It didn’t take long for people to figure out a work-around to new pub restrictions

Pubs selling food can stay open under stricter Merseyside lockdown rules - but is there a hack?

Scheming Brits were quick to figure out a work-around to the new restrictions today following announcements that pubs in certain areas would only stay open if they can operate as restaurants.

Accusations of cronyism rang out after it was revealed chains such as Wetherspoons could escape temporary restrictions in Merseyside because they serve food as well as drink.

Pubs and bars have been ordered to close in the six boroughs that make up the city region but Mayor of Liverpool Joe Anderson has said restaurants will be able to remain open until 10.30pm.

It means you will only be able to buy alcohol in such establishments if you have food with it.

But it didn’t take Brits to figure out a work-around. Take a look below for some of the sneaky suggestions:

5 pints larger… 10 jägerbombs…. 2 gin and tonics… bottle of wine…. 5 sour shots…. 5 corona and a sex in the beach…… or and a straw for when I snort crack in toilets….. oh nearly forgot and a side of garden peas please.
Cheers fella.

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
