You can find our new episode of 'So This Week I Watched' available everywhere where you get your podcasts - Apple Podcasts, , etc. Let me know what you think was a social reset for many and despite being critiqued for unrealistic portrayals of high schoolers, everyone can find a little bit of themselves in a character or maybe two.

- the company announcing £57.9m in profits (before tax) on the 20th March, have now laid off 40,000 Weatherspoons staff with no pay for 8 weeks. This company is led by a man with a £300,000+ salary, who told them to go and work at Tesco before breaking the news.

For public health reasons, pubs have been ordered shut amidst this crisis, and this lack of care, decency and regard for their staff makes it clear that new recreational competition is needed when the crisis subsides.

Before being ordered to close temporarily by the government, Tim Martin caused outrage by asserting that 'viruses don't spread in pubs'. His greed to keep profits could have been catastrophic, and endangered many lives had the government not stepped in. To reiterate, this company has an annual turnover of £1.8 billion.

These are not the kind of businesses that the British public should be supporting.

Breaking news: The 'Wellness Beer' is a myth.

I’m sorry for the worlds I’m about to rock: Beer is not a health food. Neither are natural wines or low-proof cocktails. I hope you read the “no sh*t” tone there, but as low-alcohol and active-lifestyle beers target a more health-minded consumer, it bears evaluating how we talk about alcohol...
