Someone please drop kick the prick with the horn

Mrskeats · 25/05/2020 16:37

Is he going to announce he's going to sack Boris?

B1rdbra1n · 25/05/2020 16:38

he's looking (unsurprisingly) rattled by the honking
I'm not sure if I buy it but at least he is giving us the courtesy of a detailed explanation, politely spoken and looking more presentable

HeIenaDove · 25/05/2020 16:39

He left because he felt his home had become a target? Did he report it to the police If so there should be a report filed somewhere.

So, sister two grown nieces. Why couldn’t one of them go to London (as allowed) instead of two sick people travelling.
Neat absolution of boris.

Experimenopause · 25/05/2020 16:40

So regulations allowed them an exception. Confused Really? How come all of the rest of us are holding our jobs with full-time childcare?

twinnywinny14 · 25/05/2020 16:41

He travelled to the hospital as there were no other options- what about the family he moved near to for support??

JimMaxwellantheshippingforcast · 25/05/2020 16:41

I thought there was family in London who offered to help?

vera99 · 25/05/2020 16:42

Oh and he tried to get a taxi and infect a taxi driver too

HeIenaDove · 25/05/2020 16:43

If feeling sick he shouldnt be trying to drive short distances just to see if he could.

Cherryghost · 25/05/2020 16:44

Shouted conversations why not use a phone??..

BirdieFriendReturns · 25/05/2020 16:44

How does he remember this all in such great detail?

Papyrus · 25/05/2020 16:44

So he returned to work after someone in his household had covid symptoms??

TheDrsDocMartens · 25/05/2020 16:44

Child couldn’t do short journey without toilet

Experimenopause · 25/05/2020 16:44

Someone needs to take the shovel off of him ASAP! Hmm Confused

We went out to "test" that I could drive and just happened to end up near a castle.

Utter bullshit

StealthPolarBear · 25/05/2020 16:45

It was his eyesight. So driving was even more unnerving.
Here we go, the non apology.

TheDrsDocMartens · 25/05/2020 16:46

He took I’ll conveniently on arrival & not before

HeIenaDove · 25/05/2020 16:46

Exactly Child couldnt do short journey without needing the loo but managed a long journey without needing it.

mooffie · 25/05/2020 16:46

surprised that the child being hospitalised didn't come out earlier.

and he was near the castle!

StealthPolarBear · 25/05/2020 16:46

A short journey would have been to sainsburys and back

Experimenopause · 25/05/2020 16:46

I think I finally understand now. He did this on purpose so he has a ready-made excuse of getting the fuck outta there when the proverbial hits the fan. In recent history, we call this a Cameron move. That background sound is really just him whistling.

StealthPolarBear · 25/05/2020 16:47

Oh dear, he and PM were too ill to remember exabrly what they said. Yet he remembers the period when he was doggo in detail.

SquishySquirmy · 25/05/2020 16:47

Load of shit.
