    She didn’t compare to a lettuce. She actually lost to a lettuce.

      And the lettuce didn’t try to crash the economy. It was miles ahead of her.

    I thought her being compared to somebody capable of leading the country was a laugh, too.

    Imagine all of the failures of your administration, and you take exception to the fact that your shelf date was compared to that of a vegetable.

    If you weren’t so bad at your job, the comparison wouldn’t have been made. Work on it.

      I think it’s a clever form of deflection.

      They want you to emphasize more on name and word calling so people don’t headline actual things they did.

      In the US politicians embrace the name calling, helps you get away with anything else. Trump makes orange jokes at his rallies and supporters love it as a more recent example.

    I completely understand that for her it was not funny at all.

    For everyone else, it was hilarious.

      Yeah, I’m laughing right now, and everyone knows that denying something is funny just makes it funnier.

      The only non-funny thing about this is that I can’t keep lettuce from spoiling in my fridge for a week, dunno what those people did

    It was so fecking unfunny.

    Lettuce is tasty, healthy and useful. Liz was none of those things. It’s a shame we spoiled the good name of lettuce.

      The only thing thing they have in common is that lettuce helps you take a shit and Liz was shit.

    No, it was hilarious.

    There simply aren’t enough bad things that can happen to Tories.
