We're in tier 4. Not sure how much more stricter the rules can be?
Dont leave the house at all and MN zealots will put together a ration parcel to be delivered to you -including dry bread 3 tsp milk and "a massive salad"

Boris lost his comb again, I see.

@Gobacktothe90s

Boris hair!
I know, wtf?
HarveySchlumpfenburger · 21/12/2020 17:10

He sounds quite upbeat, which probably means we are screwed.

nevernotstruggling · 21/12/2020 17:10

Looks like his hair is comibg out in chunks

Rockpooler · 21/12/2020 17:10

What must people think of us.

Even the reporter on the scene refuted that

Has he combed his hair? I'm not sure as I need new glasses but it looks a bit tidier to me. It must be serious if it warrants hair being combed.

@PandemicPavolova

Whatever you think of Boris, I wouldn't want his job right now.

I bet JC is laughing his head off and being washed by deep waves of utter relief. What a time to be a PM! He thought he would ride to a beautiful brexit exit, on the crest of the nations jubilation.
He's up to his neck in sinking sand, flaying around in covid, devastation, crumbling economy, now ports closed ShockShock he's even had his own dose of covid and ended up in icu....

His moment of glory Couldn't be further than what he ever envisaged!

Indeed. Macbeth describes his intended murder of Duncan as a 'poisoned chalice'; Johnson's Pmship is the equivalent. He got what he asked for.

ALAS

AaronPurr · 21/12/2020 17:12

There's the alas!! Grin

BonnieDundee · 21/12/2020 17:12

Fuck sake. His hair. I'd hope no one in my house would let me go to the corner shop looking like that. Let alone on national TV

Purplethrow · 21/12/2020 17:12

Alas !

Circumlocutious · 21/12/2020 17:12

'British supermarkets are robuuuuuuubhjggjst'

As predicted, the moment at which the nation panics and heads to the shops.

Jeez, you DEF need new glasses!!!! It's a fucking mess.
HarveySchlumpfenburger · 21/12/2020 17:12

Alas. Drink.

“Swift and decisive action” on the new strain?

They’ve known about this since fucking September Angry

MamaAffrika · 21/12/2020 17:12

"Everything is under control, we are fabulous and are prepared for this because we are strong and robust. Nothing to see here, we took prompt and decisive action. Our friends around the world have nothing to worry about"

ancientgran · 21/12/2020 17:13

Looks like his hair is comibg out in chunks Oh is that why it looks a bit tidier to me. I must go to the opticians in January, the world is a bit of a blur. Then again maybe the world being a blur is a good thing at the moment.

Otherplans · 21/12/2020 17:13

I'm already shielding. Do I need to hide in the cellar.

RelightMyPfizer · 21/12/2020 17:13

Nobody likes us
Everybody hates us

Going down the garden to eat worms

@Purplethrow

Alas !
Soon as he said that I knew we were fucked.
