Turns out the lettuce was more intelligent also

Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world · 30 pts · 140d

Like that wasn't obvious from the start?

Why does she still get attention?

She speedran meaningfully damaging an already damaged economy when given power in days. Her ideas demonstrably lack merit.

Unless her following is literally just people waiting for her to say something else stupid

essell@lemmy.world · 15 pts · 140d (2 replies)

Mostly because she says stuff like this, and it gets attention.

It is pretty funny. Outside of the current global climate, it's pretty funny.

I came here to laugh not for news!

Probably because she is the second third* ever female UK Prime Minister.

That alone means her (incredibly stupid) comments have public interest.

*I have been reminded again that I can't count (fair).

AnalogJack@lemmy.world · 16 pts · 140d (2 replies)

She’s the third female PM, Margaret Thatcher was first and Theresa May second.

pulsewidth@lemmy.world · 13 pts · 139d

I'd like to say that I didn't count Thatcher as a human, but the truth is i just totally forgot Theresa May.

Corrected, cheers.

harrys_balzac@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 1 pts · 139d

I'm not sure she was even human. Might have been an MI5 project to create a lifelike android to infiltrate and take over Parliament.

Holy shit, and here I thought organized trans crime conspiracies were exclusively American Republican. Why does everything stupid or regressive that comes out of the USA get parroted over here.

quick note, if anyone wants kitkats at a super low price hmu

Dojan@pawb.social · 33 pts · 140d (1 reply)

Hold on, ensure Nestle loses money, and you’d fund trans people? Fucking sign me up! This is a fantastic idea! We need an underground trans mafia that steals chocolate to resell.

lyralycan@sh.itjust.works · 6 pts · 140d

I'm gonna take this idea to Pride lol

FateOfTheCrow@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 19 pts · 140d

The spread of american idiocy to a global scale isn't a coincidence. It's a combination of homegrown grifters who see the grift over there working, and a concerted effort by the Epstein Class to spread their influence abroad.

NABDad@lemmy.world · 10 pts · 140d

Where do you think America got their stupid people from? Did you think Europe stopped making them after they sent them here?

Ziglin@lemmy.world · 8 pts · 140d

I'll take one :3

atopi@piefed.blahaj.zone · 44 pts · 140d (1 reply)

we should form an underground transgender mafia

SSETranquility@lemmy.world · 7 pts · 139d

Looks like it's already in full swing. Just in case you're looking... I have a very reputable kitkat source for the next few weeks...

Berengaria_of_Navarre@lemmy.world · 32 pts · 140d (2 replies)

Because the world is the way it is right now I just need to check. This is satire, right?

als@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 29 pts · 140d

Nah, it's a running gag that she blames the trans mafia for everything: https://www.thepinknews.com/2024/10/01/liz-truss-underground-trans-mafia-conservative-conference/

FearMeAndDecay@literature.cafe · 3 pts · 139d

I’m glad I wasn’t the only one who needed to check…

Oh gimme a break

Smorty@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 24 pts · 140d

sounds... probable.

What exactly are the trans mafia running a racket on? Knee high socks?

Ryanmiller70@lemmy.zip · 13 pts · 139d

barnaclebutt@lemmy.world · 20 pts · 140d (1 reply)

I say that Liz Truss is actually just one giant cunt.

Aceticon@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 4 pts · 139d

And not even in a good way.

nutbutter@discuss.tchncs.de · 18 pts · 140d (1 reply)

Fuck Nestle

This means stealing KitKats is okay, maybe?

Svartis@piefed.blahaj.zone · 24 pts · 140d

stealing from large coorperarions is always okay :3

Wait it's not real? It got me. The world is really in a state if I can read this and think it's real. I'd never heard of this woman but the shit that some people say made this just on the edge of believability. I feel like in 2000s or the 90s people weren't so stupid.

But have you heard of... A lettuce?

luthis@lemmy.nz · 1 pts · 139d (2 replies)

Did she like lettuce or something? I'm not in on this joke..

EatMyPixelDust@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 2 pts · 140d

Yeah well at this point we've been accused of so much insane crap that it's hard to tell.

mogoh@lemmy.ml · 3 pts · 140d

I couldn't tell either.

captainlezbian@lemmy.world · 17 pts · 140d (1 reply)

Ma'am, we've got better shit to do

tacosanonymous@mander.xyz · 9 pts · 140d

And much better food to eat.

Shit, they're onto us.

Who snitched?

Munkisquisher@lemmy.nz · 9 pts · 140d

Sorry it was me, I spilled my breakfast on the cat and exclaimed "bloody underground trans mafia strikes again"

Oceans 11 trans remake when?

grrgyle@slrpnk.net · 4 pts · 139d

But actually

gndagreborn@lemmy.world · 15 pts · 140d (1 reply)

Honestly, that would be a hilarious trade. A transgender mafia trading chocolate for estrogen.

hovercat@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 5 pts · 139d

Are you kidding me? Shot day is when I crave chocolate the most, I'm not giving that chocolate away.

MushuChupacabra@piefed.world · 15 pts · 139d

Lettuce not listen to this grifter.

TheTechnician27@lemmy.world · 15 pts · 140d

Would've been breaking as a parody of disinformation 18 months ago

KitKat heist was very real, though.

0ops@piefed.zip · 11 pts · 139d

Knew it

TwilitSky@lemmy.world · 9 pts · 139d

I'm kind of surprised the Liz made it 44 days against the lettuce.

TigerAce@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 8 pts · 140d

I suggest Liz Truss is a piece of shit

pyre@lemmy.world · 8 pts · 139d

mad-libs headline?

also kudos to truss on having no shame and still showing her face to humans

germanatlas@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 6 pts · 140d

That’s why the salad won

Hominine@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 140d

Ah, a Candace Owens for the other side of the pond. 

rustydrd@sh.itjust.works · 5 pts · 139d

That sounds... awesome! Like, I want this to be true, underground transgender mafia, hell yeah!!

pringus@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 5 pts · 139d

being in an underground transgender mafia would fix me

LodeMike@lemmy.today · 5 pts · 140d

Amazing. I wan a meet them: 3

Godric@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 139d

No one knew what the fuck you stood for. Political fucking mist - no substance, no weight. You've got all the charm of a rotting teddy bear by a graveside.

So now, please, just fuck off back to your hole you headless frump, and prepare for your column in Grazia."

unemployedclaquer@sopuli.xyz · 4 pts · 140d

She's got a good narrative name, and she could have rode the decaying lettuce meme. She's otherwise awful, as a politician. And I'm from the u.s.

Una@europe.pub · 3 pts · 139d (2 replies)

She is 100% wrong, like how can someone even think of that?

tempest@lemmy.ca · 18 pts · 139d (1 reply)

Imagine for a second that you were rewarded for spouting insane bullshit.

Why she does it isn't the question. The question is why does it work. The people who read this are definitely eating paint chips.

Una@europe.pub · 2 pts · 139d

Yeah I know, this was supposed to be satirical way of me acting as if it is true but me trying to cover up all connections.

davetortoise@reddthat.com · 3 pts · 139d

Everyone look for a suspiciously KitKat-shaped Italian trans person!

FistingEnthusiast@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 140d (1 reply)

I look forward to her obituary

Draconic_NEO@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 2 pts · 140d

Hopefully they'll do an episode about her on Respect the Dead when that happens.

kerrigan778@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 2 pts · 139d

That's as many as four threes, and that's terrible.

Calfpupa@lemmy.ml · 1 pts · 140d
