Why? To escape her and her policies?

[-] CrabAndBroom@lemmy.ml 9 points 1 day ago

Brexit 2, the UK leaves the Earth altogether to defeat the small boats once and for all

[-] Honytawk@discuss.tchncs.de 9 points 1 day ago

That is actually canonical in Dr Who. They call it Starship UK.

[-] CrabAndBroom@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 day ago

They have a robotic Suella Braverman that tries to shoot down the TARDIS. If a small boat is bigger on the inside, it still counts.

[-] A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

and they leave by lobotomizing a star whale and building the new UK on its back as it swims through the stars

[-] anarchy79@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago

Yeah living conditions on Earth would be so vile that we'd go to Mars and leave her behind.

[-] kent_eh@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 day ago

Or send her to Mars, and leave her to figure out how to get herself back.

[-] Treczoks@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago

Yep. They'll be running that hard from her, indeed.

[-] schnurrito@discuss.tchncs.de 15 points 1 day ago

sounds like she just volunteered to be sent to Mars

[-] Etterra@discuss.online 9 points 1 day ago

She can live there with Elon. $5 says they kill each other on the way there.

[-] SippyCup@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

so THAAAATS what happened to the crew of the Hail Mary

[-] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

If you read the book that's actually the reason why they put them in medical comas. They feared they'd get cabin fever and kill each other on the trip.

[-] SippyCup@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Fuckin A. That makes sense.

I initially planned on reading it but I had already started The Captives War and I wasn't about to stop.

[-] Etterra@discuss.online 14 points 1 day ago

Bitch you couldn't outlast a cabbage.

[-] FooBarrington@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago

I'm pretty sure she is right. Where else would Brits be safe from her incompetence?

[-] Bromeliadventures@lemmy.world 139 points 2 days ago

What's really frustrating about Liz Truss is she is too stupid to understand how stupid she is. If she could wrap her head around that, she might just shut up and we'd never have to hear from her again.

[-] limelight79@lemmy.world 1 points 6 hours ago

She's definitely not the only politician in that predicament.

[-] raspberriesareyummy@lemmy.world 18 points 2 days ago

Dunning Kruger...

If my granny had wheels, she'd be a shopping trolley

[-] TankovayaDiviziya@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

The PMs after David Cameron are only in it for the power to feed their own ego and not about governing, especially the Tory PMs. Kier Starmer was not a great Labour PM but he's less egotistical than his Tory counterparts. Andy Burnham appears to be more down to earth but only time will tell.

[-] stumu415@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 day ago

How did she become PM in the first place?

[-] melsaskca@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 day ago

...and there would have been a chicken in every pot...

[-] GreyShuck@feddit.uk 63 points 2 days ago

Well, if the tories - and Truss particularly - had remained in power until then, I can imagine that a lot of people would be taking extreme measure to get away, so I can see her point.

She should romaine quiet on concepts she doesn't grasp.

[-] daychilde@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago

You sunk her just like an iceberg.

[-] svcg@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 1 day ago

That joke is a little gem, that is.

[-] driving_crooner@lemmy.eco.br 2 points 1 day ago

She had sick spacial exploration program that was about to reveal to everyone but you made fun of her with that forsaken lettuce and now everyone of is lost it. Congratulations to everyone one of you, ungrateful bastards.

[-] BeMoreCareful@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

2040 even sounds ridiculous.

[-] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 day ago

IMHO most countries could still accomplish this. There's just no political will for it. Mars is worthless to most people before terraforming, and now we need to terraform Earth first. How can we expect to fix Mars if we can't stop ruining Earth?

[-] hraegsvelmir@ani.social 4 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

There's that, but also, looking at the sort of people pushing hardest for establishing Martian colonies, they are all the sort of folks who would tell you how you can be advancing humanity on another planet, then deduct the cost of your oxygen consumption from your paycheck, if not just cutting off the air supply if you happen to get a little uppity about "muh human rights" when they want you to work 16 hours a day for some dumb idea they had.

[-] sns@lemmy.dbzer0.com 38 points 2 days ago

Maybe she's born with it, maybe it's ketamine.

[-] normanwall@lemmy.world 37 points 2 days ago

The lettuce was smarter

Fucking this!!!!

Mars is less habitable than earth, and we're gunning to make earth uninhabitable.

Well she shouldn't have killed the queen, and then no one would have ousted her.

[-] SippyCup@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

Stop it. Regicide is cool. Truss was never cool.

[-] phutatorius@lemmy.zip 25 points 2 days ago

Make up for lost time and send her on a rocket into the sun.

She's basically Donald trump with two x chromosomes.

I think this gal has a better chance at making it to Mars than Liz...

[-] mycodesucks@lemmy.world 19 points 2 days ago

Lettuce consider the possibility.
