The only 5 reactions you need to the PM’s second wave warning for Europe

Amid a row between the UK and Spain over the reintroduction of a two-week quarantine period for travellers returning from the country, Boris Johnson hinted at the possibility of more such measures.

Prime Minister Boris Johnson says the UK must be "vigilant" as there is a "threat of a second wave in other parts of Europe"

His announcement seemed somewhat hypocritical to many.

These five reactions say it all.

Not here, though.

Our intense Britishness will repel it at the White Cliffs of Dover, where it will gaze upon our indomitable Dunkirk spirit and blue passports, remember how we kicked its arse last time with only 65,000 deaths, and flee, quivering, back to the lily-livered EU. https://t.co/TaRuGF07o2

"We let everyone jet off on their holidays just to help the economy knowing full well our first wave came, not from China, but from everyones half term holiday to Italy, France and Spain. PYSCH! QUARANTINE BITCHES." https://t.co/PAeKc9HYWD

the UK's strategy to avoid a second wave is like avoiding a hangover by starting to drink again the second you wake up – just keep the first wave going and we'll be grand https://t.co/jS5fwkMQiq

This comment from @davemacladd perfectly sums up why people are struggling to follow the guidance.

Boris Johnson really bringing some clarity to his role as PM 👍

Beware a second wave but get back to work…
Get yourself fit but here’s a voucher for Burger King…
Wear a face mask but you don’t have to really

It’s almost like he has to write two articles to make up his mind!
