Liz Truss imposed regressive cannabis law on Bermuda. Why?

Liz Truss: suppose the people of Bermuda had rebelled against her order not to legalise cannabis – would she have sent in the tanks?

This is bizarre: not only did Liz Truss ruin the UK’s economy during her 49 days (or however many they were) as prime minister of the UK, but she also stopped the people of Bermuda from having a good time:

Bermuda might be a UK overseas territory but it is internally self-governing and the British governor’s function is, basically, to rubber-stamp legislation by the House of Assembly of the island’s Parliament.

So why did Liz Truss demand that the legalisation of cannabis be vetoed?

Wasn’t she going beyond her powers in doing so?

And should we be surprised that the island hasn’t declared independence in response to this betrayal of the 1620 Royal Proclamation granting limited self-governance?

    Owning one of the largest cannabis farms in Europe, no doubt her chum Victoria Atkins must have been absolutely gutted not to have had a bit of overseas trade with one of our colonial brass plaque outposts. Are they still talking?
