Wearing a bikini, and four other things you won't miss this summer

LOCKDOWN is predicted to end sometime towards the end of the century. But at least that means there’s a summer off doing all this: 

Buying swimwear

Last year’s swimwear was awful so you have to buy new, except three weeks of binge-drinking, eating and watching has taken a toll. Imagine after three months, after the novelty of exercising from home wears off once you realise nobody can see you. Not even tummy-control bikini bottoms will save us this year.

Sunburn

Being trapped inside gifts us all a year off ice-packs and after-sun. Even the garden’s in shadow from the neighbours’ bloody leylandii. Sunburn will only be available to those who pass out on the front lawn, which will be 20 per cent of us by June.

Hats

The sun forces the best of us into headwear we would never normally be dickheaded enough even to consider. But no panamas, trucker hats or straw boaters this year. Sit indoors and ram ice-cream into your face hatless and unashamed.

Shaving

Men can grow the Rasputin beard of their hipster dreams. Women can skip shearing day altogether, and walk round the house as goat-legged as the god Pan.

Loading the car boot

No holidays mean no games of bag Tetris in your car boot. So enjoy the break from sweating your way down the M5 with no rear view and a beach umbrella pointing intimidatingly towards your left eye.

Immigrants coming here, running our health service, saving our bloody lives

ACROSS Britain, people are ranting about the bloody immigrants coming here, becoming doctors, nurses and surgeons, saving us from a pandemic. 

Though it might not be politically correct to say it, Britons are not willing to keep quiet any longer about all the heroic immigrants who are frontline health workers risking everything to keep our country safe.

Retiree Julian Cook said: “Well I’ve been telling people for years, but they were always hoodwinked by the so-called ‘fair and balanced’ media.

“But there’s no hiding from it now. We’ve seen the true colours of these people who come to our country, qualify as medical professionals and work tirelessly to protect us all hours of the day and night.

“And it’s not just the doctors. There’s the pharmacists, the supermarket staff, the delivery drivers, even the takeout restaurants. Everywhere you look there’s an example of immigrant heroism. Makes you sick, how it’s previously gone unacknowledged.

“It’s no wonder the Home Office won’t be letting them in after Brexit. We don’t deserve them, after what f**king racist idiots we’ve been for years.”

He added: “They saved the prime minister. It’s like I’ve always said: God bless ‘em.”
