Well, BoJo went and screwed his political career and any of his party's endeavours to get past the next general election
in power. After bullshitting the public with assurances that the United Kingdom was coming out of the created crisis, that
his private shin-dig last December didn't bend any of the regulations he forced on the masses and they were still looking
into the seriousness of the Moronic Flu, he went and did this.
His Journalist-friends will be toasting his name tonight.

Quote:New Plan B rules on working from home and masks announced for EnglandBBC:
'People in England are being asked to work from home again if possible and face masks will be compulsory in most public
places, as part of new rules to limit the spread of Omicron. Vaccine passports will also be needed to get into nightclubs and
large venues from next week.
Boris Johnson announced the government was moving to its back-up plan of extra Covid rules at a news conference.
"It's not a lockdown, it's Plan B," the prime minister said. He said moving to the tougher measures was the "proportionate and
responsible" thing to do.
The Sell-Out.
Mr Johnson said more is still being learned about new variant Omicron and the picture might get better, but that it "could lead
to a big rise in hospitalisations and therefore sadly in deaths". He said the new variant was "growing much faster" than Delta
and early analysis suggested cases could be doubling every 2.5 to three days.
Under the new rules, face masks will be required in more public settings - including theatres and cinemas - from Friday, and
from Monday, people will be asked to work from home where possible. The NHS Covid Pass will also be required for visitors
to nightclubs, indoor unseated venues with more than 500 people, unseated outdoor venues with more than 4,000 people and
any event with more than 10,000 people from next Wednesday.
But Mr Johnson said Christmas parties and nativity plays should still go ahead - as long as the guidance is followed.
"The best way to ensure we all have a Christmas as close to normal as possible is to get on with Plan B," he said. "Irritating though
it may be, it is not a lockdown." Ministers have repeatedly said there are no plans for another lockdown in England.
Many of the questions the PM faced centred on the row over the Downing Street Christmas party at the height of lockdown rules last
December. Government adviser Allegra Stratton - who was seen with other No 10 staff joking about the party in a leaked video from
last year - resigned just before the news conference, saying she would always regret her remarks.
Earlier Mr Johnson apologised in the Commons for this video, although he said that he had been repeatedly told there had been no
party. The Metropolitan Police has now said they will not investigate the issue, due to lack of evidence. The prime minister denied that
the Plan B announcement was timed to divert attention from the Christmas party, saying the government did not want to delay bringing
in the rules designed to protect public health.
There are currently 568 confirmed cases of Omicron in the UK, figures show - although the UK Health Security Agency estimates that
the true number of infections is about 20 times higher and probably closer to 10,000.
Other nations of the UK - which are in charge of their own Covid rules - have already brought in stricter restrictions similar to Plan B.
Vaccine passports are currently required for venues in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, and people in Wales and Scotland have
already been told to work from home where possible...'
