Boris announcement 5pm

[Wingingthis]

What now?!

Thought I was late.

Should have known better

Very early optimism but cases were lower today. And it's a Thursday which isn't usually a drop day.

He's arrived...

Does anyone else think he doesn't actually read his speech aloud before he delivers it?

He's arrived...

Why has he arrived now? It was only due to start a couple of minutes ago. I presumed it would get going around 6.30.

don he's just trying to catch you out.

Laugh a minuet this.

@EscapedfromGN

Laugh a minuet this.

What were you expecting?

I wish it was The Brigadier. Then The Doctor might be on the way to come and save us. And there may be Daleks roaming around...

🤣🤣

OMG the theatricality

I'm more reassured by Army involvement. They are more likely to be competent at organising this than Johnson and his mates.

Loving this guy but you can tell he's use to addressing soldiers and not a nation of people sat at home with alcohol waiting to play Boris Bingo!

@Orf1abc

I can only imagine the state we would be in if Corbyn was in charge.

Tell me about it. Healthcare workers knowing they're worth more than a clap, all children having access to IT at home, a universal basic income to ensure no one is living in destitution.

Putting people before profits. Unimaginable isn't it?

Well said. So strange that people are still defending this turgid mess of a government.

You mean hes dry, dull, to the point and doesnt waffle?

Still adamant all places of education are safe!

So, are we all going to be offered the vaccine at some stage?
Some people are saying it will only ever be offered to the vulnerable, is this correct?

Wow, the army bloke is great yet really entertaining for the wrong reasons. His face couldn't be more serious if he tried. The eyebrows mean business 🤣

My ds's army camp currently has cases... Don't be too confident they can save the day!!

Anyone just hear Boris' big sigh after that EYFS question?!

🤣🤣🤣

I thought army chap was nice enough but am not blinded by him being in uniform. His talk was very general and full of management speak. I'm a bit concerned at the data protection issues with the sharing of information between the army and the NHS and with the "embedding" of it all. I've actually forgotten what exactly was embedded but there was a lot of bland, meaningless but designed-to-be-reassuring management type speak.

Yes it has always been the plan to vaccinate everybody except children

Army guy was refreshingly non waffly.... amazing how low the bar is these days...

Army man for PM
