I think grant shapps is a synth/android.

PicsInRed · 21/12/2020 17:21

He knows about the alas and the hair, he knows that it makes him familiar in a "naughty younger brother" sort of way - the wayward family member you forgive the foibles of. It's intentional. He is meta.

...and again ...ALAS 😂😂😂

Does Boris have Uncombable Hair Syndrome? This is a serious question.

HarveySchlumpfenburger · 21/12/2020 17:21

Happy Birthday Emmanuel.

SabrinaTheMiddleAgedBitch · 21/12/2020 17:21

@willsantausesantatize Yes! I can't put my finger on it but he makes me feel weirdly uncomfortable

"Alas! It's his (macron's) birthday by the way, "

@Originalyellowbelly

If the lorries have reduced from 500 to 170 where have they gone? Are they all locked up in a car park?
Swimming home

Or a Dunkirk rescue in reverse?
France are sending a flotilla of boats for them

Rockpooler · 21/12/2020 17:22

Alas - it is all going to end up exactly as i wanted it to go - i can blame the eu.

Beebityboo · 21/12/2020 17:22

"It's his birthday by the way" wtf

summerstorms · 21/12/2020 17:22

@Originalyellowbelly

This is all rather jolly hockey sticks isn't it!

WrongKindOfFace · 21/12/2020 17:22

What a load of utter wankery about brexit.

its ok everyone hes holding a conference to tell us everything is fine

@willsantausesantatize

Grant Shapps is an odd one. He seems too smooth and strangely detached from proceedings. I can't explain what it is that concerns me about him.
Yes I thought this too. He keeps glancing at Boris whenever he's talking, instead of speaking to the cameras. It's very weird, like he's quite startled and constantly checking that he's sticking to the script correctly.

@SixesAndEights

"Kent Resilience Forum"
I might be missing something, but this is just the county group of emergency planners from all local emergency services organisations that every county is mandated to have isn't it? So they do the local planning for likely local disruptions: ports, power stations, bridges etc?
RelightMyPfizer · 21/12/2020 17:23

The hair answer is simple

He is using baby shampoo (Johnsons)-every parent knows it makes you look like a bear

SixesAndEights · 21/12/2020 17:23

I think the lorries are now on that airfield, from what I could gather from his ramblings. Could be wrong, though.

GreenlandTheMovie · 21/12/2020 17:23

Oh, bullish talk of prospering under WTO terms and Shapps' mention of lack of chaos at Dover due to preparation for No Deal - Brexit negotiations are going down to the wire and fishing isn't up for negotiation.

Boris is playing hardball with the French, who are playing games.

@Aquamarine1029

Does Boris have Uncombable Hair Syndrome? This is a serious question.
Its like a toddlers hair that hasn't got a natural parting or "lie" yet and just sits there.
PicsInRed · 21/12/2020 17:24

@Aquamarine1029

Does Boris have Uncombable Hair Syndrome? This is a serious question.
I wondered the same thing when he came out. It does usually come with platinum hair doesn't it?

@Nacreous

Just thought it sounded a tad Dad's Army!!!!

HarveySchlumpfenburger · 21/12/2020 17:24

We’re prepared for this because we were planning to deliberately screw up our trading ports anyway. Thanks for that Grant.
