NIGEL FARAGE GOES TO THE PUB AND DOES NOT QUARANTINE AFTER US TRIP TO SEE TRUMP
NIGEL FARAGE GOES TO THE PUB AND DOES NOT QUARANTINE AFTER US TRIP TO SEE TRUMP
The Brexit Party leader posted a picture of himself on Twitter as he sipped on a pint of lager in his local pub after doors were opened again this morning after lockdown measures were eased
Nigel Farage denies he's broken quarantine by visiting his local pub after US trip
Nigel Farage was today accused of going to the pub less than 14 days after returning from a trip to the US, flouting quarantine rules.
However, the former UKIP leader has rubbished the claim, insisting he has been back in the UK for two weeks.
He also claimed to have received a negative coronavirus test result.
The Brexit Party leader was lambasted on social media after saying he was the first customer in his local boozer as it opened its doors to the public at 12pm.
Wearing a wax jacket, a checked shirt and clutching a beer in his right hand, Farage posted a picture of himself on Twitter as he enjoyed his first sip.
He captioned the photograph: "12 o'clock, first customer in. Love it," suggesting he was the first punter through the doors when the pub reopened today.
But Farage could be in breach of lockdown rules after claims he returned to the UK from the US less than two weeks ago.

Farage was pictured on Saturday, June 20, at Donald Trump’s campaign rally that evening in Tulsa, Oklahoma, which suggests he did not return to the UK until June 21 at the earliest.
At the time, it was confirmed that Farage had been granted exemption from the US travel ban to attend the rally because the visit was deemed ‘in the public interest’.
But nothing was mentioned about the rules he’d have to follow on his return.
The requirements for 14 full days of isolation on his return to the UK mean that, if that timeline is correct, he should be in isolation until at least tomorrow.
The latest government guidance says the British travellers are permitted to return to the UK but must follow the rules for entering the UK again.
On the government’s website, it states:
“You
- need to provide your journey and contact details up to 48 hours before you’re due to arrive in the UK
- are not allowed to leave the place you’re staying for the first 14 days you’re in the UK except in very limited situations (known as ’self-isolating’).”

The website also lists a number of people who are exempt from either or both of these rules.
Lib Dem acting leader Ed Davey has today written to Kent Police to ask them to investigate whether Nigel Farage has breached quarantine rules.
Mr Davey said: "There are clearly serious questions to answer for Nigel Farage.
"It is clear from his social media posts that he was in American on June 20th, and he was pictured at a Trump Rally that evening.

"Given the current requirements for visitors returning to the UK to isolate for 14 full days on their return, Nigel Farage appears to be in violation of the quarantine.
"It is a responsibility of everyone to take the lockdown requirements seriously in order to stop the spread of the virus. By choosing to go to the pub when it appears he should have been staying at home, Mr Farage is showing a flagrant disregard for the safety of people in his community.
"I have written to Kent Police asking them to urgently investigate the timeline of Mr Farage's travel and ascertain whether he has breached quarantine rules."
Some of the people replying to Farage’s tweet questioned whether he should be in the pub at all.
One wrote: “Look at me - aren’t I clever, sticking up two fingers at the establishment by breaking quarantine rules after visiting a country Brits are banned from visiting!”
Farage later posted on Twitter: "To all those screaming and shouting about me going to the pub.... I have been back from the USA for 2 weeks and I have been tested — the result was negative. Sorry to disappoint you. Cheers!"
Mirror Online has contacted Nigel Farage for comment.
Farage's tweet comes as the UK enjoys further lifting of lockdown restrictions today, a day dubbed 'Super Saturday' as many pubs and restaurants begin to open their doors.
Early this morning, Wetherspoons customers were queuing outside their local watering holes, some in the early hours of the morning in a bid to be front of the queue for the first pint.
Others came off late shifts and headed straight to the pub for a full English breakfast, washed down with a beer.
Wetherspoons has revealed a number of rules that customers will have to observe going forward, including queuing up outside, operating a 'one in, one out policy' and ordering food and drinks on the company's app to avoid unnecessary contact with staff.
Menus will be one use only, after which they will have to be recycled.
Hand sanitiser stations have been set up around the pub and tables have been set out specifically according to social distancing rules, or with 'sneeze screens' as added protection.
Large groups will not be permitted, instead people can gather with members of only one other household.

A total of £11million will be invested to introduce safety screens at counters - while two new full time workers will be hired per branch.
Another big pub chain decided against opening its 1,700 premises today.

Greene King, which runs Hungry Horses, Chef and Brewers, Wacky Warehouses and other large brands, will instead conduct a phased reopening of its pubs and restaurants.
The first of its pubs and restaurants will reopen on Monday July 6, Yorkshire Live reports.
A spokeswoman for the company said: "We welcome the news that pubs, alongside other hospitality venues, can reopen from next month. Pubs play an important role at the very heart of their communities and have been sorely missed by customers as well as those who work in them.
"We look forward to welcoming back customers to our pubs and providing that great hospitable pub experience we all love."
Meanwhile, customers can expect price hikes as pubs try to recoup their losses and finance all the extra PPE and health and safety measures they have put in place.
Wetherspoons confirmed that beer, spirits and wine will be going up by 10p, while food items will increase by 20p.
In Samuel Smiths pubs, the ramped up prices are a little more eye-watering, with their lagers now £1 more expensive than before lockdown.

thedailymirror--2020-07-04--Woman forced to hide at home after filler fail left her with 'baboon's bum' pout

A woman who claims her lip filler treatment left her with a pout resembling a `` baboon 's bum '' is urging people to do their research before going ahead with cosmetic procedures .
Olivia McCann , 21 , said that during a dissolving treatment , her lips were massaged so hard they `` looked like they were about to pop . ''
At the time , the beautician undergoing the work reportedly assured Olivia that there was nothing to worry about and that the swelling was normal .
But upon leaving she was so embarrassed by how they looked @ @ @ @ @ @ @ days and refused to answer video calls from her boyfriend in fear that he would n't `` fancy her again '' .
Olivia , who works as a flight attendant had the treatment just before the coronavirus lockdown was put in place , being forced to take two days off of work because of how bad the swelling was .
But this is n't the first painful experience that Olivia has had .
Over the last two years she has had a number of procedures at different salons that have left her with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ filler .
Now , Olivia from Chorley , Lancashire , is sharing her story in the hopes to encourage people to do their research before risking it all .
She said : `` The woman massaged my lips so hard after putting the dissolver in that they went white , they looked like they were about to pop .
`` My lips were triple the size they should be .
When I went into the reception to pay the people sitting there waiting to get their lips done were probably looking at me @ @ @ @ @ @ @ `` I was embarrassed driving home and I had to put my sunglasses on , my lips looked like a baboon 's bum .
I did n't feel like I could go out looking like that so I just stayed at home , it was awful .
`` I did n't even want my boyfriend Harry to see me , he was FaceTimeing me and I was declining him .
I thought 'if you see me like this you 'll never fancy me again ' .
`` I rang my friend and she @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ca n't believe you look like that ' . ''
Olivia first starting experimenting with lip filler in April 2018 , when she paid £230 for 1ml spread across her top and bottom lips .
She loved the results when she first had them done , so decided to pay £150 for a 0.5ml top-up six months later - but that 's when things started to go wrong .
Olivia started noticing pea-sized lumps in her lips that did n't budge no matter how much she massaged them .
As a gesture of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ product for free .
But instead of fully dissolving her lips like what was suggested , Olivia claims the beautician injected the lumps themselves .
Olivia explained : `` I 'd asked for my top lip to be a bit fuller but instead of trying to create a cupid 's bow shape she just sort of jabbed it straight in all over the place .
`` The pea-sized bumps came up a few days later .
My lips were a lumpy mess , they did n't look right at all .
`` I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ pictures as I thought my lips looked silly , they looked like they 'd been stung by a bee . ''
She added : `` I 'm a girl getting lip fillers to try to look nice and then it went the opposite way , no amount of massaging would shift the lumps .
`` Two weeks later I went back but instead of dissolving the full lip she just stuck the dissolver into the lumps , then told me to massage them when I got home .
`` She tried to blame @ @ @ @ @ @ @ lumpy because I had n't massaged them , which I had .
`` People think lip fillers are painful , but if you 've had them dissolved it 's a whole different pain .
`` I 'm good with pain but when I got them dissolved my eyes were streaming , I think it 's the worst thing I 've ever felt . ''
In 2019 Olivia underwent another lip fill treatment which was successful .
So she decided to try filler elsewhere , but was told she would need to have residual @ @ @ @ @ @ @ this procedure that her lips were injected with dissolver and vigorously massaged - a combination that Olivia claims caused her lips to rapidly balloon .
Olivia said : `` When I went to them [ the salon ] they said they could n't use [ it ] on my lips and give me what I wanted unless I had my lips dissolved .
`` She put the dissolver in and she massaged my lips so hard - it was the worst out of all dissolvings I 've had pain-wise .
`` They went @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for days and when they did go down they were really lumpy and uneven - a proper mess .
`` I emailed work a picture and they agreed I could n't go in looking like that . ''
Now that her lips are lump-free and filler-free , Olivia is going ahead with the procedure again - despite the previous lip filler fails .
She has chosen to go to a salon which regularly posts examples of their work , has good reviews from their customers and where the work is carried out by @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Even though I 've had all the bad experiences , I still feel more confident in myself having them done .
`` Recently I find myself over-drawing my lips , I do n't feel as comfortable with my lips [ now ] because I 'm used to them when they 're a bit plumped up .
`` After what I 've been through I would n't trust my face with anyone apart from someone who 's medically trained and who 's been doing it a long time .
`` My advice is to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 's going to take the time out of the appointment to sit you down and talk to you about what you 're getting done .
`` They should have good work they can show you and people who you can speak to who have had a good experience .

thedailymirror--2020-07-04--Kevin Pietersen's Twitter account locked after threat to slap Piers Morgan

Kevin Pietersen has been blocked from Twitter following a row with Piers Morgan over whether pubs in England should have reopened .
The retired cricketer ’ s account has been locked – apparently for violating Twitter ’ s rules against abuse and harassment – after he threatened to slap the controversial TV presenter .
In a tweet which Morgan has acknowledged as a joke , Pietersen wrote : “ @ piersmorgan I slap you when I see you !
That won ’ t be nonsense !
” A screenshot of Twitter ’ s explanation read : “ You may not @ @ @ @ @ @ @ … This includes wishing or hoping that someone experiences physical harm.
” Reacting on the platform , however , Morgan called for Pietersen ’ s account to be reinstated : “ Amusing though this is , it was an obvious joke.
” Morgan explained that “ I don ’ t feel remotely harassed ” and taunted Pietersen , saying that the batsman “ can ’ t slap his way out of a paper bag ” .
The dispute began when Morgan attacked the UK Government for the timing of their decision to loosen @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Good Morning Britain presenter wrote : “ Reopening Britain ’ s pubs on a sunny Saturday in July was dumb enough .
Letting them open from 6am is stupefyingly stupid .
“ Does anyone at No10 have a brain ?
Or do they just want us all to die ?
Serious questions.
” Pietersen , who turned 40 last week , responded that he believes it is safe for pubs to open .
He tweeted : “ Average age to die is around 80 !
Small % death rate .
Stop your nonsense @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Morgan ’ s comeback , accusing Pietersen of talking “ nonsense ” , that elicited the supposedly abusive response from the ex-England star .
Pietersen – who rose to fame when England won the Ashes in 2005 and captained his country for a short spell – now describes himself as a conservationist , having been axed from England ’ s squad under controversial circumstances in 2014 .
Morgan , an outspoken sports fan , was a prominent defender of Pietersen at the time .

Morgan explained that “I don’t feel remotely harassed” and taunted Pietersen, saying that the batsman “can’t slap his way out of a paper bag”.
The dispute began when Morgan attacked the UK Government for the timing of their decision to loosen the coronavirus lockdown in England.

The Good Morning Britain presenter wrote: “Reopening Britain’s pubs on a sunny Saturday in July was dumb enough. Letting them open from 6am is stupefyingly stupid.
“Does anyone at No10 have a brain? Or do they just want us all to die? Serious questions.”Pietersen, who turned 40 last week, responded that he believes it is safe for pubs to open.
He tweeted: “Average age to die is around 80! Small % death rate. Stop your nonsense, fat boy!”
It was Morgan’s comeback, accusing Pietersen of talking “nonsense”, that elicited the supposedly abusive response from the ex-England star.
Pietersen – who rose to fame when England won the Ashes in 2005 and captained his country for a short spell – now describes himself as a conservationist, having been axed from England’s squad under controversial circumstances in 2014.
Morgan, an outspoken sports fan, was a prominent defender of Pietersen at the time.

Aidan O'Brien celebrated a record eighth investec Derby as Serpentine led all the way to spring a 25/1 shock.
One of six runners for the top trainer, the outsider raced well clear of the pack and was kicked clear up the straight.
It soon became apparent the rest of the field were playing catch-up as the maiden winner kept on well to score.
Fellow outsiders Khalifa Sat (50/1) and Amrhan Na Bhfiann (66/1), also trained by O'Brien, took second and third.

McNamara said: "I think I got a little bit of a freebie. I had huge amount of confidence in the horse having spoken to Aidan during the week.
"He said he was a horse that is going to stay a mile and six well.
"He said jump, go your own tempo and just from halfway, from the six to the five, give him a breather.
"He said he'll keep going and he was right.

"All I could here was the horse breathing. He was in a good rhythm. He was relaxed and I couldn't hear a thing around me.
"I didn't want to be looking. I wasn't sure, but I knew I was a few (lengths) clear all right.
"It's a bit surreal. I can't believe it."
O'Brien said: "It's unbelievable really. He has some pedigree and we always thought he would stay well.
"Wayne (Lordan) won on him over a mile and a quarter at the Curragh last week and he galloped straight through the line. He went an even pace and Wayne said he couldn't pull him up.

"We were happy he wasn't going to stop and go an even pace. He wasn't going to come back. He's another home bred by Galileo. It's incredible really.
"He always had the Derby pedigree.
"He took a bit of time to come last year and just had the one run. Then this year he had his first run at the Curragh over a mile and a quarter and was hemmed in and couldn't get out.
"But he won very impressively last week. There was no doubt with his performance the last day he had to take chance.
"I'm absolutely delighted for Emmet. He gave him an incredible ride, so I'm over the moon.

"They all run on their merits and we give them the best instructions for each horse to win the race.
"He stayed well and there was no point waiting with him with no pace.

Roblox, which is advertised as free-to-play, is used by more than 100 million people worldwide.
It is a platform where people can create and join hundreds of games.

He said initially he "thought nothing of it", but when he set up online banking during the lockdown he was stunned.
Mr Cumming told the BBC: "I couldn't understand it. I thought I'd been scammed."
He said his daughter thought she was playing with monopoly money, and fumed: "How can these companies be allowed to trap minors in these games?"
The game generates cash through in-app purchases.

After seeing the vast sum missing from his account, Mr Cumming contacted HSBC to cancel his card - but claimed a further £1,000 later left his account to be paid to Roblox through Google Pay.
In a statement the game makers told the BBC that it does try to avoid children racking up huge bills like this.
It said: "We strive to prevent unauthorized purchases, by taking measures such as not storing billing information, and work directly with parents to provide appropriate refunds whenever possible, which is the case in this instance."
It added that it encourages parents to "review their payment settings on third-party services, such as Google Play, as they typically have an option to require a password for each purchase".
