Boris Johnson asking people to take personal responsibility is like Boris Johnson asking people to brush their hair.

Oh God! The PM is suggesting that we rely on common sense. This is the country that panicked & phoned the police when KFC ran out of chicken. #DowningStreetBriefing

Thankfully in Boris Johnson, Priti Patel, Matt Hancock, Gavin Williamson and co, we have some excellent role models in taking personal responsibility.

I’m not sure that a population that panic buys bog roll in a pandemic where symptoms DO NOT include the galloping shits, can be entirely trusted with ‘personal responsibility’.

I love being told to take personal responsibility by a man with more children from failed relationships than he's willing to see or even admit to.

"Hello, this is your captain, Boris Johnson, speaking. Now, if you happen to notice me making my way to the aircraft doors, wearing a parachute, don’t worry. Just take personal responsibility for flying the aircraft. Cheers. Please stop screaming."

‘Exercise your best judgement’ says Boris Johnson to country that elected him Prime Minister.

Emma Kennedy had this feasible suggestion.

Can’t shake the feeling that, exactly like Brexit, our Prime Minister is just bored of COVID and can’t be bothered with dealing with it for a second longer.
