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

[–] [email protected] 39 points 10 months ago

It's where he belongs.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 10 months ago

Im sorry but what the fuck is this?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago

He is a cuck, alright...

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”

[–] [email protected] 25 points 10 months ago

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

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.”

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

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago

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

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?

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

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

He looks like Elon Musk did smoking that joint.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 10 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 5 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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

A very small step.

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.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Democracy makes these elites say weird shit.

[–] [email protected] 33 points 10 months ago (2 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 9 points 10 months ago

That's as much as seeing a Star War!

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago

Narrator: Thanks to inflation, it was significantly more.

[–] [email protected] 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.

[–] [email protected] 13 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.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 10 months ago

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

Just put milksteak, she'll know what it is.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 10 months ago

Abortions for some, miniature American flags for others!

[–] [email protected] 7 points 10 months ago

Please clap.

[–] [email protected] 6 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.

I think you may have had a stroke, mate.

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.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 10 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 8 points 10 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 6 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

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

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