All the funniest responses to the key points from Boris Johnson’s coronavirus briefing

Work from home

Go to the office to work from home you pigs!

Boris Johnson blaming rule-breakers. Weird how everyone stopped obeying the rules at the exact same time schools reopened and everyone was paid to eat at Nando’s and told to get back to work or risk getting fired from their jobs they'd been successfully performing from home.

Our “common sense” told us to carry on working from home if we could. YOU told us to go back to work and buy some sandwiches @BorisJohnson #covidbriefing

A stitch in time saves nine

‘A stitch in time saves nine’ All those scientists, and it’s Boris’s Granny who’s calling the shots.

‘A stitch in time saves Nan’

Boris missed a trick there

Boris Johnson telling the nation "a stitch in time saves nine" has bought much clarity to a confusing situation – start sewing from within a time loop and nine people on the moon will not die

every briefing the slogan becomes less useful and more something a widow would have embroidered onto a pillow in 1848

There were some less specific comments, too.

I love how right after Boris Johnson's speech, they put on an episode of Would I Lie To You?

In conclusion …

I for one feel reassured that the government have at last recognised that this virus only gets busy after 10pm. It’s also knows if you are at a funeral or a wedding. It can also spot if you can’t work from home or are at school and that it’s always your 7th mate who has it.
