What happened on 1st April 2023

I kept in my mind that today is April Fool's Day, while reading Saturday headlines. So there is a hope that some negative news would be announced pranks tomorrow.


 

Thus, the Telegraph front page runs that the President of the USA won't be attending the King's Coronation.

And still quite a number of Twitter users considered their duty to speak out against Joe Biden.

The Mirror offered a collection of the best jokes and pranks as they happen:

and replaced Old English Sheepdog with a King Charles Spaniel on the Dulux paint brand


 

McDonald's has presented Big McNugget Boot which their followers renamed nUGGIES.

Ant & Dec duo announced their joining the James Bond franchise

All pranks were revealed by Twitter followers. Yet, the McDonald's ones were more concerned of absence of the breakfast wrap and the mini wraps.

The Guardian, however, was not in a joking mood when reported that UK firms fear the worst as energy bill support ends. British users also agree that it's no laughing matter:

"As of today my gas and electricity will cost an extra £800.00 a year. That's a bit more than a month's State Pension."

"The US led sanctions on Russia hurt us more than them. Our politicians expect us to be poorer and colder so energy companies can make record beating profits. Why aren't people angry?"

"It is great to be a lackey to the residents of Washington DC. No price is too much to pay for this honour. When will they blow up our wind farms to make more profits."

Meanwhile, some readers are sceptical over the news, "It is great to be a lackey to the residents of Washington DC. No price is too much to pay for this honour. When will they blow up our wind farms to make more profits."

Monday started with a scandalous news by BBC that ' More than 100 Metropolitan Police officers being investigated for sexual misconduct are currently working without restrictions .' Those heroes of January revelation that 'the Met has announced that a total of 1,633 cases of alleged sexual offenses or domestic violence involving 1,071 officers and other staff are also being assessed from the last ten years to ensure suitable judgements were made' have come back into focus.  That undeniably is sad and vicious. And it leads to the following Tuesday news about the 363-page final report into the Metropolitan Police after a month-long review. But made after Jeremy Hunt's budget speech analysis by independent think-tank Resolution Foundation that ' Britons are £11,000 worse off per year due to 15 years of stalling wages which have failed to keep pace with rising prices, a leading think tank has warned ' has become most painful statement of Monday.   "£11,0...

On Thursday, the UK public continued discussing a figure of former Prime Minister Johnson. This time, it concerned the inquiry into whether he deliberately misled parliament over partygate . This theme gained media attention from domestic and international media. Yet, many of them considered that it could be an end of Johnson's political career.   This day all of us also were able to estimate tax returns of Rishi Sunak and Keir Starmer ... And to admire the fact that our Prime Ministermade £1.9m last year alone. The majority, however, had come to conclusion that "it shows nothing of value, because tax returns generally don’t, and were never going to. This whole tax return bollocks is shite anyway, it’s a yank problem imported across here to apply meaningless pressure to British politicians. People who thought this would help anything have no idea what a tax return actually is." Almost everyone had quickly realized that the UK current Prime Minister is out of touch w...

On Sunday , British Government suddenly remembered about vile grooming gangs molester young girls in several UK regions and decided to take measures against them, years later the first complaints came; Passport Office workers began five-week strike from Monday in row over jobs, pay and pensions; Britons got infuriated by the question by the Tory MP, why not take a holiday break in the UK to avoid the delays into France? And do not forget Suella Braverman with her 'milking loophole.' On Monday , Rishi Sunak told what he announced to tell a day ago, we learned about criminal proceeding initiated because of an elderly lady's death of hypothermia last December, and Royal Mail apologized for 'nasty' April Fool's Day prank telling striking staff everyone was getting an 11% pay rise. On Tuesday ,  we learned that British hostages abroad aren't problem of British ministers, the earlier people die - the better unexpected windfall for the UK pensions, and discussed t...
