Burger King UK’s official Twitter account has urged its fans to order from competitors like McDonald’s in order to support the restaurant industry as England enters a second national lockdown due to the COVID-19.
“We never thought we would ask you to do this, just as we never imagined we would ask you to order from KFC, Domino’s Pizza, Subway, Five Guys, Greggs, Papa John’s, Taco Bell and other independent food outlets, too numerous to mention here,” the statement said.

During the first lockdown in March, restaurants including McDonald’s and Burger King closed, and were allowed to reopen in July.
Under the new restrictions, which come into force at midnight on Thursday, hospitality venues are able to provide takeaway and delivery services
