Boris Johnson has apologised again for breaking covid lockdown rules at Downing Street, as Sue Gray’s investigative report was handed down

The U.K. Prime Minister says he “full responsibility for everything that took place.”

The report clearly indicates that the blame for the illegal gatherings during the nation’s strict lockdowns lies on the top of the Government, Boris Johnson.
 
A total of 16 gatherings were investigated in the critical report that Johnson and his staff attended in 2020 and 2021.
 
Gray concluded there had been “failures of leadership and judgment in No. 10”.
 
However, Johnson has continued to deny that he knowingly broke the rules he set.
 
Now, Johnson wants to put it all behind in and is determined to carry on as Prime Minister saying he’s “humbled” and has “learned a lesson”.
 
However, it might not be that easy, as he faces renewed calls the resign.
 
Critics say the Prime Minister misled Parliament and the people of the United Kingdom.

Why Elon Musk was booed on stage

New Twitter boss Elon Musk did not receive the warmest welcome at Dave Chappelle’s recent comedy show

Elon Musk appeared embarrassed at Dave Chappelle’s recent San Francisco comedy show, when the audience began booing him.

A mixed reaction from audience members at the show. Some cheered as Chappelle welcome Musk onto the stage, but it was impossible to notice many booing him.

It’s no surprise though, given San Francisco is the home of Twitter HQ, and the place where Musk just fired thousands of staff.

It comes as the controversial new boss makes drastic changes to the social media platform.

 “Sounds like some of those people you fired are in the audience….

Don’t say nothing. You hear that sound, Elon? That’s the sound of pending civil unrest.”

After trying to joke his way around the awkwardness for Musk, Chappelle finished the show with some words of wisdom and a prayer.

“Booing is not the best thing you can do. I wish everybody in this auditorium the joy of feeling free and may your pursuit of happiness set you free. Amen.”

However, Musk has since responded to the booing from the crowd insisting it “was 90% cheers & 10% boos (except during quiet periods), but, still, that’s a lot of boos, which is a first for me in real life (frequent on Twitter).”

A new report reveals the world will see an increase in so-called ‘zombie viruses’ that are emerging beneath us

A new report by scientists at the French National Center for Scientific Research has revealed the global threat of ‘zombie viruses.’ As climate change continues to take effect, the earth is undeniably getter hotter.

Global warming essentially means significant areas of permafrost are now melting. Permafrost is a frozen layer on or under the Earth’s surface, holding beneath it millions of ‘zombie viruses’ not seen in millions of years.

The now melting permafrost means it is lifting the veil on potentially dangerous microbes that human kind isn’t prepared for.

In Siberia, the scientists uncovered a ‘zombie virus’ which they believe is 50,000 years old. This would be the oldest age of a frozen virus returning to life and able to infect.

Researchers are concerned about the global health impact if the earth continues to warm at its current rate.
