Clickbait Headlines





Clickbait link. Boris Johnson's hair was his normal faux unkempt style of course, but that doesn't make a headline. 

As for the rest of it, Guardian readers appear to need rules, rules, rules and Mr Johnson didn't really give them that except in outline form. He couldn't of course because that's the point - as we return to normal, the lockdown rules become more general and less specific. 

The dear old Guardian seems to cater for people who are afraid of this - hence the clickbait headline. They also seem to be afraid of Boris even though he's on their side.

  1. As some wag tweeted this morning, all those people who became instant epidemiology experts a few weeks ago now seem to be struggling with the word "alert".
