it was a Waitrose cup.

What were your thoughts on Diane Abbot's illegal can of G& T on the train, OP?

Well I disagree, it hasn't been made clear at all. Why are we bothering with lockdown if it's fine to go to the shop and get a Costa?

So he can't have a takeaway coffee because he has been in hospital? There's a huge Costa in the entrance of our local hospital. I am not understanding the angst here.

No me neither. This is pearl clutching competitive silliness.

But if I posted I got a takeaway coffee I would be lambasted.

Interesting.

OP, I hope that at your home you do not have tea, coffee, sugar, wine, biscuits or any type of processed carbohydrate? Not essential.

@Legoandloldolls I think it's different going shopping AND getting non essential items compared with just getting a Costa. Maybe he did a weekly shop at the same time though.

Sorry, are people on here seriously suggesting that Boris Johnson does his own shopping in a supermarket?? I can just see him queuing outside Morrisons ...

Ha ha ha OP ha ha ha ......You are joking right ?

Our local Morrison's garage has a Costa machine. Could a driver, bodyguard or assistant have fetched it?

According to the newspaper article I saw it was one of those reusable cups, so he may have made himself a coffee and then gone for a walk.

What shop did he go to? A Costa cafe, a booth in the park, a hospital outlet. Costa are everywhere. Do you feel so strongly about people buying bottles of water.

Why should he be in lockdown? He's already had the virus.

YY it's highly likely somebody else picked it up for him. Is that allowed?
