Hancock has said "We have been very clear" twice. If he says it again, I'm going to shout "House!"

Also looking out for 'Guided by the science' and 'The PM is working hard...'

Any more?

Next week is a bank holiday.
Not that anyone will notice : (
It might also herald a new dawn of a ' new plan' ! Let's hope so!

I think Chris Witty is very good. He certainly makes Boris look even less likely that he is the right person to be in charge.

Fail to plan plan to fail - poor Boris he dreamt of being PM and now he looks haunted by achieving his dream. Never mind in a few minutes he will be able to change babbies nappy to take his mind off all of this.

' blinded by the light' is a great song. I do believe Bruce Springsteen wrote it and Manfred Man did a version.
(' blinded by the bullshit' was started by Mr Johnson. )
The experts seem happier talking about the vaccine trials etc.

Perfect Mockers! Grin

No questions from Lad Bible since Easter. That was Priti Patel’s car crash briefing day.

I phased out for a bit when all I was hearing was a load of Rs.

vera99 · 30/04/2020 17:51

No, Boris, it's not "what the UK has done". You made the decisions. You. You. You. Don't blame anyone else for the inaction that has led to tens of thousands of deaths.

The80sweregreat · 30/04/2020 17:51

He was meant to be the Brexit king ; bringing it home to the masses. Heralding a new look and a new way forward ( whatever your view on this and so on)
Instead it's this awful pandemic and an economy that will take years to steady or look anything like it was before.
He must be gutted. We're all gutted . It's grim.

There is a cover versions thread elsewhere.

Right now we have our first cover version PM, a pub-rock Churchill.

Ah 'pub'. A thing from the pre Rsy days.

WhiteChocTwix · 30/04/2020 17:57

Love the comedy of Chris Whitty reminding BJ there was a 2nd ques at the end 😀

vera99 · 30/04/2020 17:57

Thanks everybody same time same place new balls tmrw...

The80sweregreat · 30/04/2020 17:58

I call it ' B C'
..
Before corona! When we could go out and do things.
Anyway, no real plan but I didn't expect it really to be honest. Just briefing bingo.
People have faith in Boris. Not me , but his all we have for now...

nauticant · 30/04/2020 17:58

Meanwhile, behind the scenes at No.10

"How do you think it went?"
"Masterful, PM", "You smashed it", "Churchillian", "A grateful country behind you all the way" ...

The80sweregreat · 30/04/2020 18:00

Classic Dom will ruffle his locks ( from a 2m distance) and give him a big lollipop!
Dom always gets anxious around 5pm.

vera99 · 30/04/2020 18:01

"Ok Dom, I'm off for the evening. You're in charge - steady as she goes and all that ...pip pip "

The80sweregreat · 30/04/2020 18:03

'Over to you Dom : I think it went ok.. '
' no ' ? Oh well , always next time. When you can give me the outline of the new plans! Thanks mate!

Lostvoiced · 30/04/2020 18:04

Take a drink every time they congratulate themselves and you'll be too bladdered to notice how much they've fucked the country. Hmm

Seriously if the tories get in again after this I'm giving up.

The80sweregreat · 30/04/2020 18:05

Tunnels and mountains and sunlit plains.,
He makes coronavirus sound like bloody Austria!

The80sweregreat · 30/04/2020 18:07

Lostvoice, I hear you.
Sad thing is people will vote for them again.
