Leading contender for takedown of the week comes courtesy of Four Legs, a pop-up restaurant operating out of the Compton Arms pub in Islington, north London.

This dog’s uncanny ability to distinguish a snack from any old rubbish is next level stuff
Dogs’ hearing is – Google, Google – around four times more sensitive than human ears, plus, they can hear a lot of higher frequency sounds, obviously.

Laurence Fox has got himself a ‘mask exempt’ badge – only 7 responses you need
the poke - 1 month ago
Occasional actor and wannabe politician Laurence Fox – no, stick with us – was trending today after he pictured himself wearing the ‘mask exempt’ badge he ordered from Amazon.
Hard to believe we know, but he appears to be even more pleased with himself than he already was.
After a long period of consultation with myself, an extended review period and proper due diligence conducted with myself, Ive received the badge that I ordered from Amazon. Thank you for being there for me. #anxietypic.twitter.com/D3bp3M7kY9
That mention of a ‘long period of consultation with myself’ and an ‘extended review period and proper due diligence conducted with myself’ suggests he’s not taking it entirely seriously. That and he bought it off Amazon, obviously.
And it prompted no end of responses as you might imagine and we’ve read them all so you don’t have to.
1.
I have severe lung fibrosis as a result of sarcoidosis. I'm extremely vulnerable to the virus. I have l limited lung function but wish everyone would wear a mask, like I do whenever I go out. What's your excuse for putting me at risk?
Love that youre taking the piss out of people with actual anxiety disorders (like me) and increasing the actual risk so we dont want to go out – thus driving up our anxiety.
What a contribution to society.
PS. I always wear a mask. Its a bit of cloth. Grow up.
So, remember all #NHS staff, if he ever turns up at A&E with breathing difficulties, Laurence Fox is exempt from wearing a face mask. Respect his wishes & give the oxygen mask to somebody else. #Covidiotspic.twitter.com/fwUzQAz0bO
