“I won’t stand for it. Would we see the same reaction if the activists were far-right?”
Not at all, Liz, not at all. The far-right would use violence
-
She says this as if the far-right doesn't constantly belittle, cuss out, diminish, put down, and spread falsehoods about their opponents and minorities
-
But she isn’t one of those people. She only cares when she’s the one affected
-
-
They usually get a slap on the wrist; cf instigating race riots gives longer sentences than blocking a highway.
-
-
It's not funny... it's HILARIOUS!
-
I felt a little bit sorry for her before I watched the video...and...hearing her say "It's the economy, stupid" and then the banner...it's a masterpiece. I can't stop watching it 😁
-
And she's wearing lettuce green!
-
It’s like watching an old slapstick pie-to-the-face routine, except the surprise is genuine. Truly, it’s majestic.

"they are suppressing my free speech" says woman invited to be on stage in front of a crowd of people and say anything she wants.

[Truss complained that the British press wasn't] “particularly deferential to politicians”
Why should they be? Their job should be to inform the public, not suck up to those in power.
-
Right? Fourth Estate doing its job, bitch. They spend enough time sucking capitalist dick, let them have this.
-
Also she holds no political offices right now. She isn't even an MP anymore. I think few politicians in the UK have demolished themselves this fast and spectacularly.

They suppressed free speech... by speaking.
I don't really get the joke, though. Lettuce?
-
There was a bet at the time she came into office that she would last less than an iceberg lettuce because of her outrageous policy proposals. She lasted 45 days before the pension funds collapsed and she was replaced, meanwhile, the lettuce persevered in its side dish career.

They can never laugh it off, that's all they need to do, but they don't have the capacity to laugh at themselves.
-
Which is ironic, considering that they're British.

She makes like a lettuce and leaves
-
It was all she had eyes berg for.

I got disrupted!! They are taking away my free speech by disrupting me!! On my book tour!! It's a security threat!! I have to go!! Trump is the best!! Love you Elon, thanks for X!!
-ex british pm of 45 days
-
And her without a parliamentary seat now too. Poor think will be Romaine aimlessly around not knowing what to do with herself.
-
She'll probably stay in the Fringe all year.

To paraphrase a popular English football (soccer) chant:
🎶 It's happened again. It's happened again. Liz Truss' lettuce, it's happened again! 🎶
-
Liz Truss makes for a better parody version of herself than the best comedian. She's is so inept in public.
-
Such a shame on the activists to spread disinformation. It was Lizzy who crushed the economy, #NOT THE LETTUCE!
-
Whoever is recording that really needs to clean the lens.
-
-
Go home bot you're drunk. And I'm blocking you.
-
It really is an annoying piece of shit

Those are called voters.
pretty sure... uhm. do sheep eat lettuce?
Cows? maybe? or perhaps horses?
Well, it also included bankers and other financial types, economists and captains if industries, classic leftist material and bureaucracy according to truss, who were all hearing the economic equivalent of "terrain beep boop pull up" from their instruments and started yelling for somebody to do something.
