Covid Briefing Catchphrase Bingo

Here's a few of my personal bets for this afternoon's briefing.

'Nobody wants to hear this and I certainly don't want to be standing here telling you but.....'

'Loved ones'

'It's not only in Scotland'

'It's not for me to comment on the complete ineffectiveness of the Prime Minister and his government'

'The doubling time is now estimated at between 30 and 40 minutes'

'No such undertaking has been received and we are consequently at war with England'

What other old chestnuts do you expect wee Nic to trot out later?

i like the testing, it means people who know they have it can keep away from people they know are vulnerable.

Free tests?

Erm. No. They’re not. We’ll all be paying for them. Wonder what mark up is in those provider contracts?

Won't be much I'd imagine, as the contacts were awarded to the Tories pals, and well all know the Tories and their pals are like lots of Mother Theresas.

Eh?

You "know" that the providers of all the testing kits are "Tory's pals"?

Even then.

Many of these companies have been in existence for some time and many are from overseas. He may mean supply chains bud again; even then.

Yes. Virtually all of the providers have donated money to the Conservative party.

It’s public record.

Hope you've downloaded your passport app ready to go, mate? May as well get your money's worth having paid for it. Just copying Nic so he is!
