UK Prime Ministerial tenures since Milk-Snatcher Thatcher, approximated as lettuces

…The lesson that I would like us to take away from this is that instead of repeatedly eating rotten greens, we should elect some fresh Greens

[out of limp metaphors, runs for cover]

[urlyman@mastodon.social]

@Thebratdragon the heart of the matter

[theswiv@hear-me.social]

@urlyman post Brexit lettuce count is telling.
Almost as though not addressing the problem is a problem

[kbm0@mastodon.social]

@urlyman As a yardstick for political impermanence, the lettuce seems well suited - for prime ministers. But I fear we will need a smaller unit to measure the tenure of Reform councillors. I cannot offhand think of a vegetable that perishes rapidly enough.

[urlyman@mastodon.social]

@TheSwiv a lot of bacon and tomato, not enough leafiness

@urlyman @kotaro Ohhh I forgot about Liz Truss!

@kbm0 @urlyman 2 of the 4 navel oranges I got from Lidl on Friday?
I suspect, like Reform Councillors they were already off before they were sold to the public.

[kbm0@mastodon.social]

@urlyman Also like a Reform councillor, it is already unappealing even when it's fresh. (Subjective)

@marjolica @kbm0

A navel seems a strange place to find an orange

@kbm0 @urlyman Milk seems to have the appropriate longevity. ️

and joins the dots back to Milk-Snatcher Thatcher

@urlyman @feijoa Yeah it needs to be in a 1/3 pint bottle with a Sweetheart straw, like we used to get at school prior to Maggie. You'd better call the Daily Mirror and let them know.

@feijoa for local people, we’ll have none of your woke plant milk here!

@kbm0

[marjolica@social.linux.pizza]

@urlyman @kbm0 it's actually the other way round: "The navel orange is a variety of orange with a characteristic second fruit at the apex, which protrudes slightly like a human navel".

@marjolica fluff free?

@feijoa just realised Benny, you’re probably way ahead of me on this
