Boris Johnson has begun his plan to ease the lockdown with a rather confusing request to "stay alert," causing us to wonder if he even knows how a virus works? Also, are the Tories trying to pass the blame for coronavirus spread onto the people? Grab a drink and let's chat in The Virtual Pub - the perfect podcast for those who miss going to the pub in this particular pandemic.

Also on this week's episode:

  • We pick the biggest pricks of the week - including Dan Hodges at The Daily Mail, another person who wasted supermarket delivery slots for tonic water and champagne and The Freedom Movement (which we found out after recording is owned by Britain First's own criminal Jayda Fransen
  • Another lightning round of good news - including the mayor of Flavourtown himself and a kid detective who handed over $100,000 back to the police
  • And we sign off with another classic pub quiz
