Hypocrisy, thy name is Tory

[asthfghl]

I'm writing this just as the Euro 2020 (yeah, you read that right) final is about to begin in London. England is excited because they believe they'll become European football champions for the first time - notice, just as they've left the European Union. The irony! Of course they could win if the English synchronized diving team led by Raheem Stirling manages to get under the referee's skin once more, and earn a couple more penalties. But let's not forget whom they're playing against. Italy. You know, Italy. Don't you ever presume to teach Italians about diving, m'kay?

More importantly for England though (not sure if you're happy that this is the more important England-related news or not), the Brits are obviously fed up with all those masks and restrictions and stuff. They've obviously started ranting and complaining more than usual about all this, so the ruling Tories, led by yet another genius who looks as if he's carrying a strange dead animal on his head (yeah, another one), you know, the same Tories with the "traditional values", but a Made-in-England version, have decided masks are indeed no longer necessary. Because people are ranting about it. Yeah. Smart, isn't it?

See, they've explained they're now relying on people's common sense and personal ethics to keep protecting other people and themselves, even if it's no longer compulsory. I'm sure this will go well. That new Delta variant of the virus be damned. It must've missed the news that people in England are oh so responsible.

I'll have to give it to Mr Genius, though. He's being a consistent Tory, the most consistent one there is. He waits to learn what people want to hear, so he gives it to them right away, the moment they require it. No matter of the consequences. Just like Brexit. He's the very embodiment of Toryness.
