It was, in fact, hilarious.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

the more the lettuce (and truss' government) deteriorated, the funnier the whole thing got.

[–] [email protected] 54 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Thanks Liz. We had almost forgotten that but now you’ve jogged our memories on how funny that was.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

She made it even funnier, really

[–] [email protected] 41 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No that was super funny. Crashing the UK economy seemingly overnight all in a bid to save the richest people in the country a few bucks? Now that's not funny

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

She was certainly efficient in her destruction

For a lettuce

If you think about it Liz is just a fast way of saying lettiz anyways

[–] AbouBenAdhem 25 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I’m more interested in what the lettuce has to say.

[–] Corran1138 10 points 1 year ago

It’s more sensible and intelligent than Truss could ever be.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yet more evidence that Liz is always wrong.

[–] MercuryUprising 3 points 1 year ago

Woman fucks over country by becoming pm without democratic election, proceeds to pilfer the coin purse and enact policies for her friends in office at the detriment of the tax payer, but we are the pieces of shit for comparing her to a head of lettuce.

Seriously, fuck these people. They should be afraid to show their faces in the street.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 year ago

She's just mad that the lettuce lasted longer than she did.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 year ago

I disagree, I think it's hilarious

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 year ago

Yeah, some people really can't catch a break. The nerve of this idiot, just imagine all the suffering she caused by that sycophantic neoliberal madness she pulled in her lettuce-amount of time in power.

“I don’t think it was particularly funny, I think it’s puerile.”

She's half right. Truth is, it was very much both.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I personally found it hilarious, and my absolute best memory of her premiership.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago

The longest serving English monarch died while the shortest serving PM was in office. That sticks out for me.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago

“I don’t think it was particularly funny"

Then why am I laughing so hard?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

Correction: It wouldn't have been funny if Truss had outlasted the lettuce. So she could have made it not funny, but she just chose to suck.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

I yes, in general. But she's also wrong here

That 👏 is 👏 a 👏 disgrace

[–] IgnoreKassandra 9 points 1 year ago

Tough. The only good thing she did during her tenure was kill the queen, so she better get used to being comic relief.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

Should have lasted longer than a lettuce then, shouldn't she?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

She should have stuck with Romaine.

These Brexiters really steered the ship of state directly into the Iceberg.

[–] anditshottoo 7 points 1 year ago

Objectively speaking it may have been one of the funniest things ever.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

I bet the lettuce was offended more.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

I feel sorry for the lettuce tbh.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

She wasn't known for her sense of humour.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I really thought it was.

[–] SucoDeCaju 3 points 1 year ago

Did laugh actually

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago
[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Au contraire, it was hilarious.

And she is wrong
