Where the hell is Boris?

London has been in tier 2 for two weeks today, rumors of move to tier 3.

Numerous other areas moving into tier 2 or 3.

Furlough ending tomorrow.

Surely there should have been some kind of update or announcement from this sorry excuse for a government?

He'll be back to announce the pre Christmas lockdown.

He's shitting himself, because if Biden wins the election he is screwed.

Like that batman and robin only fools and horses episode. Boris and gove are about to turn up to a black tie event in fancy dress. They are about to be humiliated.

He's probably writing his resignation letter.

@Newjez When If Boris resigns surely it'll only be Gove that'll be stupid enough to put his head above the parapet this time?

@nancy75

If rumours about the violin player are true I’d guess he’s fiddling while Rome burns...

Is he dipping his wick elsewhere yet again?

VettiyaIruken rumours have been going around for a while, no idea if it’s true but going on past form...

[quote Catmads]@nancy75 I understand your point totally Grin but if London does move to tier 3 it would be nice to have a bit of notice this time so we sort things out at work rather than just suddenly being closed down...[/quote]
You'll probably get a couple of days notice like the rest of us did when our areas moved into Tier 3.

I'm not sure why London needs to go into tier 3 - compared with places already in tier 3 cases per 100k are so much lower. Almost all boroughs are

It's half term and he's got a few kids to get round, so he's no doubt a bit tied up.

I've been wondering the same about a certain BBC news correspondent too.....

Lk was on Twitter earlier I think. She seems to be choosing her words carefully at the moment.

He causes less damage when he's not around - I'm enjoying the break from wondering what the floppy haired fuckwit is going to come out with next.

@bubblebubblebubbletrouble I don't understand it either. It was Sadiq Khan that was pushing for London to go together into tier 2 although at the time two weeks ago cases were still relatively low in South London.

I can only assume once again we don't know the full facts.

What’s the LK rumour based on, apart from her fawning?

@DominaShantotto Very true. I've gone from being annoyed by his absence to grateful in the last couple of hours!

I think they are saying London is a concern due to the high R rate reported to be around 2.9

Who is LK?
There’s a recent video of Boris and Carrie thanking the NHS.

The only LK I can think of all of a sudden is Liz Kendall, who I'm going to assume he isn't banging.

Ohhhhhh. Well not that I'd know, but to me the most likely explanation seems to be that she's just not a very good journalist.
