Kent is set to be fenced off and littered with lorry parks, as the UK prepares for the effect of an enormous increase in red tape once the country no longer shares regulations with the EU.
The latest news on the progress was shared on the front page of a Kent newspaper, with one councillor in the Leave-voting county saying:
“This is not an opportunity for the Remainers to have a go.“

It’s just a few days since Marcus Rashford, Manchester United’s 22-year-old striker, was awarded an MBE for his efforts to fight child poverty.
A large part of his fight was with the UK government, who had refused to extend the free school meals voucher system over the summer break, but relented after pressure from Marcus and the public.
We’re now getting a weird sense of déjà vu, as it looks like the fight is on again.
So, Boris Johnson has flatly rejected @MarcusRashford call for free school meal help to be given to poor kids over Christmas and other holidays. No.10 spokesman: “It’s not for schools to regularly provide food to pupils during the school holidays…" — Paul Waugh (@paulwaugh) October 15, 2020
Here’s Marcus’s reaction.
Merry Christmas kids… It’s also not for food banks to feed millions of British children but here we are. 250% increase in food poverty and rising… This is not going away anytime soon and neither am I… https://t.co/dCwT07WShz — Marcus Rashford MBE (@MarcusRashford) October 15, 2020
He then started a petition to put pressure on the House of Commons to debate the issue – and it was well on its way to 200,000 signatures at the time of writing.
Remember when I said I was going to need your help… For the millions who do not have the platform to be heard. Let's stand as a 'United' Kingdom to #endchildfoodpoverty Sign the petition today: https://t.co/FvvpO6JYWX — Marcus Rashford MBE (@MarcusRashford) October 15, 2020
Yvette Cooper – along with many of her parliamentary colleagues – wasn’t impressed by the hardline stance, either.

This prank went wildly viral on Reddit and does exactly what it says on the tin. Or strictly speaking, jar.
‘Super gluing a pickle jar lid and asking buff guys to open it,’ says TomNookTheCook who shared it on Reddit.
And just a few of the things people said about it.
‘Everyone wants to be a pickle jar hero.’ hazeleyedwolff ‘You can tell the last guy has never lost to a pickle jar and wasn’t going to start today.’ MLoyd64 ‘I like that they took the pickles to the beach just to mess with that one guy.’ meteorknife ‘The best plot twist would have been switching it with a jar not superglued and then having a child passing by open it.’ bunnyrut

It’s scripturally asinine, too. They leave out the 2nd half of the sentence, “but you will not always have me.” It wasn’t a commandment to preserve poverty for all time, it was urging a sense of proportion, and saying that it’s not necessary to become ascetic to help the poor. — Susieus Maximus (@SusieusMaximus) October 19, 2020

AS the US election date draws nearer – 15 days and counting – the internet becomes ever more awash with frantic displays of loyalty for the President, who is currently behind his rival, Joe Biden, in the polls.
Kirstie Alley, star of Cheers and Look Who’s Talking, is a known Trump supporter, but her most recent pronouncement on the topic raised some eyebrows, dropped some jaws, and got Twitter fingers flying across the keyboards.
Writer and director, Ed Solomon, pointed out a major flaw in her argument.
He is, by definition, a politician. And he’s in a political campaign to remain head of a political party. https://t.co/rxvsShuCoH — Ed Solomon (@ed_solomon) October 18, 2020
While fellow actor, Cary Elwes, spelt out exactly what it is that the “non-politician” has achieved as president.
.@kirstiealley Let me explain. No, there is too much. Let me sum up. @realdonaldtrump is responsible for over 200k Americans dead, 10.7mil jobs lost since Feb & a Superspreader event at WH that had more cases than New Zealand Vietnam & Yemen combined. Real smart #DumpTrumperdinck https://t.co/FZPBCGWUAV — Cary Elwes (@Cary_Elwes) October 18, 2020

It began when comedy writer and author Jim Felton went on Twitter to ask people to share the rubbish nicknames they gave people to distinguish someone from another person with the same name.
What’s the worst descriptor you’ve heard added to someone’s name to distinguish them from someone with the same name? In school had a Ben, a Big Ben and a Paedo Ben. He wasn’t a paedo, we just found out he attended scouts. — James Felton (@JimMFelton) October 18, 2020
And it prompted lots and lots of responses. Here are our favourites …

Two Tim Williams, best friends. We called one of them Rib because he was slightly thinner than the other one. He became a doctor so we called him Dr Tim. But then the other one also became a doctor so he went back to being called Rib. — Andy Ryan (@ItsAndyRyan) October 18, 2020

There were two Dans in my year and one of them was very popular and the other one, I found out, was known as ‘Shit Dan’. — Mark Watson, always banging on about this novel (@watsoncomedian) October 18, 2020
4.
We had Big Chris and Little Chris, but then Little Chris left to be replaced by a much bigger Chris. But Big Chris, now the smaller of the two Chrises retained the honourific, which added significant confusion to operations. — Anonymous Barry (@barrybehaved) October 18, 2020

There was a girl from Neath who joined our sixth form in Barry who we called Welsh Tracey. There were no other Traceys (it was mostly a boys’ school) and we were all Welsh. She just had a Welsher accent. — Simon Price (@simon_price01) October 18, 2020
6.
Not a distinguisher necessarily but there was a guy at school known as “staker” which I thought meant he was a bad boy stabber or something. In fact it was “steaker” in reference to the kidney he had to have removed as a child as in “steak and kidney pie” — The Earl of Leuven (@EarlofLeuven) October 18, 2020

I once knew two families both with the surname Bell. One family went to church and the other, were a little rough round the edges. One family were church Bells the other Hells Bells — kathy. (@skybluebint) October 18, 2020

My son has several friends and a brother called Jamie. We distinguish them by changing the J for the first letter of the surname – hence Samie, Famie and Namie. Brother Lamie isn’t keen on the labelling. — Nom de Plume (@pen_ame) October 18, 2020

The Dan Wootton/Chris Bryant spat is quite a thing, isn't it?

Nicola must have an advantage where footwork is concerned, right?
However, there was dissent from a fairly predictable corner – the former Brexit Party MEP, Ann Widdecombe.

How on earth does virgin Ann Widdecombe know what families want to see? Does she sneak around and peep through windows watching families watch TV?

This is a long shot, but my guess would be that most families would be happier watching a same-sex couple dancing than hearing what rancid sack of festering horse piss, Ann Widdecombe, thinks about anything.#Strictly2020 https://t.co/T9NSnBqNka — Parody Boris Johnson (@BorisJohnson_MP) October 19, 2020

Graham Hughes had this update.
I watched Strictly with my family and now we're all gay. Not only that, everyone on my street watched it and they're all gay now as well. 8 million people watched it, all gay now, even the ones who were already gay. Next year's Pride is going to be EPIC. 🏳🌈🥳🎉🍾 — Graham Hughes 🇪🇺 👊🤠 (@EveryCountry) October 19, 2020

Donald Snr. clearly isn’t the only member of the Trump family who feels victimised by social media platforms.
On Sunday, Donald Trump Jr. took to Instagram to imply his posts were being limited by the platform, as opposed to just being unpopular.
He added this caption:
“In IG jail. Watching my post get about 20% of what they were getting last week so if you want turn on post notifications that way maybe you’ll at least see my stuff.”
It wasn’t just Instagram coming under suspicion.
Twitter has been throttling my reach and I’m getting 1/3 the amount of RTs I would normally get. Instagram is doing the same & worse for the last few days. I guess they don’t want the truth about the Biden crime family out there and they will cover for them at all costs. — Donald Trump Jr. (@DonaldJTrumpJr) October 18, 2020
The clip found its way to Twitter, where it got all the attention he appeared to be craving.
