Another Press Conference this afternoon ....

[MagicSummer]

Just been announced. What this time?

Can't think of anything more likely to stimulate panic buying than the BJ announcing that he's got food supplies under control.

No boxing day lockdown announcement?
Would be a perfect opportunity.

@Porcupineinwaiting

I agree.

@xmasfairybuns

He'll be doing one at 3pm on Xmas Day at this rate.

...surely the announcement has been leaked to the times or telegraph by now?

'A start would be for the press conference to begin on time.'
I doubt they're sat around drinking tea and just cba to decide a start time. It'll depend how the Cobra meeting goes.

Wtf is Macron playing at. Yes stop thick people travelling but not freight fgs.

No matter what side of the political fence you sit on, you wouldn't want to be Boris right now would you..

On the first day of Christmas Boris Johnson gave to us, one "surging mutant virus" (thanks to the Sunday Times for that) and a promise of a vaccine in a few months.

On the second day of Christmas Boris Johnson gave to us, 2 helpful scientists, either side of him, one surging mutant virus and a promise of a vaccine in a few months.

On the third day of Christmas Boris Johnson gave to us, 3 deep sighs ALAS ALAS ALAS...

On the fourth day of Xmas, BJ gave to us,....Tier Four!...

On the 5th day of Christmas BJ gave to us, 5 days of Christmas but in fact changed his mind and made them into 1 again....

I wonder if we are going to go back to daily press briefings whilst the current 'super crisis' is on? Yes, maybe one on Christmas Day (a suitable interval after the Queen, one would hope!) to say they hope we are enjoying our day, and 'by the way, from tomorrow ...............'!!

Its ok

*Waitrose was rationing
champagne
fois gras
president butter
goose fat

Big sign saying croissants made in the UK*

That's peak Waitrose

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 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!

He's going to say they've now seen the chaos and damage a no deal brexit will cause so we've rejoiced the EU

Maybe he'll tell us not to worry about the lorries blocking up Kent roads - that'll be the new normal once Brexit kicks in.

Or maybe its just the equivalent of him putting on his out of office so he can bugger off and have a merry little Christmas with Carrie and Wilf

@SantaAssociationRepresentitve

It will be to tell us that the car park for Barnard Castle is full and the optician has no availability

Rejoined the EU

The French have announced it is over.

Whatever you think of Boris, I wouldn't want his job right now. KS is staying that strategic half a step back, as is The Goviot. Nobody on either side wants to step up and look even vaguely capable at the moment!

That's kind of why BJ is where he is!

'' surging mutant virus and a sensible hair cut, whilst digging for victoreeeee''

@Wakemeuuuup we can only hope

@LittleMissLockdown

No way if that were to happen it would be the night before term.

Nah that would be 10 hours too much notice. 6am on the first day back sounds more realistic.

Exactly what I was going to respond with!

Declared war on France and Luxembourg.
Obvious really.

This thread is giving me a good laugh.

LittleMissLockdown: "I'm pretty sure half of England would die of shock if he started on time."

@LittleMissLockdown Indeed!

I find Bojo quite amusing, in small doses, but the problem is that he's become a bit of a joke now. His hair is annoying me too, especially since it's become obvious that he has a bald patch developing near the front, and is deliberately ruffling his hair up in a desperate attempt to cover it. Just get it cut short, man, you're not kidding anyone!

He must be in a pickle about Brexit. It's probably the worst time ever to leave with no deal, but he's been preparing the ground on this for months. If it's a tactic to play hard ball in negotiations it seems to have failed, and he won't want to lose face by accepting a bad deal now. He's stuffed, whichever way it goes, and there will be much upheaval by leaving things until the 11th hour.

Rest of the f the country to tier 4.

He'll be patronisingly explaining to us why this doesn't mean asking for an extension on Brexit after all his mates and relatives can't wait for ever to make the fat profit they're expecting from no deal.

@Wakemeuuuup

Rejoined the EU

We decided Brexit ain't great. So, alas, we will not leave after all. As you were everyone.
