A technique to avoid saying ‘er’. Bloke at work does it and needs chinning.

He presumably had written his response beforehand though?

Boris: Schools aren’t safe to open until 8th March
Boris: Schools are safe
Boris: It’s the kids in school that make schools not safe
Boris: Schools are safe

Supposedly makes you sound more assured and intelligent. He pauses a second too long though.

Lack of fluency in speech just one of my bug bears.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Boris whacking the podium doesn’t make your points any less bullshit

 

[hill83]

This bloke doing it as well........


I’m



seething.

 

[hill83]

Captain Hindsight ha ha.

Ordeeerrrrrr

Boris saying provisional school reopening of March 8th

Boris hopes... so we can forget about that date can’t we.

If the vaccine rollout continues at the pace it is now and the figures allow it.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

If the vaccine rollout continues at the pace it is now and the figures allow it.

With one jab only and 5 groups unprotected?

 

[Skybluefaz]

Johnson adamant that teachers shouldn’t get vaccinated

Did he give any logic behind that?

 

[David O'Day]

Not really funny though is it

It is though

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

It is though

How?

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Did he give any logic behind that?

It would take vaccines away from the at risk groups he said

 

[David O'Day]

How?

It was glib throw away comment about a situation where no one was harmed

 

[Sky_Blue_Dreamer]

Annoys me that he takes pauses every 3-4 words

Blair famously did it too, although mainly in speeches to the public not in the House which gave the impression he treated the average man as being thick.

Maybe it's just something trained into lawyers.

Pubs, gyms, workplaces, supermarkets, stadiums are all safe.

It's just those pesky people that insist on filling the places that make them unsafe.

Something was published or presented that shows the diminishing effect on mortality or hospitalisations the lower down the age groups you go .
If say a thousand saved 10 in the older groups it would maybe require 10,000+ save the same in the lower reaches .

Well maybe journalists too as Boris pauses,ers,thumps lecturn and jesticulates.

Imagine looking at him and listening to him speak at any point in the last few years and thinking he is fit to lead the country.

Imagine looking at him and listening to him speak now after the last year's events and STILL thinking he's fit to lead the country.

I cannot imagine how deluded and/or thick you'd need to be to think that.

Right on cue

Covid UK: Teaching unions push for an EVEN LONGER schools closure | Daily Mail Online

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

In fact Covid is safe on surfaces or in the air it’s only dangerous when people are infected

wtf

 

[fernandopartridge]

Johnson yesterday was "really sorry" about the number of deaths. Today he's already setting provisional dates for ending lockdown.

Nothing to do with me guv and what do you expect me to do?
ive already said I regret it

 

[Philosoraptor]

Just about to start...

 

[Philosoraptor]

They want to open schools on 8th March.

 

[Ian1779]

They want to open schools on 8th March.

At the very least it has to be a phased return from that date - or it will just escalate all over again.

 

[Philosoraptor]

Hearing Johnson, he sounds not too confident in the date so I guess this is around where Govt reviews what's going on.

 

[Brylowes]

Poor man

Poor man, he wanted to leave, should have slung the lot of them out and give all the medical attention to those that want it.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Vallance at last saying wait until we have reliable data before jumping to conclusions on efficacy

 

[hill83]

I pretty much typed this out yesterday but changed my mind.

 

[Deleted member 5849]

Poor man, he wanted to leave, should have slung the lot of them out and give all the medical attention to those that want it.

Absolutely. I guess the one justification is he might have been going home to give Covid to a load of other people, who'd then use up resources, but if he wants to go home and die, let him!

 

[Evo1883]

This is fucking horrific

Fuck my life

 

[Sky_Blue_Dreamer]

Well maybe journalists too as Boris pauses,ers,thumps lecturn and jesticulates.

But Johnson pauses AND adds in the er... anyway.

I like jesticulates. Clownish movements to keep up a buffonish persona. Still better than him pausing, thumping the lectern and ejaculating, which seems to be what he spends most of his time doing if rumours have it.

I watched a thing over Xmas about primary school kids looking back at the news. SOme of them were only 4 or 5 and even they were ripping the piss out of him for how stupid he was.
