Facebook, Whatsapp, Instagram, Messenger. All down since midday.

On the plus side, maybe it'll stop the morons screaming about petrol stations having a delivery to all & sundry and maybe, just maybe, the south east will get out of this ridiculousness

I reckon it's all Boris fault?

Well, without wishing to go down the path of the conspiracy theorist, all the revelations about Facebook's supposed priorities (profit over people, duh) that have come out today just makes for amazingly convenient timing.
