Boris Johnson is expected to announce a national lockdown next week after his scientific advisers told him it was the only way to save Christmas.

Scientists from the Sage committee yesterday presented No 10 with bleak figures showing that Covid is spreading 'significantly' faster than even their original 'worst-case scenario' prediction.

Last night a Cabinet source told the Mail that the dramatic move will be announced next week. It was not clear exactly what form the new lockdown would take, or what would be ordered to close or how long it would last.

Boris Johnson isn’t the same since COVID-19 almost killed him.

Declare the “scientists” heretics, put them in stocks so citizens can stone them, and call it good!

My thought exactly. Brits are addicted to their bangers and mash, don’t get enough sunshine, vitamin C or D, and have crappy diets. Get a life Boris and be the person the Brits elected, not another swamp rat.

14 days to level the plateau

Meanwhile corporations are directing that this will be the status quo for almost another full year.

I guess this is the concession that Donald Trump is going to win big on Tuesday.

Plot

Santa Claus wakes up with a cold sometime before Christmas. His doctor, who thinks nobody cares about him anymore, advises him to make some changes to his routine, so Santa decides to take a holiday instead of delivering gifts.

There’s nothing new under the sun!

Well you heard of Dasher and Dancer and Prancer and Vixen. Comet and Cupid and Donner and Blitzen. But you will lose your lid, to know Rudolph got COVID

Rudolph the COVID Reindeer
Had a little runny nose.
Now they got him quarantined
Because he is COVID exposed

All of the other reindeer's
Wear masks and stay away
They cant keep 6 foot distance
So they wont pull Santa's sleigh

So this coming Christmas Eve
Santa will be heard to say
“No deers will pull my sleigh!”
“Your kids are screwed on Christmas day!”

Later Rudolph got better
Which gave Santa a Grinchy grin!
To know he was all better
So Santa ate Venison!

He’s bowing to the same experts that gave the world that horribly flawed Imperial College model last spring

Yep. So if Europe wants to shut down (except for Sweden) by all means go for it.

In the meantime here in America, let's hope Trump wins on Tuesday.

Boris is a moron. But most Brits are. I work with quite a few and I’m sure most Brits are just fine with this. In fact, many morons here are and were just fine with a national,lockdown.
