Maybe France are annexing us and turning us into an island facility for leper’s and asylum seekers? They’d like nothing better.

@nicky7654

I'm gonna watch Only Fools and Horses instead. Nothing better than a good laugh at Rodney while eating chocolate. Boris can wait!!
Saw this meme on line with a photo of the main characters ' this time next year Rodney we will be in tier 9' ! (I do hope not!)

I have got La Rochere glass stockpiled
Le Creuset
Champagne
Onions
Garlic

We have a frenchman in the family- do I need to send him back?

@lockeddownandcrazy

I have a hair appointment tomorrow - the first in more than six months, if he cancels it I will personally drive to london and rip off his bits!
I'd pay money to see that!

Well they have Ibiza -only fair we should have a plague island too

theleperofeurope · 21/12/2020 14:57

I feel like I in some nightmare horror film and cannot get out, every day is worse than the one beforeShock

willsantausesantatize · 21/12/2020 14:57

What are they going to say now?
More doom and gloom no doubt :(

Don't ground almonds come from Spain?

You have to go back

DecemberDiana · 21/12/2020 14:58

It's the hairdressing that will drive any revolution. Like bread was to the French.

ArseInTheCoOpWindow · 21/12/2020 15:01

Tier 4 for whole country. Mainly to stop people leaving Tier 3 and going to hospitality in Tier 2.

Possibly schools closing.

Dunno🤷🏼‍♀️Could go on for ever really....

Brexit
Shortages
Vaccine
Xmas
France
Lorries
Weather
Flying cows
Anything is game at the moment

Madcats · 21/12/2020 15:01

What happened to Allegra Stratton? Isn't she supposed to do (TV) press briefings?

Perhaps we could have the Spitting Image puppets do them to bring a smile to our faces.

Aquamarine1029 · 21/12/2020 15:02

Boris is going to cancel all of our birthdays.

willsantausesantatize · 21/12/2020 15:02

@timeforawine

Could bloody well cry now. I've remained ok all the way through, not let it upset me or depress me but this has tipped me. I feel sick :-(
I was like this on Saturday. A bit of a wreck Now? Let's try to stay positive. One day at a time. It's all any of us can do.
NottinghamFlorest · 21/12/2020 15:02

My money is on full Uk lockdown from Boxing Day.

PusheenLove · 21/12/2020 15:04

Is the press conference still going ahead?

GreekOddess · 21/12/2020 15:04

What time is this expected?

ThePlantsitter · 21/12/2020 15:05

@Aquamarine1029

I think you've called it Aqua.
willsantausesantatize · 21/12/2020 15:05

I think it's lockdown everywhere. Very unfair if you've never really come out of lockdown :( or been ok in tier 1 or 2 etc.
I got my hair trimmed the other week.
It was bliss for half hour.
My poor hairdresser has had a bad year.
It is all just shit isn't it?

VaccineMan · 21/12/2020 15:06

I have got La Rochere glass stockpiled

This is a joke, right?

Quartz2208 · 21/12/2020 15:07

I just cant see what the other countries are trying to achieve with this panic. Surely Jan/Feb last year made it clear that you cant out run it - it is already on mainland Europe it is going to get there

We should be working together to figure out how to get through this

RelightMyPfizer · 21/12/2020 15:10

Well it was but the le creuset and goose fat was genuine.
stovetopespresso · 21/12/2020 15:10

i would have thought a low profile would have been the best thing now, but it must be something to do with looking good as the tory press have turned against him. so I reckon nothing on more lockdown but a 'plen of ection' about the blockade?

Ellieboolou33 · 21/12/2020 15:11

My guess is Boris will announce that Brussels sprouts are banned this Christmas, all the wind created by them could increase the risk of covid.
