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?

@GlacindaTheTroll 🤣😂🤣😂
They are also drawing straws for who has to do the Sunday media round. Rishi's telling Matt - you chose this - it's your problem.
Priti Patel is being allowed to join the inner circle to hold the whiteboard pen for the brainstorming session.

What word is "better" than Firestorm or Circuit Breaker? Hmm

Fuck up
JesusInTheCabbageVan · 31/10/2020 14:38

@TicTacTwo if you think it'll be a word, you haven't been paying attention.

It'll be a snappy three- line slogan.Grin

"Sorry chaps.
Grounded again.
Except you, Dominic, obviously."

He's locked himself away in Churchill's secret bunker, watching the films Sky usually put on "True Chrismas" for inspiration for his Save Christmas Action Plan.

It'll only be a bonus if he comes up with a slogan too, but can't expect too much.

CherryValanc · 31/10/2020 14:59

I can see why he's been down there so long. Three word slogans are hard!!

"Stay in, Chrismas win"
"Don't go out, Santa's needs stout"
"Stay in now for a festive wow"

All more than three words.Sad

RishiMcRichface · 31/10/2020 15:02

When I said yesterday Boris would be back to announce the pre Xmas lockdown I didn't expect him so soon!

CherryValanc · 31/10/2020 15:02

oh messed up there. Was supposed to be Santa needs stout.

I had wrtten "Don't go out, Santa's about" but felt it read more as a safety warning against Santa/Father Christmas.

SOS : Save our Santa.

@the80sweregreat

SOS : Save our Santa.
Not bad.

I was trying to get in the whole stay apart now to save Christmas but I just think it's too hard for three words

@grumplass

Make Christmas Great Again
That made me laugh, it covers several messages!!

I do like Mission Santa Saver. It's in the three words target too

the80sweregreat · 31/10/2020 16:41

I love ' Fuck up ' ' 😃

The whole ' saving Christmas' thing will be rammed home no doubt.
It's a carrot (as others have said on here)
Don't comply and you won't see your family.

the80sweregreat · 31/10/2020 17:03

They don't need him really : already a list on bbc news. Schools and universities open. Everything else shut , mostly :(
A month long one.

nancy75 · 31/10/2020 17:10

I thought he was on telly at 5?
Are they trying to coax him out of the fridge as we speak?

CherryValanc · 31/10/2020 17:17

Cant find the key to the bunker. Or he's watching the rugby.

nancy75 · 31/10/2020 17:20

I forgot about the rugby, that will explain it. They just went to a shot of Downing Street, looks like they’ve turned all the lights off & gone out the back door

I thought that! I reckon they've got lost doing trick or treating on Downing Street...
CherryValanc · 31/10/2020 17:43

If he's out at 6.30 we know that's what he was doing.
