Come the fuck on Boris.

[Bluewavescrashing]

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

He needs to get to the point, the dilly dally is unbearable

"We have got to be humble in the face of nature"

Fuck off

U-turn!

yawns JUST GET ON WITH IT

His face is really distracting. Proper dodgy lighting

The absolute waffle.

Boris, you needed to look at those graphs, have them interpreted to you, then deliver The Message to us. Not show your workings.

You over-estimate a Brexit voting populace.

@Cwenthryth

He does look really pale. He’s dithering as well. He knows he’s fucked up.

He also clearly doesn’t understand any of those charts at all!

Absolutely

The way he just summed up those graphs was awful

But chronic underfunding of the NHS and having one of the lowest bed capacities must surely be significant.

its embarassing. I can't stand him but my toes are curling.

Thursday until December, stay at home except for:

• education
• work of not possible to work from home
• essential shopping
• care
• escaping harm
• support bubbles
• children moving between separated households

Restaurants, non-essential shops closed. Takeaways open.

Shielding not happening.

Furlough extended through to December.

I missed what was said about nurseries

Exercise also allowed.

Ah, interesting, click & collect still allowed for non-essential shops. That’s actually a good call.

oh, he just said it again

Child care, school, universities will all remain open. Wonder if grandparents can still provide child care. And what about clinically vulnerable children?

Childcare and early years to continue @Pertella

So it's a mini lockdown of sorts.

Schools, nurseries and universities stay open.

@pertella Early years staying open

Absolutely
The way he just summed up those graphs was awful

Most normal countries have the politicians say the politics bit and then scientists appear separately at a different time to talk about the charts, statistics, etc

Of course the Tories don’t do that as they can try to use the scientists to deflect blame. “No choice! We’re listening to THE SCIENCE. See! Look at this SCIENTIST standing right next to me. We are blameless in all of it. It’s just THE SCIENCE.”.

So schools open? Exercise allowed?

No mention of the borders and travel, surprise, surprise.

What the fuck is a "reasonable worst case scenario?" as just mention by BloJo - Either you have a worst case scenario (This is as bad as we can imaginet') or you have wishful thinking and are fudging and hoping piled in there somewhere. If they've been working on the basis of a 'worst case scenario' that has been wished into being less drastic than it is then no wonder we're all fucked.

Yes
