Can anyone show a video clip where boris has actually said this all I see is the media saying this

If there is no record, that they can manipulate the number to make BoJo look good

Those that need to do them for work (retail, social care etc), will work start paying for them or say it's no longer needed and throw them to the wolves?

But what if I need to attend a cheese and wine party?

They are dumping them already 😁

Cases will go down

What about sackings?

When the world is run by accountants & idiots.

Cue public rush to stock up leading to massive shortage leading to plunge in reported cases. 🧐 did the press learn nothing from the recent petrol shortage?!

Good. We got rid of plastic straws to be replaced by billions of LFT. Down with plastics

Good, to be fair they are not 100% and most people don’t do they properly and therefore a waste of money (taxpayers money)

Hopefully I came successful thanks to a good friend and good manger. I never thought I could make money online me now, its real contact the financial freedom fighter marksust6

I thought we were in England where health care was free? This sounds like Boris is trying to make people pay for health care

Unbelievable who is Boris working for. Hidden agenda? The lack and absence of clarity, focus and accountability will continue

False

Such a logical thing to do eh? Stop people who can’t afford tests from knowing if they have covid or not, and just go ahead and spread the disease - putting an extra burden on the NHS (costing a lot more than LFTs), and destroying the economy.

Oh good. Let's just let people die.
