Rashford is indeed a national hero .
Except it turns out that lots of people think that Amazon and its owner Jeff Bezos is a national something else .
Jeff Bezos , as if you needed reminding , is the world @ @ @ @ @ @ @ fortune of around US $ 193 billion ( £148 billion ) .
A spokesperson for Amazon told the HuffPost that the firm delivered 1 million free breakfasts to UK school children in May in a partnership with charity Magic Breakfast .

Here’s the hugely entertaining moment the so-called president cut short the chat, complaining about ‘tough questions’ and stuff like that.

NASA got everyone excited this week by telling everyone they ’ ve got a big announcement to make about the Moon .
While we wait to find out exactly what that is – you can read some of the funniest guesses here – a small but vocal minority of people are still denying we ’ ve ever been there at all .

It would take thousands of laser lights smaller than they could have possibly made to get clear non bending shadows like in those pictures and they would have had to be white when almost all lasers of the time were red .
They would also need computer editing to remove any wires used to imitate the low gravity and that technology didn ’ t exist yet either .

Oxford Street in London, on a Saturday in October, is usually packed to the gills due to Christmas shopping.
This weekend, however, it was full of people who are likely to pass on something far less pleasant than some fluffy slippers for Aunty Doris – Covid-19.
An estimated 5000+ crammed into the street with no masks, shouting about their rights to breathe on whomever they like – although you’d think they’d save it for people they don’t like, given the potential consequences.

Lee Hurst isn’t the first former celebrity to declare his distaste for mask wearing, nor is this his first declaration, but his boast about flouting coronavirus rules got a lot more attention than he’s used to these days.

As cases of coronavirus rise, spare a thought for the people having to ‘fess up about infecting others. It’s no laughing matter. Oh, wait – yes it is.
There’s nothing so awkward that Foil Arms and Hog can’t get a laugh out of it.
Here are a couple of comments people left for the guys.

One unexpected consequence of the pandemic has been the number of shop signs that have caught people’s imagination with the funny – and invariably brutal – ways in which they tell covidiots to put on a face covering.
This is one such sign, shared on Reddit by MrCocaKoala that went viral because, well, have a read for yourself.
As you’ll be able to tell it’s in America (Oakland, specifically) but the sentiments are universal.
And just a few of the things people had to say about it.

Spare a thought for US news anchor Ben Bradley, who has the misfortune of having the same name as Conservative MP Ben Bradley.
Bradley – the Tory MP – made a bit of a name for himself this week after he caused outrage by linking free school meals with ‘crack dens’ and ‘brothels’.
A Conservative MP has said that free school meals are effectively a direct payment to brothels and drug dealers. Notwithstanding the fact that the vouchers in summer could only be used to purchase food, this stigmatisation of working class families is disgraceful and disgusting. pic.twitter.com/0gvieYM4a9 — Angela Rayner (@AngelaRayner) October 23, 2020

When Donald Trump boasts about the jobs he has created, we have to assume he means in the fact-checking sector, because those poor souls have got their work cut out every time he speaks – or tweets.
However, the President seemed to reveal an accidental truth during his most recent rally, in Pennsylvania, when he spotted some “nice trucks“.

Even the most cursory glance at Twitter over the last few days would have alerted you to the curious phenomenon of Tories telling poor people why they’re wrong to say their children are hungry, via the medium of *checks notes* cookery tips.
A perfect example is this breakfast recipe from MP Dominic Farrell.
Twitter wasn’t impressed by his – or anyone else’s – blinkered advice, and the #ToryFoodTips hashtag was born.
It’s a smörgåsbord of humour and scathing owns. Feast your eyes on these:

It was ‘Japan week’ on The Great British Bake Off so the Department for International Trade naturally saw an opportunity to boast about its recent trade deal with Japan.
Except it didn’t end quite as well as they would have hoped.
Here’s the government department’s tweet which started the whole thing.
Except that wasn’t quite right, as lots of people were only too happy to point out.
Current tariff on soy sauce entering the UK from Japan – 0%. Tariff on soy sauce entering UK after UK-Japan trade deal – 0%. Not a good look when you can't trust a government social media account to tell the truth. https://t.co/IVH5Qg8LtV — David Henig (@DavidHenigUK) October 27, 2020

You know we’re in trouble when… – You realise this tweet is from the actual Gov trade account – Praising the Japan deal because it covers soy sauce – Which we already get at a 0% tariff via EU – They spell it SOYA https://t.co/ZTE3hYl5dr — Marina Purkiss (@MarinaNigrelli) October 28, 2020
Current tariff on soy sauce = 0%
Tariff under new deal = 0%
In other words, the best we can manage right now is to brag about standing still. https://t.co/EPiqDq9qRC — Parody Boris Johnson (@BorisJohnson_MP) October 27, 2020
Just when I think I can’t be more embarrassed by our government they start pronouncing soy sauce like they’re Super Mario https://t.co/XaXXcr154D — James Felton (@JimMFelton) October 27, 2020
So whoever runs the department’s Twitter account thought they’d better do a clarification. Of sorts.
But it didn’t really help matters too much.

To clarify: this is only relevant to soy sauce from Japan, not the EU, where most of it is currently imported from, with whom we continue to have no trade deal, with just over two months to go. https://t.co/3Tze03PEQ2 — Tom Peck (@tompeck) October 28, 2020
1/ The EU has an agreement with Japan so at best this is the same as before. 2/ You said WTO would be fine.

How do you surprise people after two weeks of health screenings and quarantine? — Ibrahim Froman (@inkredibleHAK) October 27, 2020
Perhaps Kim’s nearest and dearest aren’t all the sharpest tools in the shed. Who knows?
if Kim Kardashian’s closest friends underwent quarantine and medical tests for 2 weeks without questioning why, and then were all ‘OMG A HOLIDAY TO A PRIVATE ISLAND JUST TO FEEL NORMAL, WHAT A MASSIVE SURPRISE’ then I would suggest they get sent for more tests but MRIs this time — Sorcha Ní Nia (@Luiseach) October 27, 2020

It’s a very funny watch, in an utterly exasperating kind of way, but probably wouldn’t have been quite such fun back in 1990 had we known what would happen 26 years later.
Our favourite bit is him complaining about the interviewer’s ‘inaccurate demeanour’ but the whole thing’s a treat.
It went viral on Reddit after it was shared by jcepiano and these are just some of the things people said about it.
‘The only noticeable difference is Donald was a little bit more articulate way back then.’ Nospastramus ‘He hasn’t changed his playbook in 30 years !

Wales is currently having a circuit-breaker lockdown – or a “fire-break”, as they’re more reasonably describing it.
Only essential shops remain open, which means people can still buy food and medication, but supermarkets have been ordered to prevent people buying “non-essential” items …which is open to interpretation.
Wales have truly taken this second lockdown too far. Blocking off & sealing up “non essential” items in all stores so all we can buy is food. We can’t read, we can’t write, we can’t buy clothes, no birthday cards.. nothing 😳 pic.twitter.com/fcJdX8e6G0 — my sweet coco🕊 (@mysweetkoko) October 23, 2020
For a short period – pun intended – sanitary products appeared to be included in the ban.

While the shop later explained that the area had been cordoned off after a break-in, Tesco’s Twitter account responded to Katie with this now-deleted tweet:
Comedian Jason Byrne shared this video of the news about the Welsh lockdown, but he added his own hilarious – but mildly NSFW – voiceover.
