Scunthorpe Sans

Scunthorpe Sans is a font that sensors swear words:

How this s*** works:
Modern fonts can combine
letters into a single ligature,
usually for things like fi or fl
but you can pick anything
so we've done it for swears.

Thousands take to streets to demand all restrictions are removed, despite experts warning of an "exponential growth" in new cases.

Those pesky experts and their warnings.

"The loosening measures were far too poorly prepared." Karl Lauterbach, a professor of epidemiology

And this is in a nation that has handled the pandemic far better than the UK has. If Germany are feeling the effects within days of relaxing their lockdown despite having around a quarter of the number of deaths, just imagine how much worse it's going to be here. People have been partying over the bank holiday weekend, parks have been full and even the restrictions are supermarkets are not being enforced as strongly as they were before.
