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

[-] DarkThoughts@fedia.io 50 points 4 months ago

I generally need way more context for that scene.

[-] tootoughtoremember@lemmy.world 50 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

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 4 months ago

My God, Britons are as dumb as Americans 🙁

[-] Susaga@sh.itjust.works 14 points 4 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 4 months ago* (last edited 4 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 4 months ago

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

[-] Susaga@sh.itjust.works 40 points 4 months ago

It's where he belongs.

[-] riodoro1@lemmy.world 17 points 4 months ago

Im sorry but what the fuck is this?

[-] Blackmist@feddit.uk 9 points 4 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 4 months ago

He is a cuck, alright...

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

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

[-] mecfs@lemmy.world 127 points 4 months ago

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 4 months ago

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

[-] LodeMike@lemmy.today 4 points 4 months ago

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

[-] flicker@lemmy.world 24 points 4 months ago

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

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

[-] NegativeInf@lemmy.world 29 points 4 months ago

Why does that remind me of this?

[-] nova_ad_vitum@lemmy.ca 19 points 4 months ago

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 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

He looks like Elon Musk did smoking that joint.

[-] rockSlayer@lemmy.world 9 points 4 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 4 months ago* (last edited 4 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 4 months ago

Democracy makes these elites say weird shit.

[-] radix@lemmy.world 32 points 4 months ago

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

[-] Zorque@lemmy.world 8 points 4 months ago

That's as much as seeing a Star War!

[-] PlasticExistence@lemmy.world 5 points 4 months ago

Narrator: Thanks to inflation, it was significantly more.

[-] apfelwoiSchoppen@lemmy.world 11 points 4 months ago

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 4 months ago

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 4 months ago

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

Please clap.

[-] foggy@lemmy.world 7 points 4 months ago

Abortions for some, miniature American flags for others!

[-] givesomefucks@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

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

Then I realized it was likely someone in Utah asking.

[-] radicalautonomy@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

I was gonna ask what know and of question

I think you may have had a stroke, mate.

[-] wjrii@lemmy.world 3 points 4 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.

[-] dumbass@leminal.space 9 points 4 months ago

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

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 8 points 4 months ago

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

[-] polonius-rex@kbin.run 7 points 4 months ago

sorry guys looks like it's another tory hold

[-] r00ty@kbin.life 6 points 4 months ago

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

[-] reallykindasorta@slrpnk.net 7 points 4 months ago

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

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