21 funniest Bluesky takedowns of Lee Anderson’s ‘Battle of the Somme’ comment

If you’ve been on any social media site in the past 24 hours, you’ll have seen Reform UK MP Lee Anderson being thoroughly lampooned for the response he gave to Jessica M‘s question about the trials and tribulations of womanhood.

This was her post –

Women deal with periods, pregnancy, and menopause.
What do men have to deal with?

— Jessica M (@Jesii_ca_M) December 8, 2024

And this was his baffling reply –

Since the Battle of the Somme happened in 1916 and 30p Lee was born in 1967, it’s literally beyond the bounds of possibility for him to have ‘tried’ it himself, and we shared some of the deserved mockery he received from Twitter/X yesterday.

We spotted so many great shots across Anderson’s bow on Bluesky, we decided to gather those together, too.

The very funny Sam Whyte got the ball rolling.

And Bluesky ran with it.
