I'm in all day today, but would like to know what the Gov wrap around on today's papers looks like and says?

Is it about boosters?

Pic would be appreciated!

TIA Xmas Smile

twitter.com/Kashandara/status/1472864656326901760?s=20 Looks like it was just about boosters.

Interesting, we were at the cinema last night and there was a govt message from Chris Whitty! Now I love Chris Whitty but this was very kind of menacingly done, straight to camera sounding as if ...'if you don't do this, we'll be after you...' Was a bit strange. We saw two films and it preceded both.

Thanks Giveaschitt and Seeline but neither show the wrap around!

This has been broadcast regularly on mainstream TV for several days now too.

Eh? That tweet quite clearly shows the government wrap around! They're all different newspapers with the same wrap-around front page about the boosters - exactly as was described in the memo. Were you expecting something different somehow?

Yes that’s it on the Twitter link. Were you expecting something different?

heldinadream · 20/12/2021 10:40

@Seeline has it? Not watched a lot of TV so not seen it. I didn't really listen closely tbf because I've been boosted as has my DH so it's not directed at me and I'm already full of covid info so I switched off from the words but caught the 'tone' IYSWIM.
Interesting they've got Whitty to do this; they must think he'll reach some of the hesitant. Not sure they're right.

Apologies! I didn't scroll down enough! Xmas Blush

Thank you, it was indeed much as I expected.

I haven't watched tv for a while, so haven't seen Whitty's 'ad' either.

I did hear on the radio that some anti vaxxers have taken to block booking jabs and not turning up in an effort to confound the campaign.

Oh fgs. I'm almost at the 'lock'em up' stage with these idiots. In fact could they be prosecuted for that, is there some kind of law that deals with sabotaging health care?

I wonder if the wraparound covers have been rolled out to keep a certain photo off the front pages instead? 🤔

MamDancer · 20/12/2021 11:02

Well, my dentist will 'fine' me if I simply don't turn up for an appointment.....

Interesting idea P0gM0Th0in!
