Patrick really wants to answer ‘no’ to that question about the tiers, doesn’t he

MutantNinjaCovid · 21/12/2020 17:28

London didn't want to lockdown

Now the journalists- all from London- want to lockdown the entire country

They didn't have the same views when Manchester locked down- no pleas to lockdown London then that I recall.

All this has done is create panic and chaos. Just look at Mumsnet today, thread after thread of people speculating all sorts about what Boris might announce. What an absolute arsehole he is, calling a super important emergency press conference to announce NOTHING. Angry

Well that's Tesco empty then, there'll be nothing on the shelves after Boris whipped everyone into a panic so he could play at being the good guy who tells us all to calm down. What a manipulative little prick.

The lorries are parked up all over place wherever they could and queuing on the M20. There is an airfield but it is some distance from Dover and lorries are all over the place trying to get there

@Aquamarine1029

Does Boris have Uncombable Hair Syndrome? This is a serious question.
Oh yes that’s a real thing isn’t it?

Although there were reports he deliberately ruffles it before public appearances, and he had very smooth pudding cuts as a child.

What is the point of this presser? Why have a COBRA meeting if everything is under control?

Kier Starmer said in a speech today it's what he needs to do. I expect Johnson was in his office doing a painting by numbers and thought, that's a good idea!!

@BonnieDundee

Is vallence hinting that the restrictions are not enough at present
Definitely, it’s written all over his face.

I watched the film The Death of Stalin last night, it's bloody hilarious, but the bunch of incompetence fools dithering around so reminded me of this lot!

Orf1abc · 21/12/2020 17:29

Grant Shapps is a liar. If you want to see the state of the roads in Kent look at the Highways England Twitter feed, @HighwaysSEAST. It's a shit storm down there.

Pomegranatespompom · 21/12/2020 17:29

I don’t think they really said enough to make a judgement on schools.

CremeEggThief · 21/12/2020 17:29

Beer has only one syllable in my accent. So does mirror.

MutantNinjaCovid · 21/12/2020 17:30

What is behind the journalists folding screen?

Secret sex den?
Hidden granny?

There is no problem in Kent.

They should have built the No Deal lorry park in Deal. The Deal No Deal Lorry Park has a great ring to it.

Alas.

brilliant film and very apt

Boris the dominatrix!! Pass me the mind bleach!!!

CoronaIsWatching · 21/12/2020 17:31

We really have the least statesmenlike PM ever

WotWouldCJDo · 21/12/2020 17:31

Two syllables? I agree it doesn't sound like the others, but no two syllables here!

Smile what's your accent? Mine is fairly broad North Yorkshire and it's definitely "be-er" here.

(Here also has two syllables. And no H).

BonnieDundee · 21/12/2020 17:31

Ooh he doesn’t like her! It’s all over his face

From memory I think she was one of the main instigators of the Durham/ Barnard castle story

@PandemicPavolova

Emmanuels birthday 🎂!! Very pally!
I doubt it. It's all part of the act saying that. I think Macron has a very dim of him to be honest.
Orf1abc · 21/12/2020 17:32

@summerstorms The Brexit lorry park isn't ready, currently looking at February!

SixesAndEights · 21/12/2020 17:32

Hahahaha - over promise and under deliver - he looked like he wanted to run out of that room fast as his little legs would carry him.

willsantausesantatize · 21/12/2020 17:33

Alas , I fear , that this briefing is a bit of a waste of time.

FlappingPancakes · 21/12/2020 17:33

I'm so bored of these stupid journalist questions, I really am

this was a big Fuck Off You French press conference as far as I can see

if any of these European countries think they don't have this strain that spreads quicker, then they are delusional. We've just been the first to announce it (why do they think their cases were all going up exponentially the last few weeks!)

Purplethrow · 21/12/2020 17:33

Alash ! Drink hiccup , burp cheersh
