    Social distancing

    https://twitter.com/joepike/status/1300712402691002368

    NEW: An apology from Defence Secretary Ben Wallace after he was filmed shaking hands on Downing St.

    Spokesperson:
    ‘The Secretary of State recognises the mistake and apologises for slipping up. He know the importance of social distancing and will be extra careful in future.
    Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

    I'm so glad no-one bleats about me on twitter when I forget my face mask or such like.

    People are human and are likely to forget every now and then. To have to issue an official apology every time is a bit silly.

      Ah, but leaders lead, people follow by example, the Cummings doctrine...Personally I have never forgotten my face mask and we've been wearing them for over 5 months now, haven't shaken hands with anyone (elbow bumps only) nor have I been on holiday to a foreign country. You'll get used to it

        Simple mistake and quick apology.

        It's not like he was infected and violated quarantine to drive to another area of the country to potentially spread the infection to elderly family members and the general public and refused to apologise.

          Or went around a hospital shaking hands with everyone, including Covid patients, and then boasting about it.

          And then ending up in ICU.

            I envy you. Oh, hang on, scrap that...
            His heart is in the right place - shame we can't say the same about his brain...

              At least if they're busy apologising, they're not busy fecking everything up to hell and back

                Boris Johnson Accused of Hypocrisy Over Speech to Packed Tory Meeting - Bloomberg

                At least 50 Tory members of parliament crammed into the parliamentary meeting room on Wednesday evening for the meeting, despite a sign on the door warning only 29 should be allowed in to limit the spread of coronavirus. And Johnson even commented on how he wanted people to be packed together in the same way by Christmas, according to two people at the meeting.

                While some observed social-distancing rules that individuals should be more than a meter apart by taking seats that were spaced out, later arrivals “crammed” together at the back of the room to hear Johnson, according to three people present, who asked not to be identified because the meeting was private.
                Half an hour after this meeting:

                    So despite his recent brush with death (Death, unfortunately being busy at the time), the fat useless Bozo has done his best to spread CV19 amongst the ERG Government followers.

                    Someone email Death, quick, see if he can fit a couple of dozen in, like.
                    When the fun stops, STOP.
