Arsenic jab should of been

Defund BBC...' invaluable present ' !!

Getting rid of BorisJohnson and the Tories would be the UK's best present.

BBCPolitics Booster jabs, manufactured in Europe😂😂 they always miss that bit out 😊

👍👍👍

Resorting to emotional blackmail and turning to the Christian faith to flog this is a sure sign of desperation

I hadn’t sorted anything for the missus, but she’ll be chuffed to bits when I tell her I’ve booked her an ‘invaluable present’ for Boxing Day

The jab clearly isn't working.

Boris doing one would be a better present

Not even beggars buy this idea.

I am happy that he would take a shot for me I don’t think so I’ll pass I’d like to see what the long-term effects of this is going to be the percentages are in my favor Merry Christmas

You can have them all Boris ... you can have them all

They would be better off injecting him with a truth serum instead.😄

Absolutely! It ought to be the easiest decision to make for anyone who really cares about his health and that of others! One cannot mess about with one's fine fettle, definitely not!

He is virtually translucent..... We can see right through him

For some absurd reason they frightened people with “Turkey will join the EU”. They didn’t. But so what if they did. Now it's Vaccine, Vaccine, Vaccine! A BioNtech/Pfizer vaccine developed by German scientists of Turkish descent. Get the jab. Despite the hypocrite...

Best Christmas present for the UK from Boris................... his resignation!!!!

What about a PM resignation for Xmas. The best present ever:-)

BBCPolitics I don't know why people are worried about catching OneMoreCon and ending up in Hospital - I mean on xmas day you won't have to spend 5 hours over a turkey and you even have a waitress to bring it to you in bed RESULT!

I’d rather some socks though

The invaluable present will be delivered when his party is over.

BorisJohnson resigning would be a better present to the UK...

Remember from the outset the fastest Vaccine developed in History Mumps took 4years.

.....also quitting his job!

I'm surprised he's not looked for a Tory donor to pay for his children's presents.

Boris resignation would be better BorisJohnson

wtf does that mean

It’s an invaluable present to him because he’s allowed the virus to run rampant. It’s a dangerous game to play.

An invaluable present for whoever’s pocket it lines

His resignation would be better.

So is getting you the fuck out of 10 Downjng Street!!

May that 'God' you keep pushing have mercy on you're Soul, because I doubt anyone else will ..

Boris Johnson Resigning as PM is an invaluable present

Probably that 1800 ppl who got killed with this present are as happy as this clown on the pic 🤡🤡🤡🤡

Johnson playing politics? Surely not...

ffs

Well you keep having them presents you can take all of mine no worries !

BBCPolitics So is having lateral flow tests to detect covid !! Oh we haven’t got any silly me !! Reliant on Chinese imports OVER better U.K. manufactured lft’s sitting in warehouses with nowhere to go ! Nice work Boris 🤡 DHSCgovuk BBCPolitics bbclaurak theresa_may BBCWorld Omega_ODX

Boris Johnson and Sir Keir Starmer issue solemn Christmas messages in nod to COVID sorrowThe prime minister, not known for holding strong religious beliefs, goes as far as to suggest that getting jabbed against COVID is in line with Christ's teaching, because it is being a good neighbour. When a person in the Church who tithes food every 3 years dies, Jesus gives him new life in Matthew 25:34. In Paradise. And when he does not share food, Jesus gives the second death in Matthew 25:41. In hell. AudioEmPortuguêsBrasil Bozza probably did his mid conga before getting balls deep in the cheeseboard.. Stormzy was right.
