but he must obey the Covid rules according to BOJO. (As always he's behind Sturgeon with his actions.)
Anyway considering Santa isn't British and Finish as he lives in Lapland why would he obey British rules? Plus he doesn't work with other humans so unless reindeer and elves are carriers of Covid he's OK
Father Christmas WILL deliver presents this year, says Boris Johnson | Daily Mail Online
The Prime Minister has written to allay the fears of children across the country by confirming Father Christmas will be 'packing his sleigh and delivering presents' this year despite Covid restrictions.
Boris Johnson set out the rules Santa must follow in reply to a message from eight-year-old Monti, who had written to the PM asking for clarity on the subject and the help of the UK's top scientific minds.
'Dear Mr Johnson, I am eight years old and I was wondering if you and the government had thought about Santa coming this Christmas,' wrote Monti.
'If we leave hand sanitiser by the cookies can he come? Or will he wash his hands? I understand you are very busy but can you and the scientists please talk about this.'
Mr Johnson shared his letter of reply on Twitter, adding that he had received 'lots of letters about this' and had consulted with experts about the issue.
'I have put in a call to the North Pole and I can tell you Father Christmas is ready and raring to go, as are Rudolph and all of the other reindeer,' wrote the Prime Minister.
'The Chief Medical Officer has asked me to tell you that, provided Father Christmas behaves in his usual responsible way and works quickly and safely, there are no risks to your health or his.'
Mr Johnson also praised Monti's idea to put hand sanitiser next to any treats left for Father Christmas.
Mr Johnson is the latest leader to confirm to the nation's children that Father Christmas will not be stopped by coronavirus.
In October, Nicola Sturgeon was forced to make a promise to Scottish children that Santa would still deliver their Christmas presents - after her top medical advisor said hopes of a traditional festive gathering were a 'fiction'.
The First Minister joked that her national clinical director Professor Jason Leitch would be portrayed as the Grinch on newspaper front pages after he said families should prepare to see loved ones over Zoom because of coronavirus.
She attempted to play down the significance of his remarks at her daily press conference today as she came under increasing fire over a five-tier lockdown system set to be even tougher than Boris Johnson's in England.
