Do we think this will be a vaccine update, a change to rules or just waffle?

This is sounding very realistic (hearteningly so). I am still inclined to open a bottle of something nice tonight Grin

I wonder if Boris looks to his right and gets flashbacks to his service in WWI?

HarveySchlumpfenburger · 09/11/2020 17:30

They’ll be released the day before...

I don't know if it's changed but 2 week isolation before going home was being put forwards as a suggestion for managing it.

Bet the CMO xmas parties are a hoot once they aren't in front of the cameras.

I'm a bit hearing impaired and didn't catch the first public question. Not did the subtitler!

All I heard was the answer.

More sport mentioning

@Madcats

The trouble is, when I see a brigadier and a PM at podiums, I keep getting flashbacks to old Dr Who storylines.

I'd be ridiculously happy if they can sort university testing by next term.

😆

Don't get your hopes up.
Stay depressed.

@PurpleDaisies

Yes. Get it right.
SpookyNoise · 09/11/2020 17:33

Enthusiasm? Where?

JamieLeeCurtains · 09/11/2020 17:33

Why hasn't the Brigadier got a brigadier's stick? He may as well turn this into a Punch and Judy show because it bloody looks and sounds like one.

BonnieDundee · 09/11/2020 17:33

I think Boris is working up to "Hands Face Space"

SpookyNoise · 09/11/2020 17:34

He’s blustering

tootyfruitypickle · 09/11/2020 17:34

I’m understanding very clearly now why Churchill got voted out after the war. People just have enough of gloom and want a new , positive leader. Roll on next election.

JamieLeeCurtains · 09/11/2020 17:34
