It was, in fact, hilarious.

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

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

thoro@lemmy.ml · 6 pts · 3y

She made it even funnier, really

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

For a lettuce

I beg to differ, Liz.

MercuryUprising@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 3y

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

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

Corran1138@lemmy.world · 10 pts · 3y

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

leraje@kbin.social · 23 pts · 3y (1 reply)

Yet more evidence that Liz is always wrong.

MercuryUprising@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 3y

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.

HobbitFoot@thelemmy.club · 20 pts · 3y

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

userdata0@kbin.social · 19 pts · 3y

I disagree, I think it's hilarious

pax27@lemmygrad.ml · 18 pts · 3y

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.

Ni@kbin.social · 14 pts · 3y (1 reply)

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

Bucket_of_Truth@kbin.social · 11 pts · 3y

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

VoxAdActa@kbin.social · 11 pts · 3y

“I don’t think it was particularly funny"

Then why am I laughing so hard?

Skyler@kbin.social · 10 pts · 3y

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.

Qxzkjp@feddit.uk · 10 pts · 3y (1 reply)

Liz Truss is wrong.

ReCursing@kbin.social · 4 pts · 3y

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

freebrick@kbin.social · 10 pts · 3y (1 reply)

PORK MARKETS!!

BigVault@kbin.social · 5 pts · 3y

That 👏 is 👏 a 👏 disgrace

IgnoreKassandra@lemmy.world · 9 pts · 3y

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

Draugnoss@sopuli.xyz · 9 pts · 3y

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

Hol@feddit.uk · 8 pts · 3y (1 reply)

She should have stuck with Romaine.

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

anditshottoo@lemmy.world · 7 pts · 3y

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

Magnus@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 6 pts · 3y

I bet the lettuce was offended more.

BigVault@kbin.social · 5 pts · 3y

I feel sorry for the lettuce tbh.

lasagna@programming.dev · 5 pts · 3y

She wasn't known for her sense of humour.

SucoDeCaju@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 3y

Did laugh actually

cloaker@kbin.social · 3 pts · 3y

I really thought it was.

Rakust@kbin.social · 2 pts · 3y

Apt though

ghariksforge@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 3y

I laughed.

robyr@kbin.social · 1 pts · 3y

Au contraire, it was hilarious.

LittleKerr@lemmy.world · 0 pts · 3y

And she is wrong
