It was, in fact, hilarious.

[–] Ketoth@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

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

[–] racer983@mander.xyz 6 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

She was certainly efficient in her destruction

[–] VanillaGorilla@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

For a lettuce

[–] Jurbl@lemmy.ca 5 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.

[–] thoro@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

She made it even funnier, really

[–] AbouBenAdhem@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] Corran1138@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

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

[–] leraje@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

Yet more evidence that Liz is always wrong.

[–] Draugnoss@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 year ago

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

[–] userdata0@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

I disagree, I think it's hilarious

[–] Qxzkjp@feddit.uk 2 points 1 year ago

Liz Truss is wrong.

[–] Ni@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] Bucket_of_Truth@kbin.social 1 points 1 year 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 1 year ago

I bet the lettuce was offended more.

That 👏 is 👏 a 👏 disgrace

[–] lasagna@programming.dev 1 points 1 year ago

She wasn't known for her sense of humour.

[–] Hol@feddit.uk 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

She should have stuck with Romaine.

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

[–] BelieveRevolt@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year 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 1 year ago

“I don’t think it was particularly funny"

Then why am I laughing so hard?
