I loved it that one of them asked more or less 'Who the hell is this Dido character'?

SophieB100 · 27/05/2020 17:02

Boris has got to come back on a hell of a lot of questions...silly people asking the PM questions he can't possibly answer.

Does the contact tracer have to say who the person with the virus was?

I can see some 'wind up' calls here.

AnneKipanki · 27/05/2020 17:04

Checking in for the new thread .

CarolynMartens · 27/05/2020 17:04

I love that Clive has made no effort to tidy up Grin

The80sweregreat · 27/05/2020 17:06

Yeah, who is Dido?
I loved how he mentioned Nicola and Arlene as if they were ' girl fans'!
I think not.

Roussette · 27/05/2020 17:08

Here....

'Dido Harding has been appointed to lead the programme of testing and tracing as part of the govt. ongoing response to coronavirus, which will include the NHS Covid-19 app. January 2018 Dido Harding joined the board of Jockey Club, which runs the Cheltenham Festival. God Help Us.'

He can't stop going on about her can he?

chomalungma · 27/05/2020 17:10

He's no Jacinda Arden

What a fuckwit Johnson is

chomalungma · 27/05/2020 17:14

Watching it on Sky but I see it's also on BBC1

I guess the Liason Committee has never really been live on BBC1 for the full session

NoMoreReluctantCustodians · 27/05/2020 17:15

Well he certainly hasn't made things better. He looks completely out off his depth

tobee · 27/05/2020 17:15

In those days at to get into Oxford you had to pass an exam set by your chosen college, then go up for an interview, then you had to get 2 E grades at A level.

SheWranglesRugRats · 27/05/2020 17:16

Fuck me but he is shit.

bobtrain · 27/05/2020 17:17

No I didn't think up the restrictions but if anyone bothers the read the gov.net site for advice it tells you that in difficult situations you can arrange for childcare. D.C. may not have used his brain to good effect BUT in the grand scheme of the covid issue it is a very minor point . I would rather the media stopped the bullying tactics and report accurate facts and not fiction. The WHO list eye issues on the list of symptoms yet D.C. was being derided live on TV by someone who should get their full facts in order before saying that it was a stupid reason to quote regarding possible driving problems.

tobee · 27/05/2020 17:22

I think it's maybe the issue of driving to test your eyesight that is the main issue here.

SophieB100 · 27/05/2020 17:22

Does the WHO advice recommend a 60 mile round trip to test your eyesight?
Regardless of eye issue and Covid, he told us, live on TV, that he went on a trip, with his family, to test his eyesight. What a lame excuse. On his wife's birthday.

If he had stayed at home as he told us to, none of this would be being discussed at all.
It's down to him, and him alone.
