Well, many Brits are adamant that he should be GOING.
Watch the entertaining Jonathan Pie expressing the views of most of us, over this fiasco...

“Boris”, “Cummings”, “integrity”… They can’t go into the same sentence without a negative in between.
It’s all “Specious sophistry” as someone put it, which is a great phrase under the circumstances, I think!
A friend sent me this poem today (I don’t know who wrote it; I wish I could say it was me, but then I wouldn’t be able to post it here on General Talk).
There was an old Tory called Dom
His wife called, she needed to vom.
"We're likely contagious,
But lockdown won't cage us!
Let's drive north and visit your mom".
So into the car they all piled;
The Tory, the wife and the child.
To mom's residential,
A journey 'essential'
And symptoms apparently mild.
Then after Dom's fever and plight,
His vision just wasn't quite right.
"Opticians? Such hassle
Let's drive to a castle.
It's crucial for testing my sight".
So into the car they all piled;
The Tory, the wife and the child.
A nice birthday outing for lockdown-rule-flouting,
And Covid The Killer just smiled.
(After driving 260 miles-plus, could anyone actually believe he drove a further 30 miles to Barnard Castle
to check if his eyesight was OK? Does he take us all for idiots?)
