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

FFS we are meant to go on a Halloween walk around the neighbourhood looking at pictures of pumpkins in windows.

TBF the Dcs are slightly more interested in the adopt me Halloween update on roblox although DS1 has just shouted out 'What's happening with the lockdown??!!'.

(He's 10.)

I hate these bastards BUT to be fair, this isn’t how they expected to spend their Saturday.

When you’re the PM, that excuse doesn’t really wash. It’s not a 9-5 job

Bitbusyattheminute · 31/10/2020 18:12

I watched a programme with Dave grohl last night. He says they don't go on stage unless everyone is laughing and really up for it. Maybe that's it.

Boris should be replaced by Baked Potato.
ThornAmongstRoses · 31/10/2020 18:12

It’s such a mess - it feels like he hasn’t got any control over this and hasn’t got any clue what to do either.

Whirlwind14 · 31/10/2020 18:12

He’s having issues with his hair...

SorrelBlackbeak · 31/10/2020 18:12

Anyone want to bet on who leaked the prospect of another lockdown yesterday? My money's on Gove.

BackforGood · 31/10/2020 18:13

Reeta Chakrabati is doing a fab job on BBC....I feel sorry for her...she's already been on over an hour!

This ^
Fantastic ad-libbing for FAR TOO LONG.
What a professional.

Wonder if they are redrafting the speech... "Infamy! Infamy! They've all got it in for me!"[/quote]
Kenneth Williams was a legend. Such an expressive face.

@Topseyt

Has he taken baby Wilfred trick or treating?

He is an arse.

Perhaps Wilfred has done a poonami on him.
danni0509 · 31/10/2020 18:14

Getting their costumes ready 😂

Come the fuck on Boris.

Better be Thursday.
Hair, nails and MacBook repair on Wednesday.
I have the Donald Trump shield of immunity and so locking me down will have no impact at all to the spread of covid.

the80sweregreat · 31/10/2020 18:14

Reeta is one of my favorite news readers. So dignified and calm : a real pro.

@DownstairsMixUp

If the schools close its effectively fucked for most sen kids. My son has an ehcp and was pretty much left to his devices during the last one, he has fell behind so much because of the first one.
Yes. both of mine too. Even if they keep them open they've lost 6 months. Y11 and Y9. Appalling.
WitchesSpelleas · 31/10/2020 18:15

And in place of the advertised Press Conference, we now bring you a classic episode of 'EastEnders'.

Cwenthryth · 31/10/2020 18:15

BBC have given up and now rerunning it’s report on end of furlough that’s been in cycle all day already.

Gonna need another glass!

Phoenix21 · 31/10/2020 18:15

To be clear, I’m saying that I guess they expected to have more planning and prep time, Not that it’s unfair that they are ‘working’ on a sat.

As others have said those bastards should expect to be on 24hr call and J’son owes the country a good few hours anyway 🤨

NoisyBrain · 31/10/2020 18:17

@Bitbusyattheminute I watched that Dave Grohl thing too. I can just picture the cabinet now, necking whiskey and high five-ing..

LivinLaVidaLoki · 31/10/2020 18:17

I watched a programme with Dave grohl last night. He says they don't go on stage unless everyone is laughing and really up for it. Maybe that's it.
@Bitbusyattheminute Is that the one with Brian from ACDC? I watched that last night too. Really enjoyed it. Anyway, as you were.

@SpookyRhubarbYoghurt DS1 has just shouted out 'What's happening with the lockdown??!!'.(He's 10.)

Your DS sounds like a little legend, good question! 👍

Kids are wise beyond their years

AmmoniteMum · 31/10/2020 18:18

He’s waiting until the country are a few drinks in before speaking his unintelligible waffle

vera99 · 31/10/2020 18:19

Leaked pre-recorded version. Thanks Pesty ...

FiveFootTwoEyesOfBlue · 31/10/2020 18:19

He might be having very intense negotiations with leaders of Scotland, Wales and N Ireland. He might be trying to agree how to extend financial support to businesses forced to close and people laid off, whether to bring back furlough, etc, etc. I don't envy him.

WitchesSpelleas · 31/10/2020 18:20

Ah, they've gone with the Sean Connery obit. The way it's going they'll have time to show the entire Bond boxset before BoJo comes out.

LesLavandes · 31/10/2020 18:20

Oh do shut up you lot.

I think we know the general rules which we will be told soon enough.

Of course they are not watching the rugby, You sound ridiculous
