Sunday shows round-up: Boris – behave ‘fearlessly with common sense’

Boris Johnson – People must behave ‘fearlessly but with common sense’

The Prime Minister joined Andrew Marr this morning, and inevitably the interview began with a focus on Covid-19 and the government’s efforts to suppress the virus. Johnson’s key message for the public was one of stoicism, saying that the virus would still be hovering around for a long time yet, and that the UK needed to adapt itself accordingly:

BJ: We have to keep our economy moving and keep our society going… What we want people to do is behave fearlessly, but with common sense… To follow the guidance, whether national or local, get the virus down, but allow us as a country to continue without priorities… as far as we possibly can.



The road will be ‘bumpy through to Christmas’

Marr challenged Johnson on the impact of the local restrictions to combat the virus, with several council areas in the north of England having introduced still tighter measures over the past week.
