Boris Johnson 8pm televised address - official match thread

[The Wizard]

I don't understand this really. Yes, it's nice to have a bit of positivity but it's fluffy guff. Don't give people any false hope. Stick to facts. Just say the R rate is this, hospital admissions are this, and we won't even review lockdown UNTIL the R rate is this and hospital levels are this. What is so hard about that?

People need hope, maybe you don’t but plenty of people who are at the end of their mental ability to cope need any string of hope to hold onto.

Why doesn't he comb his hair?

Because that’s where he keeps all his secrets.

Whole Country expected to close from Wednesday at 1 minute past midnight on Tuesday

Can I have an extra Point on the ''Score Predictor '' for the above ?

 

[Deportivo Seagull]

He looks ill

He does. I wonder if it’s now hitting home that he should have acted sooner. I don’t like the man but wouldn’t wish him ill health.

February half term sounds like a minimum for schools

Which is about right, it's a trade off that might even be extended til the end of Feb if cases are still high.

And how are they going to feel when we get to February and we have the inevitable next address where he extends lockdown further, no doubt with more abstract promises?

 

[Deportivo Seagull]

i didn't say what he led the world in

True .... if you were talking about ‘shagging out of watch’ you would be correct.

An admission by default of the catastrophic failure of his “no lockdown- localised tiers” policy then.
But more importantly where was Laura K? Inside consoling her man maybe?

Sam Coates on Sky says Premier League not allowed to continue, misspeak or true?

 

[Lenny Rider]

Apologies, have come in late, does professional sport continue?

Still going ahead in Scotland...

PL to stop, Fulham, Villa and Leeds relegated. We survive again. Marvellous.

I agree. I was expecting him to match Scotland initially but pleased he has been bolder than that. The spell where my kids school.was shut for 3 weeks in November the online learning was way better than in lockdown 1 so I'm happy to go with that for a month or so

Would that include the Albion?

I would be shocked if schools go back before April

Only tier 4 done by Feb?

You’re best off asking Doris Stokes
