My God, what an idiot! He will destroy the British economy!
He is going to shut down an entire nation for a virus that kills less then 1% of those who catch it?

Lockdowns do not contain the virus. They are not magic. The virus will still exist and it will still infect people after a lockdown. The human race would never have survived exposure to new viruses and bacteria if lockdowns had always been the excepted way of “defeating” them.

Plenty of time to finalize a surrender to the E.U. while avoiding all of the messy protests from the knuckle dragging “Britain First” types ...

Circuit break?

Oh, so you just give your diktat a clever, focus group tested name and blithely take away people’s freedom.

How about a vote of no confidence, Parliament?

I’m wondering if BoJo is being being threatened by the UK’s Deep State.

Lockdown or the NHS will declare a nationwide strike.

Someone should ask him, on the record, to confirm or deny.

The UK has a Deep State and an NHS.

Let's hear it for socialized medicine.

Too bad. Now it's time for UK to get rid of him. He did one good thing though. Brexit. So in a sense, he has fulfilled his purpose.

Nobody. Whoever would replace Boris Johnson is a CINO.
