    Thanks Liz. We had almost forgotten that but now you’ve jogged our memories on how funny that was.

    It was, in fact, hilarious.

    No that was super funny. Crashing the UK economy seemingly overnight all in a bid to save the richest people in the country a few bucks? Now that’s not funny

      She was certainly efficient in her destruction

    I personally found it hilarious, and my absolute best memory of her premiership.

      The longest serving English monarch died while the shortest serving PM was in office. That sticks out for me.

    Yet more evidence that Liz is always wrong.

    I bet the lettuce was offended more.

    Should have lasted longer than a lettuce then, shouldn’t she?

    She wasn’t known for her sense of humour.

      These Brexiters really steered the ship of state directly into the Iceberg.

    “I don’t think it was particularly funny, I think it’s puerile.”

    She’s half right. Truth is, it was very much both.

    “I don’t think it was particularly funny"
