That the regions can't provide customers for the metropolises?
Why would he ignore the glaringly obvious truth?
The “opposite” point will be that people need to pull themselves up into having disposable income… it’s not for the state to help them. He’ll be keeping people onside with that line away from gullible listeners to his barely coherent “speech”. Nation of lazy workers don’t forget… Britannia Unchained.
Btw Kelvin well done for moving on from calling him "Blobby Blobby Johnson".
Although to be fair it did bring back fond and nostalgic memories of being back in the school playground. So that was nice.
Mr Blobby is perfect for Johnson. He deliberately creates chaos to keep all eyes on him.
No no no......"Blobby Blobby Johnson" not Mr Blobby.
It's much easier to chant in the playground.
Blobby Blobby is Mr Blobby’s catchline. It’s two words as well (sort of). Perfect for Johnson. Or, come election… bring out the big phrase Blobby Blobby Blobby!
Next time he's making a speech try to be there and chant "Blobby Blobby Johnson"......he might burst into tears.
The details are always coming some time in the future. See absolutely any policy announcement by Johnson ever. Hospitals, bridges, social care, Ireland, fish… whatever. And that’s before we get to implementing those details… you’ll grow very old waiting for any of that.
Don't forget the tunnel projects.
I get confused, is it now a bridge or a tunnel to Northern Ireland?

Why not have both like the Dartford crossing?
my personal fave is the one I don't remember the uk press reporting.
British Moroccan Undersea Tunnel
And the Forty Hospitals, if only work had started on them, something useful.
(Well apart magicing up Docs and Nurses to staff them.)
I mean who wouldn't believe that this will definitely happen?
it may as well have come from Mr blobby, he explained it so clearly

Doesn't the tunnel now include some sort of terminus/theme park underneath the Isle of Man?
About as likely to happen as any of those hospitals, a Garden Bridge or and airport on Boris Island.
Has anyone totted up the total in trillions of all Boris's unfulfilled promises? I bet its even more than his child support payments
Phew. No more than 15 minutes from a football pitch. What more can anyone ask for?
I'm still waiting for the high-tech solution to NI border issues.
It's almost starting to seem like just having whimsical bluster and a 'positive mindset' isn't enough on it's own to sort out complex international issues.
Doesn’t the tunnel now include some sort of terminus/theme park underneath the Isle of Man?
Just having a single tunnel was going to be barely worth getting the diggers out for so the idea was to have one tunnel from Stranraer, one from near Lancaster and one from Liverpool all meeting under the Isle of Man and then a single tunnel running to NI from there.
Has anyone totted up the total in trillions of all Boris’s unfulfilled promises?
Its only Labour who are asked to provide prices for stuff. The overall trillions I couldnt really care about though its the millions Johnson hands over for "feasibility" studies.
I hope none of these bloody marxists expect to be taking the bloody knee on any of these new football pitches

You are definitely over thinking it. When May tried some form of harmonisation fudge in 2018, the blundering Foreign Secretary saw his chance, started talking up a bridge to Northern Ireland (all that was lacking was the political leadership apparently, whatever could he mean) and then soon after left the cabinet. Northern Ireland was, according to him, all easily sorted with positive thinking, and any paperwork resulting from Brexit could just be sent to him to be binned. Since then, it’s all been sorted, using his mighty mighty performative politics…
“A danger to the world”
Gets "pinged". Doesn't self isolated.
he's on that mythical pilot scheme SelfIntitledCocksuckingRacistsDonthavetoselfisolate
*slow hand clap*
There's no way my missis will finish her quarantine now, and I suspect thousands of others will be the same.
They just get more and more brazen but it’s hardly a surprise.
That's the end of that then...
My kids school just been closed down days b4 end of term, a whole class has to isolate for the start of the holidays now, some holidays have had to be cancelled
And yet...
https://twitter.com/PoliticsForAlI/status/1416661730768396291?s=19
When is Boris’ holiday in Scotland due-in the next couple of weeks??
Boris has just given the green light for those planning for summer "staycations" to do their own private versions of this stupid trial.
Cases, hospitalisations, deaths...
Yep the daily testing pilot for the our betters whilst the poor suckers have to stay at home with zero pay.
They have just decided that the rules probably should apply to them in one of the fastest U turns yet...
Michael Gove, Boris Johnson and Rishi Sunak have all been chosen to skip isolation
Is Sunak shagging as well? We know Johnson and gove can't keep it in their trousers so its either no isolation for them or they have to remember what it was like at school and shag each other 😉
Could they not forsee the reaction from the public and opposition, hell even some of their own MP's when they made that choice? They really are as thick as pigshit.
Edit - the original choice to not isolate I mean. The u-turn is largely pointless now. Cat's out of the bag.
An even a U Turn on masks tomorrow would seem like its being done for them and them only, they really are in a difficult position having once again demonstrated that he's a self centred narcissistic liar.
He needs to go, and you'd have thought this would be yet another catalyst for that that just might succeed. But no, we''l be stick with this lying Buffon for for another few years yet.
Even the Sun's editor-in-chief was on the TV this morning slagging them off with "One rule for them and another rule for the rest of us."
Cat’s out of the bag.
there are plenty more dead cats in the bag
So the message is; you don't need to self-isolate unless other people find out that you need to self isolate, so keep it to yourself.
Not sas that Sunaks been found out for the elitist he always was either
No wow. No surprise. All made up on the hoof.
It is worrying that they are making such a cock-up of the basic political pr. Which is the one thing you might think they would be good at. Where was the senior special adviser whose job it should have been to deliver the expletive-laden diatribe as to why they should go and self-isolate and make a big media fuss about it?
It is worrying that they are making such a cock-up of the basic political pr
Why worrying? Its both laughable and it line with the rest of their attitudes.
Dim and entitled is a bad combination
Exactly, all we are seeing is more from people who don't give a **** and think they can do whatever suits them. Most of the time it works for them.
It is worrying because it means they are even less competent than previously thought. Which I didn't think was possible.
They've gone past being just the basic incompetence and are now aiming for the unexpolered area that is making it worse than if they just did nothing.
there are plenty more dead cats in the bag
Yep. Wrap them in Union Jacks and the dickheads will go for it.
It is worrying because it means they are even less competent than previously thought. Which I didn’t think was possible.
Doesn't matter to them. Paint the picture that it is worse in Bongo Bongo Land and 'they' all want to come here to leech off 'us' and job is a good'un. Wave a Union Jack, say something about 'world beating', job jobbed.
They're only exploiting what they know. Enough of the electorate are thick/prejudiced/ignorant enough that they don't have to try. Just play the xenophobia card.
'We' are all culpable in this because 'we' enabled it.
What's depressing is that Johnson is proving Cummings absolutely right
Tho a shopping trolley is actually useful a d serves a purpose, plus it only requires £1, rather than a trip to mustiqe or a flat redecorated to get it to work
Shopping trolley? That’s going to stick, isn’t it.
How long until Johnson or gove get caught breaking isolation?
Gove you say.. interesting read:

To paraphrase Henny II. "Who will rid us of this incompetent ****."

What pisses me off is that Johnson blatantly travelled to the sprawling country estate at Chequers after Javid tested positive, while half my kids school are now isolating due to an outbreak. Some live in flats without gardens, let alone having a maze, acres of land and a pool
Well he’s special 🙂
Freedom day does feel like Brexit day.
Got covid done.
Effectively announced its all done and walked away.
(To isolate 🙂 )
Effectively announced its all done and walked away.
Exactly this. No ads, soundbites or announcements urging us to be cautious or providing advice. Just a leadership vacuum (more so) into the abyss.

Nadhim Zahawi drew the short straw and was on Radio 4 this morning as Boris's latest human shield, defending the indefensible.
He was very insistent that Boris wasn't playing us all for fools. He had the exact figures for how many people had downloaded the App (it was pointed out that this was a different NHS app) but said their were no figures available for the number of people who had deleted the app (the actual one)
Let me just update you Nadhim.... In light of this bullshit, that'll be pretty much everyone who's just deleted it, you shameless gang of ****ing hypocrites
I get confused, is it now a bridge or a tunnel to Northern Ireland?
I can understand Boris’s confusion over the link to Northern Ireland. The only map of NW England he has ever looked at included the Isle of Sodor on it so he assumed that it wasn’t that far and already had a good railway infrastructure.
Oops, wrong thread!

Gives me a week of fun with the EU flag and loud hailer then, what with these warm nights and windows open a few passes on my barely silenced moto guzzi wouldn't go a miss either 😀

Top knowledge! I keep hoping that question will come up in a pub quiz, but no luck so far.

You’re not The Missenden Flyer are you?
You’re not The Missenden Flyer are you?
Nah - he's far too polite 😀
let me just just check; is it Schadenfreude or Irony that Johnson is having to give his Freedom Day speech while in self-isolation at Chequers? (that he tried to duck out of). Or just a shit show?
self-isolation at Chequers
By heart bleeds for him.
Like I said earlier, with zero credibility he's going to tell us how he expects us to behave.
Tosser.
Or just a shit show?
You need to ask?
Normal human beings would be filled with a sense of toe-curling embarrassment at the prospect of delivering a 'Freedom Day' speech while in self-isolation, but its difficult to imagine what Boris Johnsons threshold for embarrassment is. If there is one
let me just just check; is it Schadenfreude or Irony that Johnson is having to give his Freedom Day speech while in self-isolation at Chequers?
We won't know until the chips have finished falling but it will be one or the other, or both.
He lost all credibility a long time ago for me... I literally don't care what he says, as he has extensive history of saying all manner of complete nonsense.
The clear and present danger now is that most of the the Country are now like... It's over!
Yey! Well I'm really assured now that wearing masks is no longer mandatory on public transport...
I've read more than a few times that relaxing social distancing further whilst the delta varient is ragingly high (whilst not currently resulting in additional deaths of any statistical relevance)...
Is creating the perfect petri dish for a new more dangerous varient that can escape the vaccine.
Nah – he’s far too polite
Never mind! Can you post a video anyway for us?!!
Is Govey seeing an analyst?
Is Govey seeing an analist?
That's the rumour.
or just a firm friend?
Don't you just hate it when your funny joke gets stuck to the end of a previous page, no one is likely to see it there. ☹
Anyhow, when out 4 steps to freedom were outlined at the end of lockdown 3, there was total commitment that the dates might be pushed back once the effect of each stage had been analysed. This was to ensure that the final stage was irreversible and there was no possible reversal back into any kind of restrictions.
Haven't heard that repeated for the last few weeks? Unfortunately I've not heard anyone asking him about it at the press conferences either. How do you get to put your question to that?
Dawn Butler needs some kind of recognition for this amazing display:

Snuck it in just before recess. Bit like egging the headmaster's car on the last day of the summer term.
She's right, isn't she. The PM can lie every time he is at the dispatch box, and if the speaker and his team don't call him to the chamber to correct his record... then MPs should stand up to say what needs saying. If the PM has made it clear that he will operate without observing the conventions of parliament, then how can MPs scrutinise and correct him without also breaking those conventions?
