Is it normal for me to be so angry about this?

Saladmakesmesad · 24/05/2020 17:36

Oh ffs the longest question ever.

Belindabelle · 24/05/2020 17:36

How were you going to get there CoachBombay

I want to see this guidance dated on a public website, not some dodgy fucking dossier. The last time I was this furious at being treated like a prick was the Gulf War WOMD.

Roussette · 24/05/2020 17:36

Boris does not like being questioned. This is a farce. He is now saying the incessant banners, information on you.gov, banging on at every single press briefing.. is not what we heard.

AlecTrevelyan006 · 24/05/2020 17:36

He's just making it up now

complete and utter CNT

Me and my partner did both get it. With two small children it was scary. I made sure we had cereal and milk to feed themselves if needed. The first one of us that got it self isolated from the rest as was the advice until it was obvious we both had it. The idea that we were the irresponsible ones by not taking it to our elderly parents hours away is really outrageous.

MarshaBradyo · 24/05/2020 17:37

Yes agree ask a one liner. Quote the guidance that says it’s ok.

...If I could say something about PPE.....

I've never been so angry about anything in politics in my life. It's a culmination of everything they've done though. They have failed to protect our vulnerable in care homes, resulting in the deaths of thousands, but they'll protect one bald little goblin because it suits their selfish agendas.

HipTightOnions · 24/05/2020 17:37

There’s no point in him telling us anything about schools, PPE... Who will believe it?

MockersxxxxxxxSocialDistancing · 24/05/2020 17:37

Kick that ball into the corner and keep it there.

Mrsfussypants1 · 24/05/2020 17:38

Oh gosh, im rather enjoying all the Cummings questions being fired at Slow Loris. He hasn't a clue how to respond without stuttering through the same driviling points. Who elected this man? Spit in the face for the local police, residents and the entire country.

1forsorrow · 24/05/2020 17:38

That's all folks

MockersxxxxxxxSocialDistancing · 24/05/2020 17:38

Running away......

TopperSail · 24/05/2020 17:38

Ridiculous cheat.

From The Independent
In a speech delivered by the prime minister on 18 March, Boris Johnson warned of the risks of children coming into contact with older relatives.

“I also need to remind parents that, as we have already advised, children should not be left with older grandparents, or older relatives, who may be particularly vulnerable or fall into some vulnerable groups and I know that will be difficult too,” Mr Johnson said.

Splodge a family member walked down to the shop this morning and said it's plain pretty much everyone in sight has decided fuck it. Big change from the past few weeks.

My adult daughter said the same thing when she got back from her walk Michelle. Many more groups of people who obviously aren't a household. Both my husband and me would be classed as vulnerable and it makes it more difficult for us to go out and about. Might as well be a hermit.

OublietteBravo · 24/05/2020 17:38

So if you have Covid symptoms you are totally free to travel wherever you want to access suitable childcare. But if you are healthy and struggling to WFH whilst homeschooling/looking after your children you must stay put and muddle through without any kind of childcare. Because this is the best way to stop the virus spreading. Can they not hear how ridiculous this sounds?

EsmeShelby · 24/05/2020 17:38

Wondering if BJ actually knows the meaning of the word integrity. DC 's actions don't match the commonly accepted definition.

MockersxxxxxxxSocialDistancing · 24/05/2020 17:38

May not get good reviews in tomorrow's rags.

HipTightOnions · 24/05/2020 17:39

What an absolute DISGRACE.

itsgettingweird · 24/05/2020 17:39

I'm also fuming. And I'm usually quite relaxed and uninterested in politics and just do what I need to do in my life.

DuncinToffee · 24/05/2020 17:39

Why does he keep saying Cummings isolated for 14 days or more, he has just been speaking to him for hours so should know the exact amount of days.

MarshaBradyo · 24/05/2020 17:39

Hahaha I hate him right now.
