TIL there is a new PM in UK.

[-] Z3k3@lemmy.world 56 points 3 months ago

There was a point when that was almost a weekly occurrence

[-] halcyoncmdr@lemmy.world 23 points 3 months ago

That's why the rest of us stopped paying attention. Y'all had to slow it down a bit.

[-] Arbiter@lemmy.world 14 points 3 months ago

If only the same was true of Shrek.

[-] Dicska@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

That would bring the quality down.

Like with the Tories.

Is Margaret thatcher still the queen?

[-] PoorlySketchedIdiot@feddit.nl 6 points 3 months ago

In some circles, yes.

[-] HonoraryMancunian@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

3 was shit but 4 redeemed it

Oooof almost a good meme.

Shrek 4 was released on in 2 July 2010 in the UK. The Tories had won the general election by then and formed a coalition with the Lib Dems.

How can we trust you?

[-] halcyoncmdr@lemmy.world 18 points 3 months ago

Released then means it was already written approved and filmed/animated prior. Can't expect them to wait for years to edit it.

Ha ha, no, there's no way Shrek 4 came out 14 years ago...

Ah, fuck.

[-] wgbirne@feddit.de 13 points 3 months ago

Shrek 4 premiered in April, so before the general election. That should count.

Excuse me, are you citing facts as a reason for a meme to be bad?

[-] Nelots@lemm.ee 3 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Well tbf, in some cases, factually incorrect memes are a way to quickly spread misinformation and can definitely be bad for that reason.

I think the original commenter was at least somewhat joking in this particular instance, though. "How can we trust you?" seems like an odd thing to seriously ask a shitposter. I could be wrong, tone is hard to read online.

If we can’t trust the meme creators, or the reposters, who can we trust?

(the comment thread!) Thanks for doing the due diligence!

[-] ace_garp@lemmy.world 11 points 3 months ago

Turned 90 degrees, the middle pic could be seen as a shit-club-sandwich.

[-] DarkCloud@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

Tony Blair's Neoliberalism is what killed Shrek movies for so long. Associating him with Shrek movies is unfair to Shrek movies.

[-] jpreston2005@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

Simple as, innit!
