#COKE

Portugal footballer Cristiano Ronaldo pointedly removed Euro 2020 official sponsor's Coca-cola bottles that were placed in front of him at a press conference and drank water instead.

@HTLCO tweeted: “The disgust in Ronaldo’s eyes when he spots the Coke is magic.

That man’s body is a temple."

@jondavies wrote: “How can you not love this guy. He’s a generational talent and a role model to kids all over the world. With one simple gesture he’s saying that if you want to be like me then don’t drink Coke, drink water. Very powerful.”

@__Utfr replied: “Apparently he’s not done any adverts for fiizzy drinks/fast food for a few years now and has said he regrets doing them in the past and said in an interview his kid will never be a great player like him if he doesn’t stop drinking soda and eating French fries.”

@bubs36 added: “Coca Cola couldn't have paid for the amount of publicity they are receiving from this”

#DISGRACEFUL

Boris Johnson said it was ‘disgraceful’ that BBC reporter Nick Watt was angrily confronted and pursued by mask-less antilockdown protesters.

@hopenothatewrote: “These are disgraceful scenes. But this isn't a new phenomenon – abuse & violence has been aimed at Anna Soubry, Owen Jones, Ash Sarkar and serious threats of violence have been made against MPS. This situation demands action before it gets even worse.”

@frederickchespy added: “The Metropolitan Police should have dealt with this much more firmly and invited a few people back to Charing Cross police station custody for lunch.”
