Is Boris lying again

Today on one of the select committee meetings Boris said 1% of the schools have got impacted by Covid in UK.
Assuming 35000 schools in UK, this equals 350 schools.
Mayor of Manchester today says 120 schools in Manchester have been impacted.
That leaves 230 schools rest of UK.
Are we being taken as mugs again.
Why are we not given this information.

Boris lying? Never 🤣

It's not even possible to measure it. My department alone has had three teachers absent because their children have symptoms and can't get tests. That's one department in a secondary. I imagine most schools are impacted in some way.

I thought lying was a pre-requisite before becoming a P.M.?

The80sweregreat · 16/09/2020 19:29

He has awards for lying I'm sure of it.
' best lying award goes to ..'

MadinMarch · 16/09/2020 19:29

He'll go down in history as the worst PM ever and most inept and scandalous for so many reasons including the most unneccesary deaths from Covid. Truly depressing when we need a good leader at this time in particular.

@Fallenmadonnawiththebigboobies

Is his mouth moving?
Exactly what I was going to say Smile
lunar1 · 16/09/2020 19:35

He's probably technically not lying, you can't have a positive case if you can't get a test! 🤦🏻‍♀️

@BadBanana

I’m not even sure his real name is ‘Boris’.
It isn't!
Howslifenow · 16/09/2020 19:39

These are all schools with a positive Covid case. So the real number is much higher due to non availability of tests

His real name is lump of lard

By the way OP you’ve got your ‘Is’ in your title in the wrong place - it should be after ‘Boris’ not before. 😉
You’re welcome

Well I work in a high school in Manchester with students tested positive and positive at my child’s school. In fact my son awaiting results as very poorly.

Staffy1 · 16/09/2020 19:51

Almost definitely.

Wow. This made me chuckle.

Change ‘again’ to ‘still’ and yes, of course he is.

NoMoreReluctantCustodians · 16/09/2020 20:09

I haven't even read the OP and I know it's a resounding yes. He was born lying. He's a lying little shit all of the time.

Yes

StoneofDestiny · 16/09/2020 20:15

If he is breathing, he is lying.

Iwantacookie · 16/09/2020 20:17

Easy way to tell if Boris is lying. Are his lips moving? If yes he is lying hth

MorganKitten · 16/09/2020 20:30

When hasn’t he lied?

Facelikearustytractor · 16/09/2020 20:41

I thought it was a given he was lying. Infact I thought it was one of those thread titles that got posted too early or missed a word out as there really is no need to ask if he is lying. I thought you were meant to say "Is Boris lying next to his mistress again". The answer to that one is a yes too.

QueenofLouisiana · 16/09/2020 20:43

Was this the same select committee meeting where he said that child to adult transmission of the virus is a big problem. (Am paraphrasing, but that’s the gist). He’s been claiming it isn’t an issue as his justification for opening school normally; now it’s a problem in order to justify his Rule of 6.

He lied so often, he can’t keep track and is contradicting himself more and more.

Averyyounggrandmaofsix · 16/09/2020 20:45

Damn too late to the party, all the good phrases have gone!

BigChocFrenzy · 16/09/2020 20:48

So long as he's still got a pulse, he'll be lying

Hoppinggreen · 16/09/2020 20:49

Are. His lips moving?
If so then yes he is

BigChocFrenzy · 16/09/2020 20:50

Maybe too, he didn't undertand what he was told about schools
he obviously doesn't understand what he signs
