Lettuce everywhere were offended.
“I don’t think it was particularly funny, I think it’s puerile,” Truss told Irish broadcaster RTÉ
It can be both.
The world's oldest recorded joke, from 1900 BC, was a fart joke.
It's been 4000 years, it's probably time to just admit that we as a species are never going to mature past this.
Her mini budget wasn't funny either, so I guess it balances out.
Humour is subjective. Her awful performance and insane budget were not subjective.
Lettuce agree to disagree, don't be a prune about it!
"Don't blame me, I voted 'romaine'"
Yeah, Cos everyone says that.
just one more thing she's wrong about
Funniest thing she did
Not only was it funny, now it's even funnier.
In the long list of “thing Liz Truss is wrong about”, this is one of the biggest.
I don't agree, it was hilarious.
She made it 4.1 Scaramuccis so we should cut her some slack...
“I think the level of understanding of economic ideas in the media and the ability to explain them is very poor indeed,” she added.
That can be true, but no amount of honest “explaining” would help objectively bad economic policy seem better. I think she was looking for the word “spin”.
- "Let's go full on right wing, don't hold back, it'll be great for the economy!"
- Economy crashes hard, fast.
- "Stupid media didn't understand how great our policy was for the long term," (for the uber rich, in the short term) "and never gave us the chance to see it work" (transfer more, for longer, from poor to rich).
- Millions and millions of people have their costs spiral even more out of control and have even more desperate hardship than they already had
- "It's so desperately unfair, they're so mean to me for making me feel bad."
Many Britons say that they can't afford lettuce is not funny. And it's not 'puerile.'
Okay... it was, though.
… does she still think she did a good job?
I'm more concerned with how the lettuce felt about it, TBH.
I dunno man, I have a hard time giving any sort of give a shit about a world leader of the standing NATO hegemony getting a bit bullied.
Oh no! Anyway...
She's right, it was inromaine
Well she is correct. Having a non elected PM that compares unfavourably to a lettece. Is definatly not funny. And every MP that supported her accession should be removed ASAP.
