Boris Johnson 8pm televised address - official match thread

[Black Hill]

Foggy ?

Clegg?

 

[Poojah]

If schools remain open then any other measures will be pointless.
Schools will remain open.

I'm currently enjoying my first child-free day since mid-December, and have achieved more so far than I have in the past two weeks combined. However, keeping the schools open would be tantamount to absolute madness and buffoonery.

Which is why, like you, I expect them to remain open.

 

[Eeyore]

They've signed a couple of forwards from Oxford, Astra and Zeneca.

Come the spring I reckon things will be much better.

Not sure we'll beat Covid this month. They've just signed a nifty winger in a changed formation.

 

[WATFORD zero]

Clegg?

Piss off Tiimmy

 

[keaton]

All the schools around here (East Sussex) are closed already.

Only in Hastings and Rother officially?

 

[zefarelly]

SGS is closed, my lads at home for a few weeks . . .the clever schools, and most of the population are usually several weeks ahead of the government.

A March replay.....?!

 

[SockMonster]

My guess...
Schools closed until beginning of Feb
Whole country in Tier 4 until beginning of Feb.
Boris to reveal it is a wig.
Any interactions with airborne mammals and any aquatic creatures to be seriously frowned upon.
And finally, Government scientist, Professor Whatsit, to reveal that left handed people are natural carriers of Covid and should therefore all be restricted to some kind of box under the stairs until further notice.

 

[Justice]

A March replay.....?!

No end product

 

[macbeth]

Of course we need to bear in mind that any new measures will probably be leaked to the press a good few hours before the briefing tonight

I'm left handed, can I just stay in my workshop for a few years on full pay obvs. ?

Yes you can.

[Lower West Stander]

Loads of crap from Peston and Kuenssberg in the pre match conference.

Silly attempt at a Churchillian speech during the match.

Even more crap afterwards. Sage pretending to know they understand what's going on.

 

[Stat Brother]

As much as I don't want to do 'that' again, but come on, Boris can't be on TV yesterday keeping schools open and on TV today closing them.

You forgot some... light, end, tunnel.

Expect the light to be getting nearer or the tunnel shorter, depending on how Boris chooses to fuddle this latest announcement.

 

[CHAPPERS]

Closing schools a day after telling the country they were safe and people should send their kids in is so inept it hurts. As if the situation has changed that much in 24 hours.

Have you been asleep for the past 9 months !!??
