Grayling Brushes Off Failure & Clarifies Face-Mask Confusion

Posted on 16/07/2020 by a resident of Beckworth

Breaking political news just in… A slightly tipsy Chris “Failing” Grayling has just told reporters stationed all night outside his local pub that he’s not bothered about not getting the job of Head of World Security (promised to him by his life-long BBF Boris Johnson) as he’s instead going to head up the UK’s Covid response unit. He said this role suits him down to the ground, lots of TV appearances and visits to reopen pubs, bars and swanky restaurants and if he ****s up as usual the PM will cover up for him, just as he did for his other BFF Dom Cummings. In his first statement since becoming the “interim” head of Covid he sought to clear up any silly misunderstandings about whether to wear face masks in food shops or just supermarkets, Mr Grayling said “as a rule thumb, face masks, hats and gloves don’t need to be worn in any food emporium that sells caviar or sandwiches with the crusts cut off… Because the Covid disease only effects the poor and they don’t go in such high end establishments.” At last some clear guidance, thank you Sir Chris.

Your Favourite Local Pub Re-Opens As A Pub Today

Posted on 04/07/2020 by a resident of Beckworth

This is a message to all of you wanting to get bladdered at a social distance because you’re fed up of the people you’ve been in lockdown with for three bloody long months… At long last your number one pub can stop being a second-rate farm shop and get back to serving warm ale and our old out-of-date snacks. Yes, we’re reopening at 5pm today… We’ve converted the car park into an extra beer garden so we can serve hundreds of drunken customers, we’ve closed the family room (we’re banning kids for now as they are the ones spreading the virus) and the toilets are out of bounds so please spend a penny before you visit us… To put us in a post-virus party mood our very own ex-BBC DJ Kid “The Kid” Jenson has made us a few mix-tapes to play, but be warned anyone dancing, singing or talking loudly will be barred. On a positive note anyone wearing the clobber of a frontline worker will get entered into a prize draw to win some of our least favourite flavoured crisps (whilst stocks last). See you this evening!
