Yeah, I'm aware. But it is indicative of the man being a pillock.

Zing! Could also have been: “I’m shaking hands,” Johnson said when asked how he planned to handle visiting dignitaries. “I was at a hospital the other night where I think a few there were actually coronavirus patients and I shook hands with everybody, you’ll be pleased to know, and I continue...

If you've just lost your job and haven't got any money coming in, £30 down the pan for stepping outside your front door won't feel like a joke.

Mine did the same on Saturday.

I'm never going to vote for the guy but personally think Boris is handling this as well as can be expected. I'd love to be able to ask him candidly, and receive an honest answer, whether he'd have thrown his hat into the ring for the PM job if he'd have known this was hiding around the corner.

Nothing like a nonsense number plucked from thin air.

Shhhh! You're getting in the way of a good old fashioned bout of manic hysteria.

It's only killed those with weakened immune systems, from what I've read. It's bad but not yet fatal unless you've got some underlying medical issue. Did read something earlier that said the global authorities are worried it's still mutating or whatever. Knew I shouldn't have read The Stand to...
