What an absolute twerp

MarshaBradyo · 14/05/2021 17:40

Good re unmanageable pressure not evident

He's brushed his hair yet it looks worse. It looks like his baby's been at it with blunt scissors.

"whatever it takes" - bingo phrase?

Watercoloursky · 14/05/2021 17:40

Monday still going ahead as planned

DianeCherry · 14/05/2021 17:41

He's heavily caveating the June unlocking but we go ahead as planned on Monday (in case you're not watching)

Stovetopespresso · 14/05/2021 17:41

June potentially looking dodgy, please be good everyone, sorry Bolton.

Watapalava · 14/05/2021 17:41

👏 Boris

We should not be locking down for cases alone

MarshaBradyo · 14/05/2021 17:41

Take vaccine Bolton and test - good

warmup · 14/05/2021 17:41

Once again it's 'it'll be your fault if it goes tits up but we're going to let you do everything anyway' Hmm

RhubarbTea · 14/05/2021 17:42

Enjoying the sign language guy who seems to be very subtly taking the piss out of Boris feeling sorry for people in the North. Or perhaps that's just wishful thinking...

DelBocaVista · 14/05/2021 17:42

Phew!

Right decision

Phew.

MarshaBradyo · 14/05/2021 17:43

Thank f for that

SamW98 · 14/05/2021 17:43

Monday easing going ahead as planned - absolutely the correct decision based on the current data

Stovetopespresso · 14/05/2021 17:44

hands face space and fresh air, yet we are still allowed to mix indoors? agree @warmup it's "our fault" if it goes wrong.
Good news on second doses for over 50s I guess.

Moonstone1234 · 14/05/2021 17:44

What on earth has racism got to do with it.

Why was there household mixing at EID? People knew there was concern over the variant. So why carry on mixing?

Watapalava · 14/05/2021 17:44

It’s about time we got to make our own decisions

I agree.
Mumblechum0 · 14/05/2021 17:44

"Let's exercise caution and common sense".

Not a Boris fan but I think this is the right call.

Mumblechum0 · 14/05/2021 17:45

Totally agree @DramaLLama IF that figure is correct???

Delatron · 14/05/2021 17:45

Whitty doesn’t seem happy. He made an error with the weekly average death rate then said 7 instead of 10 I think. Maybe they’ve all been arguing.
