As with Boris Johnson, Matt Hancock, Chris Whitty etc, wish him all the best.

Self-isolating after showing symptoms I should say

Blimey. They're dropping like flies.

SaulBerenson · 30/03/2020 11:17

I genuinely do wish him well but this tweet did make me laugh.

Oh god...I can't be hypocritical. I think he is a complete twat and I laughed.

AnneLovesGilbert · 30/03/2020 11:23

But he ran away so fast! Grin

NoMorePoliticsPlease · 30/03/2020 11:23

Hmm he thinks highly of you

Rocketmam · 30/03/2020 11:24

Ha!

Self isolating in his bunker!

Frownette · 30/03/2020 11:31

Oh I'd love to read a gigantic blog post! I think he's really shady but wish him the best.

It does seem a bit ironic that the people lecturing us have succumbed. Still, guess it could happen to any one of us.

Zombiemum1946 · 30/03/2020 11:34

He ran out the door like a scalded cat. Hilarious.

MutatedCat · 30/03/2020 11:46

Is he the one who wanted us to get herd immunity and kill the vulnerable off? Hahaha aint Karma a bitch!

YangShanPo · 30/03/2020 11:48

mutatedcat No. 10 denied he said that of course.

Given that MN now thinks you can give your mum the virus by waving up at her window, or pass it to the public by opening a country fence on the same day that someone else does, it seems a bit unfair to expect people who work in government and live in London to somehow evade the poisoned air.

bellinisurge · 30/03/2020 11:57

Through gritted teeth, I hope the fucking bastard is ok. And his family too.

nowmorethanever · 30/03/2020 11:58

True morris but, fairly or unfairly, I suspect BJ thought it wouldn’t happen to him. I’d be surprised if he was following all the guidelines properly.

Fartintheloft · 30/03/2020 11:58

I don’t wish it on anyone. But if the comments were true about elderly ( and I think they probably were) then serves him right. Not that it will make a difference to his personality!!!

YangShanPo · 30/03/2020 12:00

Is it immoral to wish him a good dose of the shits at least?

Sarahlou63 · 30/03/2020 12:01

Oh dear, how sad, never mind.

MoltoAgitato · 30/03/2020 12:07

Obviously I wish him a speedy recovery but wouldn’t it be wonderful if everyone forgot all about him in the next 14 days?

Redcrayons · 30/03/2020 12:14

I guess Johnson wasn’t bothering with the hand washing and social distancing after all. What a shocker

Anyone know what the running out of Number 10 was all about?

Cheeryandmerry · 30/03/2020 12:14

I don’t wish illness on anyone, but it would be brilliant if he self isolated for a really really long time.

AGoodPodcastAndANiceCupOfTea · 30/03/2020 12:35

@Redcrayons Apparently despite advocating for widespread catching amongst the public in order to build up herd immunity he didn't mean that he expected to catch it and had been taking all kinds of measures to keep himself safe. He is a genuinely terrible human being who has no care for the poor, the old and the vulnerable and given that he saw my parents as dispensable for the greater good of society then I don't have any sympathy for him whatsoever and I hope that he is miserable. Anyone advocating for the herd immunity theory deserves to get covid-19 so that they truly understand the reality of their plan. And for the pp who said that 'I expect he thinks highly of you' I know he'd hate me - I'm a fat feminist with liberal/socialist leanings who definitely does not want to shag him so I'm pretty certain he'd hate everything about me! I can live with that.

Given he's the "designated survivor" it's a bit dim that they weren't taking steps to keep parts of the government separated from others isn't it?
