"And the biggest mistake we could make now would be to slacken our resolve at a critical moment"

@UKPrimeMinister @BorisJohnson
9th November 2020

"we must continue to do everything possible, right now to bring the R down."

@UKPrimeMinister @BorisJohnson
9th November 2020

"At the present time, they are no substitute for the national restrictions, the social distancing, hand hygiene and all the rest. So now it’s more important than ever to follow the rules."

@UKPrimeMinister @BorisJohnson
9th November 2020

"Remember the basics, then hands, face, space, and follow the rules. And that’s how together we can protect the NHS, save lives and get the virus back in its box."

@UKPrimeMinister @BorisJohnson
9th November 2020

"It’s more vital than ever now that we follow the basics,"

@UKPrimeMinister @BorisJohnson
9th November 2020

"The more we comply, the more scrupulously we follow the guidance and the rules right now, the better all of our chances of having a Christmas that’s as close to normal as possible."

@UKPrimeMinister @BorisJohnson
9th November 2020

"the point that you make, does show that human agency, collective action, all of us pulling together really can work"

@UKPrimeMinister @BorisJohnson
23rd November 2020

" I’m acutely conscious that no other peace time PM has asked so much of the British people & just as our country has risen to every previous trial, so it has responded this time and I am deeply grateful"

@UKPrimeMinister @BorisJohnson
23rd November 2020

" But what we don’t want is to throw caution to the winds and allow the virus to flare up again, forcing us all back into lockdown in January. "

@UKPrimeMinister @BorisJohnson
23rd November 2020

"But this virus obviously is not going to grant a Christmas truce."

@UKPrimeMinister @BorisJohnson
23rd November 2020

"2020 has been in many ways a tragic year, when so many have lost loved ones and faced financial ruin, and this will be still a hard winter. "

@UKPrimeMinister @BorisJohnson
23rd November 2020

"everyone can help speed up the arrival of that moment by continuing to follow the rules .... remembering hands, stay, space, and pulling together for one final push to the spring"

@UKPrimeMinister @BorisJohnson
26th November 2020

"we must first navigate a hard winter, when the burden on our NHS is heaviest and the cold weather favors the virus. "

@UKPrimeMinister @BorisJohnson
26th November 2020

"If we ease off now, we risk losing control of this virus all over again, casting aside our hard won gains and forcing us back into a new year national lockdown, with all the damage that would meet.

@UKPrimeMinister @BorisJohnson
26th November 2020

"I’m sorry to confirm that from Wednesday, most of England will be in the top two tiers with the toughest measures. "

@UKPrimeMinister @BorisJohnson
26th November 2020

"But there’s no doubt that the restrictions in all tiers are tough. And I’m sorry about that. "

@UKPrimeMinister @BorisJohnson
26th November 2020

"And I have no doubt that together, we can get through this winter, suppress the virus until vaccines come to our aid, and then we can reclaim our lives"

@UKPrimeMinister @BorisJohnson
26th November 2020

"what we want to avoid is relaxing now too much, taking our foot off the throat of the beast now when we’ve got it pretty much in a much, much better place than it was before the autumn measures"

@UKPrimeMinister @BorisJohnson
26th November 2020

"You’ve also got to make sure that you’re following the guidance and doing all the right things, as the people of Liverpool were, and indeed people are doing across the country. "

@UKPrimeMinister @BorisJohnson
26th November 2020

"it depends, I think as Chris and Patrick have really tried to stress in this session, on all of us being commonsensical, and doing the right thing. "

@UKPrimeMinister @BorisJohnson
26th November 2020

"I think it’d be probably fair to say that it wasn’t just the testing that was a success in Liverpool. It was the way everybody seemed to pull together to do the right thing, and to get the virus down."

@UKPrimeMinister @BorisJohnson
19th December 2020

"it is with a very heavy heart, I must tell you, we cannot continue with Christmas as planned. "

@UKPrimeMinister @BorisJohnson
19th December 2020

"Obviously, people should follow the guidance."

@UKPrimeMinister @BorisJohnson
19th December 2020

"I think the police have done an amazing job of enforcement... They’ve handed out lots of FPNs.. for breaches of the rules, but they’ve also helped to keep people overwhelmingly in line"

That is all.

So I am going to go back in time

To winter 2020

I could go back to 15th July 2020

But I don't have the energy

I am tired

There is just so much to wade through
I am not bitter

I am angry

Angry at the ongoing eternal shitshow that is the United Kingdom

So with over 150,000 dead PRIOR to "Freedom Day"

And over 15,000 dead an "acceptable" cost for "Freedom Day"

On @RishiSunak and an #AgeOfOptimism

I pity him

Reduced to such trite bullshit

When was the last "Age of Optimism"

Who declares it such an age?

Why did it end?
Here is @BorisJohnson 's "Age of Optimism" in 2017

thetimes.co.uk/article/boris-…
Here is @BorisJohnson again on his "Age of Optimism"

Not only that age

But we are being held back by “pessimists at home and abroad.”
