The Prime Minister of the UK, Boris Johnson is to hold a news conference at 4pm today and is expected to announce that Her Majesty’s Government are cancelling Christmas via law.

It is expected that Boris will announce London and parts of the South East will be thrust into tougher Tier 4 restrictions which will make it illegal for families to gather indoors.

The Prime Minister has been holding “emergency” talks with Cabinet members due to the one dimensional scientists within his circle now scare mongering about a mutated version of the supposed coronavirus which they claim spreads more easily and much faster.

Chris Whitty, the Chief Medical Officer of the UK commented, “There is no current evidence to suggest the new strain causes a higher mortality rate or that it affects vaccines and treatments although urgent work is under way to confirm this.

“Given this latest development it is now more vital than ever that the public continue to take action in their area to reduce transmission.”
