Prime Minister Theresa May has admitted the naughtiest thing she ever did was “run through fields of wheat” as a young woman.
Axar.az reports citing RT.
Interviewed by ITV News on Monday evening, May was asked about the worst behavior she could remember, presumably as a child.
The PM struggled to find an answer to the lighthearted question, first exclaiming “oh my goodness,” followed by a “gosh, do you know, I am not quite sure.
“Nobody is ever perfectly behaved, are they?” she added, still not being able to remember if she had ever been mischievous.
Eventually, the Conservative leader was able to come up with: “I have to confess when me and my friends used to run through the fields of wheat the farmers weren’t too pleased about that.”
Social media quickly burst into virtual laughter at the answer, with some suggesting “how profoundly sad it is as a life lived.”
“I don’t think I’ve ever cringed so much as I did hearing Theresa May answer about the naughtiest thing she’s done,” I Labour supporter Liam Young wrote on Twitter.
Even the Leave.EU campaign found the answer worthy of mockery, tweeting: “PM confirms naughtiest thing she ever did was run through fields of wheat & p*ss off the farmers. Be afraid Europe, she’s a loose cannon!”.
