Come the fuck on Boris.

Leaving the nation hanging around for his words of wisdom is not going to boost his popularity.

Of course there are loads in hospital with covid. Patients are catching it in hospital.

How many are being admitted FOR covid.

Statistics? How have they ever persuaded anyone? What a bizarre way to preset this!

They could have done this in one paragraph: "cases increasing, deaths not as high but will go up, hospitals struggling, all ages affected. And now to the prime minister"

My cat just walked into the room, looked up at the telly, and then projectile vomited across the floor.

About sums up the mood I think.

I quite agree JustMuddling

Give us the headlines, THEN the detail.

It's all a bit confusing. Those hospital names couldn't have been smaller if they tried.

God this is boring. I don't even live in England so I am not that invested. I'm just waiting for Strictly to start.

@secretskillrelationships

I'm not watching, can't face it, so relying on you lot to give me the highlights. I'm guessing it'll be like last time, no detail and constantly changing.

@Justmuddlingalong this is why I always take jelly babies in my bag to weddings. And why I'm stealing sweets from the kids now...

More slides from Sir Patrick

Valence sounds rattled.

They were late because someone had a meltdown involving excel!

It doesn't help that the bbc breaking news banner takes up half the graph

@JovialNickname

Anyone else think that Whitty sounds quite shaken?

Yes, shaky. I think he’s been arguing and hasn’t calmed down yet.

They were getting their powerpoints ready

Showing those slides is not the way to tell a nation its news.

Sorry Sir Patrick. He sounds a bit upset.

"Consensus".

Names then.

They like their charts 😂😂😂 and I thought the Irish gov were arses.....maybe they're hoping to bore everyone to sleep before giving the news

[quote housemdwaswrong]@secretskillrelationships the updating is much more efficient here than on BBC website.[/quote]
I know! Plus you get intelligent commentary on the performance with a side order of humour. Only way I can face it at the moment as body has given up and taken me out with a migraine.

There we go they've used the word 'grim'.

All this doom and gloom predictions are so transparent. Let's say how awful its going to be so they'll accept lockdown.

God this is dull, FFS. We want to know what we can & cant do, need little persuading on the why. Or surely that can follow?

More complex charts. Lots of lines and writing.

Oh my days this is boring as fuck!
