Rosie Ramsey cheekily asks for anyone who 'knows Boris Johnson personally' for a local lockdown time frame in instagram post

In a bantering tone, Rosie Ramsey asked the Prime Minister on how long local lockdown restrictions will be in place in the North.

She also said it seemed like the North had been forgotten about, quoting the popular saying ‘out of sight, out of mind’.

On Friday, September 18, the first wave of local lockdown restrictions were introduced limiting where two households could meet.

When the numbers continue to increase, more restrictions were imposed making it against the law to meet anyone outside your household or support bubble in a house, garden or any indoor public venue.

Health chiefs have previously said the restrictions, which are in place in nine local authority areas, will be reviewed on a weekly basis but there has been no guidance or time frame for how long they will be in place.

Posting the tongue-in-cheek video on her Instagram account rosemarinoramsey, Rosie, who has recently released the best-selling book S*****d. Married. Annoyed with husband and comedian Chris Ramsey, asked the Prime Minister for a time frame for people to work towards.

She said: “If anybody does know Boris Johnson the Prime Minister personally. If you could just ask him, from me, really quickly.

"He put where I live on a local lockdown, I think it’s been two-and-a-half weeks, you’re not allowed to see anyone outside of your house at all other than the teachers at school and people in the shops and stuff.

"If you could just ask him how long that’s going to be for because we didn’t really get a time frame.”

Adding: "Boris, any idea how long it’s going to before because you seem to have done it to a lot of places in the North, weirdly, and just forgot that we exist.

"I think there’s a saying that people say a lot: “out of sight, out of mind”. I just think it’s like oh well there’s not that many of them up there, they will be fine, we’ll let them know in a while. But it’s actually really difficult Boris.

"Just a time frame would be nice, just something to work towards. It’d be nice.”
