How many people is he prepared to let die first? JohnsonLiedPeopleDied BorisJohnsonMustGo ScottyFollowsBoris LNPCorruptionParty

He'll get his wish, let the bodies stack up!!!

No one should be locked up just for a virus.

Ha , ha , ha

‘acting early, with lighter measures to cut rising case numbers, will reduce the need for tougher restrictions later.’ Just ask Melbourne 👍😂

Yeah no shit it's not over...

I think Europe should pull up the drawbridge from the Sickly Isles!

Re-electability is the only thing on his mind. He obviously doesn’t care how many people die.

Move on. Can’t hide forever. Well done Boris

Expect Johnson to announce a fresh lockdown by the end of the weekend.

That'sBot what you Said Yesterday,Boris!!🙄🙄You can tell your'e a Conservative!!🙄🙄😑😑

Let it rip money over lives

Whenever new strain comes, pathogen changes. Hopefully the survival rates get better and better.

That is a bad choice, mark my words, sorry.

Yes but at least invoke sensible precautions. Stay with Dan's plan. A free for all opening is a false freedom.

Look at those weekends premierleague crowd. NO MASK AT ALL. Sooner or later, it will blow up again. Back to square one. Quick bucks for those PL Clubs for a few months!!

UK going to be the Guinea pig going into second winter. Let’s hope it’s a positive outcome 🤞🏾

He’s doing elbow bumps so it’s all okay.

No just a nice fresh variant, Delta+, caused by letting Delta run free in the community, giving time for mutations to develop, and more contagious than Delta. Thanks Boris.

Johnson also says vaccines don't stop transmission, so allowing vaccinated people to arrive from overseas without quarantining is just reckless idiocy. Especially given the Delta plus strain is 10% of UK cases, and we have zero in Australia. auspol
