What do you think Boris is going to announce tomorrow? Is he going to announce a full lockdown the day before Christmas Eve?

Well if the daily fail is saying it it must be true Hmm
However it would be daft to delay any tiering decisions for a week the way things are going

ineedaholidaynow · 22/12/2020 20:44

@kittensarecute have you got someone you can speak to in RL

PussyCatInChristmasStockings · 22/12/2020 20:46

Maybe he's going to resign?🤞🏻🙏🏻

@kittensarecute

I'm holding out for Christmas day then I'm done. I don't want to live with these constant lockdowns and restrictions anymore. Everything that makes me happy is gone and I can't cope with it anymore.
Do you have family at home? Have you got anyone you can tell how you feel?

I have my mum and I can form a support bubble with dad as he lives alone and he lives nearby so i hope Boris doesn't scrap support bubbles.

tootyfruitypickle · 22/12/2020 20:47

@kittensarecute is there anyone you can call? When I find things hard I literally take things half a day at a time, and distract myself, have a walk, find a box set (16 series of greys anatomy !). One foot in front of the other. There is hope, six months ago we didn’t even known there would be a vaccine. It will end.

Agree with the Fail et al. Expansion of Tier 4 from Boxing Day. I work for a Council in one of the affected areas and we were told this afternoon.

This is all just temporary. Please try to talk to a friend or someone who can offer coping mechanisms. I’m sorry you’re suffering.

@kittensarecute I can't see him getting rid of support bubbles

ofwarren · 22/12/2020 20:49

The Mirror mentioning possible full lockdown too

I think a full lockdown is sadly inevitable and necessary. Including schools.
The countries that have closed their borders to us - they need to see Boris throw everything at this to instil confidence.
I think it will be from the weekend.

More tier 4 areas are coming I am sure. Just a case of where and when. Announcing them tomorrow especially for Hampshire which should have joined Portsmouth/Gosport (as the token member of the public queried yesterday) would not be a surprise.

At least St Peter has one simple decision when the time comes.

tootyfruitypickle · 22/12/2020 20:50

@kittensarecute stop reading this site and watch something escapist. Lots of people on Twitter saying how amazing Schitts Creek has been for distraction this year

BernadetteRostankowskiWolowitz · 22/12/2020 20:51

He won't get rid of support bubbles.

willsantausesantatize · 22/12/2020 20:52

Will be brush his hair this time?

nosswith · 22/12/2020 20:52

Michael Gove wanting restrictions more than some other cabinet ministers is consistent with what has been previously reported.

Unsure33 · 22/12/2020 20:52

Support bubbles have been there from the start . They won’t go .

But I think it might be full lockdown . Makes sense while schools are off . Wales especially are in big trouble ( not boris fault) the army are in .

Crazycatlady83 · 22/12/2020 20:52

Is it that he will resign?! One can live in hope!

Or Whitty has now been appointed to the new role of “President”

wanderings · 22/12/2020 20:52

The word "plunged" is overused.

Is someone writing Boris's resignation speech? Is the Queen about to give him his marching orders? Or is that too much to hope for?

ineedaholidaynow · 22/12/2020 20:53

I would second watching Schitts Creek for escapism

Unsure33 · 22/12/2020 20:53

@Crazycatlady83

That won’t make the virus go away .

What would you do if you were in his position , taking into account the scientific information he is given ?

chomalungma · 22/12/2020 20:54

Alas, fa na fa na fa na,
We're being plunged into Tier 4.

LadyofMisrule · 22/12/2020 20:54

Well my bets would be on (a) he's fcked the country over Brexit, or (b) he's fcked the country over Covid.

Probably both.
