He seems very on edge.

RainMoon · 23/12/2020 15:10

Has he lost a relative/friend?

nosswith · 23/12/2020 15:10

He is out of his depth and has probably been overruled several times.

JovialNickname · 23/12/2020 15:10

He looks like shit

Lifeispassingby · 23/12/2020 15:10

He is very shaky today

Jesus it's like watching a teenage boy doing a speech in assembly.

tootyfruitypickle · 23/12/2020 15:11

I’m wondering if it’s immediate and he knows that’s so crap

GiveMeCamembert · 23/12/2020 15:11

I wish he'd just get to the bloody point!

Nope well that’s something. I’m added to tier 4. No surprise .

idontknowaboutmortgages · 23/12/2020 15:14

Wait what? Another new strain - oh fuck

nosswith · 23/12/2020 15:14

Surprised at Norfolk and the Isle of Wight levels, not at Cornwall as people should have been stopped going in there with their Chelsea Tractors.

Shut the frigging boarders to south africa. This should be obvious.
