@Circumlocutious

This comes to mind.

🤣🤣

Sorry forgot photo not attached.

@Crunchymum

I still can't see any confirmation on Sky or BBC that this conference is even happening?

They’ve just said it on your beeb news channel.

All he’ll say is ‘.... but we’re. not. there. yet.’ Whilst banging down his fist.

Anyone for a game of bingo. Down everything for "world beating"

Maybe if we all do the boris bingo we can kill off the covid with alcohol poisoning!

I'm in! I can bring raspberry gin liqueur, slow gin (homemade), Gentleman Jack & a bottle of Polish vodka to the table?

All slogans have to be three words long. Longer and they need more lecterns, shorter and they need fewer lecterns which turns the arrival into the briefing room a game of musical lecterns. Last one in doesnt get a lectern and has to stand in the corner.

These briefings are so pompous and unnecessary. Just tweet it and be done with it.

You mean like Trump?

So Twitter can stick a "This claim has been disputed" on the bottom too.

3 word slogans

We have vaccine

Don't go out

Only go out

If you must

Work from home

If you can't

Go to work

Avoid public transport

If you can't

Use public transport

Keep schools open

Children don't spread

Cases in schools

Have got higher

This new variant

Spreads much quicker

Keep schools open

Not to all

Some online learning

Education will continue

To be fair I always got the stay at home unless ..... bit. It was always obvious they meant everyone to stay at home unless circumstances meant they couldn't and then go out as safely as you can.

But it's still fun to use!

Bbc have named Lancashire specifically as going into tier 4 but also numerous other areas.

Yeah but then he can't waffle on endlessly, don't think he's capable of being succinct, or even just capable.

🤣🤣🤣 that tickled me

Does anyone else dread these announcements

Hancock talking now, about the vaccine. Great British breakthrough, great country, etc, etc. Astra Zeneca couldnt have done it without the govt, etc.

Guardian journalist reporting following:

Josh Halliday @joshhalliday
Excl: Areas being placed into Tier 4 include all of north-east England, Cumbria, Cheshire, Warrington, Greater Manchester, Lancashire, Blackpool and Blackburn with Darwen, most of West Midlands, all East Midlands except Rutland, large parts of South West.

Excl Tier 3: Liverpool, Rutland, all Yorkshire and Humber, Worcestershire, Herefordshire, Shropshire, Telford and Wrekin, large parts of South West including Cornwall.

Nowhere will be in Tier 2. Only Isles of Scilly in Tier 1.

I think Boris' real slogan is Not My Circus, he couldn't care less about anyone but himself.

I'd like us all to stand on doorsteps 11pm new years eve and shout a stormzy style: fuck the government and fuck Boris.

Anyone else poured a ?

Shit sandwich here we come

Tiers change at midnight

Liverpool and north Yorkshire into tier 3

@Waxonwaxoff0

Anyone else poured a ?

Me 😂 with sweets i have pinched off my kids. Cheers!

I'm in Derbyshire, really hope we don't go into T4. My area is well below the UK average for case infections. Ugh.
