The Battle for Britain | 18 December 2020

‘I’m living in the present.’
‘Well, if you’ve been a naughty boy, Santa might just bring you one.’
‘I’m dreading Christmas. Now that lockdown’s relaxed I’ll have to see the bloody grandkids.’
‘I remember when this was all Europe.’
‘God rest ye merry gentlemen and ladies, non-binary, transgender, gender neutral, pan-gender, a-gender…’
‘We’re following the science.’
‘Support bubbles have been such an important part of this year.’
‘I’m not allowed in the delivery room.’
‘Round robins are all the same after a year of lockdown.’
‘They don’t know we’re coming – I want it to be a surprise!’
‘Tried it… Overrated.’
‘How’s the wine, dear? I hear it packs a bit of a wallop.’
‘Oh no, it’s the tinfoil hat man!’
‘Isn’t it boring when people tell you how they got here?’
UK government angel
‘And in the interests of balance, we also wish you a thoroughly miserable Christmas.’
‘I need to take your temperature.’
