From midnight on Friday, Manchester and parts of Lancashire and Yorkshire have been under new restrictions following a rise in coronavirus cases.
Residents didn’t have very much notice, with the announcement being made just over two hours earlier by Matt Hancock via a Twitter thread.
1/4 We're constantly looking at the latest data on the spread of coronavirus, and unfortunately we've seen an increasing rate of transmission in parts of Northern England. — Matt Hancock (@MattHancock) July 30, 2020
He even explained the cause of the renewed outbreak.
3/4 The spread is largely due to households meeting and not abiding to social distancing. So from midnight tonight, people from different households will not be allowed to meet each other indoors in these areas. pic.twitter.com/Yy7wLbdh9V — Matt Hancock (@MattHancock) July 30, 2020
Although “indoors” implied, well, indoors – it seems it only referred to homes, rather than businesses.
NEW: Source in DHSC confirms (contrary to earlier steer) that emphasis of new guidance will be on household transmission (so no going to houses of family/friends). It WILL be allowed to meet with others in pubs/restaurants BUT govt is "encouraging vigilance" in these settings. https://t.co/cAookYBP9g — Lewis Goodall (@lewis_goodall) July 30, 2020

It began when a landlady responded to a tenant who had the temerity to begin a message with ‘Hey’.
She didn’t like it, it turns out, so they did this.
‘My landlady told us not to say “Hey” to her, so my friend helped us draft a message instead …’ said @kweenofkatz on Twitter.

Most people are happy to wear masks where it is sensible (and occasionally mandatory) during the pandemic.
But a small (ish) minority of people are determined to resist what they see as unnecessary, inconvenient, and possibly even harmful. Such as journalist and broadcaster Neil Clark, who had this to say on Twitter.
We don’t know the tweet he was referring to, but we’re not here for that. We’re here for these.

If pants were necessary for our survival as a species we would have evolved them by now. We haven't. We have genitals and butts. We have butt holes.

Poor analogy. Of course I get into cars. But we have airways for a reason. Blocking them up unnecessarily for no rational reason is not natural.

And, in the interests of balance and all that, there appeared to be plenty of replies supporting him. Like this person.

The Lincoln Project is a group of *checks notes* Republicans trying to get rid of Donald Trump.
They’ve been running a campaign against the President largely consisting of reporting things he’s done or said – which, when you think about it, means that Trump is campaigning against himself.
The Lincoln Project’s latest release is a savagely funny takedown of the Leader of the Free World, via a fake Sir David Attenborough voiceover.
Enjoy.

thepoke--2020-08-03--A restaurant in Greece has come up with the perfect way of dealing with scrounging “influencers”

In the days following the reopening of restaurants in England , there were several reports of social media “ influencers ” trying to get free meals in exchange for publicity via their accounts .
Of course , influencers do this all the time , but a lot of people were surprised they ’ d try to pull the same stunt with food outlets that are struggling to stay afloat .
The lovely lot over at Bored Panda shared Reddit user Chamallow81 ’ s story , which illustrates why it shouldn ’ t have come as a surprise .
Originally shared @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the person explains that their family has a restaurant on a Greek Island .
They get messages like this from the aforementioned influencers .
But they ’ ve come up with an ingenious way of dealing with the scroungers .
Is that not brilliant ?
If the influencers took them up on the offer , it would also be extremely generous .
Redditors left a lot of comments , including these that we thought made some great points .
Most of the people who actually have influence have influence in one specific area @ @ @ @ @ @ @ OFFERING for them to use their product .
If you ’ re at a level where you ’ re begging to “ influence ” for their product , you have very little actual influence .

Although it was praised by lots of fans and critics, the BBC revealed a number of people had also complained about the episode. Here’s what it had to say on its complaints website, highlighted by @scottygb on Twitter.

If you’re on social media – and who isn’t? – you’ve probably seen #AITA at some point, which means “Am I the asshole?”
There’s a whole subReddit devoted to the genre – and people’s judgement of whether or not these people are ‘assholes’.
It’s usually something along the lines of “#AITA for banning my mother-in-law from the christening after she complained when I named the baby Keanu Reeves John Wick O’Reilly?” or “#AITA for naming my baby Keanu Reeves John Wick O’Reilly?”
The answers are “No” and “No”, btw.
Over on Twitter, film fan Tim Byrne set people a challenge.
He added his own example.
I (F25) abandoned my boyfriend (M37) at a train station, leaving him nothing but a vague note, after I discovered that my supposedly dead husband was actually still alive. AITA? — Tim Byrne (@TByrne75) July 30, 2020
That’s Casablanca, in case you hadn’t guessed.
And this is what they came up with. We’ve put the film titles at the end, in case you were stuck on any of them.

I (21F) got engaged to a prince (45M) after my fiance (21M) was killed at sea 3 years ago. Then I was kidnapped and a mysterious man rescued me from my kidnappers (35M/40M/46M) and I argued with him, only realizing he was my first fiance after I pushed him down a cliff.

I (M36) was arrested with some 'random' dudes (M38), (M29), (M45), (M28). We ended up doing some crimes together, but they all were killed by a criminal mastermind (M36) during or right before a big heist. By luck, I survived and was released after police (M43) cleared me.

I (M56) took in a guttersnipe (F19) to tutor and refine. Was originally not interested in having a relationship with any woman, but I find I've grown accustomed to her face. Called her ungrateful bc now she wants to leave to marry some fop (M25) and teach what I taught her. AITA? https://t.co/vh3mtKCWRz — Dr. Frey-Bolton (@fat_walda) July 31, 2020

I (M37) loot a gold Inca figure, then burn down the Nepalese guesthouse of the daughter (F26) of my former mentor to obtain an ancient Egyptian relic he had.

I (M37) am an inspector for the EPA. Recently I ordered the shutdown of an unlicensed laser containment system operating in a disused fire station. Apparently the catastrophic release of paranormal energy is somehow MY fault, not the fault of the bozos running the place. AITA? https://t.co/tqiZFewSAE — Benno (@jeamland) July 31, 2020
7.
I (200-ish m) got into a relationship with a self loathing younger man and when he threatened to leave me, I adopted an orphan and raised her to be a cold blooded killer who turned on me, thus angering the cult I helped create and they murdered her.

I (M42) am an irresponsible man child who recently got divorced and lost the custody of my 3 children.

AITA? — Brett Gerlt (@BeardyBrett) July 30, 2020

I (M21) have an affair with my parents' friend (F45). Then, I get set up with her daughter (F20). I fall for her. Hard. She breaks up with me. Gets engaged to another guy. I can't get over her. I start stalking her. I move to her college town. Waiting outside her classes. AITA? — Dan MacD (@danmacd) July 30, 2020

My uncle killed my dad & married my mom. So I (M30) went crazy (or not), drove my GF to suicide & killed my two BFs 'cause they were trying to kill me (or not). GF's brother & uncledad tried to kill me again, & they sorta killed my mom, so I killed them 1st. Then I died. AITA? — Ixy (@TheOtherIxy) July 30, 2020

I (F25) saved a man (35s) from being hit by the subway and now he’s in a coma and I told his family I’m his fiancé so I wouldn’t feel lonely for the holidays. Now I can’t tell them the truth or it will kill grandma and I’ve fallen in love with his brother (30s). AITA? — Erica Rydholm (@Ericaryd) July 30, 2020

I (M35) never wanted to be in the family business, but ended up in charge anyway. My older brother resents this, and nearly got me and my wife killed in our home. If I plan to have him killed once our mother dies WIBTA? — Kate (@TheAgentSculder) July 30, 2020

My (28M) soulmate (20F) won't marry me because I said that she's not that hot, that her parents are losers, that her sister is a slut, that her other sister is dumb, that her other sister is boring, that my BFF can do better than her other sister, and–shit.

Ross Kemp is probably best known for his long-running stint as tough guy Grant Mitchell in Eastenders, but has subsequently taken the documentary world by storm, investigating gangs and criminals, up close and personal.
On Monday night, however, it was clear he’d come off worst in an unexpected encounter with some visitors in his loft.
