For those of you blissfully unaware – or blissfully not British – the UK government has found itself in hot water recently. No, not because of the rising rates of poverty, thousands of families unable to pay their energy bills, or the record-breaking use of food banks, but because it turns out they were partying throughout the Covid-19 lockdowns. And also while all of the above was happening. Normal country.
Somehow, prime minister Boris Johnson is clinging on, hoping everyone will forget about it. However, not only is the public holding a grudge, it looks like gamers are too. One Fallout 76 player has turned to the MMO show the absurdity of the situation, setting up their own 10 Downing Street in the wasteland – full of a bunch of partying clowns.
This creation was spotted by Twitter user @HighVoltage1989, who shared it in a short clip. Here, Vault Boys are seen outside with briefcases – which were allegedly used by real-life politicians to secretly pick up more booze without getting caught breaching lockdown rules. Downing Street itself has been renamed “party central”, which is an honest rebrand considering the fact that the Metropolitan Police are currently investigating up to 16 parties that were said to have taken place in the building.
The politicians under investigation – including prime minister Boris Johnson himself – are very fittingly represented by clowns dancing by the windows. As the player gets closer to the house, we can even see that the creator included Larry the Cat, a feline who has served as “Chief Mouser” to residents of Downing Street since 2011. Real country, I swear.
When a British political event has reached the gaming world, it’s safe to say that it won’t be forgotten anytime soon. If we have any self-hating Tory ministers among our readers, then you might as well tell Johnson to pack it in now.
