It was, in fact, hilarious.

[-] Ketoth@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 years ago

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

[-] racer983@mander.xyz 6 points 3 years ago

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

[-] Ni@kbin.social 0 points 3 years ago

She was certainly efficient in her destruction

[-] VanillaGorilla@kbin.social 1 points 3 years ago

For a lettuce

[-] Jurbl@lemmy.ca 5 points 3 years ago

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

[-] thoro@lemmy.ml 1 points 3 years ago

She made it even funnier, really

[-] AbouBenAdhem@lemmy.world 4 points 3 years ago

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

[-] Corran1138@lemmy.world 1 points 3 years ago

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

[-] leraje@kbin.social 4 points 3 years ago

Yet more evidence that Liz is always wrong.

[-] Draugnoss@sopuli.xyz 2 points 3 years ago

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

[-] userdata0@kbin.social 2 points 3 years ago

I disagree, I think it's hilarious

[-] Qxzkjp@feddit.uk 2 points 3 years ago

Liz Truss is wrong.

[-] Ni@kbin.social 1 points 3 years ago

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

[-] Bucket_of_Truth@kbin.social 1 points 3 years ago

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

[-] Magnus@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 3 years ago

I bet the lettuce was offended more.

[-] freebrick@kbin.social 1 points 3 years ago

PORK MARKETS!!

[-] BigVault@kbin.social 1 points 3 years ago

That 👏 is 👏 a 👏 disgrace

[-] lasagna@programming.dev 1 points 3 years ago

She wasn't known for her sense of humour.

[-] Hol@feddit.uk 1 points 3 years ago

She should have stuck with Romaine.

[-] DreamerOfImprobableDreams@kbin.social 1 points 3 years ago

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

[-] BelieveRevolt@lemmy.world 1 points 3 years ago

I'd already forgotten about the lettuce, but apparently she'll never get over it, and that's what makes the lettuce comparison funny again after all this time.

[-] VoxAdActa@kbin.social 1 points 3 years ago

“I don’t think it was particularly funny"

Then why am I laughing so hard?
