“We should assume the restrictions that I have announced will remain in place for six months” PM Boris Johnson adds if we “fail to bring the R below 1, then we reserve the right to deploy greater fire power, with significantly greater restrictions”

From Thursday, all pubs, bars, restaurants and other hospitality venues in England must close by 22:00.and they shouldn't mingle with other groups in pubs or restaurants.Hospitality businesses are legally required to take customers' contact details so they can be traced if a potential outbreak is linked to the venue. Previously, they were advised to do so, but didn't have to officially.

Businesses can be fined if they take reservations of more than six, do not enforce social distancing or do not take customers' contact details. Cabinet Office minister Michael Gove said earlier there was evidence the 22:00 closing time had a"beneficial effect" on the spread of the virus.

The most dangerous man in the British Isles. Must be terrible when you finally get the job you always wanted and felt entitled to then realise you are shit at it. Just when the country needs a leader you get Boris

We are going to go into a second full blown lockdown because most people do not care and will not follow the rules... this happened last time, first they said they will not do a lockdown, then they imposed restrictions and then a full lockdown. People seem to forget quickly.

Boris Johnson has done nothing but lie to the nation Matt Hancock Chris witty light show the nation and now we have to pay for their mistakes this is disgusting behaviour from the government

Assume nothing. Tyrany never stays in place. Freedom lovers all over the world will see to that.

So if 3 weeks turned into months then months will turn into years - permanent in fact. And threatening us. This, from an elected government. This is tyranny. BorisJohnsonMustGo

Unless you’re Dominic Cummings of course, then do what you like.

Not a frigging scooby what a R is, all guess work. With regards to fire power, where was it in March. Get gone you fruit cake.

No you won’t

No one is wearing a mask 🤪

I would worry about any greater restrictions impacting on mental health of the loneliest in society.

コロナは白人に冷たい。

death knell to the hospitality and travel industry

Boris is toast, he will never make it to Christmas as leader

Yh max mid march then no restrictions vaccine here

Just don't comply. Nobody will police something like that. It'll only be policed in more public settings.

Insane to announce this for 6 months rather than repeated reviews of these draconian measures

😂🖕

Another 6 for your 33...they are so predictable the frustration is setting in....

We lockdown the people that have almost zero chance of getting serious problems from Covid and the vulnerable elderly we kicked out of hospitals and into care homes infecting others. No wonder the average victim age is 80.

BREAKING NEWS ,,,Reports coming in from Churchill's grave. Someone heard him mutter 'Never before have so many been so afraid by so little'

Arcane_Bean comment sectionnya wahaha juga ya

Curfew for 6 months Hitler never even imposed that on his fellow Germans and they say he was evil

Maybe stop people in England who are living in lockdown areas from traveling to other areas to holiday. Wales doesn't need visitors we are also mostly in lockdown

If he was a man and a true Englishmen with a sense of honour and decency, like the Russian twat pretends to be, he would do the honourable thing and go into his study with a revolver and not come out! Worst PM in my memory. Abdicated power To hanCOCK, Whitty and Vallance.

When the lockdown first happened which was shit , the laws were put in place for 2 years with a review every 3 weeks. I’m fed up of the PM, trying to scare monger us We know what we need to do. Just do it. My Christmas or news year won’t be cancelled either!!

FatEmperor This sounds very Bogical.

“Our behaviour changes”.. the government told everyone to go back to work and paid for people to eat out. Now they’re blaming the people and threatening with harsher restrictions/ “fire power”. This is unbelievable.

It's all kicking off

It’s the government who locked down too late, it’s them who didn’t close airports until 3 MONTHS after the virus was here! It’s them who came out of lockdown to soon, it’s them who crammed people in resturants Mon- Wed. But yeah, our behaviour must change. Shame on us all 🤪

Doesn’t any lockdown have to be passed by parliament and the last one runs out on the 25th sept?

You lower the R rate by stopping a bullshit test that does not test for anything other than Genetic Material. All you have done is increase testing with a test not fit for purpose. Its a scam and that will come out soon enough. Shame on you cowards

Its not fact, the PCR test testing for a genetic material that most of us have, that you have blown up to find in anyone. That is a fact in our lives. You are tyrannical liars and criminals. Infection DOES NOT mean Disease.

Stupid man BorisJohnson I blame you. If you had sacked Cummings it would have shown the nation that this is serious BUT you couldn't because you have no backbone. You alone are to blame. Shame on you. Shame on you! You have no leadership skills.

Why are we still mixing households in England? Get on with it BorisJohnson

What about beauty salons Are they staying open knowing some use needles.

In answer to a question from Greg Clark he said that even the 6 months is not a hard deadline - if evaluation of the virus is such then it can continue longer - the six months comment is basically a meaningless mention of a date

Question: How many months do you have to lock down to get rid of the flu virus from the world? Answer: You can’t. It’s impossible! What makes you think Covid is different? You’re all bonkers! Look after the vulnerable and grow up!

So if the restrictions don't work we'll continue with them until something else does?

That's this person who afraid came last evening with his health and safety scientist paid by BillG and avoid any questions 😂😂

Dictator...remember what happened to Mussolini!

Fascism and YOU are the collaborators.... destroying our country, our way of life is a declaration of War! Where is our military? They should be taking these men down!

Still lots not wearing face masks or face coverings? on trains. Packed train on Tonbridge/Redhill line as only 3 cart train in school hours.

Advice is clear don’t mix wear a mask wash hands. Don’t blame Boris Johnson it’s us that is spreading it you could test one day and people can get it the next so wash hands don’t mix etc

Learn from our leader ImranKhanPTI

I live near Northumbria and just seen 2 army transporter helicopters heading up towards the borders a few mins ago..closing the borders or marshals?

Yes we need to control it but what about those in care homes having to go another 6mths without seeing family/friends. My nan is 103 so I'm already on borrowed time and another 6 months not seeing her may turn in to forever and this upsets me more than anything!😥BorisJohnson

Guess these masks are doing nothing as expected.

Let the bloody virus rip. God wills it.

come on boris , keep pushing this, your brother needs the cash .

I guess the virus doesn't go in the house of commons... Whats the point of telling us to wear masks? when everyone in that room isn't wearing one? idk

No... what we the people ASSUME johnson is your days and your parties days are over....RESIGN

Thus he knows 100% there is zero chance of a UK available vaccine in the next 6 months....that’s March/April then before we can even consider having that discussion.

'Greater firepower' civil war sounding Prime Minister

This clown makes it up as he goes along, fit and proper to run this country, I think not!

Ignore the nutty tyrants & live your life, see who you want. The Government do not own you. Make your own choices, take your own risks, see your friends, family& loved ones. Ignore insane diktats that receive no vote or democratic scrutiny, realise we are living in a dictatorship

And China are still not held accountable for the release of the virus 😞

When is the vaccine coming? Will it work? Another six months or years?

“Greater fire power” ? .. are tasers being replaced with AK47s for the police now then?

This is Bullshit. Fuck the PM and the UK Government. it's already torture enough living 6 months or this lockdown crap. It's just really getting ridicolous.

So basically the sheriff of 10 Downing Street is trying cut the R rate with white collar workers Working from home while he will take his chances with shopkeepers etc all for tax reasons.

How the fuck can you protect jobs when your shutting everything. More fucking lies. Boris resign your a kunt. I’ll visit who the fuck I want to visit 😤😤😤🤬🤬

If you wear a face mask make sure they are adjustable, washable and look cool like these ones...

Boris take a ride

According to Boris J virus is not attacked before 10pm 😂 .

SO WHAT IS THE EXIT STRATEGY? Zero Deaths? Zero Positives? Flatten the curve? The disproportionate arbitrary legislation based on flawed & manipulated data is not harming you. You still have a job. It's doing more damage to the nation than any C19 risk.

Omg he screwed up opening pubs and sending kids back to school he now wants to do a trump with force what a dick

Sir, why does the BBC only retell politician's comments, without making own journalistic analysis... afraid but afraid of what?

first was 3 month, this one for 6 month - might as well say, this is your lives now folks. All because of a virus that is of no deadly threat to over 99% of the population? 😏

Are you Fucking joking I can’t have my whole family at my wedding anyone no one I love.

What is this we? It is his job to keep us safe. The bumbling fool can't do that, apparently he's.worried about getting a nanny and how he will pay for it How about he does the same as everyone else and do it himself Oh wait ......

People talking here like there is actually a virus 🤣🤣 WHY ARE WE STILL PRETENDING THERE’S A PANDEMIC Has anybody seen the data sheets All we see are CASES, no deaths! Wake up and rise up, together we say NO to this tyranny, 26th Sept 12pm Trafalger Sq London.

We all know boris the nut job will bring in tougher measures winter is upon us will help speed things along

Who am I going to kiss at New Year’s Eve if I’m stuck with my family and not allowed out past 10?

You are the Virus!! Propaganda arm for the State!!

Poor Boris, so out of his depth.

tory covid policy = set fire to the economy, piss on the ashes, feed it to a dog and 2 days later,, drink champagne while the dog squirts out whats left in front of traffic

Boris & Handprick should stop talking, they are digging deeper and deeper holes. They are sounding more ridiculous by the day. Time for the adults to take control of the country

Why 6 months What if in a week or 2 the deaths/hospital admissions have not risen as much as the cases surely they can be reduced then surely if it’s younger people getting it & making a full recovery without needing hospital treatment then we can reduce these restrictions

U said same in March! BorisJohnson Back 2 normal in 2week lockdown. Which went on for months. Now u say 6mths.Few yrs of lockdown then! Ppl get unsettled bring soldiers 2 keep us locked in. DraconianLaws IDoNotConsent RobinSwannMoH civildisobediencenow REVOLUTION_HAS_BEGUN

I reserve the right to not hide inside forever like a coward.

So people kicked out of pubs at 10 then go back to their house with those people but just not socially distanced. I know it’s a lose-lose situation but really?

All based upon flawed data, what the fuck is going on .

I see the plandemic loons have come out of the woodwork. Still waiting on one of them to answer a single reasonable question as to why anyone would do this. Not one has managed a coherent answer yet...

So basically we need to go to the pub an hour earlier.

Boris Johnson frightens me, he hasn't a clue. So time to admit defeat and stand down to a political party that does have a clue. Coronavirus, Brexit what a cock up he's causing the uk. Sorry but get rid of him before he's pushed.

I honestly think Billy Bunter doesn't even know what day it is, I think there is a dark side at work here and they have pushed this clown forward to take the flack.

Did people fight in WW1 & 2 to allow us to lose our human rights and civil liberties just later down the line. We should be disgusted with ourselves as a society.

Anybody who believes this is for 6 months is an utter fool.Dont people get it? He's going to keep doing this until we get a vaccine.That's why he said 6 months.He thinks we might have a vaccine by then but it could well be never.

Boris, you might not be in power after November 3rd. Just saying.

Eating a vindaloo at 10.30pm is not anymore riskier than eating one at 9pm.

So who's up for a grouse shooting Christmas party?

How’s Sweden doing looking good to me and no lockdown a lot of people proved wrong

BBCWalesNews Is this going to involve the welsh government too?

Boris stated today...'Test and trace has absolutely nothing to do with stopping the spread of the disease'...please some one give him a cognitive test..massive fail yet agin!

The plan is a second lockdown that plan exist befor covid came. Its a plan and al leaders that listens to the W.H.O will put the coutry`s back in a new lockdown. And a harder one. They need to wreck the middel class. Its a plan the great reset.

night Some panic buying taking place in supermarkets already . This ridiculous behaviour needs to be curtailed by the supermarkets themselves.

This government does not govern for the people; this government is governing for itself. It has become an enemy of the people, its actions are treasonous.

We the people do not consent

The system was stable before - otherwise cases would not have come down. So what has changed? Is this now a balancing act - give up on some things to keep pubs and schools open?

Look at the increase in infections since schools reopened. You will then see its very clear that schools are the engine, the driving force in spreading the virus. Shutting pubs at 10pm isn't going to help. The only way to stop the spread is to turn off the engine.

Easy, stop using the tests to look for chromosome 8 and stop fudging the numbers! Anyone who died within a 28 day period of a 'positive' test shouldn't be an assumed covid death.

WeVotedToLeave Well that left me whelmed!

What happened to the couple of weeks we needed in March 🤔

Following the advice in this superb video and sharing it as widely as possible will boost compliance with vital practices and save lives:-

Boris no more of this. Rules of 666 no thank you mate. I am tired of the lies and Bs

Boris the buffoon... dictatorship through the back door. His quote about greater fire power gets one thinking 🤔

Why don't they wear masks in the House of Commons?

Shut the fuck off!!!! First of all you don’t know how to handle the fucking country because of you peopel like us still jobless tf we gonna do for living sitting in front of tv and listening to your bs which doesn’t make sense in first place just fucking resign

Boris Johnson is finished !

People should know BBC backs Gavi and have taken millions from the Bill gates Foundations since 2009.

When is any news outlet going to address the Migrant problem. They have lost count how many are here. They are not poor women and children they are all men. They have been allocated 115 free Houses in Skelton York. They are coming in daily by the 100's

HOAX all day long

But the figures are dubious 👇

lol okay Boris. Thats a no, sorry. However, something more productive.. check this out for free with no fines or restrictions.. 👇👇👇👇 ------------------ M a s k s T w o M e t e r s S a n i t i z e ------------------

Fire power? Is he shooting the virus?

smithy in the first 30 seconds = me to this. 6 months is an impossibly long time to expect a country not to live their lives, not to have weddings, celebrations, Christmas and family gatherings. And you wonder why people aren’t listening anymore?

BREAKING NEWS!! MUST WATCH!! The CURE for ''COVID19 '' has finally been found!!! Do your duty and inform your viewers!

Bojo those restrictions will end promptly on 26 Sep lol.

aohereng Greater Fire Power pmsl

Well the r number is obviously gonna go up just as we go into winter and there testing for any coronavirus not specifically covid 19,what next,troops on the streets,ffs are we having this shit

Can someone please explain this to me I work on a holiday park in the on site shop iv been instructed to have people wearing mask and not to serve if not. (Which I agree with)(it’s a v small shop) but 9 outof 10 say there exempt I can’t ask for prof,it stops others compiling..

The Chinese or the Russians are going to roll their tanks into such a desolate shitpile, they might not even waste the diesel.

People are not following the rules and they arnt going to. The government are unable to police the anti maskers therefore this plan simply will not work. There should of been a proper lockdown from the start and we wouldn't be in this mess now!

As planned. More steps to depopulate people based on false narrative about existence of never proven viruses. Good luck everyone in this wicked world. Usurpers are going to use all tools against us.

They just want us to beg for the vaccine. Absolute psychopaths.

BBC shutdown your full of BS

So COVID doesn’t go to the pub until 22:01 ? Everyday is a school day

JokerJohnson and the Cabinet of Cronies must go! We need a government not a pack of comic book villains

'Never ASSUME… it makes an ASS out of U and ME.'

European Centre for Disease Prevention & Control 30 day projection (17/9/20) No rise in deaths forecast.

Total lockdown lol pubs to close at 10 will stop nothing. Watch the numbers still go up.

utter bollox SayNoToLockdown

Bonkers mad

Firepower? Fight? This monkey's just a walking bag of pseudo-militaristic, pretentious drivel. Spoilt brat playing at being Churchill but failing miserably. Oh, and Christmas has been cancelled. If you still think Bojo the Clown is doing a good job, you're soft in the head.

BorisOut

Absolute and utter bollocks as per usual 💯

Good social distancing at the beginning of this video ...NOT -

This is because of these stupid fucks who refuse to wear a mask and keep gathering in large groups. They only way things will get back to normal is if we all wear a mask, wash our hands, limit ourselves to small groups and take the vaccine once it's safe. WEAR A DAMN MASK

Will the Media STOP asking stupid questions over COVID-19 and read the rules instead. The way it keeps pushing utter rubbish from Labour trying to influence the public that Starmer and his motley lot could have handled it better is a joke.

His head has gone

You should have done this 6 months ago !!

Choice of language is atrocious, where’s the positivity and hope? BorisJohnson

'Three weeks to flatten the curve' - March 2020. 'The curve's not quite flat enough yet, we must try harder' - March 2021. It's never going to end is it?

By Mr Johnson stating the possibility of the need for 'greater fire power', does he mean that there is a possibility in the future, for the enforcement of martial law?

Boris Johnson, if that is his real name, isn’t the man I thought he was. I have to admit I was conned. Behind the buffoon style and posh stutter, is a horrible little dictator, who is drunk on power. Ugh 🤮

LancsLass9 Why does he threaten all the time? He already knows it's gonna happen. Please stop breathing man 🤞🏻

So they've put the fine up to £200, that will make so much difference...... The police don't even enforce wearing masks, they completely ignore the issue.

Boris Johnson:

He said he wants to 'get the virus done'. Ok. The fact that the UK and other countries had national lockdowns 6 months ago but the virus is still prevalent says to me that the virus isn't going anywhere 🤷‍♀️🦠🤷‍♀️🦠

At this point we may as well 'go full Sweden' and say 'fuck it, live and let live.' Lockdown clearly isn't stopping the virus from spreading so what's the point in continuing it? The survival rate of people who caught it is 99%.

LancsLass9 Show me the dead masses and I'll believe the point in this re: Sweden

As an analyst this Govt is a pure joke. If I presented or acted on the data they are using I would be marched out the office. Cases are irrelevant, we hardly had any testing in the early days, how do hospital admissions compare and where are the mothballed super centres we built?

To the UK from Boris, Merry Christmas, not!!!

BBCWalesNews 🖕

UK deaths per day have been below the five-year average since June and continue to fall. The government have deemed that the needs of the few far outweigh the needs of the many.

LancsLass9 Why Johnson? Why? What curve are we trying to flatten now? Like the one of the millions dead we tried before? puppet dictator Tyranny

There was never a question of whether the Govt would impose another ‘lockdown’ of the UK. The lockdown isn’t a consequence of the failure of coronavirus programmes and regulations: it’s the product of their success in implementing the UK biosecurity state.

How can we get rid of this imbecile?

Do you hear the people sing? Singing a song of angry men? It is the music of a people Who will not be slaves again! When the beating of your heart Echos the beating of the drums There is a life about to start When tomorrow comes!

Whole of Parliament is insane. Gov't have gone too far it is blatantly presenting fraudulant data to justify its wilful excesses of power. It is criminal. Misconduct in public office carries a maximum sentence of life imprisonment.

yet MORE fear mongering on only a 'what if' scenario. And we all know how they got that wrong in the last lock down!! 3 Nightingale hospitals that were meant to be overflowing with patients then mothballed due to never being needed!!!

BBCPolitics Slowing the spread when there is hospital capacity only lengthens the period of pain.

6 months! And now the end is an R0 1 - no matter what is happening in hospitals, or with deaths and the most at risk? How does this make sense?

Manufacture some plots to scare people, to move opinion polls so I can do what I want. Johnson we've seen this before - not convinced this time around. People have already missed early cancer diagnosis because of your policies. Just go (Tory voter).

He even knows the amount of people going to your funeral 😂😂😂

Seriously look at the state of theses idiots ruining our lives And dictating our fate! LITERALLY LOOK AT THE MAN! He can’t even control his hair!! He doesn’t give a shit if we live or die! No one is gonna save u from whatever is being planned. Either wake up or listen to Boris!

He just can't stop himself using ''relevant rhetoric'' in his waged-war against the people of the UK. Yeah, yeah, we get it -you're the enemy of the people Borange

Its not if we fail... You have failed this country BorisJohnson total waste of fresh air!!! People nerd to wake up now and fight back!!!!

R rate goes up and down as the “scientists” so we have no chance of it going down. Best thing to do now is mass non compliance.

Six months? That should be enough to flush the economy completely down the pan. And for what? Deaths and hospital admissions are right down.

The libertarian becomes the great Dictator.. I've suddenly woken up in Pyongyang..

Shoot the poor?

BorisJohnson You have some answering to do. First you lift lockdown when the weather was hot meaning increased tourism nationally, you increased footfall in towns with eat out to help out. Now you want to close restaurants after 10pm. You open schools & blame children. Ur a joke

I drive a taxi and wear a mask. Am I still allowed to remove it when alone or is this all the time? What about using the taxi for personal use with family? Do we still need to wear masks? More clarity need here

Greater fire power? greater restrictions? Its as if he views the public as the enemy

For what These clowns are making sure there will be nothing left to return to. Shame on Johnson and his shitshow of a ‘Government’

The R Number is essentially derived from 🔴'cases' from a PCR test where most of positives are either false or have neglible traces of old virus 🔴Computer modelling WHICH THEY ALWAYS GET WRONG The R Number aint science and is being used for political control medical tyranny

Wow a 10pm closing time on pubs is going to save the nation from COVID 🙄

'fire power' Oh boy

Police state now and then the military

Panic panic panic go away Johnson weve had enough

World Beating Shitebag 🇮🇪🥳

At least you announced this in the house and not from your house for achange. Parliament

This. Isn’t. Leadership.

If all these restrictions don't work by six months, then SCRAP THEM.

disgusting I shall never vote again until the whole political and media swamp have been drained of its morally corrupt detritus that are poisoning our lives

The biggest failing the government have made during this pandemic is to put to much trust in the public to be sensible. They may have made some questionable decisions but the public are the ones who have failed and the reason for more restrictions....fact

All the moaning about the pubs shutting early makes me laugh. Don't you worry about covid. You might dodge it this time but with your alcohol intake your worries will come later on in life. Take care ✌️

BBCWalesNews WALES. Public Health Wales. No new reported deaths. Number of suspected COVID-19 deaths* reported to PHW. Announced on Tuesday. coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) COVID19 Wales

Ffs he’s answering nothing

If shop keepers have to wear face coverings why don’t the mp’s have to either they are at work make an example when talk just take it off then put it back on again.

Well that’s the economy totally f**ked. Just wait for the mass job losses and the current recession to turn into a depression.

But where will be Boris be in 6 months🤔🤔

Masks July 900 cases wear mask september 4500 cases what use are bloody masks!! Weddings down to 15 it's not as if there are thousands of weddings absurd rule. Pubs close 10 supermarket get record sales!! It's about time vunerable shielded and the silent majority had a life

BBCWalesNews Some comments seem to forget the terrible loss of life that has occurred ,regardless of politics it’s all our responsibilities to protect our friends neighbours and people we come into contact with do the right thing contribute help out not spread it and risk peoples lives

communism - nothing more nothing less - just be honest with yourself and see it for what it is - and keep in mind that communism killed hundreds of millions more than the cold virus ever did.

This is the reaction to a virus that killed %0.000016 of the UK population yesterday. Where on earth is the perspective

Give it a rest Boris

If one of Boris's policies last 6 months, it will be the first. I'm betting on a u-turn within a couple of days.

BorisJohnson What has happened to a competent test system? Hospitality is being screwed even further now.

Remember, remember the fifth of November, The gunpowder, treason and plot, I know of no reason Why gunpowder treason Should ever be forgot.

THE GREAT CAPITULATION FOR THE CORONA-HOAXSTERS!

I swear January 1 2021 I'm going to make me a 'SURVIVED 2020' tee-shirt, and hope 2021 doesn't self implode.

Does he sound scared to you?

why are they not wearing masks in this indoor setting?

Johnson should have listened to those who said it was reckless to encourage people to go back to work places unnecessarily.

This is the longest 3 weeks ever.

Boris we have been following your guidance... but your government have fail in all the promises you have done. Test and trace is fu.., increase testing, not happening. Stopsaying that you and your government keep the virus under control.

Don’t be surprised if you spark mass riots and civil war soon! Employment currently at 4.1% undoubtedly to rise! 100S of small businesses to close, self employed ruined and 100,000s laid off!

What a horrible year 2020 was. When is it going to end? I don't think I could ever get used to all the restrictions😷

His use of language for this type of catastrophe is idiotic and out of touch with most people on the receiving end of their failures

Load of bollocks

6 months? His emergency powers are due for review in a few days. But presumptuous isn't he.

I WILL NOT BE ABIDING BY THESE RULES.

love how no one is social distancing nor waring masks in this video yet we cant gather in memory for the death of a loved one .... thats fucked up .

If Boris Johnson was serious about Covid19 restrictions he would have sacked his arrogant 'special adviser' Dominic Cummings 😷

Week 37 Covid was responsible for 1% of the 9811 overall deaths. I wonder what the other 99% died of 🤔

Love a day sesh👍🏽

Probably some public sector worker on full pay not able to understand when his job goes.

The only reason they are going on for 6months of restrictions because prime minister is effectively saying he is not fixing trace test and track incompetent government!!!

'deploy greater firepower' Big wartime words from a flaccid lazy incompetent. Blood on the Tories hands Brexit in jan will just make everything worse

This is will not help to stop the spread... did he had a conversation with Covid-19 and told him stop attack after 10pm 🤪🤪🤪🤪

Couldn't this all have been avoided if there was a track & trace system that actually worked? And adequate testing? Its time to say bye to Dido & Serco. The £100bn used to support tory funders should go to the NHS workers furlough and struggling businesses. Lets make progress

First off ban all demonstrations and water cannon any fucker that resists length or breadth of country, if that fails start pinging rubber bullets out robotron sytle and if that fails send them out to sea on a dingy to France

The sad thing is, if this muppet was replaced, he’d be replaced by another muppet. If the Tories were replaced, they’d be replaced by more muppets. And the show goes on...

Don’t care. Want are furlough forever joenottoofussed

I mean it won’t as NOBODY is paying attention to even basic things - left a gap to women behind me in a shop yesterday so people could get through with enough space & some idiotic women stood in it Others wearing masks but negating it entirely by having their noses popping out

This is not going to work!!!!!

No No No No No No No No No No No not playing your games pal!

Meanwhile in Sweden without lockdowns

'We will not listen to those who say let the virus rip' That'll be Vlad Cummings out the door then. No?

You literally told us to eat out to help out and now we have to have new restrictions for 6 months? Honestly this government is an absolute shambles

It’s all about control...they just make up things as they go along,the hole lot of them are embarrassing

So are they going to extend the furlough scheme or what?

Boris is a Hero

The R number means shit!

Six more months of marshal law! Ubi solitudinem faciunt, pacem appellant.

People do not understand what the restrictions are, what the guidelines are as all are very confusing.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Weres Boris' mask?

This worldwide Zionist hoax virus has never been proved to; Exist Be proven to be transmissible from Person to person, no evidence proof at all. ITS A ZIONIST VIRUS NOTHING ELSE AND THESE CREATURES ARE PUPPETS

Coronavirus at 10:01pm COVID19

Shut pubs now you clown. No need for drinking in them. Tough if jobs go. One of the main transfer route of COVID.

Does that mean they’re going to shoot people?

BBCPolitics Our department CAN work from home,but our manager wants us in.If an employer decides to overrule our own views,wishes and feelings about our own lives,safety and national effort to reduce the R rate,Will we be compensated if we contract Covid or our family members as a result?

As a family of 4 and my brothers family of 3, I am unable to see them legally for 6 months Surely that’s a violation of my human rights? Based on a ridiculous worst case prediction? Surely there is a better way?

Then “WE” reserve the right to drag your arse out of No.10.

The factual evidence shows masks aren’t effective! They in fact give a false sense of security and are a reason for the decrease of social distancing, why are you ignoring evidence that i can read publicly which tells me how ineffective they are!

Why 1, anybody ask?

How can anyone support this? Absolutely ridiculous, Another lockdown will not solve it. People will die through cancer, heart problems & other illnesses and depression. You can’t run away from it. If it’s here it’s here.

Bo Jo will do well to remain in place for 6 days, let alone 6 months. That number 6 makes an appearance again I notice.

A likeable, witty, intelligent leader or a quacking jobsworth?

Boris, ffs, speak to Sweden mate, they have got this, u dont have a clue, just go back to whereever u keep disappearing too cos ur lips are moving but all I hear is blah blah blah, oh and how comes I have never seen witty or Hancock wear a mask 😷 or doesnt it affect the elite !

I work in a bookies half of the customers don't wear masks as we can't enforce it why should I have to wear one all day and not the customers especially the ones who sit in all day.

BBCPolitics I hate listening to a serial liar who has all the honesty, integrity and decency of a pushy door to door salesman whose credit rating is well below zero. Should we adhere to the new restrictions, yes, but only because they concur with the advice of science and health experts.

These “restrictions” won’t work. Lockdown V2 incoming...

No vaccine by Christmas and the only testing for most will be chargeable - more Tory profiteering in a time of national crisis. The Prime Minister is taking this country for mugs.

And we reserve the right to kick you so far out of Downing Street you'll need to join some illegals on a dinghy to even get back in the country.

Meanwhile, China and Wuhan are back to normal.

Nonce

WHERE ATE THE HOSPITALS BORIS PROMISED TO COPE WITH CAPACITY.. THE CAUSE OF LOCKDOWN... THEY DONT CARE SO WE DONT EITHER...

You conveniently missed 'unless we make progress' right before 'we should assume'... Convenient 🙄

People need to ignore these restrictions as much as they can. It has nothing to do with public health; it’s pure tyranny.

And... that's me not voting Conservative next time. I will be abstaining unless the Tories decide to not tank our economy. Labour will never get my vote. Options are short.

You failed us. Now six months of restrictions all good tho you had a nice little trip out the UK I'm just getting by. So glad we have leaders who care and we trust

SackBorisJohnson

Nobody, I repeat nobody look up the data from Sweden

He’s wording is sick in light of all this during the first 6 month lockdown👇

Will these new / improved rules apply to CityMayorLeic & his assorted minions whom even under Leicester Lockdown rules carried on as normal ?

I'll give it Fire Power. Feckin weasel.

Immediately after sponsoring 60 million meals in pubs and restaurants BorisJohnson says we must stop the spread of Covid-19 in pubs and res... after 10pm. How many people actually put an X behind his name? Seriouslypeople? This is England/Rule Britannia’s finest? jesuswept 😂

well everyone should refuse to close at 10 pm surely this is unlawful if he has not put this to a vote in parliament yet why is some one in the royal family not putting a stop to this and finding out if the scientists are lieing or not and this could be flu

Our department CAN work from home,but our manager wants us in.If an employer decides to overrule our own views,wishes and feelings about our own lives,safety and national effort to reduce the R rate,Will we be compensated if we contract Covid or our family members as a result?

The coup de grace for the economy...not a word on the immigrant invasion or the BLM episode

esaagar Another charlatan, a dictator.

Absolute joke. Imposing ridiculous rules on 99.99% of people for the sake of 0.01% who could much easier be locked down and controlled whilst maintaining normality amongst the other 99.99%.

I can't even imagine how many times you have just been killed in minds of people.

Does Boris have a plan for the anti mask wearers and those that just don't give a toss anymore or do they continue to throw their toys out of the pram?

Good luck with that

Conservatives, you realise you will never be elected again, don’t you?

Get ready for the army out on the streets like Madrid then. Anyone who defends this dictatorship deserves the absolute worst life imaginable. I want nothing but awful things for all of them.

He is loving this isn't he 🤬🤬🤬

As all parties and all devolved governments are part of the process perhaps people trying to make political gain from deaths will stop.

By 'our behaviours changing' I'm assuming Mr. Prime Minister you're referring to the continued, repeated and blatant disregard your own ministers and advisors show in their own behaviours towards this ongoing crisis? BorisJohnson

These new ‘restrictions’ aren’t going to make the slightest difference. I guess we’re heading for a lockdown. 🤷🏼‍♂️

'Remain in place', except for Christmas Day!

Joe public 'Yeah ok thats perfectly fine, shall i bend over now sir or back at your place?'

“Perhaps” 6 months - not definitely

The rate hasn't been below 1 for ages and Bozo was urging people to go back to work to save Pret. What a spiv.

by what date does it have to fall below 1 in order for greater fire power to be averted?

Well, that's a strange resignation speech.

Well done Boris

The one per cent do love their six numbers

Fucking stupid

He already has

It’s a good thing you can’t catch Covid in a pub before 10 pm. 😂😂

A very bleak winter ahead.

More like 4 weeks maximum, then these restrictions will be gazumped by much stricter measures. Too little, too late. Absolute failure.

Beeforsalmon01 shoot me then nothing will stop the sesh

Make a plan and stick to it's only way to solve the problems of the virus

Sort out the testing debacle

What a cretin, 30 at funerals but 15 at weddings.... makes total sense

BorisJohnson and to quit TheSun SkyNews DailyMirror thetimes Telegraph GO NOW WEVE HAD ENOUGH OF YOUR STUPID RULES MASKS 8 hours in workplace you really dont have a clue

Why should we assume this? It is ridiculous.

Why 6 months?
