"putting their arms around people ..."

[PatriciaHolm]

...is clearly the new mandated Government phrase To Use. Johnson used it during the week with relation to care homes, Shapps has just used it with relation to jobs.

I think if any of the current govt tried to put their arms around me they would get a sharp knee to the nether regions.....

🤮

I've just heard that and all it did was annoy me. Not quite as bad at Matt Hancock attempted sound but yesterday though. Which was something about having a working plan and the plan is working.!

If they put their arms - or any other part of their anatomy - near me, they'll wake up in hospital. Bloody awful phrase - I wonder how much someone got paid to come up with that vomit-inducing soundbite.

Bit ironic / insensitive really considering most people can't hit others right now. Are they trying to seem caring / compassionate perhaps
