Boris’ Friday announcement24 Jan 2021 22:52
On Friday I really thought the covid news was turning for the better. The vaccinations were doing well, case numbers and deaths were falling, the most at-risk groups were being protected, and the borders were being secured against imported cases. I thought maybe there was light at the end of the tunnel, and that the share price was rising on hidden good news.
Then at 5 o’clock Boris scared the life out of us again just after the markets closed.

I’m hoping he’s being over cautious so he can claim some kind of victory if things don’t turn out so bad. I’m sick of him and his flip-flopping and scaremongering to keep us locked down. It doesn’t bode well for the SP, or any other hospitality firms on Monday. His message didn’t need to be so bleak, where is the inspiring leadership this country needs? Sorry for being political, I did actually vote for the clown
