Some of his phrasing is so hilariously out of place, it's like a parody of a PM.

hamstersarse · 22/09/2020 20:07

Why has no one realised you can’t suppress a virus?!!!

W3dontdoduvets · 22/09/2020 20:07

He had to announce it first to parliament earlier today, so nothing we don’t already know.

frankie001 · 22/09/2020 20:07

No Churchill is he?

MaxinesTaxi · 22/09/2020 20:07

No gratitude to the public for generously giving the govt more time to get their shit together which they have wasted then?

EmmaGrundyForPM · 22/09/2020 20:07

Why is the picture in the background on its side?

Toilenstripes · 22/09/2020 20:07

I think he’s come across better than he has in a long time. He certainly looks better.

Namenic · 22/09/2020 20:07

Singapore did a good lockdown too with a population density higher than uk

ChavvySexPond · 22/09/2020 20:08

He said the word "collective" and didn't burst into flames. Grin

Cocklepops · 22/09/2020 20:08

He said he’s relying on the common sense of the population.

That’s us fucked then.

Jilljams · 22/09/2020 20:08

That stitch in time line. Do you think they’ve focused group that? He’s got a nerve to say about people not following the rules considering Cummings.

ragged · 22/09/2020 20:08

discipline... resolve? Meh. More like endure & keep a low profile.

Ickabog · 22/09/2020 20:08

It's so fustating hearing him waffle and blather on. He needs to be direct and cleaerly explain the new measures.

Ickabog · 22/09/2020 20:09

Wait is that it? he didn't actually explain anything Confused

FatGirlShrinking · 22/09/2020 20:10

Oh my god my eyes actually hurt from all the eye rolling. I cannot listen to that man talk, he is just unbearable.

Winederlust · 22/09/2020 20:10

Yes Boris, let's all put our lives on hold indefinitely for hopes and fucking dreams HmmAngry

Marisishidinginmyattic · 22/09/2020 20:10

Tests within minutes being the dream 😂 tests within days or actually at all would be better right now...

Figgygal · 22/09/2020 20:10

I can’t stand the bloke and he has no credibility after the Cummings debacle but people need to listen if we want this to stop escalating

Jilljams · 22/09/2020 20:10

It wasn’t even a live recording, recorded it earlier today

PlugUgly1980 · 22/09/2020 20:10

Clearly pre recorded before he'd even got the rules agreed! No mention of what they even are!

frozendaisy · 22/09/2020 20:10

@Rinoachicken

Oh fuck he’s behind the desk again
Grin. 2m plus plus from camera man

That was pretty good.

Not too many random pauses and waffle.

Short and firmly expressed.

Let's hope it helps.

GlendaSugarbeanIsJudgingYou · 22/09/2020 20:11

I felt like I was watching a Cbbc bedtime story featuring BJ.

What was the point in that exactly?

Loveacuppa · 22/09/2020 20:11

Boris has the air of how I imagine the PM in Harry Potter would be when the Ministry rock up to tell him about the existence of dangerous wizards

Iwantacookie · 22/09/2020 20:11

I dont see the point of him addressing us all.
