What is this stage set-up? Why is the British PM sitting in the cuck chair?

[–] DarkThoughts@fedia.io 50 points 10 months ago (2 children)

I generally need way more context for that scene.

[–] tootoughtoremember@lemmy.world 50 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

ITV's This Morning thought it would be a good idea to introduce the current PM to Britain's most tattooed mom.

Not sure what Britons are meant to learn about Rishi Sunak, or what yet another Tory government would have in store for them, from his take on sandwiches, coke, or chatting with an OnlyFans model ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

[–] madcaesar@lemmy.world 8 points 10 months ago (2 children)

My God, Britons are as dumb as Americans 🙁

[–] Susaga@sh.itjust.works 14 points 10 months ago

Absolutely. We just try not to put the idiots in front of cameras and the world stage. Then we got distracted by Doctor Who and Piers Morgan slipped out.

[–] CrypticCoffee@lemmy.ml 3 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

I wouldn't go that far. I do not think Donald Trump could have won an election here. We do have a massive amount of idiots. Not as much though.

[–] nova_ad_vitum@lemmy.ca 3 points 10 months ago

After watching it...I don't think you so .

[–] Susaga@sh.itjust.works 40 points 10 months ago

It's where he belongs.

[–] riodoro1@lemmy.world 17 points 10 months ago

Im sorry but what the fuck is this?

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 9 points 10 months ago

He should think himself lucky to be even invited indoors after his performance this election.

Genuinely think he did it out of spite for the membership picking Liz Truss over him, although it was fun watching them agonise over whether they hated women or brown people the most.

[–] pastermil@sh.itjust.works 6 points 10 months ago

He is a cuck, alright...

[–] EmoDuck@sh.itjust.works 4 points 10 months ago

Waiting for coach to put him in

What do humans eat? sandwiches, ive heard of that

“Oh yes i enjoy regular sandwiches just like all other regular humans. A big enjoyer of sandwiches. Yes. Uh fillings? What? No, I look after my teeth”

[–] Frozengyro@lemmy.world 26 points 10 months ago

It's like the Zuckerberg- I enjoy barbequing, just like every American human!

[–] mecfs@lemmy.world 128 points 10 months ago (3 children)

It gets even better

In the footage, the PM told two schoolboys: “I’m a Coke addict. A total Coke addict.”

After a brief pause, he clarifies: “Coca-Cola addict. Just for the record. Just to be totally clear. I am a Coca-Cola addict. I have seven fillings to show for it.”

[–] nova_ad_vitum@lemmy.ca 28 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Damn he almost had a shot to gain votes there but then he blew it.

[–] LodeMike@lemmy.today 4 points 10 months ago

Just like he (didn't) blow that coke!

[–] flicker@lemmy.world 24 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I'm from the US and this laugh... I really needed it. Thank you.

That's just like Linus's "Hard R" thing.

Why does that remind me of this?

[–] nova_ad_vitum@lemmy.ca 19 points 10 months ago (1 children)

This guy eats a sandwich with a facial expression that indicates that he plans to beat his Butler for making it wrong.

[–] Snowpix@lemmy.ca 6 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

He looks like Elon Musk did smoking that joint.

[–] rockSlayer@lemmy.world 9 points 10 months ago

he looks like he just bit into a real nasty patty. I dare you to eat another sandwich, Sunak

[–] massive_bereavement@fedia.io 6 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Oh, how robbed he was with just a picture.

..And maybe the fact that nobody liked him..

I heard from Jon Richardson while he was in a bathtub that Rishi Sunack made his money by causing a global financial crisis.

And honestly I'd prefer to receive all my dystopian news that way now.

People complain about Starmer, but he’s a human rights lawyer, rather than a disaster capitalist, so surely that’s a step in the right direction

Reminds me of when in 2018 when running for the Utah Senate seat, Massachusettsian Mitt Romney, trying to appeal to the masses, said his favorite meat is hot dog.

[–] sunzu@kbin.run 25 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Democracy makes these elites say weird shit.

[–] radix@lemmy.world 33 points 10 months ago (2 children)

It's one banana, Michael. What could it cost, $10?

[–] Zorque@lemmy.world 9 points 10 months ago

That's as much as seeing a Star War!

[–] PlasticExistence@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

Narrator: Thanks to inflation, it was significantly more.

[–] apfelwoiSchoppen@lemmy.world 11 points 10 months ago (1 children)

At the time and even now, it was joked about that Romney isn't really human. Because who TF says that.

[–] PythagreousTitties@lemm.ee 12 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Romney also told everyone that he strapped his dog to the roof of the car while traveling on a family vacation.

[–] massive_bereavement@fedia.io 8 points 10 months ago

That's sounds like something out of National Lampoon's Vacation.

Abortions for some, miniature American flags for others!

[–] andyburke@fedia.io 7 points 10 months ago

Please clap.

[–] givesomefucks@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago (2 children)

I was gonna ask what know and of question "what's your favorite meat"...

Then I realized it was likely someone in Utah asking.

[–] apfelwoiSchoppen@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)
[–] wjrii@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

Doesn't seem like anyone necessarily asked at all. He just volunteered it. I doubt it's true, for the record, but it is a very Utah answer.

[–] radicalautonomy@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I was gonna ask what know and of question

I think you may have had a stroke, mate.

I dont belive he eats, let alone has a favourite meal.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 8 points 10 months ago

He's going to have a lot more time to ~~have the servants~~ make one now.

[–] reallykindasorta@slrpnk.net 7 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I’m glad everyone got to see him chat with the most tattooed mom, very telling of who a person is.

sorry guys looks like it's another tory hold

[–] r00ty@kbin.life 6 points 10 months ago

Too late, I voted against him. If only I saw this before I left!

[–] VaalaVasaVarde@sopuli.xyz 6 points 10 months ago

Prove it, try all of James May's sandwiches on camera and we'll believe you!

[–] Dasnap@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Didn't eating a sandwich nuke Ed Miliband's chances?
