      Doubtful. It will either immediately go back on its promise of no censorship, or will become a cess pit of hate and illegal activity.

      Either way it’s doomed from the outset by virtue of being associated with Liz Truss

      I do remember her subpar performance as PM, but I don’t remember her being so redpilled and Trumpian. Did the lettuce experience do this to her, make her so full of grievances?

        She just wants attention, she’s the same as Piers Morgan and that Katie something from a few years ago

        People often (but not always) slide into conspiracies after a trauma or public humiliation. It’s a weird sort of comfort for many of them.

    Truss thinks she can be a Trump or a Farage-style populist that can easily get people to jump in on any stupid scheme, but she just doesn’t have the charisma to pull it off. Such delusions of grandeur.

      Who is she even surrounding herself with who has convinced her this is a good idea?

      It feels like she’s the victim of a long running practical joke at this point.

    "… a new free speech network… to actually talk about the issues people don’t want to talk about.”

    Fucking hell, Liz, you absolute lettuce!

      Nice catch. I missed that impossible sentence in my first reading. Makes about as much sense as she normally does.

        Dew it! The lettuce thing really triggers her, doesn’t it!

        Phil Moorhouse predicted it might just be a Discord channel, which would be hilarious if it turns out to be true.

        Who would actually sign up for a Truss social media site? Apart from people joining just to spam her with lettuce memes. Do it, Liz. We need you to make this site! The future is in the balance and only YOU can save it, Liz, by making a social media site that we definitely won’t spam with lettuce memes.

    Calling her a former PM is stretching it, she basically killed the queen, crashed the economy and then fucked off.

    It’ll be a dating site for rich married people like Ashley Madison but the only person they can match with will be her.
