Come the fuck on Boris.

[Bluewavescrashing]

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

We have champagne here because why the fuck not? I'll be really annoyed if it clashes with In the Night Garden though. Not sure DS will go off to sleep if he's had BoJo rather than iggle piggle before bed.

While we’re all waiting with glasses in hand, lets raise them in memory of Sean Connery 🍷RIP.

This made me chortle

I'd hoped to spend Halloween evening watching spooky movies but I suppose this is equally scary!

Prob because the rugby is on and a lot are watching that and won't switch over
Although if your watching the rugby switching over may be preferable

They're probably sat in pumpkin outfits drawing lockdown rules out of a witches hat, pissed.

@LivinLaVidaLoki

Maybe he's having issues with a troublesome poo.

Teeheehee! I remember saying that on here when Dominic Cummings was keeping us all waiting. Stress belly!

Sandune hear, hear. to Sir Sean

@CharlottesComplicatedWeb

Stupid is as stupid does.

A month ago, coulda done the lockdown. Half term now over... disastrous figures again... now we lockdown. Ffs Boris. Make a decision. Useless. Utterly useless.

YES!!!

Endless delay about announcements (that are always leaked anyway) is just SO unprofessional. He holds us in utter contempt, doesn't he?

@LivinLaVidaLoki

Maybe he's having issues with a troublesome poo.

lol, his own or the baby’s?

Peston tweeted all the leaked details at 3.34 if you want to see what he will be saying

Or maybe witches outfits, drawing lots out of a pumpkin

It is so arrogant to keep people waiting like this.
Unless he is writing his resignation letter......

@vera99 he seems like a lovely bloke! Prob counting down to retirement.

@Cwenthryth cheers! 🍷Hope you feel much better soon x i think tonight is not a night to be sober!

Sorry for the rant but the incompetence and dishonesty gives me the rage.

Slightly fed up of the 'experts' in the media telling us what Boris is going to say.

Raging that we have no functioning test and trace system. It ought to be able to identify situations of high spread, at least at County level. No honesty about educational settings. They ought to have this bloody data

I was saying this last night. Why do we not know where the biggest case transmissions are happening (other than university halls of residence)? When we do testing, why are we not asking - is the test random, is the test because of a contact, because of symptoms and because of what symptoms? Surely this data would be easy to collect when people book their test?

I reckon they deliberately leaked in order to get a feel for public opinion and are now rowing it out with the teachers unions. There's no point doing a half arsed lockdown and keeping the schools open, it won't work. It isn't masked adults catching this in bnq. It's the schools opening that caused the rise and schools closing that will bring it under control again.

@ssd

You lot are terrible, give the man time to sober up.

That’s the only thing that’s made me laugh all day

BBC chap saying around 6.30ish maybe, perhaps, and he can barely disguise his wish to laugh at the ridiculousness of it all

Yeh I'm bored now and I wanted to throw something at the TV when the NEU chap was wittering on about closing schools. NO!!!

I second the irritation over this lockdown not happening over half term and the stupid leaks. Just make a decision and announce it! We don't need softening up first.

Reliably informed that he's delayed at Tennents HQ with a bunch of his mates, struggling to turn on the beer taps and distribute the pint glasses ...

To Sir Sean. As if today wasn't bad enough.
Where's a whiskey emoji when you need one?!

He's keeping the peasents waiting

Bloody hell - after 6.30pm! I told the kids we would watch Goosebumps for Halloween at 6.

If we were in the Soviet Union, they wouldn’t have had all these talking heads, they would have just played recordings of Swan Lake on repeat.
