Before Boris makes ANOTHER life ruining announcement, here’s 23 memes about the last one

Tier 4: Tier Fast Tier Furious

6 years ago

Maddy Mussen | Trends

London is in Tier Four, the borders are closed, FTSE’s fallen by 33 billion and Christmas is cancelled. This country we call home has well and truly gone to shit and we can’t pretend we’re handling it “just as badly” as any other place right now… we’re so much worse. We’re the embarrassing family member. We’re literally the cousin that got too fucked on Christmas eve to make it to Christmas dinner. We’re throwing up in the toilet right now. We’ve missed out on the Quality Streets and the presents. It’s done.

But, as with all terrible news in this hellish year, there is one respite: memes. You have to bless the British public for taking to their keyboards in times of strife and spitting pure fire to keep us warm in the cold, dreary days ahead. Word has it there’s a fourth lockdown on the way too, so we need these memes more than anything right now. From Yorkshire Tea to Matt Hancock crying, it’s really all we have left.

Apologies for this dear viewers – I was at the end of a long shift after a 5am start when the director cut to me by mistake. The perils of live TV! https://t.co/hBp36V7JIQ
