He is right. Instead of locking the country down we should lock the government up.
I don’t think he has the authority to do much else Covid related within his own party.
People are doing it themselves to a degree. I know of so many get together and social events that have been cancelled or scaled back, dinner bookings cancelled, etc, including my own.
That’s not to say that the government shouldn’t get a handle on it in case it goes to shit, and ease up if it turns out to be better than some expect.
So Johnson says it’s not happening. Lockdown to be announced on Monday or Tuesday next week?
Translation: we are kicking the can down the road, will definitely lockdown, but far to late to achieve anything
Boris couldn’t possibly get caught lying AGAIN so the this years Xmas lockdown will be announced the day after the No.10 pissup.
Lockdown confirmed, get the bog roll and booze now.
I really hope there is another lockdown, fed up of going to the job centre every week, let me NEET in peace ffs.
The key to watch is what does hospitality get. As they are asking for Furlough for their staff.
If Sunak agrees it means a LD is on the cards. If he offers delayed business rates etc then no LD imo
I propose Xmas is moved to Easter on a permanent basis. It gives the NHS a chance to get over winter, it’s warmer and Easter as it stands is a very dull holiday.
Only because he knows people will be far less inclined to follow restrictions for a second Christmas, especially after the revelations of the Tory Christmas party from last year. While the drive to get people their booster is great, there is still going to be a high transmission rate until those boosters kick in. We don’t need a full lockdown but closing down some venues might be an idea for a fire-break to get us through to New Year.
January the nth. “We regret to say that cases have got too much and hospitalisations are on the rise so we need a short circuit break stay at home order”
They will refuse to calm it a lock down even if it is. Muppets the lot of them.
“Never believe anything a politician tells you until it’s denied….”
Yayyyy, let’s shut down the economy for a glorified cold
Bring the lockdown on then mate, don’t really give a shit. It’s winter anyway.
Only weirdos stay out past dark at this time of year.
If Boris says we’re not doing it then we’re definitely doing it. I reckon it’ll be early Jan for two weeks so they can get the revenue in for Christmas and NYE.
They’ll say “Its a circuit breaker, not a lockdown”, the kids will homeschool for that first two weeks of term, and he’ll close anything that doesnt need to be open
Protect the NHS etc.
But they’ll still have parties and affairs with their assistants but no-one will be allowed to bring a camera.
Lock me in a fucking cage and give me furlough at this stage. I don’t care. A mince pie would be nice as well but optional.
If you want a lockdown, all you have to do is go home, lock the door and turn the TV off
