Fellow Citizens: Sir Desmond and Freeborn Englishmen

fellow citizens: Sir Desmond does not have a blanket objection to covering his visage, you understand he has previously described blackface as an entirely acceptable bit of fun after boasting of dressing up as the late soul singer James Brown, according to Rabble. But while Sir Desmond may believe that all freeborn Englishmen have a sacred right to racist fancy dress, measures to stop the spread of a pandemic that has killed one in every 1,000 of his fellow citizens represent objectionable tyranny. A monstrous imposition! is how our modern-day Boudicca, the Tory backbencher Sir Desmond Swayne, decried the new law compelling customers to cover their faces before entering a shop. He is far from alone social media abounds with Tory activists ripping up their membership cards, assailing an authoritarian government that is not remotely conservative . The anti-mask revolt on the right is a global occurrence. On one level, this is just another expression of dog-eat-dog individualism to hell with the common good if it requires sacrifice on my part, however minor. In Texas, anti-mask activists believe such an imposition belongs in a communist country while the Oklahoma city of Stillwater backed off from imposing a compulsory mask order after threats of violence.
