LIKE MANY PEOPLE in Ireland, Leo Varadkar had a pancake yesterday.

In an attempt to relate to the citizens of this country, he made the huge mistake of sharing a photograph of this pancake. This desperately sad, shockingly thin and absurdly transparent pancake. It’s more like a pansliver. There’s no cake element to this, whatsoever.

That’s not much of a treat before the ‘Lenten fast’. It looks like it was shaved off of a normal pancake.

Of course, the jokes began to roll in.

Well, at least he knows that next time the government need to create a distraction, all they’ve got to do is post a food pic to freak everyone out.
