I know some just don't like him and while agree they were slow to act....

That was a great address from Boris, he layed it straight out especially needed for selfish types like we've seen here

A great, but much need address

This is a backtrack from Boris. Nothing less. He f*cked up in the first place. Some people on here are delusional.

Yeah he fùcked up monumentally at the start but he is doing the right thing now.

We are keeping keeping on with thick cùnts allowed mob around with no consequence.

jk23 · 23-03-2020 08:38PM

We usually copy the UK in political moves so I say we can expect a similar move here..

How are you possibly comparing us with a country with nearly 350 deaths? It's a ridiculous comparison. You can't compare countries in this scenario.

Lockdown announced in the UK

Good luck with enforcing that in some of the London boroughs, the army will have to be deployed

Yes, more balls but no brains, they are doing this because they acted too late.

Give over.

It's not a full lockdown. They're still letting people out to exercise and go to work.

Jaysus, it's as close you can get.

Once a day for exercise and work only if you can't work for home.

No gatherings.
What more do you want?

Wombatman · 23-03-2020 08:39PM

Fair play to Bojo. Straight and to the point.

Good speech by Boris Johnson.

It just shows how vacuous Leo Varadkar's address to the nation was, where he addressed the nation and with nothing new.

LV's address was a catchup and rallying call and that's all.
Spoilt by the cliches but it is what it was.
Next one he should drop the vanity and give us the real deal

dickdonk14 · 23-03-2020 08:39PM

Time now for leo to step up and shut ireland down.

Indeed, and having an extra freezer has been a big help this week.
Fresh food is starting to run low, been in isolation for a week now. Hoping that wife gets her swab result tomorrow. If all clear I will be able to get those stocked up again.

Need fruit/veg/milk, for the kids, more than anything.

Is there a neighbour who could do it for you?

Ireland took action a long time ago! Step by step.
Schools. Paddys day. Pubs. Strong social distancing push.

Boris has tried to do it all... in one lump.
and is way too late.

If we follow suit.., it’s ANOTHER step in our process. Not the bloody first step!

It's a mammoth backtrack.

Literally the opposite of their initial Herd Immunity strategy.

Doubt we will be hearing that horrid phrase again.

Mike3549 · 23-03-2020 08:40PM

But but.. herd immunity...

This was the guy a few weeks ago was shaking hands and encouraging people to go to football games.

Now his herd immunity has failed, and their numbers are bad, why worse than Ireland's and he's to take extreme measures.

Doesn't take long for peoole to turn on our government after saying what a great job they were doing.

But the UK did it so we should...

We're now much looser than UK. People cannot crib about UK now. Our own house is not in order.

branie2 · 23-03-2020 08:41PM

Boris Johnson made a great speech. Let's hope people heed him.

Andrew00 · 23-03-2020 08:41PM

We'll do the same here tomorrow

How many deaths do we need?

ACitizenErased · 23-03-2020 08:41PM

People praising Boris here need to take a look in the mirror. This man is just after performing a massive backtrack after making a major f*ck up as if nothing happened.

Restaurants, cafes, coffee shops, horse racing all still going on though. Hows the "Strong social distancing push." Going?

Ireland needs to follow the same as the UK now.

iwillyeah1234 · 23-03-2020 08:42PM

i never thought he'd do it - but by god - the UK is now on full lockdown.

Not even WW2 was that restrictive.

This is incredible.

The UK has literally entered "war mode"
