#JAMIEOLIVER

The Cockney chef is to host a new Channel 4 programming of recipes for the coronavirus age.

@executiverocker said: “If this new Jamie Oliver show isn’t showing us how to make a meal for 5 in 20 minutes using ingredients found in a half empty Spar then he can [CENSORED] off.”

@welshdalailama tweeted: “Looking forward to Jamie Oliver’s new coronavirus cookery show which will be 30 minutes of him lording it up in his massive mortgagefree house wondering why you’re all so worried, before presenting a tin of ravioli and drizzling it with an olive oil and lisp froth jus.”

@tristandross said: “Jamie Oliver is forced to admit affordable frozen food has its uses, every day for a week.”

@msthain – and others – felt Jack Monroe was being slighted: “That’s a dreadful thing for @Channel4 and @jamieoliver to do UNLESS they’re getting @Bootstrapcook involved! Years she’s been supporting people by doing this very thing! And you steal the idea?! Seriously?!”

@Teaguejaime agreed: “I am such a @jamieoliver fan, I have all his books, but this job is not for him. Somebody with some genuine experience of cooking like this is needed. It really should have been @Bootstrapcook. Disappointing!”

#WETHERSPOONS

Pub chain boss Tim Martin said it would be ‘over the top’ for the government to order that bars close because there had ‘hardly been any transmission” of infection in pubs’.

@piersmorgan vented: “I just heard Tim Martin, owner of Wetherspoons, say on @Skynews there has been ‘very little transmission of the virus in pubs’. How the [ANOTHER CENSORED] does he know? This is insane stupidity from a reckless selfish millionaire putting money before health. Don’t go to Wetherspoons.”

@Bethhtfc said: “Must be the end of the world if i’m agreeing with Piers Morgan.”

@Misslauramarcus said: “Of course #Timmartin wants you to go to the pub... and of course you shouldn’t. Not his pub, not any pub.”

@Hazz23m said: “Tim Martin putting money before health of his staff and customer.”

@Lynnlynneeb asked: “Can you triple boycott something? First because of his public views on Brexit, then workers’ rights, now social distancing.”
