Will we learn anything new, I wonder?

Boris Buzzword Bingo

*Alack

Alas

Etc etc

What else does he say?🤷🏼‍♀️*

World-beating!

Considering the online news is reporting a lot of snow coming my way in the South East I doubt I will be able to go anywhere this weekend even if I wanted to.
So I'll stay in again, alas.
I would imagine this will be a big PR exercise for the vaccine roll out , to kick us off.
Then journalists will ask long complex questions ( or four) and Boris will umm and ahh a bit and wriggle out of how the police have lost a lot of data , if that comes up of course. Why is Priti Patel still in a job?
He'll pass a lot over to other people to tell us to stay indoors and protect an NHS the Conservatives haven't cared about for years prior to this pandemic, then go off for another look at his push bike to see if he can have another trip out on it this weekend to get away from babies and girlfriends.

Patel said they wouldn’t be announcing any new restrictions today

Tg for that

Should hope not

marshmallowfluffy · 15/01/2021 16:02

What would make a refreshing change is a little honesty. “How the fuck should I know, I’m supposed to be on a Caribbean island quaffing champers. Qui dederit cacas (Who gives a shit). Alack alack, my premiership is alack.”

I think the bad news is only delivered at 8pm

marshmallowfluffy · 15/01/2021 16:06

Peston's last message is about today's death toll so I'm assuming nothing new. I know that cases are plateauing /slightly falling. Could it be this?
They've passed the 3 million vaccine mark - could it be this?

stuckhereontheinside · 15/01/2021 16:07

They have just released a video trailer for this evening's production.

Boris says we must "think before we leave the house" [...apart from him who'll be getting a lift to a park for a bike ride, while the rest of us live in fear of roadblocks by police who still think virus transmission is taking place on country walks, rather than supermarkets and workplaces]

marshmallowfluffy · 15/01/2021 16:07

Agree that Boris likes announcing the good stuff. I think if it's bad he would have briefed the Commons?

MorrisZapp · 15/01/2021 16:07

Has BJ ever said alack on telly?

UndyingDeathdefying · 15/01/2021 16:08
  1. Kumquat :)
  1. Is it wrong that I have printed out the bingo card using top quality paper?
  1. Can I be the first to add "pettifogging"?

My twenty something son bought one out of Sainsbury's. It's a long heavy Grey beast with a hood and makes him look like Boycie from ' only fools and horses'!

It's groundhog day yet again. Stay safe stay at home wear a mask unless you've downloaded a form to say you don't have to. Same old.

The Brazilian Variant! It reminds me of that Mock the Week edition long ago during the Brazil world cup...

Fizbosshoes · 15/01/2021 16:27

@MustBeDueSomeBetterFeet

I'm betting on something about us 'bearing down' on the virus. I can't stand that phrase.
I always think of giving birth when I hear the phrase "bearing down" Confused

probably some promises about monitoring flights from Brazil, from next month after thousands of passengers have arrived, untested and have spread the new variant

UndyingDeathdefying · 15/01/2021 16:35

"I always think of giving birth when I hear the phrase "bearing down" "

more birthing metaphors would improve things a lot.
