Sunday - schools are safe to send your children to
Monday - scrap that, it's over
That useless fudge wit and his last second u turning. This is their biggest yet giving some folks <24hrs to sort out childcare arrangements which many won't have that option.
So, coronavirus...
This wasn't last second. This was 24 hours after the last second.

Doesn't matter though the Tories aren't losing poll leads.
Polls are pointless. The Tories are still in power for another 3.5 years.I like neeps wrote: ↑Mon Jan 04, 2021 3:56 pmDoesn't matter though the Tories aren't losing poll leads.
Tories 4 points behind just before Christmas. Johnson's personal ratings way downI like neeps wrote: ↑Mon Jan 04, 2021 3:56 pmDoesn't matter though the Tories aren't losing poll leads.
Read an article over the weekend that reckons neither party would gain overall control if there were an election now
Bearing in mind Tory's have an 80 seat majority and Labour are still tainted by Corbyn's leadership that should focus some minds at Conservative HQ

I think the Tories will chuck Boris.
For me, as a Tory inclined voter who has given the benefit of the doubt at various points, the key crime here is the dithering. I get the thought process in March. I get Eat out to Help out etc. The vaccine programme is good. But time and again Boris dithers and doesn't want to make a decision, trails it in the press, vacillates and then takes the decision too late. Make a decision and move fast on it has to be the key lesson of the crisis.
What's staggering about it is the indecision in the big role from a man who thinks he's a latter day Churchill. He wasn't exactly trailing to the press that he might sink the French fleet.

Which would mean a Labour govt doing a deal with the SNP supporting their budget and queens speech in return for a referendum.SaintK wrote: ↑Mon Jan 04, 2021 4:05 pmTories 4 points behind just before Christmas.

And are there two g’s in Bugger Off?
I'm not a tory voter, but I too supported the early decisions. However since then, it's seemingly moved further and further away from the suggested advice. Throw in the sheer corruption of the spending for PPE, paying sweet companies, pest control, currency brokers etc, who all seem to have connections to the tory party, but none to PPE, and I wouldn't dream of voting for them now.Paddington Bear wrote: ↑Mon Jan 04, 2021 4:12 pm I think the Tories will chuck Boris.

With many being double counted and 500,000 tests.
Ah fuck, his ban is up soon...

My God, he actually managed to start on time
And then gets immediately into his stride with a lie about how it's not the Governments fault; it's the mutant virus

Was he a little slippy in his language on that; or was it my imagination ?
He said something like all the affected groups would have received the vaccine; nothing on them being fully vaccinated, i.e. getting both jabs, with potentially a 12 week gap before the people who got their first jab in mid-Feb, having to wait 3 months more, plus a couple of weeks before they have full coverage
Oh I hope so
With every jab that goes into our arms we’re tilting the odds away from Covid and in favour of the British people,” Johnson says. He says the end is in sight, and we know “exactly how we will get there.”
No, but that should be the point where we should start to see the effects in the data.fishfoodie wrote: ↑Mon Jan 04, 2021 8:19 pmWas he a little slippy in his language on that; or was it my imagination ?

The mid Feb target is clearly based on one jab.fishfoodie wrote: ↑Mon Jan 04, 2021 8:19 pmWas he a little slippy in his language on that; or was it my imagination ?

Vaccination is now the most important UK national effort since ww2. We will see.

Do circuits around the church during the mass
Do chinups, or dips during confession.
